GRANTS TREATMENToF SOLDIERS
tron the Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph.
W. hna.o nniicad Aha nn.l.. Of Al,

from the Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph.
We have noticed the reply of Mr..
John \. Logan 10 Senator Sumner,
and especially that part of it where he
tells the latter that the soldiers ofthe
republic would remember his speech.
We think it would be more logical
and senatorial if he had shown where
he %(SumEcr( had mistatcd any fact
bearing OH the conduct of Mr.. Grant
us the chief magistrate of the nation.
During the coming campaign we will
hear n great deal about the soldiers,
but the less said abont them the bet
ter. Never i'll the history Of the Uni
ted States we're they treated more
shabbllv i'll the distribution of offices
than by Gen. Grant; eve were there
Il fewer number, in proportion to the
Offices i'll the gift Of the president,
holding federal positions. The Amer

Mississippi t%lotilla did gallant service,
who was brought from China to take
charge of bureau of the navy de-
department in violation Ofthc usaycs
and rules of that brancl, of the public
service, in 1869. No MAJ bearing the
distinction of 4 General in the United
States army has even nurscd hostility
toward brother officers with the same
intensity as Gen. Grant. Every one
of them who aided him to keep his
place as Il Major General of vulun-
tecrs has been hated by him most
cordially. The m%alcvolencc of Grant
towards Thomas. l;oscrrans, Ham
