GRANT IN PEACE.

BY GENERAL ADAM BADEAU.

[Copyright, 1887.] Grant and Bfezloo.

Grant always took a peculiar interest in the republic of Mexico. His experi ences during the Mexican war left a lively impression with him, and there was no portion of his "Memoirs" in which he manifested a keener interest than in the pages describing, not only the cam paigns in which he participated and the adventures that befell himself, but the peculiarities of the country, the climate, and the inhabitants of Mexico. I remember well the composition of these chapters, and how I was struck with the clearness of his memory and the vividness of his youthful perceptions, so long after recalled. At the close of the rebellion all this interest was intensified for the conversion of Mexico into an empire seemed to Grant a sequence, or rather an incident of secession, and his concern did not abate until the expulsion of the French and the re-estab lishment of the republic.

Upon Grant's assumption of the duties of president, Rawlins at first exercised great influence with him, and all that influence was in favor of an extension of territory. St. Domingo, Cuba, and the northern portion of Mexico—all Rawlins would have been glad to incorporate into the Union. It was with a view the acquisition of a large slice territory on the northern frontier Mexico that the mission tp that country was offered in 1869 to General Sickles. -The acquisition was intended to be peaceful, by purchase, and with the entire consent of the neighboring state for Grant would have been the last man to unfairly appropriate the domains of the friendly republic he had disap proved the forcible extension of territory in the dayn of the annexation of Texas, and his relations with the statesmen

Mexico, as well as his regard for the in terests and honor of that country, were genuine. But after deliberation it was deemed not advisable to attempt the ab sorption of Mexican territory. The ad ministration concluded that there were other and more pressing matters to be decided the reconstruction of the union itself and the pacification of the South were still incomplete there was the con dition of the emancipated race to ad just and to take other and foreign elements into the population at this crisis would propound new problems and provoke additional and inopportune difficulties. So the Mexican question as it was presented to Grant in the early daysoi his presidency, was allowe.d to drop, and was n«t revived in the same form during his career.

But on his return from his European tour he revisited Mexico, and again lively impression was made upon him It was at this time that ideas of business relations with the sister' republic were first broached to him. Everything, however, was in abeyance until the re suit of the Chicago convention could be known. Immediately after that event and his own defeat, Grant visited Colo rado, and from Manitou Springs he wrote to me: "I think now I will be in New York city soon after my return to Galena The probabilities are that I shall make my home there. But this is not entirely certain. I am obglied to do something to supplement my means to live upon and I have favorable opportunities there. Fortunately, none of my uhil drcn area tax upon me. ff they were, we would all have to retire to the farm and work that. "I have been looking at the mines in New Mexico and in this state, and flatter myself that I have obtained some thing of an insight into the resources of the two—the state and territory—and large insight in the way mines are man aged. Without going into details, I would not buy stock in any mine in the country where the stock is thrown on the market, any more than I would buy lottery tick' ets. The mines are producing largely but those quote! pay no dividends to the stockholders, unless it is to put up the price of the stocks, so the Knowing ones can sell out. Porter & Co. have a magnificent mine, managed by a thoroughly competent and honest man. It is so opened that they will get out all there is in it in the most economical manner, and the dividends will be rega lar subject Jto no vicisitudes except strikes, epidemics or earthquakes. I go on Saturday to the Garrison and from there to the San Juan region. That visit over, I will have seen a large part of the mining region."

On the 12th of August he wrote to me again: "T have been away from here for ten days visiting parts of Colorado I had never seen before. The trip was a very hard one, though full of interest. I am satisfied this Btate has a great destiny |before it. The new region that I visited will show greater mineral resources than all that has been heretofore discovered in tbe state, besides considerable agricul tural resources. But I will see you in September, when I shall be in New York and then 1 can tell you more than I can write. When I go to New York it will be determined whether I accept the presidency of the mining company to which I have been elected. One thing is certain I must do something to supplement my income, or continue to live in Galena or cn a farm. I have not got the means to live in a city. With kindest regards of Mrs. Grant, Fred and Buck (the latter has just left), I am, aB ever, yours truly, U. S. GRANT."

During this winter Grant turned his attention almost exclusively to Mexican affairs. He soon became president of a railway company whose road ran south from the City of Mexico, and he was also actively engaged in furthering ihe enterprise of connecting the two republics by rail. In 1S81 he went again to Mexico, and from there, on the 7th of May, he wrote to me: "My busiuess here progresses favorably so far as the president and departments are concerned. have heard nothing yet of any opposition in Congress (the Mexican legislature). Before this reaches you 1 will be on my way home."

