lngton special says Hon. Etihu Il. Washbult,
WHO Is summering on the Eastern coast, has
recently received a letter from General Grant
saying that those who expect him upon his
return to the United Staies to enter into a
Presidential campaign will he greatly mis-
takes. lie says that in his presidential term
OF eight years he has received whatever honor
attaches to the position and that he does not
desire to be President again and does not
conceive Of any possible circumstances which
could induce him to consent to become
candidate. Still while all this is true he adds
that it it should happen at any time that the
Republican party should need him for any
pui pose he would not fail tn respond. The
Tribune in an editorial founded on this infOr-
nation and OH previous authenticated St e.
ments by Rear Admiral Ammen declaring
substantially the same Thing and affirming
that General Grant has expressed a willing
ness to accept the the presidency of the Inter-
Ocean Canal Co., says this decision of Gen.
Grant not to re-enter public life is not surprs-
ing. He is now the 'Great Undefeated." "A
campaign for third term might hand his
name down TO posterity as the :" Great De-
fealed." 1t is no reflection upon his past
services to say that this positive declination
relieves the next presidential campaign Of a
serious embarrassment. His name was a dis
turbing element and was destined to produce
y
clear field for the most promising candidate.
