May. 1872, pp. 531, 532, 666) disagrees with the general's memory of what took place in the Cabinet. April 14, 1865. General Grant also stated to George William Curtis that Sumner had neglected to report several treaties; but when Harper's weekly of Dec. 8, 1877, was shown to him, which gave the record of the Senate proving that he had reported them with due promptness, the general continued to assume in an extended conversation that the senator had not reported them. (New York Herald, Feb. 22, 1878. containing letter from Cairo, January 17.) His anachronism in his comments on the Alabama claims has already been pointed out. (Ante, p. 398, note.)

General Grant, however, in an interview at Cairo, reported in the New York Herald, Feb. 22, 1878, disclaimed so much of the interview in Scotland as made him impute intentional falsehood to Sumner. It is, however, curious to note that the main subject of this interview was the leader in Harper's Weekly, Dec. 8, 1877, which explicitly stated that, as now shown by the divulged records of the Senate Sumner had done his full duty as to the treaties; and the list, therefore, of unreported treaties sent by the general to Mr. Curtis was not a true one.
