Why sock for lino or sentiment -
To pinch above her clay?
There isdm marble white enough
Her virtues to display.'
There is no language strong enough
Our sorrows to portray—
But the sacred name of Mother
Says nll that words can say,
And is the fullest tribute
That loving hearts can pay. ,
Then carve upon the tablet
That marks her place of rest,
The word we leariied to titter -
As we hung upon her breast,
And in that simple-utterance
Our fondest love expressed,
For the hallowed name of Mother
To us was truly blessed.
Then carve in enduring letters
The name we loved the best.
Gen. Grant's Testimony Before the
Impeachment Committee.
I have seen the President very fre
quently in reference to the condition of
affairs in the rebel States. When I
was asked to be at a Cabinet meeting,
it was because some question was up
in which, as general of the army, I was
interested. lum not aware of any in
terview with the President on amnes
ty. I have occasionally recommended
a person for amnesty. I thought my
selfat the time that there was no rea
son why because a person had risen to
the rank of a General he should be ex
cluded from amnesty any more than
one who had failed to reach that rank.
I spoke on that point. I did not see
much reason for the $20,000 clause.
These are the only two points that I
remember to have spoken of at the
time. I afterward, however, told hint
that I thought he was much nearer
right on the $'20,000 clause than I was.
I was present when the proclamation
was read in Cabinet, hut my views
Iv ore- not _ask ed, T meet. gay_e_a
opinion to the President that it would
be bettor at that time to issue a proc•
lamation of general amnesty.
I frequently had to intercede for
General Leo and other paroled officers,
on the ground that their parole, so
long as they obeyed the laws of the
United States, protected them from ar•
rest and trial. The President at that
time occupied exactly the same
grounds, viz: That they should be
tried and punished. no wanted to
know when the time would come that
they should be punished. I told him
not so long as they obeyed the laws
and complied with the stipulation.
That was the ground I took. It applied
to every ono who took the parole,
but that matter• was not canvassed ex
cept in ease of some of the leaders; I
claimed that in surrendering their ar
mies and arms they had done what
they could not all of them' have been
compelled to do, as a portion of them
could have escaped, but they surren•
dered in consideration of the fact that
they wore to be exempt from trial so long
as they conformed to the obligations
they had taken; and they were enti
tled to that; that is my view still; that
was my understanding of an arrange
ment which I gave voluntarily. Gen.
Lee's army was the first to surren
der, and I believed that with such
terms all the rebel armies would sur
render, and that we would thus avoid
bushwacki❑g and a continuation of the
war in a way that we would make
very little progress with, having no
organized armies to moot. I cor.sid
eyed that like terms were given to all
the armies that surrendered after that.
I will hero state that I am not quite
certain whether I am being tried or
who is being tried by the questions
asked. I have stated those views to
the President frequently, and, as I have
said, he disagreed with me in those
views. Ho insisted on it that the lead
ers must be punished, and wanted to
know when the time would come that
those persons could be tried. I told
him when they violated their parole.
I do not consider that that applied to
Jeff. Davis; ho did not take any pa
role. It applied to no person who was
captured, only to those who Ivens pa
reed. The President contended that
General Lee should he tried for treas
on.' I insisted on it that General Lee
would not have surrendered his army
and given up all their •arms if ho sup
posed that after surrendering ho was
going to be tried for treason and hang
ed. I thought he got a very good
equivalent for the lives of a few lead
ers in getting all their arms and get
ting themselves under control, bound
by their oaths to obey the laws. That
was the consideration 'which I insisted
upon we had received. The President
afterward got to agreeing with me on
that subject. I never claimed that the
parole gave these prisoners any politi
cal right whatever. I thought that
that was a matter entirely with Con
gress, over which I had no control;
that simply as a General-in-chief, com-
JAMES HIGGINS
dimp y
mending the army, I had a right to
stipulate for the surrender on terms
which protected their lives. This is
all I claimed. Tho parole gave thorn
protection and exemption from punish
ment for• all offenses not in violation of,
the rules of eivili4ed warfare so long as
their parole was kept. Mr: Johnson
scorned to .be anxiouS to get at the
leaders to punish them. le would say
that the leaders of the rebellion must
be punished, and that treason mast be
made odious. lle cared nothing for
the men in the ranks—rthe ()opinion
men. Speaking of the Arnnesty Proc.
larnation, I could not see any reason
why the fact of a volunteer rising to
the rank of a general shodld exclude

