Oonnecticut's legislature has made a move in the right direction in changing Lincoln day to February 12. The ob- servanoe formerly has occurred in this state on October 15. the objection being that Linooln's birthday February 12 comes in too close proximity to Wash ineton's birthday, bringing the two holidays too close together. T.e change. however. is in the line of sensi- ble legislation. Heretofore Oonnecti- cut has been in about the position of the Irish girl who said that "the Fourth of July comes on the 17th of March"

How Grant Won Yicksburg.

WASHINGTON, January 16.-In the
disturbed condition of affairs in the
Southern States which followed the
war commission was sent out by
President johnson to investigate mat

mission, is now almost the only survi
vor,) found in every Southern hotel
they visited Gen. Robert L. Lees
portraits displayed in the post Of hon
or in the office. The only partial ex-
ception was Vicksburg, where the
portrait of Lee on the right was flank
cd by that of U. S. Grant on the left:
Yesterday this incident was recalled
by remarkable rcncontrc which oc-
CURED in the Speakers room at the
capitol.
Col. Fred. D. Grant, of New York,
son of the great Union general, and
Lieut.. Gen. S. D. Lee, Of Mississippi,
one of the Confederate leaders, met
for a common purpose. Grant and
Lee are here both advocating the per
pctuation of the battlefield on which
Grant won his greatest laurels as a
stratcgist and fighting soldier.
Grant represented the Army Of the
Tennessee and Gen. Lee represented
the Confederate Veteran Association.
They are the leaders of commission
having for its object the purchase OF
the country surrounding Vicksburg,
to be held by the Federal Government
in perpetuity, so that future genera.
tions may see how the great Federal
general manoeuvred to capture the
Gibraltar of the Confederacy.
The park commission, represented
by Grant and Lee, appeared before the
committee on rules, consisting OF
Speaker Reed and Messrs. Hender-
son and Dalzcll, to plead that day
may be set aside for the consideration
of the bill making an appropriation
for the preliminary work Of survcyirg 9
and marking the lines of battle: AS
the bill carries an appropriation Speak
er Reed would not make positive an.
swer, saying that the matter could
not be considered alone in its scnti-
mental side.
