CrxcofNATi, December 6.
Immediately after the battle ol' Belmont,
which set Cincinnati almost beside itself with
excitement, and brought to its notice lor the
first time Brigadier-General U. S. Grant, there
appeared about the newspaper offices here a
stalwart old man, armed with a ponderous
hickory stick, with a battered silver head.
- Clad In a suit of rusty black, shuttling along in
- old fashioned high shoes, ticA with leathern
-thongs, his head surmounted oy an old, bat?
tered hat, from under the rim of which there
peered a pair of deep-set, strabismic eyes, as?
sisted by a heavy pair of silver spectacles,
. there was no:hing either remarkable or un?
usual In his appearance to attract attention, or
Impress the beholder that any extraordinary
individual stood before him among the crowd.
'The old man's eyes baouually sought the
.ground ; he never looked any one In the face
while he spoke ; but he was a good listen?
er, and was always found In the street cor?
ner groups where the name and actions
.of Gtneral Grant were discussed. When
. .he spoke lt was as "one having authori?
ty," a certain sententlousness ol man
mer and emphatic self-assertion always
. characterizing his utterances. The Cincinnati
papers commented rather severely upon the
s .-conduct of General Grant at the battle of Bel
atont, and repeated stories of his previous life,
In all of which he'was exhibited as under the
Influence of drink. It was positively asserted
by business men in the streets that before the
battle of Belmont General Grant, then Colonel
Grant, was seen by them drunk, in the muddy
'by-ways of Cairo; and moro than once the tele
! graph from that interesting , jint came hissing
.not with the same intelligence. It was the
custom In those days to read the dispatches to
the surging crowds at the newpaper offices as
-they were received, and it was also customary
to suppress a great deal that was received.
r When the news of Belmont waa filling the pub?
lic ear, perhaps the most attentive listener was
the old gentleman with the formidable stick,
but as one account in which Grant, dismount?
ed, was celebrated as running a race with his
horse to get aboard one of the transports wait?
ing to convey the routed troops to the oppo?
site and safer shore of the Ohio River, fell upon
bis quickened tympanum, he started suddenly
. ss If burned by a hot iron, and screamed out :
44 It's a damned lie, and the man that says so is a
Uar, I don't care who he ls." All eyes were
turned for a moment upon the speaker. His
face was crimsoned with rage ; he clutched his
hickory with nervous firmness, and half brand?
ishing lt, repeated his assertion. Nobody cared,
but au were curious, and the oid man saw his
opportunity and seized lt 111 am Grant's
Xitner, and lt's a d-d He," he repeated. " I
know all about him ; he never was drunk in
*Is life."
JESSE R. GRANT, TBE PRESIDENT'S FATHER.
After this time there appeared serai-occaslon
slly in the papers paragraphs slating that
General Grant's father said so and so, or that
be was culled upon at his residence in Coving?
ton, Kentucky, oy this rr that committee, or
that such and such facts were stated In a pri?
vate letter from General Grant to his father.
Indeed, public interest In thc old man wenfaso
far, that Jenkins felt called upon to visit the
paternal residence of the Grants, and describe
the inside and the outside of the plain back
bouse in that sleepy Kentucky town, dwelling
with lengthening fondness upon the simple
appointments of thc house, and dilating with
critical enthusiasm upon the landscape paint?
ings and superb embroideries that adorned the
walls and furniture, because they were the pro
'ductoffhe skill and Industry of Miss Jenny
Grant. Up to this time, not more was known
of Jesse R. Grant In Covington than in Cincin?
nati. He had come there quietly and settled
. down ; bought hides and sent them to Galena,
.?.Illinois, and dabbled a little In trade, but at?
tracted no attention.
Thus affairs whirled along till after the bat?
tle of Shiloh, fo** the conduct of which many
intelligent people here held Grant to a bitter
account. The Western newpapers were un?
sparing of him, those ot this r'ty blaming him
in the most unequivocal erins. This made Mr.
Grant furious ; he charged upon the newspa?
per offices like an infuriated old bull. His self?
-assertion and unflinching purpose to put down
"opposition, lent a certain degree of weight to
thc vigorous old man. His very words were
valuable, for In close business circles lt was
whispered that this and that citizen of Coving- !
/ten made monev as a sutler to this or that reg!-' j
: meat or brigade, on a recommendation from
Mr. Grant to his son, the General.
