Immediately nfler the bailie of "delmont, which set Cincinnati almost beside itself willi exoil om eut, and brought to Ks nuilee tor I he first Hine Urlgadler-General (J. S. Grant, lhere appeared uboul thc newspaper offices here n stalwart old man, armed wlUi a ponderous hickory stick, willi a battered sliver head. Clad In ttRult of rusty black, shinning along lu old fashioned high shoes, tied with leathern thongs, his head surmounted by an old, bat? tered hat, from under the rim ol" which there .peered M pair of deep-set, slrablsmlc eyes, as? sisted by a heavy pair of Hllver spectacles, there was nothing either remarkable or un? usual In his ap nea ru u ce to til I ra ct attention, or Impress tba buholdor that any extraordinary Individual stood before him among Hie crowd. Tho old man's eyes habitually sought Hie ground ; he never looked any one In tho face while ho spoke; but he was a good listen? er, and was always found lu the street cor? ner croups where the natue anil actions . ot General Grant were discussed. When . he spoke it was as "one having out hurl? ly," u certain scntcnllousncss of man? naor and emphatic self-assertion always characterizing his utterances. The Cincinnati papers commented rather severely upon the conductor General Grnnt nt the bailie or liol raoul, and repeated stories or his previous life, In all of which he was exhibited us under the Influence -.fdrink. It was positively asserted by buslnoss mon in Hie streets that before thc baltic of delmont General Grunt, then Colonel Mirant, was seen by them drunk, in the muddy by-ways of Cairo; and more than once the tele? graph from that interesting point came hissing Bot willi thu Binni. ltt*vlllgt*M??. 1, ?... ? ? custom in those days to read thc dispatches to tho surging crowds at the newpnper offices ns they were received, and lt was also customary to suppress a great deal that was received. When the news of Belmont was filling thc pub? lic ear, perhaps thc most at tentive listener was tho old gentleman with Ibo formidable stick, but as one account In which Grant, dismount? ed, waa celebrated OS running a race with Ills horse to got aboard one of the transports walt? ing to convey the routed troops to the oppo? site and safer shore of (he Ohio River, fell upon his quickened tympanum, he started suddenly - as if burned by a hot iron, mid screamed out : " It's a damned lie, and the mau that says so ls a liar, I don't care who he ls." All eyes were turned fur a moment upon the speaker. Ills face wad crimsoned with rage ; he clutched lils hickory with nervous li rm ne,-, und hull'brand? ishing ll. repented his asserl lon. Nobody eared, but ull were curious, and the old man saw his -opportunity and seized it. " I am Gram's mthor, and lt's a d-il lie," lie repeated. "I know all about bim ; he never was drunk In als life." JKSSB lt. ORAXT, TUE I'ltKSIDENT'S PATH BR. After this time there appeared scmi-occaslon ally in Ibo papers paragraphs slating that General Grant's luther said so and so, br that he was called upon nt his residence in Coving ion, Kentucky, by (his or that committee, or thal such and such facts were slated In a pr?? vale letter from General Grant to Ills father. Indeed, public Interest lu Die old man went so far, that Jenkins felt called upon, lo visit the paternal resilience of Hie Grants, mid describe the Inside und the outside of the plain brick ?ouse In that sleepy Kentucky town, dwelling willi lengthening fondness upon thu simple appointments of Hie bouse, and diluting willi critical enthusiasm upon the landscape pulul ? lngs and superb embroideries that adorned the welts and furniture, because (hey were the pro? duct of (Itu skill and Industry ol' Miss Jenny Grant. (Jp to this Hine, not moro was know:) of Jesse B. Grant In Covington than In Cincin? nati. He had come there quietly and settled down ; bought hides anil sent them to Galena, illinois, and dabbled a little In trade, bul at* itueted no attention. Thus nir.tirs whirled along lill after thc bat? tle of t?hlluh, for the conduct of which many Intelligent people here held Grant lo a bitter account. Tho Western newpapers were uu ttpariug of him, those ot this elly blaming him ia tho mont unequivocal terms. This rando M.r. Grant furious ; ho charged upon the newspa? per offices liku au Infuriated old bull, lils ocU Auertlon and unflinching purpose to put down ?opposition, lent a certain degree of weight to the vigorous old mao. His very words were valuable, for in closo business circles it wus ..whispered thai this and that citizen of Covlng >toa made money os a sutler to (hts or that regi? ment or brigade, on a recommendation from Mr. Granito his son, tho General. -HOW JB8SB lt. OI'K KATK I) IN MISSISSIPPI COTTON. Among tho first trades people of Cincinnati to utilize (he war, were tho children of Israel. Whllo thura were true patriots among them, th ero wero others who smuggled arms, uni? forms and medicines South; they Ulled fruit cans with whiskey, and sold lt in the Northern armies os fruit. '.Permits" wero Issued for trafile. Corinth