What place." it asks, has that

the breast of the President Of the
United States.
very sensible man knows that
neither the President or the ex-Con-
federate, construed the wearing of the
badge to mean a recognition direct
Or indirect of the justice of the lost
Confederate cause. They know, more
over, that it gave not the slightest en-
enlargement to any hope in the re-
vival of that cause, any more than
the thoughtful care of Gen. Grant in
securing public Office for the great
Confederate General, Joe Johnson,
was an approval of his course, or the
presence of a Confederate General as
a pail bearer at the funeral of Gen.
Sherman, at the request of Sherman's
friends was an approval of the rebel
lion. The wearing of the badge by the
President was merely the measure of
his chivalrous politeness, and stood
as the recognition of the valor of men
who had carried down into ruins their
own social fabric, in the defense of
that which they believed to be right
