Mrs. Grants answer to Gen Badeau's
complaint, to which reference is made in
an article on our first page today, has been
filed. The paper is brief one, and simply
denies all Of Badeau's particular allegations.
As TO the contract, or agreement between
Gen. Grant and Badeau, on which the suit
is brought, Mrs. Grant says Badeau refused
to carry it out, demanding extra pay, and
thereupon any contract of employment was
waved and Badeau was discharged. This
will probably be the finding of the jury,
since, on Badeau's own statement, he threw
up the engagement and never did any work
