Vc» York, Jan* 8.—General Grant’s
to* to be publishtd In a few months,
.41 contain the following reminiscences of
Ceoeral Lee’s ennender: “I found Gen-
, rsl U e had been brought into our lines
and conducted to a house belonging to Mr.
McL*an, and was there with qne of his
stiff officers awsltleg my arrirsl. Thehend
of hts colnmn was occupying a hill, a por
tion ot which waa an apple orchard, across
a little taliey from the court house. Sher-
Idin's forces were drawn up In line of bat
tle on the crest of a hill on the south side
oI the same valley. Before stating what
took place between General Lee and my.
■elf, I will give all there Is of the narrative
. General Lea and the famous apple tree.
With urodnee many stories of fiction, some
.3 which are told until they are believed.
The wtr ot tbe rebellion was fruitful in the
..me way. The eiory of the apple tree la
ime of these fictions, with a alight four.da-
Sooof facts. As 1 have said, there *as an
wDDle orchard on the tide ot tbe bill occa-
med by Tbe Confederate forces. Hanning
diagonally «P the bill w»s a wagon road,
whi-b at one point ran very near one of
the trees, so that the wheels on that stria
had cut off the roots of tho tree, which
ntsdealiUleentbsnlmeiiL General Bab
cock reported to me that when he tint met
General Lee he was sitting upon
tiff, embankment, with bis feet in tbe
roA end leaning egiinst the tree. It was
then that L»e was conducted Into tbe
house where I first iro-t him. I bad known
Gen. Lee in the old army and htd served
with him in the Meiican war, but did not
suppoee, owing to tbe difference in oar
sget and rank, that he would prooably
remember me, while I would remember
him more dtnipoHy - hooqoso he was chief
engineer on the staff of Gen. Scott
In tho Mextcsn war. When 1
had left camp that morning I had
not expected the result so soon
tbit then was taking place, and conse-
be read with greater Interest than Gen.
Orant’e account ot hts fir,-*, meeting with
Lincoln and Lincoln's charge to him. "Al
though hailing from Illinois my
self, the 8tate of the President,
I had never met Lincoln until
called to tbe capttol to receive my commis
sion es lieutenant-general. 1 knew him,
however, very well and lavorably from ac
counts given by cflicert nudtr roe at the
West, who had known him all their
lives. I had also read tbe re
markable course of debates between
L’ncolit and Dooglass a few years hetore
when they were rival candidates for the
United States Senate. I was then a resi
dent ol Missouri, and by no means a “Lin
coln man” in that contest, but 1 recognised
bis great ability. In uiy first Interview
with Lincoln, at once be stated that be had
never professed to be a military men,
or to know how campaigns should he
conducted, and never wanted to interfere
in them; but that procrastination on the
part ot commanders and the pressure of
tho people at tbe North and cl Congress,
which, like the poor, be “had always with
him,” had forced him Into issuing
his well-known series of orders.
He did not know bat they were
all wrong, and did know that some ot
them were. All he wanted or bad ever
wanted, he said, was that some one would
take responsibility and act, and call ou
him for all the assistance needed.”
SIS TiaST B4TTLS,
Speaking of his first battle in the civil
war, General Grant says: "As soon as the
enemy saw us, they dscamped as fast as
their horses would carry them. I
kept my men in ranks, and
forbade their entering any of
the deserted houses or taking anything
from them. We baited at night on the
toad and proceeded next morning at an
early hour. Harris had been encamped
in a creek bottom for tbe sake of being
near water. Tbe bills on either side ot
the creek extend to a considerable height,
possibly more than one hundred
feet. As we approached the
brow of a hill from whiett it wai exprc'.ed
we could see Harris’s camp, and possibly
find his men teady formed to nucf ns, me
hea-1 kept getting higher and higher, until
It felt to me as though It was in my
throat I would have given anything then
to have teen back ia Illinois. I bad
not tbe moral courage to belt and
consider what to do. I kept right on.
When we reached a point from which the
valley below was m fall view, I halted.

THE APACHE OUTBREAK.
Lowdok, June 8.—The government was
defeated in the House of Commons this
evening on the second reading of the
budget, which was rejected by
■vote of 2G3 to 252. Tremendous
excitement was caused by the announce
ment of tbe resnlt of the division. Mr.
Gladstone immediately adjourned the
House. It is confidently rumored that Mr.
Gladstone will visit the Queen to morrow
and tender his resignation.
Mr. Childers, chancellor of the ex'heq-
uor, announced that tho government bad
decided not to refund to taxpayers the
amount of Increased duty on tpirits over
and above the extra sbilhug final
ly decided on, because con
sumers had been charged higher
rates after the announcement of the origi
nal Increase. The government would,
however, Mr. Childers added, cause an In
quiry to oe made to ascertain if there ex
isted sufficient reason to modify this de
cision.
Mr. Childers had no sooner done ex
plaining tbe goAernraent’8 reasons for not
at present refunding tbe tax, that Sir Mi
chael Hfcks-Beacli, Conservative mem
ber for East Gloucesteishire, rose quietly
and asked why it was that the L beral

