day. The General was very indignant at
the lack of attention which he experienced
from the Court, and no doubt will nurse
his wrath to keep 1t warm, under the i'm.
preston that he has o good and honest
grievance. Hc will say with truth that
he went to call on Moltke, whose rank
corresponds with his own, on the very
day Of his arrival; that Moltke did notre-
turn his visit for three or four days; that
Bancroft, the American Envoy, notified
the Emperor's aid, Gen, schevortzkappen,
that Sherman would be happy to pay his
respects to the Emperor; that Sherman
called promptly on schevortzkappen on
the day OF his arrival and expressed a
desire to see the Emperor; that he never
pretended that he had no Uniform, though
on this visit he was in civilians dress and
that TO these announcements Bancroft
sent a reply to the following el.

objection to receive Sherman. Ban.

the privilege on such terms, am told

American Government, which supplied
