Grants Offer to Gen, Pickett

FROM the Richmond Va) Dispatch.
We all criticised Grant for that drastic
war measure Of his by which he discontin-
ued the exchange of prisoners, but he GER
tainly behaved very handsomely to Lee
and Lees troops a Appomattox. And when
he became President he was kind in giving
places to ex-confederates. Longstreet him
self prcf1ted by Grants friendship in that
way. Grant offered to make Gen. Pickett
a United States MARSHAL for one of the
Virginia districts. but Pickett declined the
office. telling Grant that as popular as
Grant was with the people, he (GranO
could not afford to make such an appoint
ment. This was as much to say that Pick
EFT could not change his affiliations, and
that for him not to do so would be to in
jure Grant In the Tiew Of the northern
public. President Davis spoke very kindly
indeed of Gen. Grant in a letter published
about the time of Grants death. Indeed.
Grant stands far higher in the estimation
Of southern veterans than any other GEN
eral Of the war on the northern side.

which. he says, forms proper base and an
effective surrounding for the simple pc

generally is severely simple. being COM
posed of plain surfaces with Greek mold

measure the severity of the surfaces, while
at the same time these Inscriptions serve
