"HIs SINCERITY CANNOT BE QUESTIONED. y
From the Buffalo Courier. July ~.


In General Grants conversations with the HERALD
interviewer he referred TO his st. Domingo anncxa-
ton scheme AS he first broachcd this favorte pro-
ject in his second annual message and could lot
fain from referring to even In his eighth and last
annual document OF the same kind q tow months be-
fore he retired from Office, his sincerity in this mat
tor cannot possibly be questioned. He was unques-
tionably convinced that the scheme would greatly
be ne1t the country. That thcrs could be men as
sincerely and earnestly thought that the annexation
OF the islandfor Hayti would soon have shared the
fate Of st Domingo-would be public calamity, IS
beyond the ex-Presidonps comprehension. He refers

From the Louisville Courier Journal July 2e.1
Grants observations about tho battle OF shiloh,
which we PRINT this morning, do not colnc eide with
the opinions of otnor military men on both sides.
Grant was a whipped man at shIlon and Bue's com.

WISER THAN HE WAS !"

From the Syracuse Courier, July 81
That was a very modest pretty little speech Grant

he claimed the Presidency personal perquisite
