Ex-GOv. HENRY A. WISE.

The paragraph set afioat by some "bohe-
milan" that Col. J. S,:Mosby and Gen
Henry A. Wise, are going to support Grant
rather than Greeley, is a canard but sup.
pose it were true What OF ii?
Col. Mosby is a small sized lawyer, en-
Joying notoriety as a successful partzan
warrior during the war, but known in
civil life only as petty court house law
yer, in his own county His influence does
not extend to any except his immediate
dependents.
AS for Gen Wise, his character and the
emotions felt for him 10y virginians, are
full Of contradictions. As n soldier. the
General was failure; decided failure /;
Out there was no Drawer man in the army :;
as politician, lie is looked on as n kind
Of harmless lunatic, who for the purpose
OF being original or eccentric, ignores
everything except his own impractical
opinions; as man and n patriot lie is
loved aud reyerenced 10y almost every one
who has ever had the pleasure OF his
personal acquaintance; as q lawyer he is
dead failure, younger lawyers who are
associated with him in the conduct of cases
complain that lac acts almost like an in
sane man; that he allows his personal
opinions to override law and common
sense, and so embarrass his associates as
to almost compel them to give up their
cases.
Personally we believe the General to be
n pure-hearted old demagogue. who loves
his country, second only to his own opin-
ions, but whose way o; showing his patri.
otism is as eccentric rs he is himself We
learn from Gen. Wises own letters Il at he
will not support Grant, but we know o.
our own knowledge that it makes no diff.
ference who he supports, except as his
ow" vote may count, and we believe he
has no vote, as according to the peaceful
policy OF Grants party, lac is still an out
law. So it is almost time the paragraph
that Gen. Wise is going to take the stump
for Grant had been allowed 10 go where