?OW JES8E R. OPERATED IN* MISSISSIPPI COTTON. \
Among the first trades people of Cincinnati
to utlUze the war, were the children of Israel.
While there were true patriots among them,
i there were others who smuggled arms, uni?
forms aad medicines South; they filled fruit
cans with whiskey, and sold it In the Northern
armies os fruit. "Permits" were issued for
traffic. Corinth was fought and won. Rose?
crans' star was bright, and his Dottco agents
keen. Rumor had it that Mrs. General Grant
WAS detected communicating with friends in
Mississippi, and certain letters were intercept
ed which gave color to the story. General
Grant w.? at Jackson, Tennessee, and lils
Jather, act ompanled by Henry Mack, a liberal
Jew, of Cincinnati, was on his wiuding way
down the sinnous ohio, bound for Columbus.
Kentucky, the railroad point to Corinth and
Jackson. Henry had "monish" und Mr. (.'rant
bad- Influence." Cotton was ripe and plenty,
snd so undisturbed was the "peculiar institu?
tion" by the jar of war up to thal fail of 18C2,
that the penetral ing armies of the North enjoy?
ed the wide-mouthed admiration of the mild
.eyed "field nands" as the dirt roads trav?
ersing Northern Mississippi were trodden
bard by the blue-coated hosts. Holly 3prlngs
waa the objective point of the cotton buyers,
speculators and thieves. One Colonel Dubois,
of the regular army, was in command of the
post. A telegram was received from Colum
Zbus, Kearney, to the effect that General
Grant's lather was there, and wanted a pass
! for himself and four Jews to Holly Springs. One
\*s*rus sent for self and friend ; and in due time
the old gentleman, with bis friend, arrived.
Tho J . v- tri ni the C ninth region for cotton,
/brat Rosecrans was too much' for them ; and
'.thev.beid aloof u itll he was sent to the Depart
n,e.i ... nf Cumberland. Everything that
could throw discredit or ignominy upon bia ad
isli^ru.? is uoae by his successor to the
msssnsnd of the lert whig of the army of the
Mississippi, Brigadier-General C. 8. Hamilton;
and prominent among bis actions was the ap
?polnanent of one Colonel Murphy, of Wlscon
> JOH, to the command of Holly Springs, as a
Vrou'Ke to Rosecrans for reprimanding that
jA.ulk.ing rascal for abandoning laka, and
leaving the government property tl?
destroyed by a handfulbf raiders." Thh
ment was also prompted by the fathci
eral Grant; because Colonel DuboL

THE PRESIDENT'S FATHER AS A POUT
In the victory-crowning year 1866, Mi
became a special object of Interest witl
city, State and national politicians. 1
sought and cou ted on every hand, am
credit to his heart, was always found :
and compliant in attending public m
and the like. Il seems wise unto the
ot Cincinnatti to celebrate the nation
dav of that vearin a beautiful grovt
miles from tne city, and thither trudg
rode the thousands to whom the Foi
July is glorious. Speeches were mad
non fired, and cheers sent up in go
fashioned style ; but to the assembled li
and sight-seers nothing possessed mort
est than tho formal Introduction on th
form of Mr. and Mrs. Grant, the rath
mother of the Lieutenant General. T
gentleman stood it bravely. There was
ble on bis face and observable in this n
a singular mixture of trepidation and
ance. Ile felt that a great duty was to I
formed, yet was uncertain how he shoi
through with it ; but he came forward
bending over the rail in front ol thc pla
addressed a few v, ords of thanks and
thoughts on tho country to thos
mediately In front. Mr. Grant li
distinguished as a speaker In public 5 bi
known that he is a good talker, especially
thc war, and on the occasion in quest
was applauded Into silence. From Hu
he became famous, for some of the sp<
hinted that his son would be the next
dent of the United States. A newspaj
porter with a quizzical turn took him in c
upon his return to the city, and exp
forty-five cents in beer for the luxury ol
lng him repeat that his son Ulysses di
think of politics, hod no notion in thc
of being President, but li the people w
him, of course, as a matter of duty, he
consent. This was soon noised abroad
Mr. Grant was flattered and lawned upor
his head almost turned. He was waited
by patriotic committees and wurd comm
during the political campaign of thc full
at every meeting was duly ?nd formally 1
duced to his fellow-citizens and fellow-cot
men as the father of thc hero of the wai
now gave up trade and his interest In thc G
tannery, and launched out boldly upon Hi
of politics. Railroads sent him free j;
east and west, and he travelled. If t her
a big military occasion, a patriot disph
celebration of any kind, thc old
lleman was on hand ; and while never ki
to place himself In the hands of any part!
