WASIIINIITO.V , /O / } , , , Dec. 2. The death of
Major ( Jcnoral Pope of the regular army re
moves another principal llguro In an inter
esting cause celobro , that for many years
after It was apparently closed engaged pub
lic attention. When , nt the second battle
ot Bull Run In August , 160ttio ! confederate
armies under Lna mid Stonewall JacKson
outmaneuvercd and beat the union army
under Pope , ono of the union corps
commanders , Uoneral Flti John Porter ,
was trioa for dUobodleuceof order * , misbe
havior before the enemy , oto. A lull court
martial of thirteen general onicoru found
him guilty and ho was cashiered , This con-
touce , as is well known , is about the most
severe that can bo vlsltod upon o military
man , both because of the penalties and their
enduring character , Knr yours Porter was
before congress trying to get that sentence
sot aside. General I.ojrau , in tbo senate ,
\vus probablj bin ablest and bitterest oppo
nent , though it was alleged that Pope
furnished much of the data upon which
Logon woraod. For It was tacitly admitted
that Porter's reinstatement would reflect m
no light degree upon Popu himself. How
ever , after a light , wbioh for poriUionca
nnd tbo length of time occupied Is unpara-
lelod in the history of the army , Porter suc
ceeded. It appears to bo a sort ol
a homily upon tbo mutaolllr/ human
affairs that both Logunund Pope should now
bo quietly sleeping uudor tbo daisies , while
Porlor is an officer ou the retired list of tno
army.
i am not sure that , the proprietor of THE
BKE did not , accompany the party who wont
from Omaha to attend tbo mooting of tno
Society of the Army of the Tennessee at
Des Moincs , la. , in the autumn of lS7r > . Pope
made the most brilliant speech made during
the festivities of that occasion , though
Urant'b , on tlio subject of tlio public schools ,
made a greater sensation. Grant's was de
livered In the afternopn at the opera house ,
while Pope's was umdo in the even
ing at the Danquot. 1 remember that Giant ,
who was seated on the stage , arose ,
adjusted his glasses , took out a paper and
read his speech in a tone hardly uudiolo
even to Uioio sitting fn the front rows. It
was suid to bo the longest speech ho had
ox or made up to that time. POOP , on the
contrary , delivered his offhand , without
notes and with tlno oratorical elTeot. Ho uf-
terwarus gave the writer of those notes a
printed copy of this speech and explained
that it was n custom of his whenever bo
was to make n speech to nlways write it out
nnd commit it to memory. Ho never , so ho
said , attempted to matte a speech unless ab
solutely prepared and know exactly what
ho was going to sayBolltnat ) , who was
then Grant's secretary of war , was also
ptcscnt on tins occasion , nnd ns ho antici
pated belncr Iowa's next United Stale * senator
the speech ho was to muko was expected to
bo the oration of tbo hour. Whether it wus
because Pope's brilliant effort took tno wind
out ol hi ? sails , so to remark , or on account
of a severe cold , possibly by reason of both ,
tne secretary's ' sucoah disappointed hU
frlouds and felt fiat. By many it was
thought that his , failure on this occasion
caused him to bo unsuccessful lu the lutcr
nnd more important nmttor. At all events
the Iowa legislature elected Kirkwood or
some ono else , Uclhmm not even making n
good show at the election.
It wan In rngard to this fuilura nn the part
of Boiknap's friends that old 7ic\i \ Clumulor ,
tni-n seoro'lary of the Interior , propounded
this conundrum at Grant's next cabinet
meeting :
' Wliv , " nskod the irreverent veteran fiom
Michigan , "was Bolknan'H race for thn son-
atorsbip from Iowa Ilko bliairliii ; n plgi"
"Glvo it up Well , then , because thorn wus
a blanked sight of noise nntl mighty little
wooll"
Grant Is said to huvo laughed at this
rather rough bon mot till the tear * ran
down his choolts.
Grant had u good deal of dry humor la his
own composition. At tbo Dos Moinaa re
union nbovo referred to several officem were
acting in the cupac'ty of escorts of honor to
his carriage. Tuoy were standing around
tbo barouche wbon ho alighted. Just at
that moment a rather seedy looking veteran ,
full of patriotism and whisky , pushed ibo
officers nsldo and forced his way up to the
General nnd grabbed him by the
bund , saying , "Why , general , 1'vo not
seen you since I saw you at the battle of
Sionenock ! " The gonorul shook the hand
in u perJunotory son of a way , at the snnio
time slyly remarking to the officers as UJ
passed , with the least appearance of a sur-
donlosmiio on his slolcal face : "I wasn't
there ! "
My recollections of this great man are
limited to the above mentioned occasion ,
several official visits at the War department
after his presidential terms hod expired , nnu
one evening at the white bouse during his
last term. General Crook and I had boou
invited to spend the evening , informally , at
the executive mansion. When wo arrived ,
in response to our cnnu , Mrs. Grant received
us and said that "Liss" would bo down in n
few minutes us the children had insisted
upon finishing a game of ouchor
In which lli'oy thought they had tbo great
general beaten. Wo were not long waiting
wbon ho came , accompanied by bis llttlo
antagonists , who were hanging on cither
band and his coat tails , still discussing their
piiino of ouchor In tbo most lively manner.
All my previous ideas of bis importurabllity ,
his taciturnity , his stoicism and stern man
ner wore dliaipatoU by tils playful conduct
vltli those children and bis unrestrained
and genial good nature during the whole
evening. I dount if any of bis little com
panions were over (1 ( years of ago and yet
none of them were sent away. It was a de
lightful evening and none of bis great
achievements have over boon as attractive
to mo as was this irlunpia of him , when be
had surrendered to the baby hands that
seemed to hold his heart lu ttiolr childish
grasp.
