It is intimated that some o
the friends of General Grant in
the senate will make a vigorous
effort to prevent the confirmation
of General Rosecrans as register
of the treasury. It is asserted by
them that General Rosecrans has
seized every opportunity before
and since the date of .General
Grant's death to give vent to his
personal grievances against him.
; Such conduct, they insist, is not
in good taste, and will justify
their opposition.
