HOUSE WHERE GEN. GRANT WAS BORN.
Soon afterwards, on the 22d Of August, 1846,
he married Miss Julia Dent, q daughter of q
merchant OF st. Louis. After q short furlough
he rejoined his regiment at Sackett's harbor,
New York. Soon afterwards Grants regiment
was sent to California, and Grant was subse-
quently sent with a battalion TO Fort Dallas,
Oregon. Tir1ng Of the dull routine Of military
life at frontier post, and discouraged by the
little chance that then offered Of prelerment or
mission Of captain, which he had received In
1888. He settled down with his wife on little
father. Grant's military life, and dfteen years
Of military service, had entirely united him
ior bustness, md his farming does not appear

wood IN winter into Carondelet, and cold

A MARYLAND MAN TO PRESIDE OVER THE CON-
TRACT DEPARTMENT OF THE POST OFFICE.
Mr.. A. Leo Knott, who was to-day nominated
as second assistant postmaster general is q ma
tive Of Frederick county, Nd, born at New
Market in 1929, educated at st. Mary's college,
Baltimore, where he was teacher of Greek and
mathematics in his early manhood. He studied
law in the office of the late VIM. Schley, and
was for a time the principal of the Latin school
tn Howard county. He entered upon the prac-
tice Of the law in Baltimore in 1856, and three
years afterwards began to take an active part
In politics. In 1864, when the state was COM
pletely under republican rule, Mr. Knott was
one OF the democrats who actively essayed the
reorganization of the democratic party. He
was a candidate the same year for Congress, and
was defeated by Gen. Charles E. Phelps. Mr..
Knott was subsequently elected to the legisla-
ture, WHARF he served with distinction. For
three terms, from 1867 to 1879, he was elected
states attorney Of Baltimore city. He took an
active part in the last Presidential campaign.
The appointment of Mr.. Knott is the work of
Representative Cole, of the second Maryland

FAR GREATER THAN PEOPLE
THOUGHT.
What Gen. Sheridan Says or the Here
Of AppOmattOX.

Gen. Sheridan turned around quickly In his
chair as a STAR reporter entered his Office. He
eyed the reporter keenly, as is his custom, for
he doesn't like to have reporters about him. n
he can help it. As THE STAR man asked about
his relations with Gen. Grant, however, his
face softened, and he replied: az saw Gen.
Grant for the first time on the battlefield ~
Shiloh. Gen. Mcpherson, whose picture hangs
there, was with him at the time. Although we
had belonged to the same regiment We had
never met before. After the Mississippl
campaign I met Gen.. Grant q second
time. and afterwards i was thrown In
with him more or less When he became lieu,
tenant general he placed me In charge OF thk
cavalry service OF the Army Of the Potomac
accompanied him to Florida and TO Mexic6
and will say that our acquaintance was not onlJ
intimate, but almost lovable."
"And your opinion Of him?" suggested tho
reporter.
"Is that he was a far greater man than peoplo
thought him. He was always able no matter
how situated, to do more than was expected az
him. That has always been my opinion %
Gen. Grant. 1 have the greatest admiraffo0
ior him, both as q man and as q commanded"

The RepubIican senators.
STILL UNCERTAIN AS TO THEIR ATTITUDE I
wARna THE pRRSTnENT

STILL UNCERTAIN AS TO THEIR ATTITUDE To-
WARDS THE PRESIDENT.
The republican Senators are divided as to
how they should act with relation to nomina-
tions which displace officials whose terms OF
Office have not expired. The matter was under
discussion in caucus yesterday afternoon, and
the opinion Is understood to have prevailed that
the President should be required to show cause
for removal before the successor would be nom-
mated. They were not unanimous in this, how.
ever, and the question was not definitely set
tied. There are number of Senators who think
1t would be better policy TO treat Cleveland Just
as they did Arthur, and make no new and sud-
den departure ffOm their custom. They are
strengthened In this by the apparent bad feel
ing fn the democratic party, and think they
may ind It their proper card to support the
President In everything In case the democratic
Senators get 30 mad as to openly oppose him.

DEEP INTEREST SHOWN HERE IN THE COND1.
TON OF GEN. GRANT.

Associated Press bulletins giving the condition
of Gen. Grant were read. The greatest interest
is manifested by all the Senators as to Gen.
Grants condition, and numerous inquiries
were made at the telegraph Office all during the
day.
The universal subject Of inquiry to-day in the
departments and throughout the city was the
latest Intelligence in regard to Gen. Grant,
Bulletins were posted up in conspicuous places
as fast as they came in, but these gave very
