Lees sword nt ais Surrender.

The Richmond Dispatch, of Saturday,
contains the following communication
MEssR5 EDITORS Il am sorry that
YOU allow to pass unchallenged the item
in your paper OF this morning from the
Bangor (Me.) Wing about Grants mag
nanimity in declining to receive Lees
sword, etc. Several years ago you pup
lished letter from your correspondent,
f'Viator," giving Gen. Lees own account
of the surrender, in which he denied most
emphatically that he ever rendered his
sword to Gen Grant, or any idea OF do
ing so. In personal "reminiscences OF
Lee" there is also full statement OF
Gen. Lees own account of the surrender,
the following extract from which settles
the question: "Gen. Lee said that when
he met Gen. Grant they exchanged polite
| mutations, and he stated to him at once
that he desired conference In references
to the subject matter Of their c)rrespond-
ence." Gen. Grant returned you your
sword, did he rot, General| one OF the
COMPANY asked. The Old hero, straight
ening himself up, replied in most emphat,,
ic tones: NO, sir he did not. lie had
no opportunity of doing so. L was deter
mined that the side-arGs of the oftlcer'
should be exempt 10y the terms OF the
surrender, and of course l did not oftei
him mine All that was SAID about
swords was that Gen. Grant Apologies
to me for not wearing his own sword
SAVING that it had gone off in his baggage
and he had been unable to get 1t IN time
This spoils a great deal of rhetoric abou
Grants magnanimity in returning Lee
sword and renders as absurd as 1t L
false the attempt of Northern artists t
nut the scene on canvass or into statuary
Even Gen. Grants connivanee at TINS SC
called historic scene will not g save !
: when the world knows that Il. f. Le
| said that nothing of the sort occurred;
Y The sword scene, the "historlc ,aPPl
: tree" etc, are mere inventions OF arm
correspondents, which so p lease the fanc
of the "saviors of the Union that the
r are being constantly repeated. Grant
e terms we're magnanimols; but ne kne'
