An lattreatlnar Interview with the Pre !4en Elect II Speaka bis Mind What t ay 9t Svaibera ImptviZ: Meat. r" ik. touU Demoerat, Dee. 80. A distinguished clttsen of St. Louis, a profes sional' gentleman of reliable ludgrnent, has Just returned irom Washington, where be bud an Introduction to tbe President elect, and very pleasantly relate characteristics or tbe Inter view I bat go lar to exblblt tbe oler thought and tbe Independent Judgment of the man Wbom tbe people honor. We hope to hear from onr friend often, and present bis sketch tula morning nnder his own title of A HALF HOUB WITH GENEBAL GRANT. To the Editors of the Miwoorl Democrat: -It mj pood fortune this morning to spend a short time with the man to whom, more tHatt to an other, the ejee of the nation bti at present "roe headquarters of the armies of the United Blates ia an unassuming two story building, ferronly a private residence, d rcctly opposite the Navy Department. In company with a friend jour oomspondi-nt presentel hlms-lt, inquiring of an ordetly In '.he ball It the General vm in. Receiving au ntlirmatlve roply, oar cards were rent up. In a few moment we w ere requested to walk up stain to the General '!ri office Is a front room en the aeoond floor, about sixteen feel by eighteen. It ia oarpetel with an Ingram carpet of bright, onoerrui aolors ulvluit tbe room tbenlrofB psrlor ratner than that of a business ofllue. Tuere are two Windows In front aud one at oue aide By the aide window la a low desK for a member of bis SUIT Near it la a table about, at x feet Ion i. covered with piles and bund lea of official docu ment ail tied with tbe Inevitable red tape. Grant's desk acoujinon oHlcedesk Is between tbe front windows. A frame covered with sua peri (led maps and half a do.en chairs oomplote the furuliure. Wueu we entered the General was out. In a moment he entered by a side door. No one ecnld falltorecogulae mm Instantly. Tnollne aeDKca one seen everywhere are very like In deed Tbey do not 11 utter, us is usually tbe ease, neither do they make nlm younger than be realty appears. Tbe pictures we soe of John bob are noiUUe him; be Is much older, more wrinkled and carewoin than tuey represent aim. Not so, however, with Grant. Tne pic tures of the shops, the parlors, and cabins are atrialuEly true representations of the man. Oram's countenance is pale and lias an ex pression of sadness, lie bus a uotioeable stoop ot tne shoulders and walks with a hulUln salt. Be looks like a man burdened with o ire and anxiety, and as if it was by a strong effort f the will that he was benrlug tip against it, determined that be would not yield to it or be tle'was dressed In a plain suit of black, with nothing whatever about his person orofllueto ludtoaie his rank. Afier a cordial greeting he offered ns seats, and in a very eauy, familiar way entered into conversation. In a few nioineutB Hwnator was announced, with Judge. of Louisiana. "Ueneral," said the Heuator, "Jude Wished to see you a lew moments and consult viltb yon In regard to the Improvement of tbe levees of tbe Lower Mississippi. We wlHh tha Vailed Blates Government to endorse, ana ibm guarantee, tbe bjnds of lae Bute of LiiilNl.jua jor the restoration aud Improvement of the 1 hope the Government will rot do It," th Oeceral replied, with a quick, positive utter, anoe that was not only decisive and Unilon that sutjeel, but almost sUmutng. 'Bur, General." urged the Bouator "wo on'y w'sh tbe United S'aies t Indorse tun blinds. fo that we can sell the-m without a ruinous dW count, glvlrg the Uulied Stutts ample security for the enuie amount, o that It would be Impossible for the Government to lose a oe.it ia any emergency." Again uram quicaiy in'cuuuion, "j. never knew u government to become responsible for any amount that it did not ultiruataly have to jay. You now want the Indorsement of the bonds. If that Is given, yu will soon want tj legislate for the payment of tbe bonds." General," Bald the Senator, "you are too bard on us." 'While we are discussing on all sides," stld Grant, "how tne national dibt Is to be paid, I shall oppose any Increase of tbe national obli gations." 