Gen. Grant’s Record.
The New York World publishes Gen Grant's j
entire political record. We reproduce several
interesting items:
HIS OPINION ON NEGBO SvmtAGE.
Extract from Senator Doolittle's Speech at Mil
waukee, October 2, 1865.
But I will not stop here. This is too serious
a matter for men with flippant tongm s to pass
over as if there were nothing in it. The other
day. when General Grant was here, spending
several hours with him in free conversation
upon this subject among others, he expressed
to me the same opinion. Said I : “ General
Grant, I never quote privateconvenation with
out express permission. Am I permitted to
shite what you now state to me ? ” Said he:
“Certainly: there is no concealment on ray
part.” And lie stated to me in the conversa

between the whites and the blacks that had
already occurred was in consequence of the un
wise attempt to force negro suffrage in those
States. He said further, that if the FedenJ.
Government were to attend

Thb*States of the Union.—So many new
' States have been admitted into the Union with-
j in a few years past, that the public find it diffi-
' cult to “keep the run” of them. We fre-
[ quently read in the papers and hear men speak
i of the “thirty-six States of this Union.”-
j Even in Congress, members sometimes speak
of this number of States as the proper number,
while a majority of that body make the num
ber of States in the Union much less than
thirty-six. There are thirty-seven States in
the Union, according to the Conservative doc
trine. aud, in order that the poblic may know
and not forget their names, we furnish a full list
of them below, in alphabetical order, viz:
