How Grants Life aud Character are Viewed
By Representative s,.Confedera,es.
The Dispatch presents the following
opinions of the dead General, written
for its columns by distinguished eX-
Confederates
HON. a. II. ii. STUART.
The unexpected and startling an
nouncement Of the extreme and painful
illness of General Grant, followed by
the news Of his death, naturally made
profound impression on the American
people. Political and sectional differ
enceS were at once forgotten. His many
generous and manly qualities were re-
membered, and every heart was filled
with grief for his Affections and sympa-
thy with his family in their bereavement.
For nearly twenty years General
Grant has been the central figure in
American history. The fact that under
his leadership the armies Of the United
States were successful in overthrowing
the Southern Confederacy gave him 50
strong a hold on the gratitude and af-
iection Of the people Of the northern
and western States as to render his
election as President of the restored
Union almost inevitable. His posi-
ton as President of the United States
for two successive terms attracted to
him the attention of all the civilized
nations Of the earth. He had attained
a position which marked him a the
chosen Layorite Of fortune, and for a
time success seemed TO follow every
aspiration. But after awhile the tide
changed. and misfOTtunes followed in a,
rapid succession as his previous tri-
umphs. Political disappointments were
succeeded by financial disasters, aud
they in turn by physical decline, culmi-
mating in the painful malady which
caused his death.
History can hardly furnish a parallel
to the number and grievous character
Of the reyerses which cast a gloom over
the later years Of his life.
The contemplation of the extraordi-
nary career Of General Grant, present
ing as it does so many lights and
shadows, will naturally lead to the ex-
preston of diverse opinions as to his
merits as soldier, statesman, and a
man. Some Of these will doubtless be
the offspring Of personal devotion on the
one hand and of political prejudice on
the other.
The time has not yet come when it
can be determined with certainty what
position he will occupy in history. We
live too near the period and the scene,
of his military exploits and of his active
participation in political events to form
calm and dispassionate judgment Of
his merits. We must await the deyel-
opment of facts which is now in pro-
eress and the soothing influences of
time before we can arrive at correct
conclusions. Meanwhile men will not
hesitate to give their impressions of his
character as formed from the lights now
before them, and as you have requested
me to state mine, | will give them for
what they may be worth.
There has been disposition in some
quarters TO represent General Grant a.
tie mere creature Of accident, and
nan Of very ordinary abilities. This is
a grave mistake. The concurrent tes-
timoDy Of all his military associates
proves that he was eminently fitted for

the disposal Of Colonel Fred. Grant, to
whom is left the entire control Of all
arrangements relative to his fathers
remains. 1t is not unlikely that the
proposition from the city Of New York
TO accord a burial plot for General
Grant and his widow when she
shall have passed away might
be considered by Colonel Grant. The
impression that Washington may be
chosen as the burial-place is believed
to be founded on the present inclination
Of Colonel Grant. The only condition
made by the General, and that as long
ago as June 24th, was that his remains
should be inferred where those Of Mrs.
Grant might in time lie beside his own.

sketch of His Career.
Ulysses s. Grant was born at Point
Pleasant, Ohio, April q, 1922, and
was of f.Scotch descent. In 1923 bis
parents moved to Georgetown, Ohio,
where young Grants early life was
passed. In 1889 he was appointed to
West Point Academy by Hon. Thomas
L. Hamer, member Of Congress. In
l843 he graduated twenty-first in class
Of thirty-nine. and was made breyet
second lieutenant Of infantry, and
was attached as a supernumerary
lieutenant to the Fourth infantry. then
stationed on the Missouri frontier. At
West Point he developed no extraor-
dinary talent as a student, though he
was considered a fair mathematician.
In l843 his regiment went to Texas to
join the army Of General Taylor, and
on the Goth of September Of that year
he was commissioned a first lieuten-
ant. His mettle as soldier was
first tested in the battle of Palo Alto.
May 8. 1916, and he also participated
in the battles of Resaca de Ia Palma
and Monterey and in the siege Of Vera

General Ulysses Simpson Grant died
at Mount McGregor, New York, yester-
day morning at eight minutes past 6
o'clock aged, sixty-three years. His
end was calm and peaceful. The
news Of the sad event created
profound sorrow throughout the
country. About the first intimation
the citizens Of Richmond had that Cen
eral Grant had passed away was the
placing Of the flag upon the Dispatch
building at half-mast. On our streets
nothing but kind words for the de-
parted soldier were heard.

Quoted the Federal operations against
Missionary Ridge and Lookout Noun
tain. The first measure passed by the
Congress Of lS62-'64 was a resolution
awarding General Grant a gold medal.
Later a bill was passed reviving the
grade Of acknowledgement Of the
army, and on March |, 1864, Grant was
nominated for that position by Presi-
dent Lincoln, the Senate confirming the
nomination the following day.
Grant arrived in Washington on
March the 9th, and on March the 18th
issued his first general order. This
order was dated at Nashville; assumed
command Of the armies of the United
States, and announced that until fur
ther orders headquarters would be
in the field with the Army Of the
Potomac. At midnight on May the
Sd General Grant commenced his move
ments against Richmond and his cele-
brated campaign of attrition, beginning
with the Wilderness, where his first
attempt to interpose an army between
General Lee and Richmond was foiled,
and ending with the evacuation Of Rich
mond and the retreat of the thin gray
line, which had been stretched until it
broke, to Appomattox. OF the battles
of this campaign it is not necessary to
speak in detail. All the world knows
how Grant hammered away, continu-
ally receiving relnforcements, and how
Lee foiled him at every turn until COM
PEELED to yield to overwhelming num-
bers and resources. After AppOmat-
tox Grant fixed his headquarters at
Washington, and on July 25, 1866, was
commissioned General Of the Army, the
rank having been created for him. On
August 9th, when President johnson
suspended Secretary Stanton, General
Grant was made Secretary Of War al IN
tdim.