'Ills impossible to cultivate our lands "lu terpoted the Ben a tor. "Xue leeej are abso lately necessary." "I know all about tbe levees," he answered "I served in that country when a young into, and I bad something to do inytelf with the breaking of those levees." But," said the Judge, "millions of acres nf the test land In the world are subject to overflow." 'Let them overflow and let ibem stay uuier water," paid Urant,"untlltQelrownerdure will log that Northern men and Northern capital Bhould come In and protect and improve them. Northern men, with ample capital, are ready to make a garden ot your State, and you won't let them In it. Your large landholders are a nostlle to tbe fjnl ed Stales Uovermnentto-day aa they have ever been; and if that Govern ment should rebuild tbelr levees It would not change them a particle. I know no way the Uovernment cou'd have adopted for rebulldlag Ike leevts but to have confiscated the lands of those engaged In rebellion and used the pro ceeds to restore tbe country. Aa that was not done, nothing remains hut to set your negroes to work and Invite in and welcome Northern men." "General," aald tbe Judge, "the negroes won't work." "Won't work!" Grant qnletly replied. Thev'll work, if you'll pay them for It." ' 'Am I not right?" he added. "Is there not Braon a hostility to Northern men that it amounts, in most sections or tne (Stale, to a practical exclusion of them from the azrlculta ral Interests of tbe country? Is there not an iinwllliDKness to divide up tbe lands and sell In mall parcels to those who might Immigrate? and is there not a general tendency to secure the services of tbe negroes without prompt aud adequte compensation ?" "I must say," said tbe Judge, "that there Is more or less of truth in all tnetse points." "Then," said Grant, "1 think you will have to toiilld vonr own levees or wait unaer water nntil you are willing; men should come In who Will build them." Tbe above, tbongh not all that was said, gives the substance and spirit oi tne conversation. It abowB much more plainly than any state ment I have seen precisely where the i'resl ent elect now stands with reference to the Month. This conversation shows that whatever he may hereafter do, he now stands by bis past reoord. tit means that a citizen or the united Blates shall be recognized as suob. and seoured and protected in bis rights and privileges In verv State: that the freedom of tbelreedman aball be recognized aud his labor fairly com - penaateu; mat ine national obligations snail not be Increased, and that tbe promo ers of the late war at the Houtb shall not be aided by tbe (government in repairing tne damages ocoa aloned by tbe war. The result of tbe Interview waa a strong con vlctlon that Grant Is a radical In tbe most radi cal sense of the polltloal term; that all parties Worth and Booth would do wisely to recognize tbe faot and act aceordluiily. That he will fol low tbe course of Johnson and abandon the oartv that elected Mm. and to any extent lden tlfy himself with his enemies and opponents in tbe war, Is contrary to tbe character of the man aau bis present positive ana cieariy expressed convictions. Grant's manner is that of quiet ease, perfect elf- reliance, ana tne most positive convictions He expresses his ideas in short senteaoea and In a low tone or voice, Aituouga mere is a remarkable quietness In bis manner, there is at the tame lime maratsa poamveness or utter. anoe to inch a degiee indeed that one feels that thera Is verv little use In replvlnetoan adverse opinion. Though there was nothing approxi mating to rudeness, set mere was tnatnosltlve- Bess In bis first short response to the Louisiana Benator and Judge that left them neither heart nnr hnna to olead their cause further. It waa learly evident that what, they aald after that was In defente of themselves rather than with tbe hope of making an Impression on their andltor. Bnoh is Grant aa I saw him. Re 1b unchanged He Is as positive sod determined as ever. Whatever line of buttle be may fix upon, you may depend upon it he will still tight It out on wat tine. Latest Market by Trltft-rapb.
