CHARGES AGAINST GENERAL GRANT.
| Unjust refer to some of the unreasonable and
frivolous charges made against General Grant,
which It seems to me nothing but the mendacity
reiterate. One IL that he is inattentive to the
duties OF his office and recreates too much at water

to remember his four long years OF toll and hard
duties OF his office, absolutely require all the time
