nflicts at the South, and financial disturbance likely to come from the success of a party whose strength lay in the Southern States, and among Northern men who were largely Southern in sentiment. It was but seven years since the Civil War, and the uppermost thought was to maintain what had been won by it. The President's critics found that they could not obtain with the masses a clearing of their charges of maladministration, and their voices were drowned by the mention of Vicksburg and Appomattox. When Sumner in his undelivered address said that the time for the soldier had passed, meaning as a claimant of civil distinctions solely on the score of services in war, he mistook the temper of a people who have always regarded distinguished military services, not always with discrimination, as the best title to civil honors.

Adam Badeau, in the Century Magazine, May, 1885, p. 160, states that Sumner waited, at the head of a committee, on General Grant, soon after the close of the war, and proposed (Badeau present) a picture of the surrender at Appomattox to be placed in the rotunda of the Capitol, and that the general declined. This statement was replied to by C. W. Eldridge in the same magazine for October, 1885, p. 957. It is incredible on its face, and exhibits well the quality of that untrustworthy narrator. What had been done without censure and with little observation in the midst of the intense heats of the Civil War strangely enough now provoked indignant protests in the name of patriotism, at a time when there had been an opport