individual, or even to put forth any sj
claim, there was that about Inn. which sei
to say, "I am here, and you must take ce
me. I am General Grant's father. ?.ad he
be President of thc United Stab J." Mr. (
never offended any one by d' dining his
sonal attentions. He al wa's acepted In
Hons. In society he gravel > discussed pol
and sorrowfully shook hb head at the pt
arltles of Andy Johnson, who nc hesitated
to say was a very unsafe man to occupj
Presidential chair. He now expressed'
opinions ot his own, but usually delivered
tain political dicta as the opinions of "nu
Ulysses,'* and il ls pretty well understood
General Grant's disavowal of opinions re.s|

by Colonel Hillyer, an old member OTJiis 1

whose garrulousness moro than overbuilt,
the habitual silence of the close-mouthed
"What ls your opinion ot negro suffrage,
Grant?" Inquired a pestiferous reporter,
day, when the question engaged the pi
mind in Ohio. "Well, slr, my son Uly
says this ls a white man's government.
I agree with him."
when General Grant really came before
country os the candidate tor President,
father assumed an importance and value
to be underrated or skiped. There wu

Happy the man who could flatter him
using it for his friend.
INFLUENCE Or THE FATHER WITH TUE SO
When General Grant visits his relatives
Covington he sojourns In the Burnet Ho
Cincinnatti, and passes the greater part ol
time at his lather's bouse. On such occusi
General Dent accompanies him, and, like
engineer with his hand on tho throttle va
sits in tho front parlor or lolls ubout the ft
door to prevent the General from being won
to death by visitors. Jesse kccp3 near i;U
ses," and does nil the talking. Dent ls
nistied with a list of names tor admissloi
the presence. If Dent happens to forget
of the favored, or is doubtful, ho repeat
aloud and Jesse "hems," upon which Cerbc
looks blank and Invites the patty to wall
and take a seat. To the unrecorded unfo
nates there la the Invariable reply : "Gem
Grant is very much engaged now, but will
happy to see you to-morrow."
As soon as it was well understood that G
eral Grant would be President of the Uni
Slates, t'uc paternal Jesse sci bis house
ordur. The carpet was covered, and prep*
tiona mado for receptions outside the ordln
circle. Prominent poll lclans visited
house daily, and took counsel from the fat
ol tho house of Grant. It was no idle bo
that he could get anything he wanted at Wa
ingtou, for when Grant became President w
ever went there with Jesse's letter ca
away happy. The Sbinkles, of Covingti
steamboat men, grew rich on contracts mi
during the war for vessels used around Vic
burg In the eventful campaign of 1863. Jei
travelled up and down on their boats free, a
could "chalk the hal" of any one, or any nu
ber, he pleased. Thc Shinties arc devoted
Jesse still, and they visit him, and there ti
other than steamboat interests engaging t
attention of these capitalists.
CASES WHERE THE INFLUHNCE SHOWED.
If anything were wanting to prove that t
lather of the President has influence which
turns to practical account, thc intelligent 0
server has only to look at the Ohio appolr
ments since the 4th of March, 1869. Since th
day Mr. Grant has been In the habit ol' send ii
telegrams from Cincinnati to every member
the Cabinet, expressing his approbation 1
disapprobation of this or that matter relatii
lo the government offices, In Ohio chiefly, bi
J extendiug occasionally his uttentiou to" Kc
tucky and Indiana. As many as six telegrau
have been sent In a single day by Jesse to M
Delano. Sonic of these were requests, to u
of which favorablo replies were received.
JESSE BEATS SCHANCK.
The appointment cf Johnston InlhoThlr
District of Ohio was another case In pointe
Jesse's " lufltience." Schenck wanted sonu
body else, and worked to that end, but n
sooner did Jesse ascertain ibis than h
"stamped it out." Hu related thc clrcuu
stance lo a gentleman in Cincinnati tersely, a
follows :
"When I heerd that ?chenck was pushin:
his man, I jest writ on to Lyss.es, tullin' hin
about it, and asked him wich was the strong
est, him or Schenck; an' I tell you the thin;
was put through for Mr. Johnston." Subse
quent information showed that Mr. Johns;01
waa thu husband of Mrs. President Grant'i
cousin.
