He had also been much annoyed at the use which had been made of his name by John Hogan, who has re sumed to state that Gen. Grant was 1 1- II. oally with the President, and on one iul. lar oodasion by Mr. Seward. He felt that it was, above all things,,desirahle for officers of the army to avoid participation in ordi. nary political conflicts. except it was their duty ra citisens to support only men who coul.il4ow a record of consistentloyalty. Whether-a man's sentiments were Johnspni an or iepublican, he said he felt that it was an' insult to any loyal man to ask him to vo,e fot any - candidate who was not a loyql man in 1861. In this connection, he said that, without expressing any views of his own' for or against. the Johnson policy, be yet felt it to be a mifortune for Mr. Johnson, that the advooates of his. policy in the States the'ough which he had just, passed-Missou ri, Illinois and Indiana-had put. on their ticket men who, in 1861 and '62, had been guilty of known disloyalty to the Govern. moat ; because (and Lhij was said in a very emphatte manner) he felt, that lo ask men whose sons had shed thqir blood for the Union to eote for men who had been dis. .loyal to it, was the greatest insult that could .be offered. Soutsern sen he could.make ilowances for, and-he could ride thebvh tho South and get out on a pfltfors and shake hands in frendehip with such men as Lee, Johnston or Forrest, beoaAse, thovgb they had been almost educated into aeces. aloe, they were now traiy honest and loyal in thir adherence to the Union, and wmri seeking.te Strengthen it.
