GEN. LEES SWORD
Not gTendered Grant at Appomattox-st State
ment from Gen. Early.

ment from Gen. Early.
Special to Globe.
RICHMOND, Va, March 29.-Gen. Jubal A.
Early has just written letter in which he
denies she story that Gen. Grant refused to
accept the sword of Gen. Robert E. Lee at
the surrender of the confederate army at
Appomattox court house. Gen. Esrly's letter
is called forth by a reference TO the statement
made recently in letter of coincidence and
sympathy addressed by the Lee camp Of con-
federate veterans of this city to Gen. Grant.
Gen. Early in his letter says: :''The factis that
Gen. Lees sword was never rendered to Gen.
Grant and the latter therefore had no oppor-
tunity to receive or return it after 1t had been
surrendered, but by the express terms of the
capituIation all officers Of Gen. Lees army
were to be allowed TO retain their side arms,
as well as their horses or other private prop
erty, and all couriers and mounted men Of
artillery and cavalry, whose horses were their
private property, were to be allowed TO retain
them. II was not, therefore, says Gen.
Early. TO Grants magnanimity that Gen.
Lee was indebted for the privilege of
retaining his sword or for the terms
granted to his army but to his own resolute
will and the anxiety Of Grant to obtain the
surrender Of an adversary who had thwarted
him so long. There is, then, about as little
truth in this story about Gen. Lees sword az
there is in the famous apple tree fiction. 1t
would seem that the time for Grant To dis
play his magnanimity toward the defeated
Confederates was when he occupied the pres
idency Of the United States for eight years.
How he then displayed it let impartial history

A CIergyman's Views

Among the guests at the Merchants hotel
yesterday was the Rev. D. N. Gordon, a
distinguished cersyman of Winnipeg, who
was interviewed by GLOBE reporter on the
status of the Riel rebellion, which is at pres
ent agitating the upper districts of Manitoba.
Responding to the inquiries, DR.. Gordon
said that in his opinion the outbreak would
be of short duration. The rebel Riel, he said,
had taken advantage OF a peculiar set Of
circumstances, and his present at
titnde was owing to the fact
of him and his small following
having been ignored by the government.
They had made their preparations quietly
and the only advantage they possessed was
that which followed from surprise.
DR.. Gordon then proceeded TO relate some
Of the causes or reasons leading to the out
break He said: ''For quite while past a
few mslcoutent half-breeds have expressed
dissatisfaction because of the unsettled con-
dition of their alleged claims. They held
that the title TO their claims was established
at the time of the settlement of a nun Der of
claims in Manitoba proper. The fact is that
a number Of half-breeds, mainly those en-
gagged in the insurrection, held claims in
Manitoba, and after establishing their rights
there they went weSt and endeavored to take
upnew or additional claims. This EN- barrsssed
the authorities, and the government had
taken a number of tracts of land thus
claimed under investigation, with the view
of course of sscertaining just how much the
claimants were entitled to receive. Pending
the investigation number of the half-breeds
became dissatisfied, and meanwhile Riel
stepped in and, taking advantage Of the sitr-
alton, he induced quite q contingency to
follow him. Knowing that there was a lack
of preparation on the part of the government
he awaited himself of the opportunity to
strike the blow.
His attempt to intimidate the government
has been met with force, and the incipient
rebellion will be of short duration, especially
as there is not the remotest likelihood of tie
Indians joining the rebels. Our policy with
the latter has been one of Cancellation and
they have been made to feel that the govern
ment was their patron aud always disposed
to deal out the amplest justice. With rare
exceptions the Indians are loyal, aud when
treated right they always give fair play"

we were all solid for Tilden. Mr.. Phelps
favored the nomination of Mr.. Bayard. In
1880 we voted every time for Hancock and
yet Mr.. Phelps was just as solid for Bayard.
In 1884, while Vermont was for Cleveland,
the voice of Mr.. Phelps was for Bayard. He
knew and appreciated him highly. Mr.. Bay
ard knew Mr.. Phelps as well, and seems to
have appreciated him as highly, and that is
doubtless the reason why the position was
rendered him.
''Then he was not candidate in any
sense?"
''In no sense whatever. He did not even
know why he was called to Washington.
We were all an xious to have the Italian mis-
sion rendered to him, as Vermont has had
that distinction in the person of Mr.. Marsh
for very many years, but when it was sug-
gested Mr.. Phelps positively declined the use
of his name. Undoubtedly he was greatly
surprised when offered so high place, and
could not bring himself to refuse. 1t is
one clear case of the Office seeking the man
and mot the man seeking the office.'

DISGRACEFUL DISTURBANCE.

Badly Sold.