Grant was OH nrSr ballot Unanimously ,
nominated for President, with Schuyler
Colfax for Nice-President. He was
elected and served two terms, but was
defeated of the nomination for a third
term. Upon his retirement from the
presidency he made tour of the world,
and was received with high honors
everywhere. One Of the last acts of
the last Congress was to pass bill by
which he was placed on the retired list
Of the army, with the rank and pay of

II the data Of the registrar generals reports

So the increase in the number Of deaths from

increase Of about 200; from 1890 to 1859

annual increase Of 800. DIR. Charles Moore
attempted 70 show, in book published in
1865, that cancer thrives with good living,
and that its increase was an accompaniment
Of the improved economical condition and
vitality OF the British people. It abounds
where the conditions are ordinarily most IA
vorable TO health, and more among toe rich
than among the poor. According to a
French observer, about 10 per cent Of the
wealthy classes and per cent. Of the poorer
classes are afflicted with cancer. The disease

and, believing that in all such matters the
interest of the city is best served By COM
meueiug in a small way, and as the necessary
information IS gained and the demands of the
public require, extending the work until
perfect and the most economical system is in
operation, herewith sketch general plan
for starting the work.
First-The district TO be accom- modated,
would limit TO those streets which are paved.
While this will be but small portion of the
city, the district can be extended at any time
ON the application of the residents of other
streets.
Secondly public notice call the attention
OF the residents and on ueis throughout this
district that any refuse which they may de-
sire taken away will he removed each day,
between the hours OF Z and O'Clock a. ~,
if placed at convenient points and in proper
reccptacles Of such size as TO be conveniently
handled.
To avoid delay and prevent confusion 1t
viii be necessa4y, in starting, to require that
all refuse matter must be in place by 7o'elock
in the morning, and as the work progresses
and the organization becomes more perfect
the residents will learn the time 10 expect
the garbage carts.
l am of the opinion that as soon as the
people get into the habit Of having their
refuse taken away at regular hours the work
can be done by contract as 10 many other
cities, aud done much cheaper than bv the
city force; but in starting, the great difficulty
will be that bat few people will prepare aud
arrange to take advantage Of the system.
which will result in long trips, light
loads, and considerable waste Of time, and
as We have no informant upon which to
base an estimate as to the amount Of mater
ial 20 be removed or the length OF haul neces-
ssry. it is mpracticable for contractors to
bid intelligently for doing the work at this
time.
1t viii be necessary in starting to
provide at least four water-tigbt carts
for the removal Of slOps and
table refuse. Ashes and other dry materials
can be carried in the ordinary wagons.
The labor report for the year shows total
Of 1913, 3S7 days labor Of men, and sc, 632
days IaOor Of teams. This is divided into

A rumor had reached our ears that the
editor had arrived. Public anxiety had been
excited to the highest pitch to witness the
result of the meeting between us. 1t had
been stated publicly that he would whip us
the moment he arrived; but, though we
thought conflict probable, we had never
been very sanguine as TO its terminating in
this manner. Coolly we gazed from the win
dow of the Office upon the New Town road.
We deserted cloud of dust in the distance:
high above it rose wbip-lash, and we said
the editor cometh, and his driving is like
that OF Jehu, the son Of Nimshi, for he
driveth furiously. Calmly we seated our
selves in the armchair and continued our
labors upon our magnificent Pictorial. Anon
step, heavy step, was heard on the stairs
and the editor stood before u.s. We rose,
and, with an unfaltering voice, said: ''Well,
how do you do!" He made no reply, but
commenced taking off his coat. We removed
ours, also our cravat. 4 The sixth
and last round is described by the press
men and compositors as having been fear
fully scientific. We held the editor down
over the press by our nose (Which he had in
serted between his teeth for that purpoee),
and while our hair was employed In holding
one OF his hands we held the other in our
left, and with the sheep's-foot brandished
above our head shouted to him; 'Say,
Waldo" (the Wing canddate.) ''Nevcru'
he gasped. At this moment we discovered
that we had been laboring under a misuu-
Outstanding. We write this while
sitting without any clothing, except our left
stocking, and the rim of our hat encircliup
our neck like a ruff of the Elizabethan era,
that article Of dress having been knocked
over our head at an early stare OF the pro
ceedings, and the crown subsequently torn
off; while the editor is sopping his eye with
cold water in the next room, a small boy
standing beside the sufferer with basin,
and glancing with interest over the adver-
tisements on the second page of the San
Diego Herald, a fair copy Of which was
