A Valuable Contribution to Contem- porancons History —Sherman's Memoirs — The Third Term ldea. tof the volume of “Recollections’ st published by George W. Childs will be read with greater interest than that which rolates to General Grant, Few men enjoyed such intimacy with the great commander as did Mr. Childs. Sustaining this intimate relation Mr. Childs was in a position to form a just and thorough estimate of his character and the reading public is again placed under obligation to this good and eminent man for this valuable contribution te contemporaneous history General Grant, writes Mr. Child's, was one trucst and most congenial friends I We first met in 1 fler the sburg. The General and Mrs, ant had come to Philadelphia to make ar- 'nts to put their children at school in N.J. From that time until his death our intimacy grew. In his life three fes were couspicuously revealed—jus- kindness and firmness. 1 Grant juently for more than twenty years, I had abundant oppor- tunity to notico these qualities, We lived at Long Branch on adjoining properties, on the same land, without any division, and I sy say there never was aday when we were together there on which either I was not in his house or he in mine. He would often come over and breakfast or dine with me, T never saw him in the field, thougn I cor- responded with him during the war, and wheneveran opportunity prosented itself he wonld come to Philadelphia for the purpose of seeing his family at Burlington, and would often stay with me, and in that way he made a great many friend hiat was us early 1 He always seemed to enjoy his visits here, as they gave him rest during the time he was in the army. These visits to Phila- delphia w rontinued after he became p ident. and he always found recreation and pleasire in them. General Grant was not an ardent_student, Barly in life he was somewhat of a nove 1o terly he read history, bi phy aud travels, He was a careful reader and remembered every thing he read. He was a great reader of newspapers, 1 | an in- cident which happened while we were at Loug Branch, just after General Sherman’s Memoir: 1 be Re ing to the work, I asked him if he read it. He said he had not had tin One of the persous present obsel y, geaeral, you won't find much in it about yourself Bherman doesn’t seem to think you were in the war.” The general said, I don't know; 1 have seen somoe ady ms, but Lam going to read it and judge the book for my- selt.” After he had read the work cavefully and 1 asked him what he thought of done me full jus- adit than I de ke would be e to tice. 1t has g serve, Any e that [ think She Logan, Blair, ang other volunt whom e call’s political generals, did their duty faithful in imputing motives to people.” General Sherman had sent to me the proof- sheets of that portion of his Memoirs re- lating to General Grant_before the book was published, and asked if I had any suggestions 0 make, and if I thought he had been just to the genoral. 1informed General Grant that I had read these proof-sheets and that T thought, 1s he did, that General Sherman had done him full justice. General Grant had the highest cpinion of General Sherman as a mil- man, and always entertained a great personal regard for him. He was always mwaguanimous, particularly to I Wy usso- clates. Ho was a man who rarely used the pronoin Tin couversation when speaking of is biitles, There is an amusmg little incident T re- call, apropos of a large painting of General She on his ““March to the Sea,” which en me more ¢ hese men hangs in the hall of my Long Branch house, | and which was painte man sits in frant of the tent, in a white shirt without coat or vest, The picture shows a mp-fire in front and the moonlight in the rear of the tents. The criticism of General Grant when he fiest saw it was, “That is all very fine it looks like Sherman ; but he never wor boiled shirt there I am sure.”” ¥ While living at Long Brauch few confede- rate officers who visited the place failed to eall upon General Grant. He was alwag: glad to sco them, and ho invars over with them the incidents and results of the w The general held in high estima- tion General Joseph 1. Johnston, and always spoke of him as one of the “very best of the thern generals, At oneof my dinners I <1 the pleasure of getting Johnston, Grant and Sheridan togethe Al Grant was staying with me in wJhiladclphia at the time of the Tilden and “Hayes campaign, and on the morning of the momentous day after the election, when the roeturns gave Tilden a majority of all the electors, he accompanied me to wy office. Aftera few moments an_eminent republican senator and one or two other leading republi cans walked in and they went over the re- turns. One of these leaders, notwithstand- ing the returns, said, “Hayoes is clected,” an opinion in which the others coincided. Gen- eral Grant hstened to them, but said nothing. Aftertney had settled the matter in their own minds, he said atlemen, it 1ooks to me as it Mr. Tilden is elected,” When the contention on this point took such bitterand angry form and excited so much b blood, the more conservative and the wiser men in congress, like Randall, G fleld. Abram S. Hewitt and Kasson in the house, and Edmunds, Bayard and Conkling i the senate, secing the necessity of adopt- ing some quiotivg and reassuring measures, begzun to consider what ultimately took form in the elector nission. About this time Gene Grant asked me to make him a visit. He had patriotically espoused the proposal for an mmicable adjustment of the threaten- fng dispute in practical farm, and warnly favored the idea of an eloctoral com- mission. When L got to the white house he said: *“This matteris very complicated and the people will not be satisfied unless some- thing is done in regard to it which will ap- peal i their seuse of Justice. Now,” he con- tinued, “I have thought of an' electoral commission, but tho leaders of the purty are opposed to it, which I am sorry tosee. They say that it an electoral commission is ap- ointed we might as well count in Mr, Tilden, would rather have Mr. Tilden than that the republicans should have a president who could be stigmatized as a fruud. If I were »s I wouldnot have the ofice unles: settled in some way ou his matter isopposed by publicans in the house and sen- ate aud throughout the country.” I nt invited several leading republican senators to dine with him, to meet and 12 got their view He said to me: «see the feeling here. I find them al- most universally opposed to anything like an electoral commission.” 