GENERAL GRANT.
BT T11B RBV. H. KAPAt, D. D.
like the rent of the nation and thewotld,
T have studied General lrant, and woald be
lad to give others the r.- tilts of oar tbluking.
Th Great Captain, with U hie childlike sUa
plio't and freedom from pretension-, la a sotne
irhat mysterioaa character. TUe contrast lu
tween the grandear of his life an! the
modest of his deportment utterly mislead i
tome people and confaans others. Oa his act
ing aide, he 1m immenHe; on hia talking Bile,
Yery small. True greatness mast flul exprei
tton, and when grand deeds have given it
Btterauc.e, only profound DHtnres will under
stand them: for the masses of wen, and epe
ially for the ilnllow, the hero must expUm
himtelf in worda. Hut each an explanation
la weakness; it reveal egotism, an 1 there, ore,
In the highest greatness fs well-uigh impossi
ble. Grant will never write essays on his own
ampaigna, nor make speeches to illmtrite
the glory of hfs own careor. Posterity must
Btndy and history understand htm.
Tufa absenoe of Bpeeoh in Grant Is hardly
whit men call reticeuoe. Il-nloenoe, as usually
understood, carriea with a touch of art, anl is
consoious of an ulterior aim. A splendid
etstesman may be an orator of rare eloqtinnno,
and yet may be noted for retioenoe. With
him, it is cultivated as an element of strength.
He ia never silent for the want of something to
say. On the contrary, he holds bjuli, and
drowns, in the silence of hia owu mini, a
thousand brilliancies, because he knows that
much talk, even if fine, would mako him com
mon. Speech is his trade; it ia the sub it vice
and form of his deeds; there must, therefore,
be nothiBg little to disparage what is great,
but, as it were, a field of Blleuce, iu wuiou line
words shall be Bet in gorgeous clump.
In Grant there is a reticence which is a thinj
of nature. It is reticence of word, of face, of
action. It can hardly be said that he is care
ful about his words; but if he be, tlie deeper
truth is that nature was careful iu planning
Lim. lie never makes a striking remark,
either in pnblio or in private, in his letters or
in conversation, and he can well afford to be
without ambition in that direction. The dis
position to shine in this upbore is a Had d. fjct
in some otherwise great uieu. The time spent
in getting ready for a pun or a bon mot is
thrown away on a littleness, and the wish to
be fine in talk is itself a weakness. The ab
sence of this in Grant has, no doubt, damp
ened his popularity, for the fine sayings of n
pnblio man are the wiudows through whioh
the people suppose they look in upon his in
terior life. ilauy passages in Webster's
apeechefi, and msny wily sentences of llnnry
Clay and of President Lincoln, appear to be
of this sort. They are the ilowera that grow
Out of the fissures in the greit rock, or they
are the magnetism that makes the adamant
attractive. In Grant the rock is solid anl
bare, and tli3 attraction is a recondito element,
Strongly felt only by kindred sonls.
This is one reason why politicians have not
been more drawn to him. Especially djes
this ho:d of many distinguished radicals. It
was not to be expected that such men as
Horace Greeley ami Wendell Phillips, and
others of their sort, who.-e trade has been in
sharp talk, should become enthusiastic for
Grant. They had stirred up the nation with
tongue and pen; their powerful eloquence,
clothing their honest testimony against
slavery, had been in the highest degree effec
tive, and when their talk had culminated in
a successful war, they naturally sought a dis
tinctly pronounced man for a political leader.
Grant was not ready with a speech, or a letter,
and they looked upon hiui r olJly. Such una
Lave followed, not led public opinion in
Grant's support.
This reticence of the Great Captain extends
to hia appearanoe, to his face, to his gait, and,
indeed, to his whole manner. In Skiarunn, a
tall, wiry, mercurial man, with an unquiet
face, whose every lineament is iustiuot with
restless thought, the people see tlmlr
passions reflooteJ, ana snare the wild en
thusiasm before them. Sheridan, too, has aa
Inspiring person, The popular idea paints
bim as a great rider, ever mounted aud llyin;
the enemy on the wing before him; the tire iu
bis eye; the hot blood burning in hia cheeks;
and the wild rallying cry ringing from his
lips a very picture ot valorous, during, irre
sistible, daehing, patriotic force. Tiw thought
of him brings a hurrah into the throat. Not
so Grant. lls very person looks silent.
