CE\ER GRANT

WASHINGTON. August 2S.-Lettefs
received from Gen. Grant contain no
reference to the Nicaraguan Canal presi-
dencv. which Admiral Ammen says he
has accepted. The Admiral is quoted
as saving that he communicated with
Grant on his return from the Paris con-
ference. In his letter he enclosed one
70 himself from a prominent Republican
expressing his av trsion to Gen. Grant
having any thing to do with the projee-
ted canal. and suggesting that he should
hold himself ready TO promote the in
terests of the Republican party. The
other was . reply of Admiral Ammen
to this letter. in which he said, Il think
that Gen. Grants past services a. mil
iiary man and President of the [ nited
STATES for eight years exempt him from
any further demands upon his time by
the public for life, and leave him free
agent to act on whatever demand might
be made by any enterprise asking his
services 1t is this that Gen. Grant
has approved. and he promptly endorses
the letter of his friend Ammen, and au-
thorizcs him to say that bis engage
ments are closed, and that he must not
be considered candidate for any polit-
zeal Office in the United States.
