th the young lady and her family,—father & mother, sister & four brothers. We expect them to spend the winter with us, & as Mr. Sartoris & Nellie will be here in January, we will have I hope, quite a gay household. Buck is in a law office in New York City, and is a student at the same time in Columbia Law School. Jesse entered Dear Badeau,—I would advise that you drop a private note to Asst. Sec. Hay saying that you would like to have your leave extended to about the 20th, or last of Jan. to insure getting your book in the hands of the printer before leaving. I will be going to Washington on Monday the 13th inst. and will speak to Hay, or Evarts, ting the winter he was again in New York, and again assured General Grant that I should receive the Italian Mission, but I did not approach him at that time. In January, however, I went to Washington, and he received me by appointment in the evening. Again he promised to nominate me to Italy, but he said there was a difficulty a

some utterances hostile to the Catholics while he was President, which those functionaries resented. This was the only instance of the kind that occurred to Grant in Europe or Asia. Nearly every city in the United Kingdom had welcomed him officially and presented him with its freedom, but Cork preferred to be singular. Paris, France, Dec. 28th 1878. Dear General,—I have again concluded to visit Ireland before my departure for the East. General Noyes & I will leave here on the 2d of Jany. without servants, and only hand-bags, for a flying visit through the principal cities. We expect to be in Dublin the next morning after we leave, only passing from one station to the other in London. We will not stop more than one day at any place in Ireland, and must be back here by Saturday, the 11th of January. You might make your arrangements to join us in London on our return and come to Paris with us. I have no information yet of the sailing of the Richmond, and can form no i

his to General Grant, and he replied: I had heard before that the English had sent their Vice-Consul to Cuba to Mexico, ostensibly to renew intercourse with that government, but more particularly to co-operate with the Germans and French to defeat a commercial treaty with the United States. I sent your letter, with one from myself, to the Secretary of State. You should by all means write to the Secretary of State, saying to him substantially what you say to me in your letter of the 3d of January. Of course I cannot send that letter. We were successful in negotiating a commercial treaty, which is practically ratified so far as the Mexican Government is concerned. We will see what our Senate will do with it if the President sends it in. It was delivered to the Secretary of State two weeks ago, with report, but so far it has not seen the light. Again, on the 28th of February, 1883, he wrote me a letter which sufficiently explains the purport of mine, to which it was a reply:

the world. These letters contain constant messages to Babcock or references to him which would never have been made had Grant entertained a doubt of Babcock's innocence. Cairo, Egypt, Feb. 4th 1878. Dear General,—Your letter of the 3d of Jany., enclosing a chapter of your book, and a letter from Babcock reached me some five or six days up the Nile from here. There was no use in answering earlier because the reply could not do better than to come by the boat I did. Our trip has beech to defeat a Commercial Treaty with the United States. I sent your letter, with one from myself, to the Sec. of State.— You should by all means write to the Sec. of State saying to him substantially what you say to me in your letter of the 3d of January.

Grant had informed the President two days before that he should instantly vacate the office if such a decision was made. The President insisted that the law was unconstitutional and urged Grant to retain the place; but Grant replied that he would subject himself to the penalties of fine and imprisonment if he violated the law. Johnson offered to pay the fine and submit to the imprisonment; but of course this was preposterous, and Grant persisted in his determination. This was on the 11th of January. The President still would not accept the refusal, and when Grant left the room Johnson said he should expect to see the General again. The next day was Sunday, and as it was evident that the Senate would not concur in the suspension of Stanton Grant was greatly concerned. He was not anxious that Stanton should be restored, for he felt that the Minister's power for good was now ended, and that the workings of the Government would be needlessly thwarted by the intrusion of an unwelc

y subordinate in his interviews with the President and strove to express no opinions offensive to his superior. A year after these events the time came for Johnson to report his reasons for the suspension of Stanton. Sherman was then on duty at Washington as president of a board to revise the regulations of the army. His relations with Grant were so intimate that they discussed in advance the conduct of Grant in case the Senate should disapprove the action of the President. On the 11th of January, two days before the Senate decided, Grant told Sherman that he would not retain the office of Secretary of War after the disapproval of the Senate, and Sherman urged him to make known this intention promptly to the President. It was partly because of this urgency of Sherman that Grant went the same day to Johnson to announce his determination. It was also Sherman who first suggested the name of Governor Cox as a substitute, when Grant should give up the office, and Grant urged Sherma

General Noyes & I will leave here on the 2d of Jany. without servants, and only hand-bags, for a flying visit through the principal cities. We expect to be in Dublin the next morning after we leave, only passing from one station to the other in London.

You might make your arrangements to join us in London on our return and come to Paris with us. I have no information yet of the sailing of the Richmond, and can form no idea of the time of my departure. I cannot leave Paris however until after the 15th. Mr. Borie, who goes with me, will want a little rest here, and if Fred goes he cannot arrive in Paris before the 15th. Very Truly Yours, U. S. Grant. Gen. A. Badeau, U. S. A. P.

nd doubtless Stanton would have refused. In December Congress re-assembled, and Johnson was obliged by the Tenure of Office Act to report to the Senate within twenty days his reasons for the suspension of Stanton. This he did, and on the 13th of January the Senate resolved that the reasons were insufficient. By the language of the law this decision at once re-instated Stanton. Grant had informed the President two days before that he should instantly vacate the office if such a decision wamore in accord with his views than Grant. The Hon. Reverdy Johnson also saw the President and recommended the same course; but the President did not accept the suggestion. Thus Saturday, Sunday, Monday passed. It was late on Monday, the 13th of January, when the Senate resolved that the causes for removing Stanton were insufficient. Grant attended a levee of the President that night, but had only formal and unofficial conversation with him. Early on the 14th Grant went to the office of th

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. headquarters Army of the United States, Washington, D. C., Feb'y 15, 1869. my dear Sir,—Your esteemed and flattering congratulatory letter of the 20th of January, accompanied by an equally complimentary note from your son, is received. I sincerely hope that my country may continue to deserve the high stand among the nations of the earth which you ascribe to it, and be regarded as the friend of those struggling for freedom and self-government, the world over. For myself I can only strive to deserve the confidence which so great a nation has bestowed on me. Thanking you for the kind expressions contained in your letter, and hoping for your

intending to recommend him to resign, but he soon perceived that the advice would be useless, and counseled Sherman not to offer it. Meanwhile the controversy between Grant and the President was approaching a culmination. Twice Grant received important orders from Stanton requiring immediate action, and inclosing communications from the Treasury which recognized Stanton as Secretary of War; and yet the President had verbally instructed him to disregard Stanton's authority. On the 24th of January Grant formally requested that the President would put into writing these verbal directions. This was not done, and Grant was placed in a very embarrassing position. It was the old device—to make some one else do the unauthorized work and take the responsibility, by which Johnson was to profit without burning his fingers. At the same time the imputations of bad faith were continued against Grant. Finally, on the 28th of January, Grant renewed his request for written instructions to d