I find a few passages in his letters after this that illustrate his character, and show in what matters be was occupied. On the 11th of March he wrote: "Dear Badeau The story about my failure was all pure fiction, invented with many lies in the stockboaid to depress stocks, have nothing to%do with these speculators, and I think it great presumption to use my name in any way to effect their purposes.

Xi..

Verv truly youre."

On the 21st of July, 1882, he said to me: "I shsll isfec no notice of Shepherd for the present. He staled tnithfully in a published interview that I had no interest in the Peruvian Company, and never had. I do not recognize the right of reporters sr.d sensational writers to call upon me for au explanation whenever my name i^ mentioned."

In 1882 Grant was appointed, entirely without his own solicitation or expectation, a commissioner to negotiate a commercial treaty with Mexico. This was doubtless at the instance of Mr. Freling-

hujeen, who retained his personal and friendly relations with Grant after the ex-president had altogether broken with Arthur. At the very time when Grant's most

urgent»applications

and recommendations in behalf of political adherents or personal friends were rejected or ignored, his own nomination was

Bent

to the senate. This waa

very adroit move on the part of the government, for Grant was known to take a keen interest iD our commercial relations with Mexico, and he could hardly refuse the appointment, although to accept it would give the appearance of a friendly feeling for the administration which he was far from entertaining. He saw the design, but the great public interest

was

paramount with

him to any personal feeling. He delayed some little while, but finally accepted the appointment. This, of courae, brought him into Closer relations with the state department, but those relations did not

extend

to the head

ernment. He

negotiated

the gov

a- treaty to which he

refers in the following letter of February 4,1883. In the winter of 1882 I had gone to Cuba

consul-general,

and soon after my arrival the English vice-consul at Havana was removed to the City of Mexico. The Eng lish had maintained no diplomatic or consular representation in Mexico for nearly twenty years—since the tripartite invasion of 1862, and I heard in Havana that thin embassy, if such it could be called, was an attempt to forestall Gen eral Grant's treaty, and prevent the United States from obtaining advantages which the English hoped to secure for themselves. I wrote this to General Giant, 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 let ter, with one from myself, to the secretary of state, saying to him substantially what you say to me in your letter of the 3d of January. Of coarse I cannot send that letter. We were socceesful in negotiating a commercial treaty, which is practically ratified ao 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, 18,83, he wrote me a letter which sufficiently explains the purpose of mine, to which it was a leply: "I was much pleased to receive your letter of the 22d inst. I was tempted to gjye what you say about the use of Mexican tobacco, its use in Cuba, the feeling of Cubans in regard to the eflect of the treaty, etc., to the press. Of course I should only have given it as from a friend of mine, writing from Havana. But, on reflection, I concluded that the public would know who my friend in Cuba was, so concluded not to. I wish, however, you would write the same thing to the state department.

You will learn by the mail that carries this that consideration of the treaty has been deferred until December next. This, I tear, will defeat the treaty in Mexico, where there will be untiring efforts by foreign merchants and diplomats to prejudice the government against it. Mrs. Grant tells me to say that she ie just reading your history, and thinks more of you than ever. She is now in the second volume."

The treaty was not confirmed. In one of General Grant's letters during this period he wrote: "I never would have undertaken the work I am now engaged in for any possible gain that could accrue to myself. But I have been much impressed with the resources of this country [Mexico], and have entertained a much higher opinion of these people than the world at large generally does, and of their capacity to deqelop their resources, with aid and encouragement from outside. I felt that the development must come soon,and the country furnishing the means would re ceive the greatest benefit from the in creased commerce. I wanted it to be ours. Besides, we want to encourage republican government, and particularly on this continent. Then, too, it is an advantage for us to pay for our imports with the products of our soil and manufactures as far as possible. This we do not now with countries from which we receive tropical and semi-tropical products. Mexico can furnish all these commodities, and will want in return what we have to sell."

This is an epitome of Graut's Mexican policy, and it seeme to me full of farreaching political wisdom and large patriotic views. It shows, too, how his mind look in the widest purposes and most various aims for this same letter contains comment on the administration of Garfield that indicate how keenl/ Grant resented the conduct of the government toward himself and his political friends. But just as he turned in the moment of defeat at Chicago to the consideration of the resources of the country at the West, so while suffering what he considered slights and rebuff at the hands of his successor, he was devising a great interna tional scheme to exchange benefits and productions with the neighboring re pnblic and later, at the very moment when another administration refused his applications, he nevertheless accepted an appointment under it, for the sake of advancing the same enterprise. Grant had all the feelings and passions of other men he was sore under defeat and indignant at what he considered injustice but he put aside these feelings for the

"Good-toy, John."

This may not be a trne story, but it is interesting if true: "A Chicago minister, preaching on "The Immortality of the Soul," stepped to the front of the platform, and, leveling a finger at the congregation, said: "You may lose your wives and eet others you may lose your husbands and get others you may lose your horses and carriages and get others, but when you lose your souls it's good-by, John!"

C. H. J. Taylor, the new minister to Liberia, is only thirty-two years old, and was bom in Alabama and studied law at Oberlin, Ohio.

HERE AND THERE

The editor of the Bockville Tribune interviewed Congressman Johnston upon his return from Washington, and publishes the following: "Tuesday morning we enjoyed a long talk with the Hon. Janies T. Johnston, who returned from Washington last Friday. He is in good health, in fact he has gone through the session remarkably well, considering the work he was compelled to do, an illustration of which we give to show that the life of a congressman, if he attends to business, is not all that of a sineenrist. He ieceived during the session 250 letters from persons having pension claims. On an average he wrote four letters to each of these claimants, and nearly all of his correspondence was done by himself Mrs. Johnston assisted hiaa all she could, but he gave most of the cases personal attention throughout. Therefore he wrote 1,000 letters to pen sioners alone", to say nothing of the innnmerabie wants and queries on other mat' ters constantly coming from his constituents. Mr. Johnson was at his room at work every night in the week, except occasionally on Saturday nights he would take his wife and daughter to the theater for the recreation thus afforded, and on

Friday nights when the house held sions he would be at his desk. He rarely got to bed before midnight and often worked until 2 o'clock in the morning.

All the business of constituents requires an immense amount of labor in the different departments, and a member must be continually "ding-donging" somebody at the head of 'them, for he hardly ever finds such a functuary ready to accommodate him on first application. The people near Mace wanted a change in the delivery of their mails, which conflicted with a rule of the department. Mr. Johnston called time after time and was put off first on one pretext and then another. Finally he went one day into the presence of^the head man it was early in the morning, about 9 o'clock—early for Washington— and after passing the usual salutations, asked the official if"he was very^ busy. On finding that he could spare a little of his valuable time, Mr. Johnston pulled off his overcoat, hnng up his hat and remarked "The session don't begin until 12 it's now a little after 9. I came here to have that business attended to and 1 ain't going away until its done!" So after a great amount of "monkeying" the route was finally established."

The Hon. John E. Lamb has returned from Washington. He left Washington Tuesday. He was in Cincinnati on Thursday and was interviewed. He also received an invitation to address a meet iug in Cincinnati on St. Patrick's night, He did not accept the invitation, however, coming to Indianapolis, where he again stopped ofl. An express reporter met Mr. Lamb this moroing. "How long do you expect to remain here,Mr. Lamb?" asked the reporter.

Mr. Lamb locked somewhat surprised and replied: "Why, I will be here all the time." "Then you are not to locate in Wash ington "No. I shall remain here." "It was stated that you were to enter into partnership with Mr. John Paul Jones in the claim agency business." "There is no truth in it. I went to Washington on certain private business and not with the intention of locating there."

Mr. Lamb did not seem to be inclined to be interviewed at any great length. "Hello, John, how are you?" said some friend as he poked Mr. Lamb with his cane and shook hands with him. Many stopped to welcome his return. To one inquiry Mr. Lamb said that he didn't have much to do now but to talk to newspaper men.

There was considerable delay in open ing the Robeson & Crane performance at the Opera house. The audience sat for three quarters of an hour with great patience awaiting the rise of the curtain. It was stated yesterday that manager of the company refused to put up the gcenery which is carried by the troupe. Mr. Nay lor insisted that it should be used. The manager made the plea that it would delay the performance greatly and that the stage was not large enough. The appearance of Robeeon & Crane w.as announced here with magnificent scenery. Mr. Naylor demanded that it should be used inasmuch as it had been advertised. He would not be satisfied until part of the scenery which had not been brought up from the car at the depot was procured. This is given as the explanation of the cause of the delay. Had not the scenery been used, those in attendance would have been greatly disappointed, and there would have been far more com-

sake of patriotism or of large or noble plaints heard than_on account of the curMM Mnmin nnt Until naarlv a'aIaaW purposes just as after Garfield's nomination he supported with all the urgency of his nature the man who had taken the place he had himself expected and desired to fill.

To my mind there is a greater magnanimity in his course because it was so difficult. He deserves infinitely greater plaudits because he felt keenly and stifled his feelings than if he had been a block and insensible or indifferent to emotions or circumstances. But Grant was full of emotion when his own interests or passions or pride was concerned. His appetites were tierce, his temptations strong. If he rose sunerior to them he merits and will receive 9higher mead of praise. He was no block of wood or stone, or even marble no statue that could feel neither heat nor cold, but alive man, human to the core. If you tickled him, he would laugh if you pricked him, he would bleed. For such a man to subdue his emotions., to conquer his appetites, to master his passions, and perform the work that he achieved for his country and his time, was as much grand* than the dull performances of those who are not tempted, as humanity is greater than mechanism, or flesh and bloopthan wood or stone.

