Soon after Henry Ward uVochor arrived in

tho Chronicle, who proceeded to interview tho
great preacher in the regular style. Wo quote
a part of tho conversation :
OUN. OIUNr.
"Yv, I um a Grant man, first, middle and
but. 1 alwayi have boon a Grant man. I
havo nover mvrivcd from that faith. I think
him to havo tho very gjuiu'i of common neiibo,
When called to potvur ho made the mistaken
natural to a man brought up in tho army. Ho
iindei took to manage the Government as if it
were un army. Liter in our history hu will be
looked back to ,ii one of our creatcst men. We
never had a Ireeident who wm not called a
scoundrel, and criticised ai imWcile, corrupt,
incortipctout, foolish, and everything cLtoj but
m toon im thoy were out of olllce, the clamor all
died out. Kilty years later they loomed up
on tho horizon as gtvat men, and people began
to maku pilgrimages to their tombs. I think it
will W tho samo way with Graut. I think ho
will yet W shown to W ono of tho wisest, and
on tho whole, meet sensible Prcsiib'uts wo hvu
ever hal."
I'lieaiPRNT ll.WKS.
"What do you think of President Hayv and
his policy!"
"Mr. Hayes seems to mo to W a most ex
cellent gentleman a man with tho very Wst
intentions, with a 'gn-at itwil of rpilet pvnu
tenco. bnt without that biu power of brain by
which ho can make bis will coerco tho will of
other men. I think that In a timo of company
tivo poaec, when there wero questions of only
ordinary importance to W settled, ho would
make a model President. He is uot for a timo
like this, when there aro eddies, and couilicts.
and tides; when it is necessary for a man, by
ioreu of disposition, to make other men do
right."
