CHARLESTON, S. c., July 23.-The Ne,cs and
Courier i'm its Grant editorial says: Happy he
was in one sense in the time of his death;
had his life ended but a few years since the
mourning for the great leaderNwould have been
more or less sectional in its manifestation.
Dying as he now dies the grief is As widespread
as the Union, and the sorrow is as national as
ms lame; Only little while ago Gen; Grant
days he the foremost citizen of these
United States, of north and south alike. No
where was the discriminating regard for him
more tender than i'm the states which used To be
described as lately in rebellion The country
is reunited in spirit as in word, and the sue
cesstul generalisSimo of the Union forces is
mourned by south and north together. Ii
needed one thing To give him the semblance of
content. 1t needed solemn declaration Of
confidence in him as a soldier, and OF admira-
ton OF him as such. This acknowledgment,
which had been denied him again and again
while the waves of misfortune were yet at his
feet, was accorded him by the voice of north
and south alike when the dark waters rose TO
his lips. 1t was as general OF the armies of the
joyous and honorable remembrance by the
north. And by the act of north and south alike
States. BY this act the whole distance between
1865 and 1855 was bridged over. The north
had no thought save of the man of Appomattox,
and the south had no thought save of him who
told the worn and ragged confederate
soldiers of Lees army that they must
take their horses home with them, as they
and who threw his solderly honor
into the scale when Andrew Johnson was hesi-
tating whether he should, by arresting Gen. Il.
+. Lee, violate the terms of the confederate
surrender, and the sanctity OF the parole.
There is SO much in Gen. Grants career that is
pleasant to remember. Why should any one
seek further his frailties to disclose? Long ago
in a message to the people of the United States
he used words which seemed mockery.
There was then peace which vas worse than
war; but peace has come at last. There is peace
throughout the land, peace in the north and
peace in the south. The country Is one
again in heart and thought and hope. The
great soldier who laid in blood the foundation
of this second and more enduring Union is now
at rest
''Lct us have peace, he said years agone, and
peace his people have. In their hearts and
minds, in this time of peace, there is naught
but regard and regret for him for whom strife
and disquiet are no more. The good will OF all,

place OF his burial, Gen. Grant, month ago,
indicated three places as suitinc his wishes ia

lily that the burial should take place
In Washington. Efforts have also been
put forth to make New York the last
resting place of the general. Before his death,
however. Gen. Grant lett the choice of burial
spot entirely to Col. Fred Grant, imposing only
