Presidents OF the Society.

FreHldentS OF the Society.
The presidents of the. society since its
organization include the names of many
Of the most illustrious soldiers Of the
American army. General U. S. Grant was
Its first commander and Generals W. T.
Sherman, p, H. Sheridan, Major Generals
John A. Logan, J. A. McClernand, Frank
P. Blair. o. o. Howard. Lewis Wallace and
Grenville NJ. Dodge are among those who
have held this high and coveted honor.
General Dodge, one of the two old corps
commanders of the old army now living,
was honored by a reelection to the presi-
dency Of the society at the Council Bluffs
meeting for the eleventh time No man
stands higher in the esteem of the Army
OF the Tennessee than Major General
Dodge, who, in spite of his seventy-1ve
years OF strenuous and illustrious life Is
yet young and vigorous. So is Major Gen.
eral Howard, who celebrated his seventy
sixth birthday anniversary at Council
Bluffs November s, The thirty-sixth annual
meeting Of the society was notable from
the fact that but five general officers of
the old Army Of the Tennessee were pres
emit. They were Howard. Dodge John c.
Black Of Illinois, John II. Stibbs of Iowa
and Samuel Fallows of Illinois. True there
was a host of colonies, majors, captains
and lieutenants, but these scarcely count
in the glamor that surrounds the name Of
general
Among those present at this meeting
were Mrs. John A. Logan; her. daughter.
Mrs. Tucker; Father Thomas Ewing Sher-
man, son Of General w. 7. Sherman; Ma
jor General Ford D. Grant, son Of General
q. s. Grant, and the distinguished Arch
bishop Ireland. And to none was more
sincere reverence paid than to Mrs. Logan,
of whom It was so happily said: "She Is
here with the snow of winter in her hair
and with the sweetness of sprlngtlme in
her heart"

The most significant event of the Council
Bluffs meeting was the report of the COM
mittee appointed to inquire into the charge
of the alleged threat Of usurpation and
dictatorship by General Grant, shortly
after the surrender of Lee, should Presl-
dent johnson carry out his threat of the
public execution of the confederate lead
ers and officers. This story was reiterated
May 90, 1906 at Grants tomb in New York
by the orator OF the day, Judge stafford

report was General o. o. Howard, Mrs
