Committee % July Is, 1857, Just prior
to the impesehnent Of President John

say: Ii is astonishing that among all
the wise men OF the East, among all
those 50 busy writing history, not one
should remember that General Grant

asserts that in his public speeches when
swinging around the circle, President
johnson did susposs . case, and then
ask which would be the legal Congress.
and he denies that he said even this
much to General Grant in private.
