Grams Makes Another Speech.
VANCOUVER, October 14-The
steamer st. Paul, with Grant and
party, arrived here at 5:43 last eve
ming. The Governor of Washing
ton Territory and members of the
Legislature called upon the Gener-
al, and In reply to speech of well
come from the Governor, Grant
said:
81 regret exceedingly that shall
not be able to remain long enough
to visit any other portion of the
Territory. 1 had expected to spend
several weeks on the Pacific Coast,
but the reunion of the Army of the
Tennessee, which | commanded
during the late unpleasantness, was
postponed for my return, and
have promised to meet them. They
did not fix day until l promised
TO be with them early in Novem-
Der. That, with other appoint
ments, compels me to leave not
later than the 18th. You can east
ly see the impossibility of my &C.
cepting the invitation. Your state
ment of the producing qualities Of
the Territory surprises and graft
on which L now stand, but never
visited that portion of which yor
speak. ! always supposed thai
while part was productive, thai
the greater part was too unproduct
i've, except of fish and lumber, t.
justify enough population to MAKE
State, unless there should b.
some mineral development. From
your statement have no doubt o
your soon becoming n State, anC
we can't have too many in thi
latitude.n