had to resort to extreme forms of taxation

greeted with cbeera trom tbe Tory benches,
bir Michael went on and denounced * the
increased duty on spirits. He said the re
ceipts from spirits were already decreasing.
He thought a small increase in the duty
on tea would have been wiser
and much more profitable. The gov
ernment, he continued, should have raised
duty on wine, became wine was no mores
necessity ot life than beer or spirit*. 8ir
Michael concluded by moving that the
proposed increase in tbe daty on spirits
and beer was inequitable in the ahsenco of
a corresponding additloa to tbe dalles on
wine.
John K. Cross, under secretary for India,
spoke for the government In answer to
a number of questions concerning tbe at
tacks reported to have been made on tho
government bv Sir Peter Lumsden, Mr.
Cross assured the House that Btr Peter since
bis arrival in London bad disavowed any
intention to attack tbe government, and
did not consider himself answerable for
incorrectly reported utterances attributed
to him bv journalists Inclined to misrep
resent him.
Mr. Childers moved the second readin
of the Budget, and his supporting speec!
explained that of the total increase m the
beer and spirits duties, England pays
seven-ninths, Scotland one-ninth and Ire
land one-ninth.
Losdon, June 0 —The cabinet council

ation was thoroughly discusse 1. It wms de
chled that, in view ot the defeat last night,

the Q .een with the formation of a new

Jt is mmored that the Q teen baa sent a

to reconsl er bis decision to resign. There

Gladstone will, trader existing conditions,

made In over one hundred years ol pros
P'flity, was trebled In three years oi onr
poverty and desolation.
Tbe history ot this startling increoso
would be interesting, bnt Is too long. Bat
as Governor Bullock, in hls card, directed
special attention to the railroad bonds, a
word as totbem. Heaaldtbat “we have
been for fifteen years past collecting annu
al tsxes on fifty millions of enhanced value
ol onr taxable property; an Increasu di
rectly trscesble to tbs good (fleets of tbe
new railroads built under that legislative
end executive authority.” Tbe taxable
property of Georgia last year was but $00,-
031,733 more than in 1870. Ot tbat about
sixteen millions represent railroad proper
ty other than of those indorsed by Gov
ernor Bollock and not taxable in 1870.
About twenty other millions
In factories not taxed In J870.
The whole enhanced value Is about fifty-

la half miles of broad Kirage plus eight miles
of narrow gauge, Indorsed to the extent ef
$575,000.
We need go no farther. These are facts
taken from the report frrm which Gov
Bullock quoted. The reader may contem
plate that spiketeam of a railroad and say
whether adjectives are out of place when
sp*‘Hkimrnf th** tniimuMion. *
It willhe seen that the qneslion was not
whether to repudiate an acknowledged
debt, but whether the State had ever be
come bound. The decision was that as the
requirements of the statutes and constitu
tion of the 8tate had been set at defiance,
the was not bound. As the world is bound
to take notice of ail the limitations upon a
public agent's authority, there can be no
such thing as a purchaser without notice
as against the state of a State's bond.
Space will not allow comment upon the
quotations made in Governor Bullock’a
card from the speeches of other persons.
What they are worth depends upon when
they were spoken and under what circum
stances. Whether Ciews’a account is cor
rect ia foreign to the question whether
those bonds bound the State. That some
would have preferred to submit the matter
to t!:*‘ courts nllertjj »«»t tint question. In
the speech quoted from by Governor Bul
lock, Governor Jenkios said: "Now, sir,
I know that there have been many frauds
practiced upon the Stite of Georgia since
the conclusion of the war—tbat aho has
aullered much from ’.the action of her gov
ernment. I am retdy to r.mcvd'.* that there
have been many fraudulent debts created
against her which she ii not'in honor
bound to pay, but at the same time there
are obligations created by the same gov*
errnifiit whicti ttie State is hound to pay
in justice and in honor and some which
she has already recognized and paid."
And then mentioning the cases of Boor*
man, John-on & Go., and of Governor
Jenkins's fellow townsmen, Messrs. Branch
Herring, he urged submission of the
questions to the courts. On a yea and Day
vote the ayes were fifteen, tne nays one
hundred and sixty-six.
| Suppose this was a judicial question, as
Governor B iltock error.* »u?ly <• mt-nd . i;
it dishonest for Georgia to decline to sub
mit it to a jury when the very perstns
charged with the wrong would be the wit
nesses against her. and many of them in-
Iterested in the millions at stake?
Bnt It is not a judicial question. It Is
purely politic*!. States nave allowed
themselves indirectly sued when thoy own
ed banks, railroads and tho like. To as-
'-rtHiu how much Mu.u’d paid for at
tention to smallpox patients by her re-
quest, Georgia allowed herself sued.
It was for the convenience
of herself and claimants, because the
least expensive mode of fixing amounts
Bill it was op'ioual with her to payor n fun*
after jagements. For like reasons the
United titates may be sued as to certain
matters in her Coart of Claims. Bnt who
ever heard of a government .suhnii ting to
a court questions concerning what is call
ed her public debt? If It vere politic for
a State so to do, it would seem more hon
est to submit them to tbe United States
courts than to her own. Daring our revo
lution the States confiscated debts due to
Britishlsnbj^cts and pat the money in tbeir
treasuries. They were sued in the United
States courts therefor. To cut oil un
seemly proceedings the constitution of
the United States was amended in 1793, so
that the United States courts could have
no jurisdiction in "any suit in law or equi
ty commenced or prosecuted against one
of tho United S ates" by any private pel
son. The State’s consent could not oonfe.

onr institutions to mako such questions
judicial.