There is but little talk being indulged in at present regarding the athletic association. There have been quite a num ber of names attached to a subscription paper for stock in the new enterprise. When tbe scheme was first talked of there were many expressions of approval heard, and many expressed themselves as being willing to aid the enterprise financially. As the matter hB8 been carried forward to a greater or less extent it shonld not be allowed to die. It should be pushed forward and no doubt could be made a complete success. Perhaps one of the first steps that should be taken the present stage of the proceedings would be to call a meeting, elect officers and put the canvassing for subscriptions in the hands of a committee. Let a meeting be called if there is to be any further effort to organise the association.

iects pertaining to their work are discussed. •Than are kept on file in the library of the institution quite a large number of scientific periodicals. It would be impossible for any one student to examine all these periodicals, bnt for the purpose of getting as much out of them as possible, a certain periodical is assigned to one student and he prepares a resume of it which is submitted in "journal" meeting, and questions asked and discussed by the members of' the class.

All the meetings are under the direction of Prof. Mendenhall. The books and periodicals reviewed are in accordance with the capabilities of the class. The freshmen last reviewed some, Scientific Awi*""*"", the sophomores reeent patent office reports, and the higher classes much more difficult work. The boys are well pleased with the meetings and take a very lively interest in them. iA great amount of information is undoubtedly. gained In this way which otherwise would not be.

There has been a report current that the bottom was soon to drop out of insurance rates and that a lively and interesting war was to occur among the local agents. An Express reporter sought Mr. H. H. Boudinot yesterday and inquired whether or not there was any truth in the report. Mr. Boudinot replied that he did not think any such war was impending. He said that there had been some dispute between companies paying agents 20 per cent, and others paying 15 per cent. The matter, how ever, had been adjusted and there need be no trouble expected,

While speaking of insurance matters Mr. Boudinot said Terre Haute losses in the last four years had in his opinion been much larger than the insurance pud. There have occurred in this length of time quite a large number of expensive fires such as Clift, Williams & Co.'s planing mill, the distillery, New hart's hominy millB and other fires where large losses were paid. About $350,000 worth of property has been destroyed in four years. While there may not have been very many large losses, smaller fires being large in number aggregate a large amount.

The farmers of the county are evidently awakening to the fact mat more and better roads are needed in this county. There have been a number of roads suggested. Among them is the extension of the St. Mary's gravel road to a point on the Vermillion county line, and the graveling of the Paris road, advocated so strongly by Emory P. Beauchamp, The county commissioners Friday received a petition from residents of Nevins township for a new piece of road. The commissioners appointed the follow iag persons as viewers of the proposed road: Robert L. Black, James Crabb and Henry Evans. The commissioners also considered one other road matter. The viewers of a proposed road in Linton township filed a report which was adverse. The commissioners sustained the report.

Pugilists have figured conspicuously in police circles this week. The two principles in the fight down the river last year were in the hands of the law. Frank Trombley was called upon to answer the charge of assault and battery upon two occasions. Poor Tom Connelly is said to be insane and will probably be sent to the asylum at Indianapolis. Duffy, the slugger at present an occupant of the jail, and a miner, named Davis, came down here to do np the town and both got done up themselves. Duffy may be scientific with his fists, but when he wants to paint Terre Haute again he will be careful not to run against a man with a beer faucet.

Brazil is in the midst of a temperance agitation. The'Woman's Christian Tern perance Union are making things rather interesting for Bome of the saloonkeepers. One of the ladies at a recent meeting of the county commissioners appeared before the board and argued against renewing the license of a saloonkeepers. It is said that she presented the case very vigorously. The commissioners took the matter under advisement, and finally refused to renew his license. The ladies seem somewhat encouraged at what they consider a vie tory.

Smiles as a Means of Expression. Atlantic Monthly. In the first place there is the presentation smile of society. You are presented to a lady, who not only bows to show that Bhe puts herself at your feet, and perhaps gives her hand to show that she does not mean to pull hair or scratch (I still follow the doubtless correct evolutson theory of ceremonials), but she "smiles and smiles," to show that her mood is one of sweet amiability, and that you are, therefore, for the present, safe.

Then there is the pretty, pearly rippling laugh, with which your "nut brown" anecdote, which has been heard already twice this evening, is received. Here, certainly, there is no pent-up cascade of emotion that speaks for an outlet.
