of the government Rather rough
on such little fellows rs Washington,
Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, Clay,
Webster, and the rest of our ancient
heroes. Those whose knowledge of
true greatness has heretofore been in
complete, have only TO study the char
acters and conduct of Grant and
Conkling TO get all the information
they require. 1t is especially fortunate
that the two greatest men on earth at
the present time, if not at any time
should so thoroughly appreciate each
other, and so vigorously blow each
ether's horn. Our public schools should
avail themselves of this unprecedent-
ed opportunity to direct the aspiring
genius of the rising generation in the
right channel.-St. Louis Republican.

According to the reverend befoulcr,
Fowler, Grant said this:
.' He DnancocE did not select the battle
ground aa his dispatch TO Gen. Meade
shows. and thought Of rttiling from Gem
ctcry Ridge, when SIocum came up and
superseded him in Command
IN reply TO which Gen, Slocum SAID
to a Cincinnati reporter this:
" If Gen. Grant aid what Fowler says he
did, Ar /, il liar. For ! WAS there and |
Know. heard II4ntoak say: This is the
spot TO make the Iigt Land here We will make
it not only saw Hancock at that place, but
! stood there and heard him choose the spot,
ami had confidence enough in his general
ship not to interfere.
In speech made in Indiana n few
days before the publication of the
Grnnt-FOwler story. Gen. Slocum had
occasion to sit down on another rev.
crend gentleman named Burges4,
who has published similar false
hood in regard to Hancock at Gettys-
burg. Slocum said in substance that
Gen. Meade doubted The ability of the
Union army 10 make stand at
that point; that he sent Hancock to
the front to see the SituatlonO Of affairs
and act according to his best judg-
ment: that Hancock saw the strate-
gtCal advantage OF Cemetery Hill and
occupied it with his division; that he
(Sl0cuml coming upon the field as the
ranking officer, WAS consulted by
Hancock and indOrsed his decision TO
make the fight there, on the very spot
which Hancock selected, Gen. Slo-
cum is therefore entirely justified in
using the emphatic language he did at
Cincinnati in regard to Grants state
ment
Now that Gettysburg and its affairs
nave thus been revived, it will be in
order, we think, for the son of Gen.
Meade to republish his account of
Grants treatment of his father; treat
ment which shadowed and sadden-
ed the last years of soldier rs brave
and patriotic as he was modest and un-
selfish sending him to n premature
grave harassed by the recolections Of
public ingTatitude and private treach-
cry. We do not suppose Mr.. Meade
will care to repeat this chapter of fam
lily history, but it can neither be for
gotten nor ignored and those who re-
member, will not wonder that Grant,
having done what he did to the gen
eral who commanded at Gettysburg,
could do what he has done to the gen
cral who won that decisive battlc.-St.

THE Philadelphia Times does not
credit the report Of the interview be-
tween Grant and DIR. Fowler, wherein
the former undertook to defame Gen
Hancock. Gen. Grant," says the
Times, "has never yet been taken for a
lunatic. but il he talks as the inter
viewer of the Gazette represents, it is
time for his friends TO look after him. T"
But Grant did talk that way, his ex-
planation only proving the truth Of
the original report, and we think with
the Times, that his friends ought to
have taken better care Of him.