HOW THOMAS WAS DONE FOR.
s Emerson warns people to beware when thc
great God lets loose a thinker upon this planet.
O circumscribed prophet! why did you nol
proclaim a similar caution against a talker !
lu Jesse hu is terrible and Interminable, yul
tho lubrlcatlons,of his speech are necessary to
the easy ruuulng of official machinery, and
the fawning incumbents of govern meut offices
under his paternal eye love tu ail under thu
drippings and caleb thc honeyed words aa
they fail. Calvin Thomas, ex-Postmaster ol
Cincinnati, was, however, an exception to the
rule, and off went lila head. When he heard
tho whetting of thu axe hu visual Jesse In
Covington, aud found him seated IP. his dingy
little cubby-hole In the Covington postodlee,
poring over fonn.3 and signing postal blanxa
p<led ou a shaky deal tablo. Thomas ls a thor
ough-goiug business man, but when his e^es
encountered the stalwart figure of tho father
of the Pr?sidant oroucbedlu U? old arm-chair,
his lace ludicaUng a co yury amiable mood,
THE IJHAKLt?l
and his uncertain visuals strained through the
heavy-rimmed spectacles, he paused before
daring to address it. Now Jesse has a way ol
neither seeing nor hearing anybody or any?
thing-when he don't happen lo feel inclined.
He saw Thomas when he entered, but did not
recognize him-of course not.
The clerk understood the case in a moment,
and said :
"Mr. Grant, this is Mr. Thomas, postmaster
of Cincinnati." 0
"Ah, glad to see yor. Mr. Thomas ! Have a
cheer, have a dicer ! Vcr pretty well, ain't
yor? Yer look pretty well. I ain't sencc I
got that fall at the capitol. I went down, ye
know, to the nogeration of Lysses, Jinny ?ind
tue; the Ceneral would have lt so, un'I fell
down them damned stairs. Well, what ken 1
do tor you, Mr. Thomas ?"
Thomas sat down and told the old gentleman
what he had heard of his contemplated re?
moval, and of thc appointment of Mr. Foulds,
and expressed lils surprise at any chango be?
ing made. He was a Republican, and was
only in the office two years- could not under?
stand the change, nor see anv good cause
for it.
" Well ye see, Mr. Thomas, you air one of
Johnson's" 'pintments, an' the general flt all
through tho war, an' he's bound to put out all
thc Copperheads, every man that. Johnson
apinted, an' lill their place with loyal men."
Thomas again urged bis Republicanism.
"Well, now. Mr. Thomas, to tell you the
truth 'bout it. 1 assure you there's nothing per?
sonal to von 'bout lt. but ye sec Jinny is Inti?
mate with Hie Fouldses, an' they are neighbors
of ours, an she an* tho general fixed lt up for
Mr. Foulds wen we were to the nogeration. If
it hadn't buen for my fallin' down there I
would have Sam Penu kept in as special agent
of the Postoffice Department; but wen I was
sick Sherman poked bis nose in. as he allays
does, and got another fellow In his place. Fact
is, I was real mad 'bout that affair."
Thomas saw the hopelessness of the case,
and left.
. JESSE rs CAREFUL Anut'T ms DRINKS.
Mr. Grant sliuffies across the suspension
bridge from Covington to Cincinnati two or
three timo? a week, and always comes up Wal?
nut street. Cause why : there is a little drink?
ing hole in thc wall near the river, kept by a
thrifty German by the name of Metzler, and
the dispenser of office, high and low. invari?
ably calls there for bis ''bitters'' before coming
up town. He always drinks alone, except
when he is invited. Before he became no?
torious, Metzler used to remark every time ho
left his "groggery" that lie was the meanest
old skinflint that drank at his bar: hut he found
lt prudent to change Iiis regard to a respectful
reticence, for the sycophants tracked thu
venerable and solitary lover of "bitters" to
Metzler's and spent money for "drinks unt
zekars, nat dem tings, as mooch as ho never
dil see." All the ?heap houors of tho street,
Invitations to drink, and introductions to
everv dirty-handed plebeian, arc plentiful}'
showered upon the father of the President, but
i he never knows anybody the next time he I
meets him. "This is Mr. Graut, I believe.
How do you do, Mr. Grant ? I had the honor
of an introduction to you by my friend Mr. So
and So, yesterday, and I am glad to meei you
again, sir," says one of the fawning plebs.
"Ali, Jest so, jest so. I forgot your name.
