THE CRITIC CRITICISED.

The Comments Upon Grants Criticisms
of tie Mea and Measures Of the Var.
General Grants opinions of the dead
Generals Lee and jackson, as reported. if
not manufactured, by John Russell Young,
are calling forth deal of hot criticisms in
military circles here. Officers who went
with Grant from the Rapidan to Richm ond
say they do not believe General Grant ever
said he was mot anxious when Lee was in
front of him. because it was
too foolish a thing to say, and,
would be SO palpable faIsehood
that it would deceive no one. Of course.
the confederate officers are highly indignant
The curious part of it is that it has induced
some Republicans who were very prominent
under Grant, and who are known to be in
his confidence, to assert that Grants enemies
in his own party, or, rather, his rivals, are
at the bottom of all this new Grant move
ment, and that all this premature
working up of his candidacy Is
for the purpose of drawing from him
a positive refusal to run, or. that
failing, of killing him off early in the fight,
and so getting him out of the way of Others
who want the next Republican nomination
It transpires that Grants sudden and sur
prising volubility is merely revelation.
and not an acquisition. A member of his
cabinet is authority for the assertion that
all the while the country was calling Grant
sphinx he was really very superior con-
versationalist. 'sWhy,'' said my in
formant, the cabinet officer aforesaid, .'we
who were in Gen. Grants conf
dence know that he was very entertaining
| conversationalst. AT the cabinet meetings,
when there was not much to do and we are
sitting around for an hour or two. General
Grant could talk as we'll as anybody. In
deed he was a very entertaining talker. He
would run on, mainly giving army reminis-
censes, and we would sit and listen to him
by the hour. There is no question about it
General Grant is o very entertaining taiker
when he has a mind TO be. 1t was only
when he was in public, in the presence OF
people he did not know and trust, that he
would not talk. Then he was dumb as an
oyster" In answer to query as to whether
Grant would run again, his ex-cabinet Officer
said: ssWell, don't know, Of course, what
he will do OF what he will not do, but l dc
know that if he will consent to run again il
will be with the greatest reluctance. Then
after moment, he added: eff l were il
