Comment of the London Press.

LONDON, july 24.-The Daily Telegraph de-
votes two columns to review of General
Grants military career, and editorially says he
was the greatest leader whom the United States
has produced
The Daily News says: "There have been few
braver men than General Grant. England will
sincerely regret his death. it is as soldier that
he will be remembered. His name will ever be
associated with the great and righteous struggle
Of which Lincoln the brain and heart and
Grant the arm and weapon"
The Times this morning, in an editorial, says
With all his faults, General Grant loomed
larger in the peoples eye than
any of his rivals or contemporaries.
If his nature was Of metal far more Emixed alloy
than that of the founder of the Republic, as
even his warmest admirers must admit it may
be fairly pleaded that he was,
in this, only the creature of his

Unmoved undismayed
In the crash and carnage Of the cannonade
Eye that dimmed not hand that failed not,
Brain that swerved not heart that quaied not
Steel nerve, iron form
The dauntless spirit that o'erruled the storm.
While the hero peaceful slept
A foeman to his chamber crept;
Lightly to the slumberer came.
Touched his brow and breathed his name.
Ger the stricken brow there passed
Suddenly al icy blast.
Tho hero woke, rose undismayed;
Saluted death-and sheathed his blade.
The Conqueror Of a hundred fields
To a mghter cOnqueror yields;
No mortal foemans blow
Laid the Great Soldier low;
Victor in his latest breath
Vanquished but by Death

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Evidences of Universal Sorrow-Grief of
General Logan.


General Logan.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHISGT0N July 23-Au Washington is in
mourning. At 10 place is the death of General
Grant felt more keenly. and nowhere, save in
his immediate family. is there such profound
grief as at the national capital. Here all claimed
proudly his personal friendship. This they
called his home, and as soon as his death was
announced this morning Grape was hung over
all doorways. Sadly and silently did citizens
put on their homes and business houses great
streams of black, emblematic of true mourning.
Their hands trembled and their hearts went
towards their mouths General Grant is dead" !"
exclaimed every one in low and sad tones, and it
was heralded throughout the city instantly.
Never before did people of all nationalities and
party beliefs show such affection for the soldier
statesman. A majority of Washington's white
population, made up from Maryland and Vir-
ginia stock, largely sympathized with the con-
federacy and opposed the old hero during the
rebellion, but they join tonight as one undi
vided family.
There is belief, born no doubt of DESIRE that
the remains of General Grant will be brought
here for burial. An effort has been making in
that direction for some time. This afternoon
General Burdette, commanding the g. A. r.,
went to New York TO co operate with others in a
move to provide for the burial here. This, he
thinks, as do General Beale and other prominent
citizens, the proper place, for every reason, to
have the ashes Of General Grant rest. Generals
3eale and Burdette will also lead it is thought
IN receiving monument fund. General Logan,
who has clung to General Grant like brother,
and who has considered him almost of like
blood and the same flesh, so closely together and
sympathetic have their hearts beat for many
years, was almost overcome with grief
when finally the sad announcement came.
II cannot conceive" said Mrs. Logan
to the Journal correspondent this afternoon,
"a death outside our family that would have
caused such deep grief to General Logan. He is
almost crushed, and wept like q child when he
first heard of the death" General Logan has
gone to New York and will personally deliver
his sympathies to Mrs Grant and her children
1t is said General Logan proposes to try to have
all members of the Army of the Potomac, if pos
sbe, attend the funeral of their dead comman-
der and give their final parade. Many distin-
guished ex- confederate officers now here have
teleGraphed sympathetic messages to Mrs.
Grant and family. Among them was General
Fitzhugh Lee. Of Virginia. He asked that the
son of General Robert Z. Lee. be permitted to
mingle his tears with hers over the loss of one
whom the world would weep for.
The White House has been handsomely draned
the embems of mourning being equal to those
on the building at the time of the death OF
President Garfield. They are over and around
the windows and door facing north, and the
great pillars Of the portico at the north entrance
are also covered with black.