was fought and won Rose eraos' star was bright, and his nollcc ngenls keen. Rumor hod it that Mrs. General Grain IBM detested coiiiiuutiicallng with friends In Mississippi, and certain loiters were Intercept? ed which gave color to tho story. General Grant wai ut .Jackson, Tennessee, and his father, uocom panted by Henry Mack, n liberal Jew, of cincinnati, was on his winding way down thu siniiuiH ohio, bound for Columbus, Kein ocky. Hie railroad point lo Corinth anti Jackson. Henry had "monlsh" aid Mr. Grnnt had ' hllliienov." Cotton was ripe and plenty, and sn muli -i oi-iied was thc "peculiar institu? tion" Dy tim jar ol' war np to that fall of 1802, that the uenulrut lng armies or tho North enjoy? ed thu wide-mouthed admiration of tho mlld eyed "Jleld nunds" as the dirt roads trav? ersing Northen Mississippi wera trodden ?ard by tbe bmu-conted hosts. Holly Springs was Ibu objecdvo point or tho cotton buyers, arpecr.lulors und I lile ves. One Colonel Dubois, oftho regular army, was in command of the post. A telegram was received froraCrlum Iriis, Kentucky, to the effect that General Grant's tallier was lhere, and wanted a pass .for him ie liam! four Jews to Holly Springs. Ono ..was sinil. fur self an I friend: and In due tl mu the di I g nile,nun, willi his friend, arrived, fhp J V.I ., ..| Hie C ninth region for cotton, .but Rosecrans was too much for them ; and they huid aloof until ho wai sent to the Depart tuvo lu- Cumberland. Kverythlng thal .could throw discredit or Ignominy upon his nd iuiuiojra..jii, MM done by his successor to thu commumi of ihe loll wing of tho army of thc Mississippi, Hrlgudler-Geiierul C. S. Hamilton ; And prominent among his actions was tho ap? pointment of ono Colonel Murphy, of Wiscon? sin, to (bo command of Holly Springs, us n reboko to Rosecrans for reprimanding that ?kulklog rascal for abandoning loka, and leaving thc government properly lhere to be destroyed by ahamirulorrnldvi\s. Thu appoint , mont waa nWo prompted by Ihn luther ol" Gen? eral (Irani, because Colonel Dubois was In . Imlcal io Jews; ho was. In met, the au? thor or thwfamons order against Jews. Un t der tho ride of Murphy, thrifty old Mr. tirant remained In Holly Springst buying ? ot ' ton or seeing ll done by his Hebrew friends. The pin ions libre accumulated. There was probably three millions (d' dol?ais' worth lune: " un re awaiting shipment, but not a pound otu saw tho North. Van Dorn came, und Murphy .' Iel him Illira lt all. and willi il disappeared thc ! Ilrst grill old Mr. Kraut had on a big pile of money during tho war. This Atc! cam? lo light through a suit Hie okii gentleman bioughl in Hie Cincinnati courts against Henry Mack, for breach or contract. In which he claimed dama? ges amount lug lo forty thousand dollars. This affair became so notorious, and attracted so much guttural intention, thal It renched the ears or General Grunt; and as the Bull would certainly involve the disclosure ol' nil the cir? cumstances surrounding, and making up the special permit of Henry Mack, procured through Mr. Grant, to trade in Mississippi, Hie General deemed lt hesl to put a stop io the business, and, it ls said, peremptorily ordered his rather to withdraw I lie suit, and he obeyed. Mack avows to this day that lie lost thirty-six thousand dollars, through his connection with Mr. Grunt ; this the old gentleman denies, and thus thu matter stands between them. TIIK PRESIDENT'S FATHER AS A POLITICIAN. In Hie victory-crowning year 18Gi>, Mr. Grant became a special object ol' Interest with ward, elly, Slate timi national politicians. Ile was sought and cou ted on every hand, and, to do credit to his heart, was always found amiable and compliant in attending 'public meetings and the like. Il seems wisc unto the citizens ol Ciiiclnimtli to celebrate Hie national holi? day ot'that rear In n beautiful grove a few miles from tile city, nnd thither trudged mid rode the thousands to whom the Fourth of ?Inly ls glorious. Speeches were made, can? non Hied, and cheers sent up In good old fashioned style ; but to Hie assembled listeners and slght-seers nothing possessed more Inter? est limn Hie formal Introduction on the plat? form of Mr. and Mrs. Grant, Hie mther and mot her or Hie Lieutenant General. The old gentleman stood lt bravely. There was Iraeea ble on hts face and observable lu this manner a singular mixture of trepidation nnd assur? ance. He felt that u great duty was lo be per? formed, yet was uncertain how he should gel through with it; bul he came forward, anti, bending over thc rail in front ol Hie platform, addressed a few words of thanks and a few I li i nigh I s on Hie country to those Im? mediately in front. ".Mr. Ginni is not distinguished as a speaker In public : hm ills known thal he is a good talker, especially since Hie war, and on the occasion- lu question he was applauded into silence. From thal day he became, famous, for some of the speakers Illili ?Ml that lils son would be thc next Presi? dent of the United States. A newspaper re? porter willi n quizzical turn