When Gen. Grant was elected
president he asked me to come and
see HIM after the Inauguration. |
went to Washington and started
one morning to make my call, but
met a mutual friend who found
that L Was on my way TO the exc
cutivc mansion, who informed me
the president had just seut my
name to the srnate as surveyor on
customs al New Orleans. So |
failed t0 see him or to know OF his
intended kindness until the hct was
done. If these are construed as
acts of treason my conscience tells
lie that it Is better 10 rest under
them than TO share the responsible
ty that has brought so much trou-
bic.
The relations between Gen.
Grant and myself had been Cordial
and intimate since our carly boy
hood, but it was not this wlfcl,
moved him TO send my name to the
seEaie. II was done rs Il tender Of
the olive branch - the South and
to any OF The officers and soldiers
of The Confederate ARMY that lie
was prepared TO meet and receive
them as he did his own brave sold
icTs who had served gu faithfully in
| their cause. 1t was intended AS an
object lesson for the South and the
North as well, but so far from &c
cepting it in The spirit that prompt
cd the offer the everest censurc
and d~enunciation were INDUCED ia
against me, "In the e III Of bitter
ncss," as Horace Greedy, wrote Ut
il.
In all of these rude words | fear
| worry youi but l have not yet
touched the matter that brought on
this correspondence. Eight or ter
months ago an interview was pub
lished in which | spoke freely my
opinion of General Early, saying
more than was expressed in the
late interview. The report of that
interview was taken to General
L ,rly and he was asked to answer
il, but declined to 10 so. General
Lees letter dismissing him from
service told more strongly of his
incfii:iency than anything [ could
say. His letter was MT criticism,
but the report of my interview has
brought out the cid charge Of trea
son.
To associate General Grants
name with it, who came into office
years after the act, is one of the cx
pedicnts that malice uses to cover
Tits W errors. General Grant
could aud would have done more
for the South than two such pres
idcnts as we now have. Let ne
add thai it was aim hat made nc
construction possible. 1t gave a.
plea for the party to check the
game OF the ultras in their aims at
conliscation. | am sincerely and
fraternally your eomrade aud ohedi
ent servant. JAMES LoNGsTRKET,
tho victim OF the Democracy which
continues to add fuel to the flames.

Le better for the people to get
D2gether as one party and leave TO
I'he future issues that might divide

The afternoon Of tue day Oh
which my letter was published the
paper calling for my views pub
iished a lengthy editorial dcnounc-
ing me as a traitor to my people,
who had gone aver to their enc
mics. 1t did not replblish my
letter, nor did other papers, but all

Judge others | would have said that
1t was politics that had deserted
the people and their interests &C
ton in etfJrts 10 overcome the
laws that brought us to military
governments for our states aud
forced reconstruction with tie
wars that must follow. Under my
views peace and harmony would
soon have followed, and the South
crn States in two or three years
would have been restored 10 pros
porous times.
Having accepted the laws ex-
tending suffrage to the negroes
there was no place for me in the
Democratic party, which had ell
tered into it's formidable crusade
against il. For that matter, | can
not claim that | ever had a place
there. In boy hood days my sym
palhies were with the Wing party.
My next nearest approach to poiit
zeal utilization was III 1858, when
| advised friends 10 go with the
Douglass wing Of the Democracy.
In advising that The reconstruction
laws be accepted | proposed that
We should give them a fair trial,
and if they proved harmful we
should 60 to work and repeal them
in d lawful way; that the North
would readily join us in that if
negro suffrage proved to be prema
turc.
But under the excitement oil
times the opposition became VIC
lent even to the extent of giving
continuance to the Kukiux organ
lzations that formed at that time.
Personal reasons for accepting
the acts of congress arose from the
peculiar situation under which we
were left by the terms of General
Lees c~apitulatiOn at A~ppomattox
court house on the 9th of April,
1865. We were paroled under
pledges that We would respect the

Ar that time General Grant was
known as Democrat, though he
had not taken active part in poll
tics. If he had voted his ballots
were cast for Democratic candI
dates, and his first for a Erpubli
can nominee was in 1876 for Prcsr

months before he was nominated
for the presidency, tWo years before
he was inaugurated and probably q

Displays

some OF the Unusually Attractive Holiday
Displays.
1t is doubtful if the show windows
OF Rock Island ever presented the
elaborate and tasty displays
ior the holiday season that they do
TINS year. In fact, in grandeur, in
volving expense and pains, there
are some exhibits in Rock Island that
are unsurpassed in the three cities.
The electrical scene presented in the
west window of the McIntyre-Reck
Dry Goods company's store last ev-
enlng, and which will continue
throughout the holiday season, ex-
ceeds in brilliancy and unique de-
sign anything before attempted here.
The ever varying hues and the dis
play of the name constitutes a device
that attracted an immense crowd,
which was filed with admiration
and appreciation of the enterprise
manifested.
Other Attractive Exhibits.
The windows OF Krell & Maths
confectionery store and LLOYD &
Stewart. gents furnishings. come
next, while that of McCabe Bros, of
Nj. d X. and the London, are equally
commendable, and all contribute to
an exhibition of Rock Islands mer-
camille worth and public spirit.
The evening is the best time to see
the displays to advantage.
