WASHINGTON, April 10.-Gen. Dent brother
in lazy OF Gen. Grant, who has returned hera
from New York, is reported as saying thet the
Grant family have become reconci.ed to the
fact that the General cannot recover. Before
leaving the sick room the attending physician
permitted Gen. Dent to see Con Grants
throat, by means of a reflector. He says the
cancer has made greater progress than any one
who has not seen it can imagine. An artery
ia the throat must certainly give way soon, and
then there is nothing to prevent the General
from dying. Notwithstanding all his suffer-
ing, Gen. Grant is perfectly resigned to his
fate and is prepared to die,'' remarked Gen.
Dent, He is as calm and self-possessed to-
day as he was at the battle of the Wilderness"