Hound, compact, shoit, his step equable aud
grave, hia eye steal)', its lire lying deeper
than the crowd sees, aud yet certainly there,
though in the coal rather than the blaze, his
forehead not high; hisbsard rigid, his unler
jaw piotrudiug, and giving a sort of hardness
to his expression, and that expression a kiud
of quiet, modest protest against speech the
people must fall back upon history for en
thusiasm, and shout rather upon conviction
and a sense of duty than from impulse.
But even in the sphere of action, we see in
Grant the same reticence, the same severe
self-restraint, though unconscious here as else
where, he is soiutenton one thing that the rest
ia ignored or perhaps utterly forgotten. Here
bis reticence, which may look like a defect
elsewhere, becomes the minister of genuine
strength a power of concentration. It grows
into a form of devotion to his country, so com
plete aa to become almost impersonal. A
striking example of this reticence in action
occurred in the writer's own preseuoe during
the war. I happened, on a certain day, to be
in the hall of the House of Representatives in
Washington, and, hearing my own name
called, I turned anl saw Mr. O dell, of Brook
lyn. He was with General Grant, who had
been summoned from the vicinity of Richmond
to give testimony before the Committee on the
Conduct of the War. To my great sur
prise, he stated that this was tin first tirns ha
bad ever visited the Capitol. He had been to
Washington a nnmber of times, on business
with the President and the War Department,
but kad never been iu the Capitol until called
there as a witness. The fact wa3 a most sin
gular one. The man whose fame wa3 filling
the civilized world, about whom Congress was
talking by the hour day alter day, who at that
moment was making a most wonderful epoch
in history, had ofttn been to Washington, bat
bad never entered the Capitol till now, and
even now only because called to the spot on
the business of the country. This seemed to
os a most striking instance of retinenoe in
action, and utter silencing of all demands of
curiosity and pleasure a power of keeping
the eye shut to all but one thing.
Another and moat beautiful example of the
Same thing is.seen in the u..at Captain's treat
ment of Sherman, when the "avernment
found it necessary to revoke the terms fu0n
to the Rebel General Johnston at the time of
bis surrender. Grant was despatched to North
Carolina to set aside what his brave but mis
taken lieutenant had done. He was now lifted
by suocess into the foremost position of the
World His steady foot had lust trodden out
the last epark of the mightiest rebellion on
record. If anything In the world could have
dated him and jarred hia equanimity, this
muet have done it. But he was perfeotly
Serene. As he had been magnanimous toward
the enemy, so now he was generons and fra
ternal toward his fellow-soldier. He did, In
deed, the needful thing, but hid hia own hand
and did It by Sherman himself. A different sort

spirit, arid, catching fire from thepub'io in liq
uation, or feigning to do so, would have
tdicwii his own personality iu the matter, and
humiliated the noble but miejulgiog soldier.
Still another illustration of this sublime rott
er nee in action was afljrded by a personal
conversation bewween the Great Captain and
the wiiterof thin article soon after the close
of the wr. Among otbr things said, we
ahked the General the question: "How did
you feel during the dreadful days of the bat
tleB of the Wilderness, when your men were
lulling iu such vast numbers, and the grouni
before you was contested with such stubborn
new f" Alter a panse, the sole answer wa-:
"I felt that we hud to go to Richmond."
The reply seemed to ignore philosophy, if not
generalship, and yet it contained the quintes
sence of both philosophy aud generalship. It
proved that he had fixed, bnyond the possi
bility of chanpe or of doubt, tlie aim anl eni
of the campaign; that there was no provision
for failure, nor conception of its possibility,
and that all parts of tne campaign, all plans,
all means were poitioiu of the one pathway to
Ri hniond.
That this wonderful power of self-abnega-lion,
atd of excluding from hia mind all but
tho one great object, l.iy at the root of Grant's
BuccesB, wo do nut doubt. We admit he ia ft
military gniiiue one of the most darin,' and
profound of all his'ory. His military learn
ing may be inferior to McUlellan's, and to that
of fifty others; but it is the characteristic of
genius to transcend the schools, anl to go
Mralght to its mark, in ignorance or in con
tempt of the old pui lis. Without attempting
to tit-tine that Bnbt.Io something called gni,
which hides itself in the very tissue of its own
creations, in the case of Grant it is clear to us
that his genius wrought in the overthrow of
the Rebellion by meaui of his power of self
restraint and concentration. The essential
condition of the succena of his genius was that
he should resolutely shut out everything ex
trantous aud sink himself bo deeply in his
own thoughts and abide so steadily in them,
that his whole plan, with the various aspects
and possibilities of the situation, might be
come, not a transient vhdou, but, aa it were,
a picture iu oil, in which he foresaw what he
and we afterward saw.
