GRANT THE WIDOWS OF THE TWO GREAT LEADERS First Become Acquainted-The Meeting Was Mutually Pleas ant-They WiU Meet Often. CRANSTON-ON-HUDSON, Juue 27. -Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant met for the first time" at West Point. Mrs. Davis was expected last Wednesday, but the hot weather detained her in -New York. She choose an ideal day for her trip to Cranstons. A delightful breeze was blowing and the . picturesque beauties , of the Hudson were dappled with fleeting cloud shadows. Mrs. Davis drove from the Mal borough hotel to the wharf of the steamboat Mary Powell, at Des brosses street, accompanied only by her maid. Her baggage had her ^ms on it in big black letters. -ThV^baggagemaster looJg^fflT came down-from the^saloon anc checked it.. During tie trip up tiie Hudson Mrs. Davis enjoyed the view from the side windows of the cabin. E. G. Martin, manager* of Cranstons hotel, met Mrs. Davis'with a car riage at the landing. She reached the hotel at about 5 p. m. Mrs. -Grant, who has beena*! Cranston for a few weeks, ap^/f there every year, was in ^tj^was | She knew that Mra-^ ?reet coming and w>p^ever> ext^ct her She^**^6 na<* intended to ^"p^^Sparlor to receive her. -^dfGrant went down to the par -^lor, but was told that Mrs. Davis had arrived a few minutes before and had 'gone to her room on the first floor. They are corner rooms and face the river. Mrs^ Grant's rooms are on the north side of the house, with the windows looking toward West Point. It may be a mere coincidence, but it is cer tainly a fae' that Mrs. Davis apart ments look south and Mrs. Grant's north. Mrs. Grant expressed disap ment when she found that she had . mi seed Mrs. Davis. She took the elevator and went to Mrs. Davis's room. She rapped gently on the door. Mrs. Davis opened it. She had laid aside her widow's bon net bordered with white niching. Mrs. Grant smiled and held out hand. "I am Mrs. Grant," she said. **I am very glad to meet you," said Mrs. Davis, placing her hand in Mrs. Grant's. Both women gazed at each other a minute. "Come in," said Mrs. Davis. . And the widow of the north and the widow of the Confederacy be gan to chat confidentially, The meeting was charming in its sim plicity. It was an idyllic rounding but of an h florie cycled and might be capped by the saying of the old Scotch lord when he walked away from the last of the Edin burgh parliaments, "Heigho, ho! -.bot this is the end of an auld fang." Mrs. Grant, and Mrs. Davie are rather under middle size, with kindly faces and blue eyes. They wore plain black dress?s. Both have soft, low voices with a sug gestion of trouble and trial in a little drooping turn of the inflec tion. "I am very sorry 4that I did not meet yon downstairs in the par lor," said Mrs. Grant to Mrs. )PRIETOR. Davie wh?n they sat down together and began to interchange kind words. "I am sorry that I missed you there and I intended to "greet you there. I am very happy to meet you." ; "It is very kind of you, indeed, to call on me. I am very glad to make your acquaintance," Mrs. Davis replied. "I hope I will meet you often during your stay here, and that your visit will be very pleasant and'that you will enjoy it."'. Then Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Davis shook hands again and bade each other goodby for a little while. Mrs. Grant, who takes her meals in the public dining-room, sat at a table with two West Point officers. Mrs. Davis came down to dinner later. After dinner Mrs. Grant went to the- parlor, where Mrs. Sherwood of New York was giving a reading. About the time that Mrs. Davis finished dinner Mrs. Grant and her friends went out to the piazza. . Mrs. Grant spoke of her meeting with Mrs. Davis. She was charm ed with it. She was charmed with it and delighted with Mrs. Davis. She could not help but think and talk of* old times. All around were the scenes familiar to Gen eral Grant and Mr. Davis long be fore the days of the blue and the gray. Mrs. Davis went to the piazza from the dining-room and joined Mrs. Grant and her friends. Mrs. Grant introduced her, and they talked together for a while, and when Mrs. Davis retired Mrs. Grant spoke most affectionately of her. . "She is a very noble looking lady," she said. "She looks a lit tle older than I expected. Lhave wanted to-meet her for a very long time, and I am very, glad that I have mot her. I hope we will meet every day while she stays here, and I am sure that our acquaint ance will be a very/pleasant one. l am very much impressed by Mrs. rDa^^ have at last had the pleasme of meeting her^ Mrs. Davis visits Cranstons fo; quiet ahd rest.

