Grant tothe state- ment recently made by Gen, Adam Badeau, in the shape of “An Address tothe American People,” has been made public. ‘The document is voluml- ous and deals with Gen. Badeau’s statement para- graph by paragraph. With regard to the famous ‘Memorandum, dated February 7, 1885, and signed by U. 8. Grant, which Gen, Badeau says his coun- sel, Mr. W. H. Alexander, pronounced valid, but declared that it ‘Was most important that It should be made known to the family,Col. Grant comments im anything bat complimentary terms, WHOSE LAWYERS WERE THESE? As to the letter of March 4, 1885, in which Gen. Badeau was asked to disavow the authorship of ‘the “Memoirs,” a request which he declined, “first to the lawyers and then to Colonel Grant,” as the general alleged, Colonel Grant says: “The inti- mation here ts that these lat were men as Soclated with me and furthering ‘my wicked de ‘signs to deprive Badeau of his Just fame or his pecuniary compensation, whichever he esteems inost highty. ut in fact they were the same Messrs. Alexander & Green already referred to by Gen. Badean as his -loyal advisors.’ These gen- Uemen were also the attorneys of Messrs, Webster & Co., the publishers of the “Personal Memoirs.” Aud in drafting the letiers, which be refused Lo sign, they acted In the interests of their clients, the publishers, The necessary implica- tion also, that this letter of May 4 was written and given to Gen. Grant immediately after Badeau’s refusal to sign the letter drafted by Messrs. Alexander aud Green, is equally untrue. GEN. GRANT'S LAST LETTRR TO BADEAC. In relation to the letter which Gen. Badeau Wrote to Gen. Grant asking compensation at the Fate of $1,000 per month and 10 per cent of the Profits of the book, the answer to which was kis dismissal ina letter whieh Gen, Kadeau attributes | to Col, Grant, it being in his handwriting, with Gen, Grant's” autograph at. the end, Col Grant | says: “Gen. Badeau handed bis cruel letter of May? to Gen. Grant, on the day of its date, in Mrs, Grant’s presence, but _not in mine, and im- mediat | Gen. Grant read it, and’ when I came in was | agitated and trembling. He unlocked the drawer Of a bureau where he had placed it, and taking the letter out handed it to me, say > ‘Read this and tell me what you thing of it.’ Idid read it and said that J thought it despicable. My father then, without any su ‘tious from me, began to | write the answer with his own band, being so that he could not write more than afew without Stopping. He answered oue point | after another, and. gave me the sheets of his manuscript, and when he bad finished I copied them and read the copy to him, he directing changes and corrections” | WHY BADEAU DID NOT SUE. | General Badean’s statement that he refrained | trom sutag Mrs. Grant because it would interfere | with the sale of the book, 1s pronounced by Colonel | Grant to be the only truthful assertion In the “ad- | dress.” The assertion that Senator Conkling “with- | drew from the case because dissatisfied with the | Stand taken by General Grant's family,” he de- nounees as an “utterly Wanton misstatement,” de- | claging that the Senator was one of the dearest | friends of his father and for that reason, and be- | Cause of his g1 ability, Was the one lawyer to Whom bis mother would resort for advice In Ume oft need. Mr. Conkling, he said, agreed with Mr. lexander that the better way would be to give General Badeau money, provided he would make a statement disclaiming all joint authorship. He | Was in favor of giving him $7,500. Continuing, | Colonel Grant says: | _ “Mr. Conkling permits me to say that I said to him then wnat the correspondence discloses, that the question of the amount 1 be paid to Badeau Was bo factor in this discussion, the one consider ation never to be lost sight of being the vindica- Uon of my father from even the insinuation that | his book \ Snot lis own, When it became evi- dent, however, that nothing except ittigation and publicity through the press would satisfy the author of the ‘address,’ Mr. Conkling did not de- cline to ac nsel, for my mother considered that In view of his intimacy ‘vith the family that | neither he nor any of nis firm should appear.” At Mr. Conkling’s sugyestion Mr. Seward. Was ene gaged. Referring to General Baseau's statement to the refusal of Mrs. Grant and her family to criticise his book, “Grant in Peace,” Colonel Grapt says: “This ‘they expressly reftised to do, and frankly avowed thetr disapproval of the en: Ure performance. Mrs. Grant considered that General Badeau In these articies had been guilty of gross breaches of confidence and of unjustifiable ose famiites her hus band and herself had been brought into most. In- Umate relations, officially and personally, whom they regarded as friends and held in the Warmest esteem. | Neither she nor any of her family would undertake a revision when doing so would neces- sarily Imply u;on their part approval of a book considered @ violallion of the rela- tions of friendship and intimacy that they have \deavored lo preserve honorable and in- Violate THE FISH LETTER EXPLAINED. In explanation of General Budeau’scharge that General Grant had confessed to putting’ his name unwittingly to an important. document, Colone, | Grant says his father had held executive positions 1OF ali lils live, and had become accustomed to trusting largely to the good faith of subordinates. | With regard to the signature unwittingly made he says: “It is true that Mr. James D, Fish relied largely upon this letter to eseape conviction for his share of the frauds that wrecked the Marine Bank and the firm of Grant € Ward. But General Ka- deau does not call attention to the fact that his Present counsel were the counsel of Mr. Fish, that they Proposed to postpone criminal trial of” thelr client on account of General Grants condition, that the newspapers were tiled with ambiguous givings out. It was reserved for General Badeau to demonstrate conclusively that whatever Gen- eral Grant may have done unwittingly he has at least in one instance refused to put his name wit Ungly to a coutract When a shaineless proposition Was put before hita to derive pecuniary benent by umposing upon the puulic.” Appended to Colonel correspondence relativ Proposed settlen ment, Ainong the letters is one th which Colonel Grant deciares that a relative of General Badeau had publiciy declared at a dinner that Badeau,and not General Grant, Was the author of te book. - ‘es Why Congressman Scott Eats, From the Philadelphia Press, Congressman Wm, 1. Seott told a friend some time ago that the only use he had for eating was | togive hima chance to smoke a cigar afterward. ‘This 1s strikingly like an expression attributed to the late President Buchanan, who said he ikea a glassot whisky because {t made the ice-water taste 0 good, cott employs @ $10,000-a-rear cook to make his cigars enjoyable, and Mr. Buchanan's friends who went to the White House always found pleaty of fairly good seasoning for thelr ice- water.

Any dried frults, or bon bons, or small cakes are also set at first upon the table, as the idea is not to cover it with heavy Gishes; the plate at each place 1s not a soup piate, but a dinner plate, that may be either removed of left on for the next course.
