Atlanta Constitution.
1t is the custom Of all great soldiers to visit
the tomb of Napoleon when they visit Paris
General Grant was an exception to the rule. He
regarded the mighty Emperor with horror, and
during his stay in Paris could not be persuaded
to visit the great conqueror's last resting place
Grant viewed the First Napoleon as murder
GUS monster, and felt no more interest in his
emblazoned cenotaph than he would have felt in
the sepulchre of an ordinary brigand The
splendor of the Corsicans career failed to dazzle
the plain republican soldier He felt only abb
horrence for the man who sacrificed millions to
his lust of ambition and dominion. Grants
opinion of Napoleon is significant, and throws a
flood of light upon his own real character.

A Timely Letter.

New York Tribune.
This letter tine one dated July 10, 1861 comes
in time to correct many impressions to the
career of the great soldier and exPresdent 1t
has been commonly thought he entered the serv-
ice as soldier rather than patriot, with not
very clearly defined political opinions, but with
clear idea that it was his duty as soldier to
defend the flag Of his country, and that his po-
iitical convictions were mainly formed by inter-
course with others, and by the progress
ter of 1861, on the contrary, proves
that he had most clearly defined convictions in
regard to the question of slavery, the right and
wrong of the struggle and the aggressive spirit
of the slave power even before he had offered
his services to his country. He was mentally a
larger and broader man, prior to the war, than
the nation has been prone to suppose, and 1t Is
easy to see how. beginning to work with the
Republican party" only as a matter of duty, he
soon found its convictions wholly in accord with
his own. Shortly after this letter was written,
he began that active life which has resulted so
grandly for his country, and so gloriously for
himself.

the two were always friendly toward each other.
