TOOMBS' OPINION OF GRANT.-In an Inter
view Gen. Robert Toombs said: ''Gen. Grant
Gen. Lee was o very good engineer. man Of
fine family, but no man to head an army. Gen.
Grant was simple-minded and honest, and had
no more luminosity toward the south than to-
ward the north. Being West Point graduate
II was profession with him. JeH Davis was
the wrong man for the confederate presidency.
1t should have been Albert Sidney Johnston or
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. The south was
thrOttled by Davis West Point ideas"

FLAGS AT HALF MAST.
Salt Lake City's Mormon Officials Nearl.
Cause Riot.

Cause Riot.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, July 4.--When the
sun rose this morning the national flag
hung at half-mast on the City Hall, Coun-
ty Court House, Net0S office, Mormon
Tabernacle Church, John Taylor's resi-
denco, the Cerro Gordo House, the
Mormon Church offices and the Salt
Lake Theatre. About noon a
committee composed of United States
Marshal Ireland, Q. l.. Haines, Maj.
Wilkes and Capt. Evans, the last two
named beng eX-COniederates, went to the
City Hall to find out the reason. City
Marshal Phillips said that it was the re-
suit or his personal whim.
ON THE VERGE or BLOODsHED.
The committee demanded that the flags
be raised TO full mast, which demand was
met with refusal. Capt. Evans started
out to raise it himself. The dOOf was
locked by a policeman before he reached
it. All present, including some dozen
police officers, made a rush for Evans.
Quiet was finally restored, and the city
officials said that the Fourth
OF July was a day Of
mourning to them and ''this people"
whose best men were in the penitentiary
by virtue of Federal persecution OF all
mated that any man who undertook to
disturb the flag would be shot. In con-
sultation with the United States Marshal,
the City Marshal agreed either to raise it
to full mast or take it down within thirty
minutes.
JEERING AT THE FLAG.
In less than 80 minutes the flag was run
down amid the jeers of the city officials.
A Grand Army Republic post, which was
celebrating near the city. was informed
of the difficulty, and came in after pass
ing resolutions to run the flags to their
proper places, but met a crowd of citizens
at the Walker House. The crowd
wanted to go and by force
put the flags where they be-
longed, but the counsel of Gov. Murray
prevailed. Finally committee of five
was sent to demand OF the Mayor that it
should be done and in a few minutes the
flag at the City Hall was run up to the
masthead. The citizens committee made
the same demand on Sheriff Groesdeck
aad hoisted the flag at the county court
house to fun mast. 1t has leaked out
that an order to thus insult the nation at
large and the government Of the United
States came direct from the head of the
Church.

no writing beyond conversational notes
with the doctors, his family and Senor

Joseph W. DreXel, who were among the
callers at the cottage. DR.. Sands left for

handed 10 DR.. Douglas: "I have been
getting along very well to-day" The
GeneraPs bulletin fairly ep'tomized the