1 named a leading democrat in the house (Hon, Samuel J. Ran- dall), who was one of the most prominent men in the country, & wan of large influence and of great integr of character, and whom it would be well to cee. 1 sent for Mr. Randall to come to the white house to soe me, and put the dilemma to him as follows: “lt very hard for the resident und very embarrassing to men on his own side that this matter does not seem to find favor with them, besides having demo- cratic opposition. Repuolicans think . they might as well count Tilden in as to a au electoral commission, but as the feeling hroughout the country demands ns honest a count of the votes as possible, this electoral commission ought o be appointed.” There Wwas every prospect thut the great majority of the democrats would ultimately supp the measuve, though chating and angry under what they appeared to regard as @ great wrong to them and to the country Iy, Randall was speaker of the house at the time, His language in reply made it manifest that he felt it his duty to exert in all proper ways his powerful influence for a eful adjustment. He was careful in vidently realized if an elec- mission was created by law that he, as presiding oficer of the house of representiv tives, would have to see, in part at least, that such law was faithfully carried out—a v Kauffmann, Sher- { H. Pri task which he exeouted with firmness amid an excited assembly. Genernl Grant, however, did send for Sena- tor Conkling and said with deep carnestness, “This matter is a serions one and the peoplo feel it very deeply. I think this electoral commission ought to be ap- pointed.” Conkling said, ‘“Mr. President, Mr. Morton" (who was then the acknowl- edgod leader of the senate) *‘is opposed to it and opposed to your efforts, but if you wi on carrfed 1 can lu‘lpl\)lln " “T wish it done Thereupon Mr. Conkling took hold of the measure and contributed his powerful aid in putting it through the senate, “ow persons not in public life understood at the time how near the country was to another civil war, andof course hiad no adequato_appreciation of the vital servic done by the statesimen named above, and by those of both parties who patriotically stood up in their snpp But the peril was im- ent and the people of the country owe to all of them a greav debt of _gratitide—and especinlly to Mess Randall, Edmunds, Conkling and General Grant General Patterson of Philadelphia had been an intimate friend of Jackson, and a life-long democr it for at that time by President € neral Patterson had lage estates south, and a great deal of influence w democrats. He was then upwards of but he went to Washington and remained or two weeks with President Grant, wor ing hard to accomplish the purpose in view, After the bill had passed and while it was awaiting his signature, General Grant went to a state fairin Maryland upon the day it should have been signed, and there 18 much perturbation phed by those inte Grant was absent, and that they were an ious about the signing. I replied they might consider the bill as good as signed. The president returned to Washington that night and put his name to the document. Just before General Grant started on his journey around the world he was spending some days with me, and at dinner with Mr. A J Dy , Colonel A, KK, McClure and m solf, he reviewed the contest o tion of the electoral commission v 3 and with andor. The chief significance of his view lay in the fact, as hestated it, that he expected from the beginning until the final judgment that the clectoral vote of Louisiana would be awarded to Tilden, He spoke of South Carolina and Oregon us justly belonging to Hayes, of I as reasonably doubtful, and of L General Grant acted in good faith th out the whole affair.

Tnis fact became lknown toa very glib- tongued individual n: N. C. Rundle, who seems 1o have lost very little time in striking erman for a deal, ug to some well-known citi- nd explaining his wants, Kahre pro- ded to listen with all possible assurance to Rundle, an utter stranger, e latter ited that he had two 160- acre farms laying side by side i Chase county county which were exceptionally well adapted for agricultural purposes, having a black, vich loam several fect thick. The strauger also said that there was a fine house on each farm, and with each wus team of horses, i harrows, ete,, ete. He said the land was worth §12 or $15 au acre, at the very lowest figures. Well, after a gre deal of talk, during which Kahre became more and more in- sely convinced that Rundle had just what he was looking for and that to trade was the chance of his life, Rundle surprised him by offering to trade both farms, including the houses, horses, wagons, ete., together with $00 cash, for the handsome property in Dupont Place. Kuhre couldn't make out the deed quickly enough. The §700 boot money wasn't forthcoming at :P:‘u (l?n-. but Kahre didn't wind a little thing ike that.
