HooKERs OPINION OF GRANT AND SHER.
MAN.-Here is what we find in the Brooklyn
Eagle, being part ola long interview, in
which fighting Joe Hooker gives his views of
men and things, Here is what be thinks Of
Sherman and Grant, IT, igqs- sfgal }
"What made General Sherman take such
malicious pains, ten years after the war was
over, and q sick, crippled man, to attack you
in his Memoirs with such deliberationP
"Oh Sherman is hard, cruel man q ty-
rant in the small He likes to be prodding
people and prosecuting the non-combatants.
He had 80 little discernment that he thought
abuse of me would pass with the country, but
the reception of it by the people mortified his
crazy mind. Probably he never did anything
that gave him so much selfish repentance." "a
"Do you ever see him, General Hooker ri,
II visited Washington, some tim,slagp, and
General Sherman called on me- d Said il:
Sherman, this is indeed queer. You, the gen
eral of the army, come to pee me who had no
idea of calling on you. Why, Sherman, I'm
sure we can't misunderstand each other. You
have spared no pains to publish your want of
appreciation of me, and think I have been

nervous and uncertain, and he is tormented
by consciousness that the American nation
has no confidence in his judgment, and would
not keep him where be is ID case Of general
danger. I regard him as responsible for the
Indian atrocities taking place this fall on the
plains. He possesses none of the magisterial,
assuaging, wise sense which control sayages
His errors in the rebellion went the full swing
of the pendulum, from gross military mis-
takes, such as the first expedition to Vieks.

"Yet, General, how do you account for
Grants preference for Sherman ?" y .1'

George Francis Trains. He can talk and

I think Grant the abler and better Of the two.
As President of the United States, however,
Grant was vulgar and incompetent"
