dvised. A delegation was appointed by this convention to proceed to Washington and present resolutions of sympathy to the President. Late on the morning of their arrival Johnson sent the following note to Grant: Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., August 18, 1866. General U. S. Grant, Commanding, etc.: General,—The President presents his compliments to you and requests the pleasure of your presence at the reception at the Executive Mansion of the committee from the recent conventew in his lot with the people with whom he had fought. The following letter illustrates the original aversion of Grant to entering politics: General Grant to General Sherman. （Private.) headquarters armies of the United States, Washington, D. C., Oct. 18, 1866. dear General,—Yesterday the President sent for me and in the course of conversation asked if there was any objection to you coming to this city for a few days. I replied, of course, that there was not. I wish, therefore,<

al Richard Taylor, the brother-in-law of Jefferson Davis, and one of the most influential of the Southern leaders, shows that this view is no imaginative speculation or far-fetched criticism: headquarters armies of the United States, Washington, D. C., Nov. 25, 1866. dear General,—Your letter of the 20th is just received. My letter to Pride, with which this is enclosed, answers a part of yours. The day after you left here the President sent for me, as I expected he would after my of this opinion still. During these contentions Congress created, or rather revived, the grade of General in the Army for Grant. His nomination was announced to him by the Secretary of War in the following letter: War Department, Washington City, July 25, 1866. General,—The President has signed the bill reviving the grade of General. I have made out and laid your nomination before him, and it will be sent to the Senate this morning. Yours truly, Edwin M. Stanton. Lieutenant-

uncertain of the strategy of the enemy, but he fought what he believed to be the enemy's plan. He never changed his opinion afterward, but remained convinced that had opportunity offered Johnson would have attempted some disloyal artifice. Of this he repeatedly assured me. The following letter to General Sheridan shows Grant's apprehensions at this time. It was written while Sheridan was in command at New Orleans: [Confidential.] headquarters armies of the United States, Washington, D. C., Oct. 12, 1866. dear General,—I regret to say that since the unfortunate differences between the President and Congress the former becomes more violent with the opposition he meets with, until now but few people who were loyal to the Government during the Rebellion seem to have any influence with him. None have unless they join in a crusade against Congress, and declare their acts, the principal ones, illegal, and indeed I much fear that we are fast approaching the time when he wil

, and retracted what he had said, with tones and glances that repaid me for all the pain he had inflicted. All that day he took care in a hundred little ways to do me kindnesses and to show that he was striving to make amends. For this stubborn, silent soldier was as considerate for the sensitiveness of a friend as ever he was anxious for the welfare of the State or for victory over a rebellious enemy. General Sherman to General Badeau. headquarters Army of the United States, Washington, D. C., Feb. 12, 1882. dear Badeau,—. . . I rather like the idea of your preparing a History of Reconstruction; only it seems to me that it will be a tight squeeze to get all the essential facts into a small volume of the size of Scribner. It will be better to collect the materials and allow the size to result from them. Reconstruction was a corollary of the war, and forms a continuation of the subject-matter of your past work, and it so happens that your Hero in war was Leader in the Re

Private, which has already been given to the world. I quote the portion referring to Stanton: [Private.] headquarters armies of the United States, Washington, D. C., August 1, 1867. His Excellency, A. Johnson, President of the United States: Sir,—I take the liberty of addressing you privately on the subject of the con letter to Stanton, of which I preserved the original draft, with the lines struck out by Grant's own hand: headquarters armies of the United States, Washington, D. C., August 12, 1867. Sir,—Enclosed herewith I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a letter just received from the President of the United States, no respect, your ob't serv't, U. S. Grant, General. To Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. To this Stanton replied as follows: War Department, Washington City, August 12, 1867.

ain notions in politics not entirely dissimilar to those with which Johnson himself had started; he might be inclined to act with the loyal men who had followed Johnson in his aberrations. Above all, he might be tempted by the chance to supplant his only superior in military position or possibly fame. So the scheme was laid to entrap Sherman and use him to further Johnsons views in antagonism to Grant. General Sherman to General Badeau. headquarters Army of the United States, Washington, D. C., June 27, 1877. dear Badeau,—Your letter of June 13th catches me in the act of packing up for an absence of three months, and leaves me only time to say that the marked honors paid General Grant by all classes, from the sovereign down to the masses of England, touch our people, especially his old comrades, with great force. All the papers of every shade of politics chronicle his movements and furnish the minutest details. We all know that he and Mrs. Grant went up from London last

achieved his greatness, his children were only playmates and objects of affection for him. They were too young to understand his efforts and duties and anxieties. Jesse, the only one whom I ever saw much with him in the field, was a child of only seven years, a toy, a delight to his father, and of course was cherished deeply, but that was all; the others were at school; he hardly saw them, and when he did, of course they could not influence his action or perceive its object or results. In Washington, all through the terrible anxieties of the Andrew Johnson time, they were still children. He was fond of them, but he did not then impress me as more tender than many other fathers, though deficient in no parental duty or sentiment. I left his side after the first months of his Presidency, and saw little of him for the next seven years, but I met all of his children in Europe—the daughter first. She was then just seventeen, the sweetest, most natural, most delightful of American mai