took him lu charge upon his return to Hie elly, and expended forty-five cunts in beer for thc luxury of hear? ing him repeat that his son Ulysses did not think of politics, had no notion'In the world or being President, but il'the people wanted bim, ol'course, as n matter of duty, he would consent. This was soon noised 'abroad, and Mr. Grunt was flattered and Inwued upon until lils head almost turned, ile was walled upon hy patriotic committees and ward committees during the political campaign of the full, and nt every meeting was duly and lbrmnlly Intro? duced lo lils fellow-citizens and fellow-country? men os the father ol' Hie hero of the war ! Ile now gave up Irade and his interest in Hie Galena tannery, and launched out boldly upon i he nea of politics. Railroads sent him free passes east ?nd west, and he travelled. If there, was a big military occasion, a patriot display or celebration of any kind, Hui old gen? tleman was on hand ; and while never known to place himsell in the hands of any particular individual, or even to put fori Ii any special claim, there waa Hint about him which seemed to say. "I um here, mid you must take care ol me. I am General Grant's father, and he may be President of the United Stales." Mr. Grant never offended nny one by declining lils per? sonal attentions. Hu always iiccptcd Invita? tions. In society lie gravely discussed politics, und sorrowfully shook lils head at Hie peculi? arities of Andy Johnson, who ne hesitated not lo say was u very unsafe niau to occupy thc Presidential chair. He now expressed* few opinions ot lils own, but usually delivered cer? tain political dicta as thu opinions of "my son Ulysses," and il ls pretty well understood thal . i. ... .... o*-....-. -?? -.-I ~r ....l"l/,"a rncni.nl lng inc rebel terms of capitulation as expressed hy Colonel Hillyer, an old member of his Stull' was really Intended ns a rebuke to his Tallier, whose garrulousness more than overbalance! the habitual silence of tho close-inoulhed son "Whot is your opinion ot negro suffrage, Mr Grant?" Inquired a pestiferous reporter, on? day, when Hie question engaged Hie pilbil? mind in Ohio. "Well, slr, my son Ulysse: says this is a while man's government, nu? I agree with him." When General Grant really came before UM country as the candidate lot* President, hi fattie- assumed nu importance and value no to lie underrated or skipped. Thero was ni gelling over tho fact that he lind intlucncc Happy thc man who could Hatter him Inti using lt for his friend. INFLUENCE OF THE FAT II EU WITH THE SON. When General Grant visits his relatives ii Covington he sojourns in thc Iiurnct House Cincinnati!, and passes thc greater part of lil lime nt his lather's house. On such occasion General Dent accompanies him, and, like ni engineer with lils hand on tho throttle valve sits in Hie front parlor or lolls about thc fron door to prevent ino General from being worrie? lo (lentil by visitors. Jesse keeps near "Uiys ??es." und' does all the talking. Deni ls fut nishctl willi a list of names tor c..inns-ion t. Hm presence. If Dent happens lo Ibrgcl om ol' the favored, or ls doubtful, he repeals I aloud and Jesse "hems," upon which Gcrbeni looks blank ami Invites I hu party lo walk li and take a seat. To thc unrecorded uufortti nates lhere ls the invariable reply: "Genera Grant is very much engaged now, but will b happy to sec you to-morrow." As soon ns ll was well understood that Gen eral Grant would bo President of thu Unltci Slates, the paternal Jesse set his lioiwe ii order. The carpet whs covered, nnd prenant linns made for receptions outside thu ordin?r circle. Prominent poll Iclans visited lb! house ?lally, mid took counsel from the faille of thu house of Grant. It was no Idle boas thai lie conlilgct an j tiling lie w anted ni Wash ington, fur when Urant became President who ever went there with Jesse's letter cann away happy. Tho Shinklcs, or Covington steamboat men, grew rich on contracts in adi (luring the war for vessels used around Vlcks burg iii Hie eventful campaign of l?G3. Jessi travelled up and down on their boals free, an? could "chalk thc hal" of any one, or nny nam ber, he pleased. The shin kies are devoted ti Jesse still, anti they visit him, and there an oilier than steamboat interests engaging th? attention or these capitalists. CASES WHERE TUE ISFI.UKXCE SHOWED. If anything wero wanting to provo that thi lather of the President lias I nfluence which lu turns to practical account, tho Intelligent ob server hos only to look at thc Ohio appoint me nts since tho 4th of March, 18C9. Since tim day Mr, Grant has been In the habit ofsendlni telegrams from ('inclininti to every member o Hie Cabinet, expressing his approbation o: disapprobation of this or that maller relating lo Hie government ofllces, In Ohio chiefly, bit extending occasionally his ulleutloii to' Ken tucky lind Indiana. As many ns six telegram! have been sent in n single day hy Jesse lo Mr Delano. Some of Hmso were requests, to al of which favorable replies were received. JESSE DEATH RCHENCK.

