^*0feAR Sir : In yonr paper of yee'.erfr-tl*jr,
yoi have expressed n desire to beer
[the views of several gentlemen upon the
political condi'ion of (be country. I
find my name mentioned upon your list,
and proceed, without hesitation, lo reB
epond.
A* I bare never applied myself to
politics, Icaonot claim to speak to (he
wise statesmen of the country, who are
devoting ther energies to the solution of
the problem which agi:ares the public '
mind. 1 can only speak theplaiu, hon <
est conviclions of a soldier.
It can hardly be necessary, at this
late day, to enter into a discussion of
the matter that is nsuallv brought up in
arguing the proposed plan for reconstructing
tha Government. Indeed, I
think that many of theui are not peni
nent to the question.
The striking feature, and the one that ,
our people should keep in view, is that ,
are are a conquered people. Recogniz ,
iag ibis fact fairly and squarely, there is ,
bill one course left for wise men to pur ,
sue. Accept the terms that nre oflered
OS by the conquerors 1 There can he
no discredit to a conquered people for )
accepting (be conditions offered by their
conquerors. Nor is there any-occasion
for a feeling of humiliation. We have
made an honest, and I hope that I
might a*y a "creditable fight, hut we
have lost. Let us come forward, then, ,
and accept the ends involved in the
struggle. ' .
Our people earnestly desire that (he
constilu'ional Government shall be re
established, and the only means to ac
complisb this is, to comply with the re
2uirements of the recent Congressional
igislatiou.
It is said by mine that Congress will
, cot recive us even after wc have compli
ed with their -condition*. Jtut ( can |
find no sufficient reason for entertaining I
4ills proposition fi>r a moment. I can
not admit thai the representative men
of a great nation could make such a
pledge in bad faith. Admitting, how
ever, that there is such a mental ro?cr
alion, can that be any excuse for us in
failing to discharge our duly ! Let us
accept the te:ius, as we are in duty
bound to do, and if there is a lack of
good faith, let it be upon others.
I am, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant

Grant and Lee after the Surrender.*
Generals Grant, Otd and Sheridan,
with three or four staff officers each,
W.?t up to the court house, and of our
staff there went three, and a senior aid,
the chief of staff and the adjutant general.
The town consisted of about live
bouses, a tavern and a c<?)rt bouse, all
on one street, and that was boaided up
at one end to keep (he cows out. On
the right hand as we went in, was the
principal residence, owned by Mr. McLean,
and to bis house General Grant
<vras conducted to meet General Lee.?
At the fence the whole party dismounted,
and walking over a narrow grass

orderly, wjjo was holding Lis own as
well. General Gj-iyal Angered the house
with one or two of his slidf. and the rest
of us sat down on the piazza and waited.
Mr. McLean was out there, too,
but so much excited by liis appreciation
of passing events that he did not know
where his puntp was, or whether he had
any, or if not, couldn't tell us whether
there was a spring, in a moment Col
onel Babcock came out, smiling, whirl
ing his hat around his head once and
beckoned Generals Ord and Sheridan to
<cucne in. They walked the floor silent.

came out and signalized to his ordeily
to bridle his horse. While this was be

tba piazza ((we had all risen respectful]y
as he passed down) and looking over
' into#the valloy towards his army, smote
his band together several times in an
absent soil of tray, utterly unconscious of
the people ah ,ul him, and seoming to
see nothing till his horse was led in

*' My friends, 1 thank yon for yonr

1 he less gratifying. It'is your privilege,
not mine, to lake patlns a partisan
in the political action of the day.
Mv duty is'to see that every citizen of
Nor h and South Carolina has a full ,
and fair opportunity to vote as his
judgment and conscience may dictate.
This duty I shall endeavor to perform.
The colored raco in this country have
gained just praise for their admirable
conduct during the vrr, and pending
the recent agitation of their civil and
political enfranchisement. In my department
I can truly bear tes'imony to
your patient forbearance. When sorely
provoked to ve'aliate by cruel acts of
violence and humiliation, you have
borne yourselves with unfaltering con
iideuce. The Jar of your deliverance
was not -distant. [Cheers.] Let. ms i
enjoin upon you all in this hour of) <fur
success, perseverance in well doing.? <
You are now citizens of the republic.
Remember that the strength of the na- <
lion lies in the virtue, industry, loyally |
and courage of its citizens. You must <
trv andf-?vindicate -the hopes of your i
f. iend-, and repel the forebodings of the i
sceptical by proving yourselves wot thy
of the privileges to which you hate ,
been admitted. ^Applau^e] When- ,
ever any large addition has bean made |
to the voters of a Suite, the sanio ap- \
prehension's have been expressed that ,
are now heard with-reference to vour
selves. Those already enfranchised are |
easily alarmed at any considerable i
change in the established order of ;
things. So fur. in this country, experience
has shown that union, lihertv and
power are safe in the baud* of those
w ho earn their bread hv the sweat-of .