An Edgefield Baptist Preacher Meets and Discomfits Two Mormon Missionaries. Rev. N. G. Cooner in Baptist Couriers. It came about in this wise. The two Mormon Misstonaries of whom I gave notice in The Courier, some time ago, have been for some time oporatingin ihe southeastern part of Lexington county,preaching and distributing their literature among the people, so that many . have either openly avowed Mormonism, or openly sympathized with them. One Baptist church,Clay Spring, is much divided because of them. I also learn that sixteen members of the Antioch' Baptist church have been led astray by them. For some time I have been so engaged in other parts of the county as nit to' be able tc visit that part occupied by the Mormons. However, on the 4th Sunday in May, at Harmony Baptist church I preached a sermon on "Mormonism, its origin history and doctrine." - My toxt was Gal. 1: 8 Some, one will say my subject was a good way off from my text. Yes, about three thousand miles, way up in Utah. I got in, all the same. On the following Saturday I preached again on Mormonism at the Clay Springs church. For some cause this appointment had not been circulated, so I had only a few^out to hear me. On account of this I made another appointment about six* miles below this point, at Rish's Steam Mill,near the line of Orange burg, for the afternoon of the 2nd Saturday in June. On the'morning of the 2nd I preached at,Florcnce church,again paying my respects to the Mormons. I'then had twelve miles to drive to reach my appointment at Rish's Mill. On the way I learned to my r th ?i fV? Mormons had there at the same my prayers and \ with some trepida . nb cowarcLJaut I : You see I didn't^, would hit me; the ?ji be two to my.onfl.-_i sift sharp, oily folks- I^k^^ofcongide^ but wasj^r?ity? and coui? jf el^^?fdown furnish as much oil s would be necessary for the occasion. When I got there one of the Mormons was preaching; he was probably half through when I entered the house. I stop ped for a-minute at the door to survey the scene before- me. On the right of the chimney, sitting in a window,was one of the Elders, a little in front of him was the preacher, to the right of the preacher was a Mormon convert, with a large stick in his hand, "set for the defence of the saints." He had an idiotic look. The preacher from his manner re cognized me. I suppose he had been informed of my coming. He was right much disconcerted for a few minutes. These Elders are young men, hot exceeding twenty five years of age. The speaker was of foreign extraction, with about one-fourth Indian. The people call him "t?e brown one" to designate him from the other, who seems to be a white man. I took a seat and proceeded to measure the speaker's mental ability. He probably preached ten or fifteen minutes after I arrived. His style was dry, mechanical, and lifeless. He quoted the Commission in Mark 16: 15 18. He dwelt specially on the 17th and 18th verses-literally, of course. Another point he tried to impress was that the apostles were unlearned and ignorant men. By this time I had sized up my man. and I confess that not only my Baptist but my Carolina blood began to course fast through my veins. To think that two such ignorant fellows would come all the wny from Utah to convert South Carolina over to Mormonisr?. ! I began to buckle on tho gospel armor and to put on the Baptist war-paint ; and let me say here for the comfort and encouragement of others- in this State who are being troubled with these Mormon missionaries, for I learn there are eighteen of them in this State,and without seeming to be vainglorious that wnen thus arrayed, a Baptist is more terrible to a Mormon Elder than an army with banners. At the close of the sermon the preacher asked any who desiired to ask any question to do so. I arose and stated to the congre gation the objest of my presence, and if thev would indulge me for a short time I would pay my res pects to the "Latter day Saints." There was probably one hu people present, two-thirds of>. were Mormons or M sympathizers. I feel? s|? presence warded off what' have been a bloody cphfli? ^veen the Mormons and the: tiles. Indeed, after my tal drunken Mormon made an to raise a row. But Mor had been so completely*: thrown that this fellow irk* quieted and carried off advised moderation a violence on the part of th tiles. I walked to the iron: spoke to the Eldors, \thejr|pf ducing themselves as Mr/jDorn and Allen. I stood just tiT the right of the preacher, thelman with the stick 6tood at my .Lack. I said to the Mormons th? my remarks would be stripped personality. I was willi accord to them sincerity, o: pose in the advocacy or th? trines, and that what I h ad Jo say was; with a heartfelt delnpp'for their good as well as others" gave them them. the priv ask any question of me or t any point I might make ra|ainst them. I then, turning to- t?etcon gregati m, said that these come in their midst claiming^, that they were in possession ii, : ex traordinary powe;s, whicii >they do not possess-powers fo work miracles, suchas is spoken >f in Mark 16: 17,18.1 said thea! Sight to be the first to give an exhibition of their ability to do theser tings, and as we are .'commanded; |i> try the Spirits, I thought it and right that they shoi proof of this extraordinal claimed. Turning to them, "Sirs, this is a fair .proj Are you willing, before tl ~>.ncrqfinn. to swallow a_ vi to also ? to leny .just . .? .ii:.-. - . ^(*. . ? ? . " . . ?. ' :..

