"Daily Mlevien?" only 35 renin per

The following letter, which the Cincin
nati papers have unearthed and published
in connection with Gen. Grant's reception
in that city, shows his generous nature.
The letter was written to the father of its
author:
IIEADQUATKHS, ARMIES OF THK U. S. )
CITY POINT, Va., Dec. 20, 18G4. )
Dear Father:—Sherman has now de
monstrated his great capacity as a great
soldier by his unequalled campaign ,
through Georgia. 1 know him well as I
one of the greatest, purest and best of
men. He is poor and always will be.
But he is great and magnanimous—an
Ohioan, and I think entitled to their
greatest esteem and even benevolence.
Now, what I started to write about is
this: I am not acquainted sufficiently in
Cincinnati to select the right person to
write to to inaugurate a subscription to
present to Mrs. Sherman a comfortable,
furnished home. Cincinnati will always
be proud of Sherman as a citizen of that
city, and Ohio may well be proud of him.
If you can get this thing up put down for
me SSOO, and for General Ingalls {#2 so
more.
I have been the recipient of many favors
from the public, and will be happy if I
can call their attention to one of our
noblest, greatest, best men.
I hope you will see some of the lead
ing Union men in Cincinnati, all of whom
you arc acquainted with, and have this
thing put on foot without noise or parade.
Sherman would not approve of what I
am doing in this matter, but still he
would teel complimented, and would ap
preciate such recognition of his services.
Affectionately,
IT. S. GRANT,
Lieutenaut-General.
A large indignation meeting was held
in Bangor the other night, to discuss the
o trajje pe;\> Gated by Covcrm r and
C luucil. wh n Sen dor Hamlin, n ferriug
to the el dm of the Governor and Coun
cil that they acted under forms of law,
said:
"Jesus Christ was sacrificed under
forms of law. There has been no act of
oppression or crulty recorded in the pages
of history which has not been done under
forms of law. We want something more
than forms of law; we want to vindicate
the spirit of the law. The Governor and
his seven Councillors have, by their arbi
trary and unwarranted acts, reversed the
will of the other people, as expressed by
them through the ballot, and 1 want
to say to you what I believe to be the
duty of the citizens of Maine. Shun
every one of these men as you would a
pestilence! Make every one of them an
outcast and a wandering Jew! Point the
finger of scorn at them, as moral lepers,
covered with sores from head to foot."
Hamlin was applauded. Several other
speeches were made in the same strain.
Resolutions were adopted denoucing the
action of the Governor and Council.
A delegation of Cherokees are going to
Washington to collect money due them
by the Government, and to protest against
a territorial government. The tribes will
oppose the latter proposition, even to i
the employment of physical force.
Judge Person has fixed January 2 as
the day for the hearing of evidence on
the motion to quash the riotbribery in
dictments against A. W. Leisnring of;
Mauch Chunk.
The troubles in the First reformed l
Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg have
culminated in a free light, during which
several of the male members of the con
giegation were severely punched.
