Adam Badeau, Grant in peace: from Appomattox to Mount McGregor, a personal memoir, Chapter 9: (search)
Chapter 9: Continued conflict between Grant and Johnson. during the summer of 1867 the conflict of opinion and effort between Johnson and Grant became positive, though it was still in a great degree concealed from the country. The President's opposition to the Congressional policy continued. He held that the Reconstruction acts were unconstitutional, and that consequently he was not bound to obey them. Grant held that only the Supreme Court could pronounce on the question of constitutionality, and that until it should pronounce, all officers, from the President down, were bound to obey the law. In May and June the Attorney-General delivered the opinions which Grant had foreseen, and did his best to neutralize the force and defeat the purpose of the legislative action. The President directed Grant to forward these opinions to the District Commanders. Grant obeyed, but at the same time informed the commanders that they were their own interpreters of their own duties and powe

The French Minister to the United States, the Marquis de Montholon, was married to an American, and doubtless reported the situation to his master. Grant took good care that the envoy should know his views. I visited the Montholons frequently, and he instructed me to bring up the subject often and to be explicit in expressing his opinions.

Foreign Governments addressed our own on the subject, and Mr. Seward made a formal application to the Mexicans in the ex-Emperor's behalf. But the Liberal Government took the ground that Imperial pretenders must learn that they carried their lives in their hands when they attempted to overthrow the Mexican Republic, and that the traitor wa

criticisms, and never appealed to the press for vindication and now very much dislike to be called on to deny or affirm the statements of some irresponsible reporter without the slightest idea of who he is. But I shall always be much more ready to correct an injustice done another than if I were the injured party. Very Respectfully, U. S. Grant. No. Ten. General Grant to Mr. Rangabe. Greek Minister to the United States. Mr. Rangabe had been Greek Minister to the United States in 1867, and then made the acquaintance of General Grant, who esteemed him highly. In 1868 he returned to his own country to take an important post in the Government, but did not relinquish his appointment to the United States; his son remaining in Washington as acting Charge d'affaires. Upon the election of General Grant to the Presidency the elder Rangabe sent his congratulations from Athens, and they were presented by his son. The following letter is the acknowledgment of Grant. headquar
