NEW YORK, April 25,-Lieut. Gan.

army (retited) has accepted the inyl.
thtion VI Mayer Strong on behalf OF
the city OF New York to ba one OF the
guests at the ceremonies attendant
upon the dedication Ct tue Grant mon
ument.
In accepting the city's Invitation,
the general has written a letter con.
cerning General Grant. As will be
remembered, Gen. 5chofleld was not
under Gfanl's Immediate command In
the field, but was ultimately associated
with him both during ana since tine
war. At one time during the closing
months OF job uson's administration he
was secretary OF war, and thefet re,
Tor the time being, was Granite fhcial
superior. Their relations wero Always
OF The most intimate ami confidential
nature, anu cen. Schofield's Views OF
Grant should be most Interesting at
the present time. In his letter, the
general says in part:
"Tbe greatest OF all the traits OF
GRANTS character was ono that lay al.
ways ON the surface, visible 10 all who
ha1 eyes TO see 1t. That was his moral
and intellectual honesty, Integrity,
sincerity, veracity ana Justice. He
was incapable OF any attempt t. de.
deceive anybody, except Tor legili-
mate purposes, and above all he was
incapable OF deceiving himself. He
possessed tue power o. perfectly ac-
curste estimate OF himself, uoiuf -
enced to vanity, pride, ambit,on,
flsitery or self interesI.
"GfsDt was very tar from being o
modest man, as that word IL geaerslly
unuerstood. His Just self-esteem was
as lar al We 1t as 1t was above fl lttery.
"Wben Granps attention was called
to any mistake he had committed b Z
would eee aud admit II rs quickly and
unreservedly as II 1t hat peen made
by anybody else, anu with q emile
whioiieaprsyeed the = y sctlrpp oe,ta o
that feeling which most men are APP
to show under like circumstances
His love Of truth and 1ustice were &C
far above all personal cpn.i ierations
that ne showed evidence OF qualification
when any error INTO which he might
have fallen was corrected. His pride
in his own mature opinion was very
great. In that he was AS lar as posi-.
Bile from being n modest man. rhis
absolute COZ fience In his own judg.
meut upon any subject he had mas.
tered, anu the moral courage to take
upon himself alone the highest respon.
sibility, anu TO demand iuil authority
ana freedom to act according to his
own judgment, without Interfere cs
from Anybody, added to his accurate
estimate OF his own ability, ana his
clear perception OF the necessity fol
undivided authority and responsibility
in the conduct OF military operations
and in all that concerns the Efficiency
Of armies in time OF war, Constitute d
the foundation OF that very preai
character.