It'was born of the occasion. I had prayed that the Lord would be with me, and I felt his presence. My mind was never clearer ; I was never so ready at repartee. At the close of this discussion, which lasted for one hour and a half, there, were two sick-tooking Mormon Elders. To God be all the praise now and forever more. But,brethren,in all this there was some things very sad to mu. Why are these Mormon missionaries here? I will let a poor woman answer, who was duped by these Mormons. Some two weeks ago I stopped at a house to enquire the way. A woman came to the door, and we got into conversation about these 'Mormon Elders. I. asked, "How do you like the Mormon preachers?" She showed some hesitation in answering at first, but finally said: They preached the Bible." "Are you willing for your husband to have more than one wife?" "Yes ; if he wants them." "Why, you don't call that Bible doctrine?,' "Abra ham, Solomon, and David . had more than one wife." I had to acknowledge that she was correct. But showed it was not so by com mand of God, nor did Christ so teach. The woman became very interested in my talk ; came nearer to me and said, "Weil, sir, we had no one to, teach us." Brethern, this was the strongest appeal for State Missions I have ever heard. This is the reason the Mormons are here. A Mormon missionary is nothing more than a decoy trap to catch the ignorant and unsus pecting. Among the different breeds at the Columbian Fair is a herd of Kerry cows, a breed but little known here, but faj^us in Ireland. .

A LETTER IX WHICH HE DE PINES HIS POSITION On the Distribution of Federal Patronage in South Carolina, And if Not, Why Not. Spartanbnrg Herald. ? EDGEFIELD, S. C., June 23. Your editorial copied in The State of the 22nd inst, gives me the op portunity that I might otherwise not have had of replying to criti cisms made from time to time, touching my action in regard to the Federal appointments from this State. You say among other things "If Senator Butler desires to gi^e all his favors toTillmanites he should recognize those in good and regular standing." Again you say-"so far as we can see Senator Butler does not want the Conserva tives to support him. He seems to be depending, entirely upon his ability to "induce" enough men to desert his opponent." I assume of course, that you do not want to misrepresent me, but the above indicates very clearly that you are not informed as to what I have done and propose to do, about the Federal appoint ments. You. will therefore be good enough to allow me to state my position for myself and in my own way. In the first place, I had but one appointment to make in my own right, clerk of the inter-State com merce committee, of which I am chairman. I gave that to Dial C. Roper, of Marlboro, who had been strongly recommended to me by the Hon. C. S. McCall and other oiorKu, i nave selected young men who were struggling to complete their education and thereby afford them the opportunity offered by the business colleges and educa tional institutions in Washington. They have opportunity to do this, by availing themselves of time outside of the hours for their offi cial duties. It is a source of much gratification to me to know that in this way I have been able to aid six deserving 3roung men who availed themselves of the privilege to study in the best schools to which they would not have other wise had access. Mr. Roper is the seventh, and he too intends taking a course in a business college, which will be of much value to him when he haB completed it. So much for that,- the only appoint ment I have at my disposal. In regard to those appointments where my province is only advising, I have sought to know three things of applicants who have asked for my endorsement : 1st. Whether they are Demo crats. 2nd, whether they are qualified, and 3rd, whether they are persons of good character and standing. In the absence of personal knowledge we are sometimes mis led as to these qualifications, but I have not yet recommended a mau or woman, not: personally known to me, who has not been strongly endorsed by friends and neighbors at home. If, therefore, there should be any mistake, the first endorsers must be held responsible. In making my recommendations I have not stopped to inquire, and do not expect in the future to stop and inquire to what political faction in South Carolina the applicants be long. It is sufficient for me to know they are Democrats, are qualified, and of good character. If you can inform me of any case where I have departed from this rule I ehall be very much indebted, and promise upon a satisfactory showing to withdraw my endorse ments but I cannot do so upon vague andundnfiued insinuations. . You say I do not seem to want the support of. th? Conservatives. I want the support of every good man in bringing about a recon ciliation and better feeling among our people, but I do not want the support of any man who cannot give it freely and conscientiously. If it is expected of me, before I can be re-elected to the senate, that I shall enter into every local squabble and fan the flames of bitterness and bickerings which have brought so much humiliation upon the State, I shall have to dis appoint those who expect it, and if the penalty is to be defeat, I shall take defeat. I