GENERAL GRANT.

There is bill ON the calendar Of the
House proposing to place General Grant
on the Retired List OF the Army with
the same rank that he would have held
had be not been called from military
service to the Office of President. The
Senate passed the bill at the last ses-
sion, and We trust that the House, on
re-assembling after the holidays, will
concur in its enactment, promptly, cor
daily, aud if possible We would fam say
unanimously.
Whatever differences of opinion may
exist as to the wisdom or unWisdon Of
his ceWrse as President, all men
of all parties will agree that dur
iGg the war General Grant rendered TO
/ his country services of inestimable value
- services deserving every honorable
recognition from the Government of the
Union he aided so greatly in saving.
In the public opinion of the generation
now living, and in the judgment of i'm
partial history yet tc be written, FIVE
men attained rank of merit for gener-
alship above apd beyond the great host
of heroic commanders who battled
against the Rebellion. Of these, Thorn
as and Meade sleep in honored graves
Sherman Is alone to 60 on the Retired list
with the full rank and pay of General
Sheridan will in a short time assume
command of the Army with the rank of
LieuteHaut-General, which is to be his
for life. It is not altogether a pleasant