This peculiar power revealed itself in other
forms, quite as essential as the power itself.
Kvery citizen knows only too well how the
cause of the Union suffered in thi early part
of the war from dissensions among the chiefs
of the armies. Some of the generals seemed
quite as hostile to their brother officers a3 to
the Rebels themselves. Many a battle was
lost by this contemptible littleuess. No chief
had as yet appeared whose genius was com
niaiulirg or whose spirit was assimilatiug.
A man was wanting Urge enough to see that
one brain, however graud, was not
Sullicient for the terrible emergency; a
mau with insight into men sullicient to
enable Lim to make the brst selection of
comuiMiilers; a nun uot afraid to chouse the
best, when they weie found, leBt they should
be malts; and, in a word, a una genrirom
enough, and wngm'tio one ugh, and powerful
enough to fuse into unity with himself, an 1
arouud himself, and one with auother, the
commanders so selected. Grant precisely met
this want. He harmonized and uuited the
military intellect of the nation. Under him
and Sherman aud Thomas and Sheridan, and
their numerous .v a able subordinates, the
campaign became one. Grant gave the outline
hia mind aud luai t inspired it but gene
rous and confiding scope was given to the iu
dividuality of euch of his lieutenants. Be
tween him and his chief captains, history
records no shadow of jealousy, no moment
even of coldness. He found the heads of the
army iu a deadly wrangle, and made them a
harmonious family; ami, to this day, he and
Sherman tind Thomas and Shand.in are united
like "Damon" aud "Pythias." As their uum
is one, so their hearts are one.
During their campaign, there came a time
when Grant was camnl!! ,tn H ""'
neiore ivicnmond, and hia patience was even
more wonderful than his successes. Tnere ho
Bat during the long winter, and the nation
wat died end waited in breathless suaperse.
To many he seemed to have reached the end
of hia string and to be doiug nothing but
Euioke. Sherman was marching from Tennes
see to the ocean. AtUuca, Savaunah, Charles
ton fell; the world reouuded with Sliermau's
renown. He wus said to be greater than
(rant. Thomas was winning laurels in the
West, and Sheridan was appropriating the
hearts of the people by his exploits in the
valloy of the Shenaudo.h. Whut a terrible
thing it is to an ambitious soldier to be forgoU
ten 1 to stand on the loftiest eminence of cooi
maud, aud yet to see his laurels gliding, in pop
ular estimation, from his own brows to those
of his lieutenants 1 There are generald we
kuow of who, iu Grant's position at that time,
would have gone stark mad. They would
have rushed down South and snatched the
reins of the war-chariot from Sherman, or
taken possession of SheiiJan's charger in the
Valley, or of Thomas' position in the West,
or all three by turns, so aa to have their names
in print, aud to keep in advance of their too
aspiring and too successful subordinates. Bat
there eat Grant before Richmond, not green or
livid with jealousy, but radiant with joy.
Sherman and Sheridan and Thomas were his
own boys; their victories belonged to the firm,
and the grateful praises of the people, falling
on the heads of hia generals, were beautifully
completed by those of the man sitting idle
before Richmoud. But the Gret Captain was
in at the death. Appomattox, with Grant pre
siding, finished the lining climax of victories,
and the long pursued game fell at la3t into
the beg of the chief hunter.
The war has now been over for several
years, and Grant, the sort of stuff out of whom
the Old World civilizations make emperors
and autocrats, still continues oue of the most
moilest and simple of men. Indeed, it might
be doubted whether a thorough examination
of our whole population would not result in
declaring Grant to be the most notable exam
ple of modesty in the nation.
.And now, deficient ns Grant may be in the
lighter elements of popularity, it is clear that
he possesses all tlie nobler and profounder
attributes of strength. If his words have only
in a few instances pael into the talk of the
people, his great deeds have slowly but cer
tainly reached and mastered tl-ieir heart and
their judgment. The qualities that made hi:n
the great soldier of the age, that united
the jarring elements of military rule, are
such as tit men wisely and calmly to leal
and to govern in any and every Hphere of
public life.