shall go ahead and do my duty to all the people as I see it, and if the manner of its performance is not acceptable to my friends, I can only regret it and take the conse-. quences. Neither my life nor hap piness depends upon my re-elec tion to the senate. In due time I shall give to the people who sent me there, an account of my stew ardship. I shall do this with frankness and without reserve, and if it is not satisfactory, the people can send some one to take my place. This is not only their right but their duty. The office does not belong to me, but to tho people, and they can and will make such disposition of it as they please my own conscience tells me I have tried to discharge my duty faithfully. I don't know what other people may think of it. Our people are unhappily di vided into something like hostile camps. Suspicion, misrepresenta tion,falsehood, and selfishness have taken the place of confidence, unity of purpose, self-denial, and State pride. My efforts shall be exerted to restore good feeling and confidence, to effect a more tolerant and forbearing spirit. No people can ever enjoy religious, social, or political freedom with the spirit of intolerance so rampant as that which prevails among us. We must learn to respect honest differences of opinion ; we must settle those differences in the forums of reason rather than in the spirit of vitu peration and abuse; we must throw off the thraldom of bossism, secret political cabals, smuggling A~?rMnsia nf rrnhlip, RfinfimAnt. anrl United States senate, me o tate can and will survive my defeat, and so will I. But she will not re cover for a generation from the de feat of the efforts of good men to bring about harmony and good feeling and good order among our people. Some of my friends expect me to recommend for office nr?ne but Conservatives. It does not seem to me that this would be wise. I recognize among the men of what is known as the reform faction, as good Democrats as any in the country, with qualifications and characters as good as the best. Many of the same men rode with me on the field of battle. OD the march I was by their side and they were by mme, in the terrible or deal of reconstruction and redemp tion of South Carolina. A feeling of comradeship grew up out of common trials and sufferings which nothing can wholly eradi cate. I cannot turn my back to these men simply because they see fit to exercise their highest priv ilege of differing with me, not in politics, but in policies. If they differ with me honestly in politics, I shall still respect their opinions. I have the same feeling for men what is known as the Conservative faction, and why should I not? There are as good, true, and tried men in that as in the other faction. You may say the State authorities do not recognize the Conservatives in State appoiutments. As a rule, I believe this is true, but it is not wise to follow a bad example. Nothing is to be gained in this in terest of harmony, which I assume all good and patriotic men desire, by imitating the methods of un patriotic and unwise men. I do not and cannot wear their collar. No clique or faction or ring has ever controlled me, and I am too far along in life DOW to bend my neck to their yoke. I do not claim to be more independent or infalli ble that ordinary mortals, but I do claim to have profited some what by oxperience which a good many men - are not willing to ad mit, aud I see- nothing but ruin and disgrace in the continuance of political strife between the white people of this State, and am ready to join in an honest effort to end it. Enlightened discussion of pub lic measures, and fair, just criti cism of public men is not only legitimate, but healthful and in structive. Political agitation, con ducted for patriotic purposes, pre vents stagnation and should be encouraged, but blustering intol erance, such as emanates from shallow pated intellects under the guise of popular leadership must necessarily lead to error, and alter nately to political degradation and ruin. I do not wiite this to you in any spirit of complaint or reproach for what you have said about me, but to define, as nearly as I can, my position in regard to the Federal appointments from this State. My publio record is public prop erty and as such liable to criticism. If I cannot explain satisfactorily to my constituents any and every official act I deserve to be con demned, Of course I shall be held responsible, measurably at least, by every applicant who fails to get an office for the failure, and this, too, in the face of the fact that I do not make the appointments, and however potential my influ ence with the appointing powex may be, the President has the lae : call and finally makes his own selection. This, however, ?B the fate of moat public men and I can not and do not expect to escape my share of responsibility. Very truly yours, M. C. BUTLER. The Bear Guard. New York Sun. _ ^ A General in cominanoT^may order a retreat to secure a strong line, or because he fears disater, or for several other reasons which might be termed good policy by a court of inquiry, but there is peril in any backward movement. So long as the lines are standing firm so long will men die bravely. Eveu if a wing is being beaten back and the fact is known in the centre, men still die with their faces to the foe. r *.