the blanks were filed out by General Grants
own hand One of the papers following this

Gen. Arson McCook, the han dsome Secretary
of the Senate has lying on his table volume
that is as rare and interesting as any in Amer
ca. AS is well known, all of the official COM
munications from the President to the Senate
from the foundation of the government have been
preserved. General McCook has selected few
of the greatest historical interest and has had
them bound in red morocco covers They are
all executive documents, and all but
nominations to Office. That one is message
from the President of the United States and
reads as follows:

Senate Chamber at Il:30 o'clock tomorrow, to
advise with them on the terms of the treaty to
be negotiated with the Southern indians.

Another interesting document, in the hand

Washington, of Mt. Vernon. to be Lieutenant
general and commandern- chief of all the
armies raised or to be raised in the United

ing, which shows that John Adams was not
above appointing his own son to an important
Office, and it will be noticed that he dates all
communications THE United Srates:'

Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, to be Minister
Plenipotentiary from the United States to the
King of Prussia s'JoHN ADAMS.