merit; I have given my opinion, per

do not think I - advised any course my
self, any more than that I was very
anxious to see something done to re
store civil governments in those States.
I have always been attentive to' my
own duties, and tried not to interfere

to originate matters pertaining to the
army, but I never wit, willing to orig
inate matters 'pertaining to Oa civil
government of-the United States; when
I was asked my opinion about what
had been done I was willing to give it;
I originated no plan. and suggested no
plan for civil government; -I only gave
my views on measures after they had
originated; I simply expressed an anx
iety that something should be done to
give some sort of control down there;
there were no governments there when
the war was over, and I wanted to see
some government established, and want
ted to see it done quickly; I did not
pretend to say how it should be dune,
or in what form. I will state here that
before Mr. Lincoln's assassination the
question about issuing a proclamation
of some sortind establishing some sort
of civil government there, was up, and
what was done then was continued
after Mr. Johnson came into office.
I have recommended for pardon GOD.

and Gen. Johnson. I was in favor of
the North Carolina proclamation giv
ing that State a governthent. I was
in favor of that or anything else which
looked to civil government until Con
gress could meet and establish govern
ments there • I did not want all chaos

anything or opposed to any-thing par.

willing to leave it to the civil depart
ment ask . ed no person• What I should
do in my duties; I was willing to take
all the responsibility and did not want
to give my views as to what the civil
branch of the Government should do;
I cannot say positively that I have
ever beard the President make any
remark in reference to the admission
of members of Congress from the Rebel
States; I have heard him say—and I
think I have board him say twice in
his speeches—that if the North carried
the elections by members enough to
give them, with the Southern mem
bers, a majority, why would they not
be the Congress of the United States.
I have heard him say that several
times. I • mean if the North carried
enough members in favor of ,the ad
mission of the South. I did not hear
him say that he would recognize them
us a Congress.• I merely heard •him
ask the question, "Why would they
not be the Congress ?" • I heard him
say that in ono or two speeches; do
not recollect where. The President
alluded to the subject of the legality of
Congress frequently on his tour to
Chicago and back lust slimmer. His
speeches were generally reported with
considerable accuracy; cannot recol
lect what he said except in general
terms, but I read his speeches at the
time, and they were reported with con
siderable accuracy.
I did not dissent from the North
Carolina plan of reconstruction, at the
meeting of the Cabinet in which it was
discussed. I did not intend to dictate
a plan. Ido not think I expressed any
opinion about it at the time; I looked
upon it simply as a temporary meas
ure until Congress should meet and
settle the whole question, and that it
did not make much difference how it
was done, so that there was a form of
government there; I think I was pros.
cut at the time by an invitation of
either the President or the Secretary
of War; I suppose t was free to express
my views; 1 suppose the object was
that I should express my views, if I
could suggest any change ; I do not
think I was asked my views; I know
that if I had been asked the question,
I would have assented to that or al
most anything else that would have
given stable government there; iu ref
erence to the opinion. I know it nev
er crossed my mind that what was be
ing done was anything more than tem
porary. I understand this to be the
view of the President and of every
body else. I did not know of any dif
ference oropinion on the subject. He
was very anxious to have Congress
ratify his views. Mr. Lincoln prior to
kris assassination had inaugurated a
policy intended to restore those gov
ernments. I was present once before
his murder when a plan was read. The
plan adopted by Mr. Johnson was sub
stantially the plan which had been in
augurated by Mr. Lincoln, as the basis
for his future action. I no not bnow
that it was verbatim the same.
