Q" writs as fellows te tbe New Yerk Timt$ : Then M little doubt that Preal dat Cleveletid'a true character baa Im pressed Itaaif firmly and correctly upon ika salads of tha majority of hla country ceuntry awa; at leaet 11 eta be said that fair minded km et ell partlea generally think well of ths president personally aad rsoegnle hie heneaty, davotlea te dot and olvle oeurage. At the aame time it la doubtful If any pceeldent baa been ae baeely aad falsely accused by uouth-te-mouth calumny aa te hla psraenel character. Remera ea thle subject war auppeaad te have oeme te a audden close in the summer Just paat by outrageous publletty aad prompt denial ; but they have lately been revived sad spread abroad In s manner sad te an extent hitherto unknown In this country. They have again brought about publle dlsouaalen sad Immediate disproof. When I bear, as or lata 1 have se fre quently beard, detslls of alleged brutality aad unhapplneea in the White Heuse, I wleh that there wars some way of describ ing with proper delicacy the setual life that Is lived within these walla. It cannot new be deaa without a betrayal et hospitality ; but there are many who knew the truth, and one et these days It will be a part of history. It should aufflee te aay that It la all exactly tbe oppealte of what fa eharged ; that It la la every respect just what oeuld be wished by the geed people of this land ; that every net alleged te the contrary la totally and cruelly untrue and without foundation. New, all these rumors have a common bisls, namely : a total misapprehension, In certain minds, of tbe real obaraeter of the resident. He la net In any pirtleular tbe lad of person that hla detractera believe or pretend te believe. On the contrary, the president Is a temperate man, a man of oenaolenoe, of great klndnesaef heart and et manner, and, whlle capable of " right, eons wrath," et a genial and equable tem per. Tbe thing te me most attractive about the president personally la the moral atmos phere of the man. hia lefty and deveted vlewa and alma, Glroumstaneos have made me well acquainted wltb net a few ether publle men alnee the war, but, without Intending derogation of certain et them, I must aay that the president atrlkea me is remarkable and well-nigh unique for a eertaln moral fervor In hla vlewa et public aflalrs. The fact la that the "preeeher bleed " of the president has told In him mere and mere aahla publle and private responsibilities have loeieesed.