Skuze me, Mr. Joues ; fact is, I see so many
folks. It's like my sou Lysses, when he was
in Hie army. Ho kuowed all bis soldiers, but
couldn't call thor names, ye know."
JESSE SAVES U?S MONEY-HE TAKES TKESESTS.
"When my son U-lyses" (that U always
bears such an emphasis when military affairs
are spoken of; when the old gentleman is
coddling the name socially, lt is dropped, thus:
"Lyssess" as though it had been dipped in
molassos, and theil had fallen in the jug) -
" W hen my son U-lysses was down to Vicks
I burg, I know'd right away the damned news?
papers would have to take everything back
they'd said agin him. From that lime forrard,
they spoke respeckful of him. Nowtherabusin'
him again, because they got nothin' else to
fill up their columns with ; but the General
I can bear lt ; lie's a rich man now, aud
I he's President or these U-niteil States,
andj bc don't keer what they say that
don't like him." Acquisitiveness runs in
Hie blood of the Grants. Thc founder of the
house is quite as notorious for taking and get?
ting as for keeping and never letting go. The
members of his church tell that it ls the most
difficult thing In the world to get thc old gvn
tleman to untie the long siring of his old
leather wallet when a special appeal is made
for some cause requiring pecuniary aid In the
church; while his neighbors relate that he will
go from store to store and "jew down" the
price of a pound of butter. Ho is a stickler for
Individual right, and will make a soene in a
street car sooner than to pay the difference be?
tween a single fare and that set on a bundle
of tickets. When it was shown that he had
received the present of a horse from Major
Megrue, In Cincinnati, he endeavored to delim?
it by arguing that il was nobody's business,
but Anally let thc matter go with an equivo?
cal sort of denial for fear of bringing a hor?
net's nest of similar charges about his venera?
ble auriculars. Anything, from a can of
oysters, a Jar of pickles or a block of soap,
with bas-relief head of the Genend on one
side, to a sewing machine, easy chair, cooking
stove or anything else useful or ornamental
in a household, ls not declined. But whatever
giving is done cannot bc credited to the people
of Covington; as a people, they cordially de?
spise the tallier of thc President for his Innate
meanness, which, however, they did not open?
ly complain of until he persisted in keeping
the postoffice in ur inconvenient and ont-ot
thc-way place, simp.j because he could save
money' by renting it. Thc affair was loudly
clamored about al the time, and found its way
into the telegraph columns of some ol'the lead?
ing papers Ol the Country. The result was an
admonitory line from Washington, and a chang?*
of locality."
The bitterness and strife, thc heart! timings
and dissatisfactions created by tho interfer?
ence of Mr. Grant with public ail airs in this
region would occupy a volume If detailed, but
enough has been shown to prove that it is pro?
ductive of mischief; and that scandal is
brought upon thc highest office in the gin of
thc people by thc easy access of a spiteful,
avaricious, doating old man, whose constant
boast Is that he is "the father or the President
of these United States und Hie greatest mili?
tary hero lu the world."

New York Rice Market.
Thc Journal of Commerce of Wednesday the 22d
lusr. says:
Thc market for domestic ls quiet. The stock is
not large, but the demand is cen tined to small
lots for dealers use. We quote 7a7*?c Sales 60
tierces. In Rangoon there is nothing doing. We
quote for lots In bond 2%a3s;c-, gold.
We clip the following from the circular of
Messrs. Dan. Talmage's Sons, of this city:
The rice market ls Hat. Rates have fallen oh*
since ours of the 10th ultimo fully Kc. per lb., and
as compared with this date last year are off l tfc
per lb.
Receipts at this port up to thc present time
4013 tierces; same date last year 4390 tierces.
The crop of Louisiana wc estimated at 32,000
tierces; later information shows that thc yield
will bc in excess of 40,000. ?
We believe that later reports from other sec?
tions will also show an Increase over our former
estimates, and the whole yield of thc United
States be considerably over 110,000 tierces. The
crops bciorc tue war uvcraged nominally 195.000
tierces. The demand, however, ls much less than
at that time; thc high price of rice during the
war causing other grains, such as barley, Ac, to
be used as substitutes. Again, thc demand for
export is very largely reduced. Taking an ave?
rage of ten years before the war, the shipments
to Europe anuually were 31,733 tierces; while
now about 1000 go in that direction. The South
American sud California trude used annually
over 3000 tierces; uow less than 100.
