Though not hpeak- r Jug for tho public, no man was more rank in oxprexsiK M views on all nulilio matters. Ho was rais-cd in a W . , , , iti(.8 ,,,n ' His venera ble, father, m well known in Galena, was always an netivo and influential member of tho old Whip; party, audi after it went out of existence, of tho Hcpublican party. Tlio general wan always a Whig, so far as ho was a politician at all, and novor belonged to or had any bympathy at all with thu so-called Democrat lo party, Ho stated this as a fact. Had General (.rant been a member oftho Democratic-party ho would havo been in thu tamo posi tion as ho now is", and tho bitmo as all tho most loyal and patriotic, men who were in that party now occupy. Though not a voter in Illinois, in lfiiio, yet after Mr. Lincoln'- Administration commenced, and after tho firing upon Sumpter, thero was no man who gave a moro earnest support to that Admin juration. General Grant was amoi)' tho first to poinpiehcnd tho results that would grow out of tho rebellion, and tho country will not lorget miu as ear ly as 1HG3 ho wrote a letter saying that anions as ho was for peacfi bo did not wibb to eeo it established uutil slavery was wiped out. I n WW '' w pro foundly anxious for thp re-election of mnliml Mr, Lincoln, and no man moro fully comprcliondtxl tho great fact that upon his re-olectton hinged tho mtcccss of our causo and tho suppression of tlio rebellion. Ho ro fa,r departed from his' usual courso tit such matters as to writo and penult tlio publication of a letter in which ho briefly nnd emphatically summed up tho whole question. Tho letter was published by hundreds of thousands by tho Hcpublican Congres sional committee, and oxcrtcd great in tluenco iu tho country. Ho was opun ly and strongly for both tho constitu tional amendments, nnd ho hailed tho reconstruction act of tho Thirty-Ninth Congress ns tho solution ofourdifllcul ties, nnd ho entered upon the discharge of his dntics under that net with zeal, vigilance, and fidelity. Sympathizing with Congress in its action, and appre ciating tho importance of its being iu session, he urged and advised such no tion as would secure an extra session if necessary. When that ses'loit came he expressed tho most serious fear of thu effect of a long adjournment, and a far-reaching sagacity anticipating tho precise state of things that has occur red, he ucd all his influence with Sen ators to have them adopt tho House provision of the amended bill re quired tho assent of tho Senato to tho removal of tho district commnuders. Favoring the reconstruction act"-, no effort of Iil has been wanting toseeuro their enforcement iu thu letter and spirit, to the end that the Union might 1m speedily and fully restored. Ho be lieves there is no protection or safely to tho colored peoplo and tho loyal white people in tho rebel States except through impartial suffrage. The rccon rtniction nets having recognized thu entire equality of all American citizens in tho States lately iu rebellion, be bo lieves that consistency, as well ns im partial jutice, demands that thero hliould bo no discrimination against any class of persons iu any of tho States. His sympathies, bis convictions, nnd his hopes nro now, as tboy always have been, with thu great patriotic nud loy al peoplo that carried tho country through thu war. Hu is in favor of upholding tho honor and credit of tho National Government, and holds that all our obligations must bo discharged in conformity to tho terms on which they wore contracted. I lo thinks there Miouhl bo exercised by Congress, nud by nil departments ol tho Government, moro rigid and searching economy in tho expenditures of the publio monoy ; and wheruver ho has had control lie has struck oft' every useless oxpenso and reformed every abuso. General Grant occupies at tho present tho posi tion ns Secretary of War ail interim iu tho Cabinet of Mr. Johnson. His action iu accepting that position had been tho subject of u great deal of comment, uud excited tlio fears nf many good and loyal men. It invoked tho denuncia tion ol enemies and brought forth ex cuses of friends. Ho aceopted that po sition, not, as ias been alleged, in obe dience to the command ot u superior oflioer, but from tho stern scnooofduty to bis country. Tho President had de termined to""ro-uovu tho .Secretary of War at nil hazards, without oxouio or jiihtiuYatioii. Tho President thought to ivliovu himself from thu odium of .Mr. Stanton's removal and draw atten tion from that action by offering tho place to General Grant. What was tolsodonu? Should tho general step into tho shoe's of .Mr. Stanton, and wield all tho legitimate powers of (ho department iu aid of reconstruction uid in support of tho district commanders. In tho management of tho Indian war aud the supervision of war contracts, should ho bo thero to resist tho raid of tho thieves and plunderers and war claim agents whom Stanton hud hold at bay, and who wero waiting to thrust their arms into tho Treasury to filch untold millions of tho publio money)1 Or should ho rcfitse, and permit that .most important position to 1-p filled by u Copperhpad nud n Jplinspuman, wIiq would hinder reconstruction, who would doinqrilizo tho army, who would sanction fr-iudiileiitimd bogus claims of rcbois, and. bring roproaoh generally upon tho publio sorvice. Gonoral Grant did nut, tboreforo, hesitate to accept tho position and nil its responsibilities, NO. 43 nnd his action had tho concurrence of Mr. Stanton. Indeed, no steps worn taken in that wholo business except upon full consultation and understand ing between those two distinguished men under such circumstances. Thq loyal men of tho country would havo had good causo to censuro Gonoral Grant hnd ho refused tho position. Tlio very men who had censured him most for taking it would now havo been cen suring him for not taking it. Tjicy would havo said that, professing to bo in sympathy with loynl men and in favor of reconstruction, ho shrank from tho responsibility of n place offered to him in which ho could havo been of inestl niable service to tho country, nud by sucliTefusal tho War Department went into tho hands of an enemy. Uut tho general wants no other vindication for his action than will bo furnished by hi record when it Minll see tho light, and by his official act-). Ho can afford to wait. In conclusion Mr. Wnshburno s:tld ho was not speaking of General Grant as a candidate for the Presidency, for ho had no right to speak of him in that regard. Hu had siiokeu nshuhnd because so many of his fellow-citizens had asked him in relation to the posi tion tho general occupied on questions of tho most overwhelming publio im portance, and what were Ills views, sen timents and convictions touching mat ters in which all good citizens felt so deep an interest. .11 in Wolfe and tlm Tom Cats.

I know by tho sympathetic glow up on Ills Imlil head, I know by tho thoughtful look upon his face, I know by tho emotional Hush upon tho straw- berry on tho end of tho old free liver's nose, that Simon WhculerV memory was busy with tho olden time. And so I prepared to leave, because all these wero symptoms of a reminiscence signs that ho was going to be delivered of another of his tiresome personal ex periences -but I was too slow; he got tho stall of me. As ueuriy as lean recollect, tho iulllctlou wiih couched iu thu billowing manner: " Wo was all boy, then, nud didn't caro for nothing only bow to shirk school nnd kep up u ruilvin' statu ol devilment nil the time.

Ho was niueteon, ho wns, and long, and lank, and bashful, and wo was fifteen and sixteen, and tolerably lazy nnd worthless. "So, that night, you know, that my sister Mary gave tho candy pulliii'they started us off to bed early, so ns tho company could havo full swing, and wo rung in ou Jim to havo some fun, ''Our windor looked out onto tho roof of tho ell, and about ton o'clock a nouplo of old tout oats got to rairin' ami cliargin' around on it and carryin' pn liko hid. Thero was four inches of snow on tho roof, nnd, it was frozo so that thero was a right smart crust of ico on it, and tho moon was sliinln' bright, and wo could seo them eats liko daylight.
