From the Boston Post
a |ost reporter happened last
evening to run across Crvil L..
Grant, tho X-Presi,lcnt's somewhat
celebrated brother, who is spcndinga u
Tow days in this city. Mr.. Grant TO-
sombles his brother to IL great ex-
tent, although he is taller and of
better physique; but he is unlike
him in that he talks freely on
current topics. The third-torm
question being urpcrmost III the
reporters mind, he vcnturcd to ask
Mr.. Grants OPINION on that vcyeI
topic. In reply inc WAS Informed
that tho General has written to
friends horo that he would on no
account aaccp5 Il II on2 ;a.tion for tho
Presidency. "iIc docs not want it,"
sud Orvil And then he added {:
'bat L think he could lie educated
up to it rs nc WAS once before. IF
he could DO made to believe that he
WAS the only nun able to save tho
country or purity, he would, J. think,
allow his name to be used in tho
convention. I think, somehow. tl:at
they will nominate him but that's
only my own opinion.' a. dofcat
would skill" tle G5ryral, AIr. Grant
thinks, but he u. S. would risk it
If ne thought it possible to s1vo the
party.
Tho conversation then turned on
fragrant memories of the last Al,
ministratlon, and MIR. Grant was
induced to SLY that his brother saw
some things now that he could not
DC madc to see BEFORE" In Other
words, he now sees Babcock in his
truc light, and would never give
him any more DID or comfort. SO,
too, Mcdonald, Joyce unl chose
follows" would, if the General be-
came Prcsidontasain soc left to 60
to the dovil." Somo of his old ad-
visers would be recalled, among
whom, if the General agrees with
his brother, would be ZacE. Chandler,
as Orvil considers him conc Of tho
best men We have The reporter,
having touched on one tender sub,
jcct, and bcCn answered, vcntUrcd
TO call up tho post leadership busi-
ness, in which, as the country wcll
knows, tho cx-Prcsident's brother
has been largely involved. Orvil
was rs willing to talk ol. this, as on
other subjects, and proceeded to
show q letter which no had Just re-
cclVcd from ono of his partners in
the business, il which the partner
expressed Il great doairo TO get out
OF 1t as soon as possible. Mr.. Gran /
ayerrcd that it was not o. raying
business now, although it was once.
He has, ho said, two posts, and his
income from them has been only
SlO0 III two years. "I mado some
little money out Of them" he sai6 !:
"but my brother never helped NO to
q cent, although tho fact that I was
the Presidents brother may have
Ielpcd mo with some people,"
Revcrting to the General, tho
reporter inquired how much he
was worth in q financial point of
view, and was informed that at tho
time tho Consolidated Viz
ginia stock was high his property
was valued at about 100000; but
now that tho stock has dopreciated
ne is comparatively poor" 'But
then, you know" continued Mr..
Grant, she received some valuable
presents-that house in Washinc-
ton, for instance" Tho house has
been sold, but tho General will,
when ho returns in the autumn of
1879, mako Washington lis homo,
provided he can afford it. It seem
eel, however, doubtful, in his broth
or's opinion, whothor the Goncral
would bo able to 1.-Two without en-
gaging in some business. 'Jt would
be, he said, "a great humiliation to
him to havc to do that--alLhougl
he has only himself and wife to tako
care Of tor his youngest son is old
enough to shift for himsolD but ho
has high ideas Of living, and would
not be content with q moderate in
