Of politics and statesmanship.-
But there is no need to dwell on
tins chapter -of General Grants
life. AS we judge mon he seems
TO have been marked out for the
one great service of crushing the
Rebellion. The rest Of his life is
as nothing. He used the means
at his command on a plain and
simple theory, and its wisdom
WAS yindicated by the result
The best test of success is sue
cess. He we'll understood the
enemy he contended with, tLeir
earnestness and courage.
lie knew the weakness of the
South and the strength Of the
North, and that the one way to
end the war was 10 envelope the
rebel armies by superior numbers
and crush them out of existence,
or what was equivalent, exhaust
their fighting power. One of his
prominent qualities was that he
knew where to lay his hands on
lieutenants to second his purpose,
and was quick TO detect and weed
out incapacity. Of course he
may often have been unjust but
the times required promptness
and decision action according
to the best lights before him on
the instant, and not investlga-
| tion. The bloody work at the
Virginia battles to gain the base
Mcclellan held is urged to dis
-redit his generalship: but it mat
tered little III the Grant plan of
wearing out the enemy, whether
he lost three men to disable one
Confederate in the Wilderness or
at the gates of Richmond. The
rebel army was the thing to be
disposed of, and in the one way !;
not by strategy but by knowing
on their lines" as he said at Don
elson.
The people of the country will
sincerely mourn his death. The
bitterness of partisan and sec
tional strife has passed from his
memory. and sympathy is uni-
| versal for the clouds that gath
cred about his closing years. In
the South his memory, and
achievement will be honcred,
while at the North a deeper sense
of grief will pervade all public
expression. A great figure III
American history has passed
away. His name will always be
foremost in our annals as one to
whose services coming genera
tons will owe the integrity and

al Of the matters of this / il
formed You at our meeting III
New York. This course, just and
right under all circumstances, is
cumpuisory upon the Govern
ment in the present case. The
very liberia! treatment which the
contractor has heretofore receiv-
ed, has left the Government with
out sufficient margin Of moneys
reserved to enable it to protect
itself in the present situation.
The contract provided that ten
per cent should be retained from
the bills as tllev became due and
held us security for the compile
ton OF the work. At the present
time those reservations would
have amounted to s210.71O. They
have been surrendered to the
contractor under circumstances
not import rtant to consider now
with the exception of s26.670.-
In addition to this small sum Of
$26,6 in onr hands, there are
unpaid bills for extras claimed
on the ships amounting to $26,-
6SS and dispute on the. Dolphin
s29, ,945. Altogether (mostly in
dispnte) $500 AS against this,
four Ships are in vonr hands, up
on which over two millions have
been paid, which must be COM
ple:ed to be valuable, liable to
greater deterioration by neglect
than all the moneys unpaid and
in dispute would repay. 1t is of
the utmost consequence to the
Government as it is to yourselves
that a just settlement of past
transactions should be had and a
new departure made.
! suggest as a practical method
of arriving at solution of the
matter, a meeting of yourselves
and your counsel with the Attor-
ney General and myself, at which
some practical method of dealing
with the subject may be arrived
at which shall be within my le-
gal authority.

the foot of the bed stood Mrs. U. S. Grant,
jr., and by her side Mrs. Col Fred Grant
and Mrs. Jesse Grant. These three gael
down into the face OF the general, while
their eyes became suifused with tears. The
sad expression in their faces pliainy reflected
the anguish Of their feelings. Now and then
they stole glance a5 Mrs. CIR ant, who with
bowed head was intently watching the face
Of her dying husband, and no word was
spoken. The stiffness of the room added to
the impres,iyeness of the sad scene.
