Before doing so, however, I made a search of all my pockets and found it as stated. I have written to B, but said nothing about the contents of the chapter under review. In fact wrote my letter before reading it. It is all right except I would like to see Burnside let off a little easier. Yours, U. S. G. No. Fourteen. The Comte de Paris to General Badeau. This letter was written after I had forwarded the letter of General Grant given in chapter LI, page 498. Chateau d'eu, Seine Inferieure, May 11th, 1878. My dear General,—I thank you very much for your letter of April 21st, and for the most valuable information which you have given me. I had, of course, the greatest doubts about the accuracy of General Pemberton's statement, as it was so much at variance with your own account; but coming from such high au

His Excellency Señor don D. F. Sarmiento, President of the Argentine Republic: my dear Sir,—I have lately read in the newspapers that the Argentine Republic proposes offering the command of its armies to one of the successful generals of the United States in the recent war. It would of course be impertinent in me to make any suggestion in a matter of so much importance; but if there should be any foundation for the report alluded to, I am sure you will be glad to know the opinions of General Grant.

anza, the retributive lashes which their conduct justly deserves, we should be much nearer a settlement. As for the recognition of belligerency being friendly, Mr. Forster leaves the House of Commons, rushes to the Commons Library, takes down Wheaton, and finds it friendly. By such sciolism was this terrible step determined. The question of belligerency is the most difficult of unsolved questions in International Law. When Wheaton wrote and died, next to nothing was known on it. No rule haWheaton wrote and died, next to nothing was known on it. No rule had been established; no rule is established now, unless the English precedent be accepted as a final expression of the law. This I think bad for the peace of the world, and for International Law. Talk with Mr. Bemis on the friendly character of that concern. He knows its history. I never saw Mr. Seward more like a caged tiger, or more profuse of oaths in every form that the English language supplies than when prancing about the room denouncing the Proclamation of Belligerency, which he swore h

2.) The action of our Government in two instances. 1. The early recognition of the belligerent rights of the South. 2. Allowing the Alabama to get out of Liverpool. In the first place, as to the feeling in England. The article truly states that there was a great division of opinion in this country. London Society probably favored the South. The Country generally favored the North. Taking the members of the House of Commons who gave utterance to their opinions, Mr. Gregory and Mr. Roebuck spoke in favor of the South. Mr. Bright and Mr. Forster in favor of the North. Surely when in the United States there was so large a body on the other side, people in this country might, without bringing upon England the hostility of the people of the United States, hold different opinions as to the parties in the United States. Again, is it not unjust on the part of the people of the United States to find fault with the English people generally, and to complain of Englishmen as a wh

or the publishers. It was submitted for a similar review also to Generals Porter and Babcock, two of the staff colleagues of the author. In addition to this, all those chapters treating of events in which Generals Sherman and Sheridan held detached commands were submitted to those officers. The author had access to the Government and captured and purchased archives. He also read and consulted all that was published on both sides, before and during the time he was writing this book, with the view of getting the truth. So far as I am capable of judging, this is a true history of the events of which it treats. The opinions expressed of men are the author's own, and for which no one else is responsible. Very Truly, U. S. Grant. P. S. General Geo. H.

It is interesting for the defense of Sumner's famous speech which it contains, and which he desired I should render to his English friends. For Sumner was always anxious about the effect of his rhetoric, although the anxiety never induced him to restctim kept alive. Then when the war broke out and the opinions that Sumner had advocated became triumphant he was naturally looked upon as a lr acquirements that were so unlike his own. But when the egotism of Sumner came in contact with the stubbornness of Grant the result was inevitable. Sumner used all the arts of the rhetorician in his attacks on Grant; he was unfair, illogical, and untrue; and Grant resented the injunest, well-meant effort with indignity. Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. I hope Mr. Moran is well. I know not what I have writt

f expression that captivated many and deceived himself as well as others into the belief that his oratory was of a higher order than was really the case. It smelt too much of the lamp. His history also excited an interest that was adventitious. He had been ostracized in Boston society, and for a long time in Washington as well, because of his anti-slavery sentiment, and to the last there were many who refused to receive or invite him—even after his marriage. But the dastardly attack of Brooks evoked a general sympathy which the continued suffering of the victim kept alive. Then when the war broke out and the opinions that Sumner had advocated became triumphant he was naturally looked upon as a leader. But he was never fitted for more than oratory. He was no statesman, no practical man in affairs, and as opposite as possible in quality and character to Grant. Neither indeed could fully understand or appreciate the other, although each had originally respected the achievements