Calvin Thomas, ex-i'OBI master o Cincinnati, was, however, an exception to Un rule, and off went hin head. When lin hear? tho whetting of tb? nxu lie visited Jesse lt Covington, and found him dialed in lils ding little cubby-hole, lu Gio Covington poHofflcc poring over forms and signing postal blaniti piled on a shaky deal table. Thomas ls a thor otigh-golng business man, but when his oyci encountered Ibo stalwart figuro of tho fainoi of tho President crouched lu on old arm-chair als face indicating ano very amialilo mood and lila uncertain visuals strained through thc hoavy-rlmmod spectacles, ho paused before during to address lt. Now Jesse has a way ol neither seeing nor hearing anybodv or any? thing-when he don't happen lu feel htollued. Ho saw Thomas when ho entered, hut did not recognize him-ol' course not. Tho clerk understood tho case in a moment, and said : "Mr. (irani, this is Mr. Thomas, postmaster of I 'Minimal I." "Ali, glad to seo yor. Mr. Thomas !

Thomas sat down ami told tho old gentleman what hu hail hoard ol his contemplated re? moval, and oftlie appointment of Mr. Foulds, und expressed Iiis surprise nt any chango ho? ing modo.

Fact is, I was real mad 'bout that altair." Thomas saw tho hopelessness of tho case, and loft. JBS.SK IS OAREFUI. AIM UT IIIS DRINKS. Mr. Grant shuttles across the suspension bridge from Covington to Cinuinnnti two or throe limos a week, and always comos up Wal? nut street. Cause why : there ls n little drink? ing hole In thc wall near the river, kepi by n tin lily Gorman hy the name of Metzler, mid Hie dispenser of o'lllce, high and low, invari? ably calls there for his "butors" before coming up town. He always drinks nlono, except when ho ls Invited, llefbro lie became no? torious, Metzler used to remark every Hine he lon his "groggory" that ho was tho meanest old sk I n Uh ii that drank ni lils har; hut hu found it- prudent to clinnge his regard to a respectful reticence, for tho sycophants tracked the venerable and solitary lover of "bitters" to Metzler's and spent money for "drinks nut zekars, tint dcm lings, as mooch ns ho never dil soo." All the cheap honors of thu street, invitations to drink, and Introductions to every dirty-handed plebeian, arc piontIfuly showered upon thc father of the Prosldeut, but ho never knows anybody the next lime ho meets bim. "This ls Mr. Grant. I believe. How do you do. Mr. Grnnl ? T had thc honor of an introduction to you by my friend Mr. So and So, yesterday, and I nm glad to meet you again, slr," says one of tho fawning plebs. "Ah, Jest so, Jest so, I forgot your name. Skuzc mc, Mr. Jones ; fact ls, I seo so many lolks. It's Uko my BOU Lysses, when he was In the army. Ho k newed all his soldiers, hut couldn't call thor names, ye know." JESSE 8A.VES UH MONEY-UK TAKES PRESENTS. "When my son U-lynes" (Hint U always hears auch an emphasis when mlttlury affairs arc spoken ol'; when lim old gentleman is coddling Hie name socially, lt is dropped, thus: "Lysscss" as though ll had been dipped in molasses, and Hie U had fallen In tho lug) - " When my son U-lysses was down to Vicks? burg, I know'd right away the damned news? papers would have to take everything hack they'd said agin him.

Anything, from a can of oysters, a Jar of pickles or a block of sonp, with bas-relief hoad of Ibo General on one Bide, to a sewing machine, cosy chair, cooking stovo or anything else useful or ornamental In a household, ls not declined. But whatever giving is done cannot he credited to Hie people of Covington; ns n people, they cordially de? spise tho father of thc President for lils Innate meanness, which, however, they did not open? ly complain of until he persisted in keeping thc post?nico in an Inconvenient and otit-ol thc-wny place, simply because he could save money by renting it.