Badly Sold.
Special TO the Globe.
Sioux CITY, Ia, March 29-An unusual
crowd was gathered at the Union railroad
station yesterday morning upon the arrival of
the Illinois Central train from the east. A
Sioux City brewer had received information
that J. S. Struble of Lemars, the member Of
congress for this district, was coming here to
institute proceedings against the saloons and
close them up. 1t was said that Struble
would arrive on the morning train.
Word was passed around among the
liquor men, and motley crowd was
gotten together to receive Mr.. Struble at
the train and tell him he must not carry
out his supposed intentions Two or three
hundred men were gathered at the station
when the train arrived, and many Of them
were excited and a number of them were
certainly armed. There was talk Of hanging
Mr.. Struble and braggart boasts Of all sorts.
As the passengers alighted from the train
they were carefully scanned, but no man
looking Just like Mr.. Struble appeared. The
angry crowd could hardly be persuaded that
the subject of their indign alton had not ar
! rived, and when assured that be was not
there they were much more violent in their
demonstrations than they we're when they
thought he probably had come. DR.. Bedford,
| a prominent Christian worker here, was at
the station with his carriage to receive some
clergymen who were on this train to assist at
the installation of the pastor of the Pilgrim
church, aud the Doctors presence was re-
garded as a suspicious circumstance by the
fanatical saloon men. Wild rumors were
started among them as to what the Doctors
business was. and to his amaZement num-
Der of the men started for his carriage, laid
hold of it, and for q time II seemed that
mischief would be done. The reception ac-
corded to the visiting clergymen was more
enthusiastic than they had anticipated, and
DR.. Bedford was more perplexed by reason
of the fact that the divines be had been del
egated to receive were personally strangers
to him. The doctor will probably be busy
to-day explaining that he is notso unpopular
in Sioux City on the whole as the event of
TO-DAY might lead his Christian friends to
appreneEst While this scene was going on
at the station in Sioux City Mr. strubIe was
busy in court at Lemars without q thought of
business engagement here Steps have
been taken within the past few days TO close
the saloons in Lemars, and they are now out
of business. Mr. Struble has had connee-
ton with I1e proceedings - izNE anu Out
of this fact the reports have sprung that he
was going TO make it his business to close
eyery saloon in this congressional district
The opinion quite generally prevails If be
had happened TO be on TIE train this morning
serious trouble would have ensued, so law
less and excited was the large majority Of the
crowd at the station. Great indignation is
expressed on the part of all good citizens q:

Virginia Disclaims Joe Johnston.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The mention of
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston for commissioner of
railroads has not sent thrill of satisfaction
through the bosom of every Virginian. The
fact is that the venerable ex-confederate gen.
eral will be Of no po ssible use to politicians
of that state in any Office TO which be might
be appointed. He was taken up years ago
as a candidate for congress from the Rich
mond district at time when it was thought
the political situation required the party
to run man OF character and
military record which he possessed Cir
cumstanees forced him upon the party as a
candidate and he was elected, but never did
a party have to work harder TO drag their
man through. He was utterly ignorant Of
political methods and throughout the cam
paign did nothing to help himself, because
he could not. In congress ne soon found
that he was not suited to political life, either
by tastes or training, and be was as glad to
withdraw from the field at the close Of his
term as politicians were to get rid of him.
Since that time the general has resided in
Washing gton. He has made II bis permanent
home because the social surroundings OF the
capital brought him into contact with the
army and navy element, so coDgenial TO
himself and family. and in which they are
popular and respected. The Virginians say
they would be pleased TO see the general ap-
pointed to Office, but they DO not want the
appointment charged to Virginia because
Gen. Johnston is not a citizen OF that state,
and II would be unfair to I'll up single one
of the neagre share Of federal Offices that
will be given her with persons who are not
citizens OF Virginia.

Mugwumps and Republicans Must Look
Out for 1t.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The admins
tration has evidently adopted the theory that
in all postofice vacancies the Democrats and
not Mugwumps or Republicans shall
be appointed. There have been
some test cases on this subject
within the last week. The principle is
specially emphasized in the case of Massa-
chusetts postoffice. The incumbent of the
postoffice is an Independent. He was ap-
pointed on the solicitation of President
Seelye, and his reappointment was urged by
President Seelye and Mr. George William
Curtis, but his head fell promptly into the
basket at the end of his official term, and a
staunch Democrat takes his place. The
postmaster at Geneva, N. Y, is another il
lustration of an Independent who got in the
way of
THE DEMOCRATIC GUILLoTINE.
This fact has made the reappointment of
Pearson, postmaster at New York, the chief
resisting point of the Mugwumps very doubt
full Congressman Stevens of New York,
who is in close relations with the admins
tration, saws: "Pearsor will not be retained.
New Workers think Cleveland has made up
his mind to displace Pearson, but finds it
very difficult to decide upon man suitable
to succeed him." 1t was rumored that eX-
Representative Dorsheimer will receive the
appointment, and it was argued that it
would
PLEASE THE MUGwUNPs,
as he was the great original Mugwump, hav-
ing been a Republican and left his party for
the same reasons that the others bolted
Gen. Slocum is also spoken of for the place,
but his friends want him to be collector. He
meets with an obstacle to his ambition in that
direction, however, in the opposition of Boss
Mclaughlin, who would do anything to beat
him. Democrats say that the Independents
are an uncertain quantity with no discipline
and no votes to deliver. The thousands of
Democrats who would be driven from the
support of the party by Parsons appoint
ment they say, and the tens of thousands
who were
ALIENATED LAST YEAR
and have not yet come back will be worth
more than the few Mugwumps, who could be
held by the appointment of Pearson. There
is small clique of Democrats from New
York who are rather hoping Pearson will be
appointed There are County Democrats who
want Hubert o. Thompson for collector of
the port, and think his chances would be
increased by letting the Mugwumps dictate
the postoffice department. They believe
modesty would forbid their interference in
the custom house fight also.