- ~-v-r?? i*? ?n anomaly. i :%v"!.! mh cicvv?i It tor a retrongraae movement, and there is a panicky feeling observed at once. Have other corps been defeated? Has the enemy pierced the centre? Has the battle been lost? Men ask these questions of each other in cowardly whispers and within ten minutes four-fifths of the command are ready for flight. All veterans have ex perienced this sensation more than once, but no man can ex plain it. He was there to die To stay was to be killed. He could fear death only in running away. It wasn't that he was running away to save his life, but from some menace which he could feel and yet not understand. An army of 40.000 men bravely pushing ahead and feeling victory in the air will leave its dead at every wall and fence and creek and on every slope, and cheer and cheer as it pushes on. The same army, if withdrawn for any reason, wil be so worked up inside of half an hour that the bursting of a shell will break the formation of a whole brigade. Is is the rear guard a General looks to with deepest concern when compelled to withdraw in the face of the foe. It is the post of honor for some [one seeking death. It is the place of all to try the nerves of the oldest veterans. A defeated one is nervous and fearful. The rear guard steps in between the wolf and its prey. It must retreat, but it must fight as it falls back. There will be dead men. but they will not even be moved aside to escape the wheels. The wounded may be placed in the fence corners or dropped into the ditches, but there will be no time for gentleness. Here we swing into the main road, up which the last hurrying straggling company has dis appeared. There are a swamp and a long causeway between us and the ememy's advance. Up the road they are trying to save the wagon train. We must give them half an hour. First comes the ememy's cavalry. Our two guns are planted to sweep the narrow road, and never a man lives to get within pistol shot. Then he pushes forward a column of infantry. They fill the road and overflow in to the swamp, where ooze and water are hip deep. We shell them -we change to grape and canister -we fill the black waters, of the swamp with dead men. But there are 5,000 men forming that ,living moving wall-a thousand of us. They push forward their artillery. Their infantry creep forward from tree to tree and from bush to bush and we are driven. It is either retreat or annihilation. We leave our dead and wounded and fall back. The enemy cheers again as he advances, and we turn and fire and push on again. Here are wounded men sitting by the road side or lying at full length on the grass. Some raise up and hobble painfully along with us; others beg for water and fall to weeping. We cannot be burdened. We can not even be merciful. We are the rear guard-not here to save. a hundred, but thousands. At the foot of the hill are two broken wagons, an 'ambulance with a wheel off, a heap of knapsacks and muskets thrown away . by weary and fearful men ; half way up the hill nore abandoned wagons and two or three dying, horses ; at its crest a cassion and more spoils for the enemy. "Halt! Here we check them again !" The guns are planted and the infantry positioned, and we can see that the highway clear back to the swamp is a mass of moving men. Thirty to one perhaps, but we must fight. It is only when they overflow into the forest and field and are on our flanks that the guns are limbered up and we fall back. We have given them another heap of dead to bury more woundqd to care for ; -but. alas ! we dare not stop to count our own loss. Across a plain for half- a mile, past a farmhouse and its barns and orchard, and the highway turns to the .left and enters the forest. We halt at the turn. There is just time to draw" a long breath when the head of the wild beast, scenting our bloody footprints .. into - * ;r. shells scream ' tb" .?..'?*.? ty "."v. i ' reny and :c.-jrs. . ._ J and crack but wc caicos "tVi__ the tide. Even as we are ready to fall back one of our guns is dis monnted and we must help the horses draw away the other. There are more dead and wounded-only a skeleton command to stagger back and look for another positioL. Here the highway leaves the woods and ascends a strong hill. The afternoon has waned, and the sun is disappearing. Half way up the hill the last horse falls in his tracks and we drag the gun and its caisson up by hand. .It is our last stand. The army is safe and can ask no more of us. As we bind up each other's hurts we can hear the foe cheering down the road. Five minutes later the last shell is fired. There is no more grape no more canister. Gun and caisson are overturned into the ditch. We hold the hill for tenminutes with a fire of musketry which leaps up against the evening sky like a great bonfire and then there comes a sudden silence. We have the order to retreat. Leaving the wounded to curse and groan and - pray, leaving the dead to grow cold as the red sunset fades away and the stars come out," we glide away like shadows into the night, and like shadows are swallowed up and lost to view. We were fighting for night to come, lt is here. The pursuit is ended. In old times it seemed to be thought that a medicine must be nauseating to be effective. Now, all this is changed.
