The canal he thinks would prove a

San Juan river, which now carries It's water

AMONGST the votes in the Senate re-
corded against the bill retiring Genera
Grant to the retired list of the army
is found that Of Senator Salisbury OF
our own State. The greater number ot
Southern mem bers acted in a magnar i
nous manner, but Salisbury could 1 OF
forget that Grant led the army that
crushed the rebellion and he could moi
forgive him. Ii he had had the courage
TO have entered the Southern army
where his inclinations led him and had
he gone through that bloody conflict
like brave Southern Generals who were
more magnanimous, he might have fel,
in q more forgiving mood. Even Sena
tor Bayard arose above partisanshiE
and sectional feeling and did himself
honor by voting relief to the upfortu
nate hero Of Appomsttox. What a
pity it is that States and communities
have to be weighted down by men Of
small calibre who can never arise above
self and party.
