After the adjournment Of the Conven
ton there we're loud calls for G. lionel j

suffering from indisposition, made F.;
most eloquent and humorous speech
Judge Guild was called Tor, and com
ing forward he said that the latest new.
was the latest. gift which Ulysses S
Grant had received, the degree of L. J.
D., bestowed by Harvard University-sc
that be was now DR.. Grant, rs The lar
title always prevails. Yet, whatever else
Grant might know the speaker could
personally testify that he Grant) knew
very little of law, and that be could moi
even write decent English. This knowl-
edge had been acquired ty six months
correspondence with Grant, under his owl
hand, in the latter part OF the war, anC
| the subject of the correspondence was the
exchange of prisoners. Grant was res
ponsible. and solely responsible for the
noa-exchango of prisoners during thu
last six mon his of the war, and upor
him rested the reproach and criminalitJ
that Federal soldiers during that perioe
lapguisbed and died in Southern prisons
and that Confederate soldiers languishee
and died in Northern ones. Grant avow
ed that he would not exchange, because. IA
he alleged in his wretched English, to d.
SO would recruit the Southern army, en-
danger Sherman, and render it doubtful
; whether he could hold his position at Pc
tersburg. Judge Ould then spoke of thu
nobleness Of Horace Greeley, and hov
the sympathy which he had extended tt
us in our time of trouble should knit al
Southern hearts to him.e
