Vicksburg Herald, 6th.l
Vicksburg has acted gracefully in
inviting General Grant to partake Of
her hospitality. He is an ex president
and he has a worldwide reputation as
a soldier. Most southern men, who.
like the writer of this, served in the
confederate army. believe that there
were more skillful and able soldiers
on the southern side, or at the least,
equal in every respect to Grant as a
commander of large forces. We have
little doubt that a vast majority Of
southern soldiers believe that Lee was
an ADLER general, and it is no disre-
spect to Grant to say that it is quite
possible those generals whom Lee
defeated share this opinion with
the southerners. The southern SOL
diers always did believe, and always
will believe, that if Lee had possessed
equal resources and equal numbers, he
would have crushed Grant army and
ended the war by cutting the south
from the union. But Lee did not
have the men and the means, and the
union army under Grant restored the
union. 1t is too late for southern
men to repine and play the IF" game
now. They appealed to the sword
and made a struggle that for bravery,
endurance and skill, all true Ameri-
cans will always look back to with
pride. 1t would be as much
folly now for us in this
time Of peace and prosperity, to
harbor bitterness against the union
or its great generals, as it would be
for an Englishman to hate or revere
his fellow citizen according to the
color Of the rose his ancestors fought
under. As American citizens We
should honor and entertain a great
American general and ex-president
We are rejoiced that the two largesI
cities in Louisiana and Mississippi.
feel it a pleasure to thus regard Gen.
eral Grant.
While this is the case, it does not fol
low that our action can or will be mis-
construed. We have stated truly why
General Grant has been invited {,
visit us, and the whole reason why i
will be a pleasure to US to entertain
him. Politics has not the remotes
connection with it, and we are sure W,
only do General Grant simple justic,
when we say he accepted the invita-
ton to visit our historic city with tn,
same grace and delicacy it was extend
ed, prizing it none the less because i
came from citizens, a large portion o
whom he knows to be politically op
posed to him. During the visit o
those of our citizens who were depu
tized to ask the general to Vicksburg
it was made manifest he would no
have stopped here except in respoDs,
to a pressing invitation, for he would
not have permitted it to be possibl,
for anyone to misconstrue his visit t.
a southern city where he had captured
a southern army.

Judge John Rice was a very violent
secessionist, and in a speech urging
secession said, why, the Yankees !
If they show fight We can whip them
with pop,gunsP A short time after
the war Judge Rice was making a
speech at the same cross roads where
he had made his Boosting speech be-
fore the war. One of the audience
asked him if he was not the same

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The able
and distinguished representative of
the Toledo district said to day that
Thurman was his choice if he could
be nominated, but if he had no show,
then 0hio's vote, he thought, would
be cast for Tilden. MI. Hurd also
expressed himself as being satisfied
with the names of either Payne or
Jewett, but thought that they we're
not as available as Tilden. The
strong point in Tilden's favor he
thinks to be the fact that the people
believe he was swindled out Of the
election in 1876, and should have
another chance to redeem himself. 1t
is we'll known that Hurd is fixed on
al one Of the delegates at large to the
national convention, and also that he
is a candidate for chairman of the del.
egation. Ifhe should be chosen to
the position aud see fit to throw his
influence in favor of Tilden and leave
Thurman or Jewett, it will be a prom.
inent factor in determining the result
Gifts deliberations One thing is sure,
he is at heart for Tilden.

There is no essential change in the
money market. Like other branches
of business, it is quiet in all lines.
Currency is in good supply, with dis
counts in demand at 8 per cent for
approved paper, or on undoubted col
laterals. Outside of the usual mon
etary channels loans range from
6 to 10 per cent. Exchange
is steady, at $1.25 per thousand
on eastern cotton bills carrying no
grace, and 50 so per thousand
for sight bills on points beyond New
York. New Orleans bills are to dis
count buying, and selling at par.
Checks on the east are sold at ic
premium.

Nashville and Chattanooga sold at 79i
