A social Conversation C With Pres
fuzt" . u -fHidartt Grant --'.'i.- --'''

-
afternoon, the President briefly and
calmly engaged in conversation with
several of his friends, chiefly on polit-
icdl affairs, for which it appears that be
is satisfied with the situation as regards
himself. When asked about The alleged
Slight to Frederick Douglass, hereplied
that if Douglass did not complain be-
cause he was not invited by him to
dinner, he did not see why Senator
Sumner should exhibit so much ankle
ty, If not indignation, upon the subject.
The simple fact was, that the Santo
Domingo Commissioners, with their
secretary, having called to submit their
report, he invited them to dine with
him.. Frederick Douglass not being
with the Commission he did not at
the time think Of him, nor of others
who accompanied the expedition; but
if Siegel and Douglass had been with
the Commissioners they would have
been included in the invitation to din
ner, which was informa and private,
having no official Significance what
ever. The President expressed his sur
prise that so much should be said bout
an innateria1 matter, one that meraly
concerned his own household. s-..l I..sI
The President remark ed that no pub
lie, business is neglected BY his absence
from Washington, as he attended to it
at Ejong Braiiel1, > His coming back to
Washington to-day was not; absolutely
necessary for that purpose. - f.il. ~
