General Grant on Contracts—Wilfft Man Dishonest in Private Transactions be Honest in His Public Official Conduct
We gave yesterday a letter from
Bowen of Washington City, in which he says that he intends to prosecute General Grant in the courts of that city, and has already commenced suit against him. An action brought by a citizen against the President of the United States, is a matter of public interest, and the people desire to know why this suit is brought, and the nature of it. In order that the readers of the
GAZETTE
In November, 1868, General Grant entered into a sealed contract with exMayor Bowen,
of

ess, ORHEES.
DANIEL W.VOC
the city of Washing
ton, agreeing to sell to him his residence on I street, which had been presented him by
A.T.Stewart, Moses H. Grin-
nell, Thomas Murphy, Gen. Butterfield, and other citizens of New York, as a future residence for himself and his family. The price named in the contract with Mr. Bowen was $40,000. This contract was duly recorded among the land re cords of the District, and will be found in Liber D. No. 7,folios 155.
The contract, as it appears on record, is dated November 27,1868,
by Kilbourn
of
and is signed
& Latta
as agents for Gen
eral U. S. Grant—by U. S.Granthimself, and by S. J. Bowen. On the contract
$65,000,
is
a receipt, duly signed and stamped, for $1,000, which appears to have been
paid
as "earnest money," on the signing of the paper. The contract goes on to
that for the sum
of
the
party of the first
This all seems to be regular,and an \honest man would suppose the contract binding on both parties. The price had been agreed on—the time of payments fixed—one thousand dollars paid down— the contract reduced to writing, and all properly recorded in the Recorder's office of the city of Washington. Common people would suppose this was conclusive, and that neither party could back out, or even attempt to, without dishonor. But it appears that the President of the United States looked upon the binding force of a written contract in an entirely different light. He seemed not to know that the laws of the Repulic rested with the same weight on him, as on the humblest citizen. Thinking, perhaps as the deed for the property had not yet been executed, he could, with impunity violate his contract, he assumed a military prerogative, and a few weeks after he had, with his own hand signed this contract with. ex-Mayor Bowen, actually did sell and convey this same property, for and in consideration of the sum
to
Geaeral Sher
man. It appears that General Butterfield (who was afterwardmade subTreasurer in New York), With some other gentlemen, conceived the idea of purchasing this property^' and giving it to General Sherman. So the $65,000 was made up, handed to General
Qr-ant, and lie
con
veyed the property to Sherman. When the news
of
this transaction came to
Bowen's ears, that gentleman was naturally indignant that the President should dispose of property which he (Bowen) had already purchased, without even having the grace to consult him, and after pocketing the $1,000 which he had already paid on the bargain. He had an interview with the President,and requested to know by. what a»th®rityJie had sold property which hg(Boweii) had purchased, and for which »contract of sale had been given. The President denied that the real estate

In this country we want no laws made for Irishmen, nor for Germans, nor for Frenchmen, nor for colored people, nor for any particular class or nationality. Here we are all citizens of the United States,standing before the law on terms of perfect equality and nothing could be more destructive to our peace and happiness as a people than the keeping up of any of these distinctions.

rights to the colored race, have left the old and corrupt organization, and are laboring to build up the liberal reform party on principles of truth, justice and integrity. When Horace Greeley was preparing his most powerful invectives against the institution
of
its concomitant evils,
THE T.
that the contract was
signed by the brokers—and
by him
personally, which Grant flatly
denied. Mr. Bowen answered this assertion I by taking the contract from his pocket and confronting him with his own signature. General Grant then took refuge in his favorite method of disposing of troublesome customers,—threw himself back in his chair, smoked, and remained silent. Mayor Bowen left the apartments in disgust, after informing the President-elect that,
he was mean
to violate his written agreement
and keep the money which had been paid to him to bind the contract, he could do so. Subsequently the President paid back the $1,000,
and offered Bowen
the control of the patronage of the District of Columbia as a compromise, which the latter refusedjto accept.
Thus the matter stands, and now Mr. Bowen says he is about to ccmmence suit against the President, and expects to recover demages againt him, to the full amount of damages sustained by reason of General Grant imperiously violating his contract.
Does it not seem that Bowen has a good cause against the President, and what can honest and honorable men think of a man, or of a President, who would thus forfeit his word and violate his bond? For the sum of $25,000., the President of the United States of America, refuses to comply with bis written contract, and in the most dictatorial manner defies the citizen, whose rights he has trampled under foot. Oesar when standing by the door of the Treasury of Home was asked for his authority to enter. Looking the interrogator full in the face, he laid his hand on his sword,and entered. The laws were silent, when men had arms in their hands. General Grant differs with the Great Koman only in this. In times of peace, he tramples the law of contracts under foot, and when confronted with it, quietly smokes his cigar and offers no other satisfaction, than that of a bribe.

this question propounded to
every reader of this article.
Present Attitudes of Parties. Editor Terrc Haute Gazette: It would be very unreasonable for the Democratic party, to expect support from colored citizens and voters. They know too well the opposition of that party in times past, to all the liberties and franchises now enjoyed by their race, and they, of course,naturally adhere to
W(net
oTganization-is the
be
both at home and abroad, to "be
recognized as free and independent citizens of the United States of America. Time was, when we used to hear that colored people had no rights that white people were bound to respect,but happily that day is past,neverItrust and believe to return again. From all these considerations, I have no doubt the colored voters will presently see that they should act independently of their nationality, and cast their votes and influence,not in a body on either side, but according to the deliberate judgment of each individual. By pursuing this course they wiU in time break dawn all prejudice against their race and secure the good will of all parties.
In the present posture of public affairs the colored people may very honestly differ as to which side they might best adhere
in
the political canvass we are
just entering upon. Whilst they may recognize good friends in the old Republican party they cannot be ignorant of the fact that very many of those gallant leaders who did most in breaking down the institution
of
slavery, and securing equal
slavery and all
U.S.
a
had
any authority to sign' such a coo-
& & to a W a
Grant was
voting aud rising his influence to perpetuate the institution for all time to come. As between Grant and Greeley, surely there can be no difficulty in choosing. But the Democrats and the white
in
people
the South are all, or nearly all, for Greeley and the Liberal party, and there is still a lingering fear that this coalition may mean mischief. These apprehensions are most reasonable, and do credit to the judgment and sound sense of the colored people but I think when they come to look at this matter in all its bearings, they will see that, whilst there need be no fear of any party depriving them of the rights they now enjoy, it may materially promote their peace and comfort to avoid identifying themselves entirely with either party. What I wish particularly to see, is, that all our people shall act as free and independent citizens, irrespective of former nationality or past party affiliations.

We have heretofore quoted from the LaCrosse Hepublican-Leader, jointly edited by the Assessor and Postmaster, the remark, in

of the situation
thereabouts, that "Buffalo county has got the [Greeley] disease pretty bad." The Portage JBegister, a Grant newspaper, gives further information, viz,:
We should say Buffalo county has "tfot the disease pretty badly" if the report of the last Alma Express is true, in which it figures 1,200 or 1,500 majority for Greeley, where Washburn had 650 majority last fall. AJl the Republican papers in-this county,-English and German, aresupport-
