Since their association together in the
Census Dept, ho and Capt. Grandstaff
have become very warm friends indeed,
and the fact that they have been retained
in their present positions, when the num-
Der of employees in their division, has
been reduced from 245 to 90. indicates
very clearly, that they are not only COM
petent clerks, but that they are as care
full in the discharge of their duties now,
as they were brave and faithful soldiers
during the war. Although at a period
when it tried mems souls they were
arrayed in arms against each other, they
fully realize now that the war is oyer.
have buried forever the prejudices en-
gsndered at that time, hsying taken Grant
at his word when he said "Let us have
peace" and are now IN position to
recognize the good qualities of those, who
at that period they did not think possessed
them.
The friendship which now exists between
these two old soldiers, is only another
proof Of the fact, that the animos ties
which grew out Of the war, have been
kept alive by the selfish, senseless inter-
ances of inscriptions politicians, and
renders 1t necessary that, in the future,
their sayings must be ignored, If the north
and south are ever to become truly united
again.
Mr. Mufiiey is an intelligent, refined,
courteous gentleman, modest and un-
assuming. who made favorable impress
sion upon sll those who met him here, and
who hope to enjoy the privilege of bis
society again at no distant day.
