Priest With Assurances of Universal Pray
ers and the Mexican Editors-The Re
sponses in Writing to their Greetings.
Mt. McGREGoR, N. Y, July 9.-Gen
eral Grant was asleep soon after eleven
O'Clock Tuesday night, and slept until
three O'Clock yesterday morning, when
DR.. Douglas cleared the patients throat,
after bod had been given. The patient
and physician then sat for half an hour
In conversation, during which the Gen.
erals mind seemed bright and cheerful.
There were evidences of it in what he
wrote DR.. Douglas. After this the Gen.
eral slept until eight O'Clock, when food
and treatment was again given. The
morning was clear and warm.
The warm, clear weather tempted the
General out of doors, and he spent near
ly an hour on the veranda. Between
one and two O'Clock he again took seat
on the piazza, and wrote for consider
able time.
Rev. Father Didier, of Baltimore,
called on the General during the after
noon. In response to the priests state
ment that they were all praying for him,
he wrote: eyes, know, and feel very
grateful to the Christian people of the
land for their prayers in my behalf.
There is no sect or religion, as shown in
the Old or New Testament, to which this
does not apply. Catholics, Protestants
and Jews and all the good people Of the
nation, of all politics as we'll as religion,
and all nationalities, seem to have united

to the mountain by the Mexican editors,
who were presented to the General by E.
II. Talbot, of Chicago. Senior Augustin
Arroyo de Anna addressed the General,
saying that they could not pass SO near
without paying their respects to one who
had donesso much for his country and for
the promotion of good feeling between
the two Republics.
In response General Grant wrote as
follows: "My great interest in Mexico

States and that country. My interest
was increased when four European mon
arches attempted to set up their institu-
lions on this continent, selecting Mexico,
a territory adjoining. 1t was an
outrage on human rights for foreign
nation to attempt to transfer her institu-
lions and her rulers to the territory of
civilized people without their consent.
They were fearfully punished for their
crime. 1 hope Mexico may soon begin
an upward and prosperous departure.
She has all the conditions; she has the
people; she has the soil; she has the cli-
mate, and she has the minerals. The
conquest of Mexico will not be an easy
task in the future" The party banquet
ed at the hotel and returned to Saratoga
in the evening.
The General was much fatigued by the
reception, ard retired at seven O'Clock.
At midnight he was fast asleep.
