THE GENERALS COMMISSION.
The Document Signed by the President and

The Document Signed by the President and
the New Secretary of War.
/ WASHINGTON, March When the commits
sion was made out for the appointment Of Gen.
eral Grant on the retired list Secretary Lincoln
retained it at the War Department, thinking it
proper that the new Secretary should be given
opportunity to countersign it after its signature
by the President. Yesterday morning the Pres
dent sent for it, in order that there might be no
delay in making the appointment Secretary
Lincoln took the commission to the executive
mansion in person, and handed it to the Presi-
dent remarkng that he had not yet acted upor.
it, because he thought Judge Endicott would be
pleased to attend to it as one of his first official
duties.
''That was very thoughtful in you, Mr.. Lin
coln,' observed the President II have no doubt
it would be pleasure to Judge Endicott Still
will sign it myself, that there may be no delay,
and then Judge Endicott can countersign it,
President Cleveland thereupon affixed his sig
nature to the commission. After the official
record was made, the commission was returned
to the War Department This morning it was
on the desk of the Secretary of War, and
the first official act of Secretary Endicott was to
cot,ntersion it.

to enter the house or even to inquire at the door,
but stand singly or in groups in Fifth avenue or
in 6ixty-frst street and talk of the achievements
of the General in time of peace and war; or walk
up and down in front of the house, looking at
the window in the second story where the Gen
eralShbrary is situated and where he spends
his days in the hope that they may catch a
glimpse Of him. They were disappointed to-day,
however, for the curtains were pulled down most
of the day, and the General was not seen to look
out at all.
In aconversation held few days ago with
General Badeau in his library he dropped re-
mark that shows that he evidently appreciates
the seriousness OF his condition. Coming to a
piece of manuscript that within the next few
weeks he would find it necessary to use in for
warding his literary labor towards completion,
he began to give directions in reference to it.
General Badeau interrupted him and told him
that it was unnecessary for him to continue any
expression of his desires with respect to this par
ticnlar piece of manuscript, as he would ul-
doubtedly be able to dispose of it himself at the
proper time.
General Grant replied, without change of
expression, or the shadow of regret or fear upon
his face, in his usual quiet tone of voice and
bIsiness-like manner: General, that may be
what you think, but my impression is that /
will not last thirty days. He then went on
and continued the work of going through his
papers without the slightest change in his de-
meauor.
