Washington, June q, 1872

Washington, June Il, 1872.
Pres ident Grant received u telegram Mt

forenoon, and as there was not the slight

near at hand did not consider it necessary
to show their esteem by Fastening to the
White house, and Secretary Boutwell, who
had more interest in the nomination of
Wilson for the vice presidency, remarked,

The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-06-12

In AN article on the death of james
Gordon Bennett, a cotemporary remarks
that he WAS in his old age tall, heavy,
bony man. with thick white hair, jagged
brows, large features, one eye twisted and
both twinkling, with a strong Scotch ac-
cent, and in manner at once grave and
genial. He was the untrammeled despot
OF the Herald, and in matters of business
he was quick, positive and clear. 1t has
been understood, in all parts Of the world
that the Herald always paid with liber-
atty for exclusive intelligence, and this
fame has given it on many occasions ad-
vantages over its contemporaries. Mr..
Bennett leaves wife and two children
q son and daughter. His wife has re-
sided in Europe, usually in Switzerland,
we believe, for several years. His son and
daughter were in England when his alarm
ing illness was announced, and sailed for
home on Friday. James Gordon Bennett,
IT,, is young man of fine capacity, and
his father had faith in him that he would
be, when his wild oats were sown, the bes
journal in America.

SOMETHING new in literary line is to
surprise and delight the public shortly.
An energetic and enterprising writer,
hailing from New Jersey, intends writing
a history of Grants Relations and their
Connections. The book will be compiled
from reliable sources and will circulate as
a campaign document in the interest Of
Ulysses. 1t is believed IL it Is issued in
time and sent out in company with his
tory of the three years of Grants admin
istration, with a full report of the San
Domingo scheme, the brilliant success Of
the Washington treaty, full list Of the
appointments made in return for houses,
horses, greenbaoks carriages and dogs,
witha biographical sketch of the family
relations now in office it may probably
gain him q vote or two. The book IL ex-
pected to create an intense sensation, at
least among Grants friends, to have an
immense sale, and to make the fortune Of
its author, whatever 1t may do for its SUBJ
icct.
