larger than his Congressional district, and

hear them both acknowledge this fact.
While Foster can only parrot-hke repeat
the stale old platitudes that he has beard

Said Gen. Grant to the ex-confederates
at San Francisco: IL affords me great
satisfaction and pleasure to receive the
gentlemen who were long ago opposed to
us" What Gen. Sherman said to the ex-
confederates Of Salisbury, n G, was
pitched to quite different key. the plain
English of it being this: You are all
set of nfernal rebels. and | don't want to
see you; neither do intend to do so, and
you bad no business to invite me-" The
moral OF it all is that Grant understands
his own business good deal better than
William Tecumseh does his brother Johns.
