General (bant and Expediency.
Something of the well known sterling
qualities of General Grant is disclosed in
the following interview with him published
in the last number of "Around the World
with General Grant," by John Russell
Young. It seems surprising that there
should he any serious objection among in
telligent people, to the nomination of a
man who has heed thoroughly tried and
has shown the most unusual honesty of
1 purpose, patriotism, firmness and sense.
It looks as if the friends of other candi
dates were using the "ThirdTerrn" cry as
a mere pretext, for lack of any substantial
objection. It, has no force, especially
where four years intervene between each
Presidential term. There is much more
point toan objection la two successive terms
which Washington approved, tfyan to a
thiod term now, to General Grant.
The interview referred to is as follows :
"I hear a great deal in polities about
expediency,' said the General one day.
"Theonly time I evordeliberately resolved
to do an expedient thing for party reasons,
against my own judgement, was on the
occasion of the expansion or inflation bill.
I never was so pressed in my life to do
anything as to sign that hill, never. It,
was represented to me that a veto would
destroy the Republican party in the West;
that the West and South would combine
and take the country, and agree upon some
worse plan of fiuauce; some plan that
would mean repudiation Morgan. Logan
and other men, friends whom I respected,
were eloquent in presenting this view. I
thought at last I would try and save the
party, and at the same time the credit of
the Nut ion from the evils of the bill. 1 re
solved to write a message, embodying
my own reasoning and some of the argu
ments that'had bean given me, to show
that the bill, as passed, did not mean ex
pansion or inflation, and that it need not
effect the country's credit. The message
was intended to sooth the East, and satis
fy the foreign holders of the bonds. 1
wrote the message with great care, and
put in every argument I could cull up to
show that the bill was harmless and
would not accomplish what its friends ex
pected from it.
Well, when I finished my wonderful
message, which was to do so much good
to the party and country, I had read it
over, and said to my self: "What is the.
good of all this? You do not believe it.
You know it is.not true." Throwing it,
aside, I did what I believed to lie right—
veto the hill! I could not,"said the Gener
al, smiling, "stand my own arguments.
While I was in tjiis mood—and it was an
anxious time with me, so anxious that 1
could'nt sleep at night, with mo a most
unusual circumstance—the ten days were
passing in which the President must sign
or veto a bill. On the ninth day I re
solved inflexibly to veto the bill and let
the storm come. I that ~I
would see no one, and went into the li
brary to write my message. Senator Ed
munds came to the White Hons" and said
he only wanted to say one word, lie
carne in looking very grave and anxious.
He said he wanted to speak of the infla
tion bfll, to implore me iiot to sign it. I
told him I was just writing a message
vetoing it. lie rose a happy man and
said that was all he wanted to say, and
left. When the Cabinet met, my message
was written. I did not. intend asking the
advice of the Cabinet, as I knew a ma
jority would oppose the veto. I neve al
lowed the Cabinet to interfere when my
mind was made up, and on this question it
was inflexibly made up. When the Cabi
net met, I said that I had considered the
inflation bill. I read my .first message,
the one in which I tried to,inake myself
and every one else believe 4th a A I knew
I was not true, the message which was to
j save the Republican party in the West,
and save the National credit in the East
and Europe. When I finished reading, I
said that as this reasoning had not satis
i fled rue, 1 had written another message. I
read the message of veto, saying that I
j had made up ray mind to send it in. This
! prevented a debate, which I did not want,
as the question had passed debate. There
was only one word changed, on the sug
gestion of Mr. Robeson. I said, if 1 rem
ember, that no 'patient medicine* scheme
of printed money would satisfy the hon
est sentiment of the country. Robeson
thought the "patent medicine" delusion
might be unnecessarily offensive to the
firiends of inflation. So I changed it, al
although 1 wish I had not. The country
might have accepted the word as a true
definition of the inflation scheme.
Riiyhic ANB* Kicks Rkoulatbd by Law.
—The fees which physicians may charge
in Prussia for their services is regulated
by law, and according to the most recent
ordinance. The charge for the lirst visit to
a sick person is fixed at two marks (25
cents standing for a rnaik), and one
mark for each subsequent visit ; where,
however, several persons belonging to
the same family and dwelling in the same
house have to be treated at the same
time, then, for the second and each suc
ceeding person, only the half of those
fees respectively Is to be charged—the
same rule is to apply to boarding schools
and similar institutions, also to prisons.
When there is a consultation of several
physicians about the treatment of a sick
person,,including their personal visits,
each physician is to receive for the tirst
consultation five marks, and three marks
for each subsequent similar consultat ion.
On the occasion df the first, visit to the
physician's residence for his medical ad
vice, one mark and a half. For the ad
ministration of chloroform, etc., when
necessary for the treatment of the patient,
three marks.
