A New York correspondent writer: A gentleman Jn this neighborhood/one of the directors of the Unired States National Bank, of New York, of which General Grant is also a director, has told of a most Interesting meeting of the board of directors ashort time ajfo. The narrator of the Incident had been reacTlnj? General Sheridan's article on Lee's surrender In the North American JRevieto, and when General Grant en­ tered, after all the members of the board had assembled, he mentioned to him what he had been rendine, and asked him if he had any objection to gratifying those present by his personal reminiscences of that momcutous occas­ ion. For once General Grant was In humor to talk, and talked well for oyer an hour ou all branches of the subject, giving a clear, concise history of the days preceding the surrender, and all events connected with It. The uarrator says all present were thrilled by the recital, and the bank books were closed by the vice-president of the bank, who declared the meeting adjourned to 111- ten to this chapter of history. General Grant hlinseirshowed much emotion at times. In speaking of the meeting of himself and General Lee when the lat- ter came to arrange with him the term or surrender, lie said that they shook haiids as old comrades in the army, and first talked over West Point experience and those of thsirarmy lite at the same stations elsewhere In a matter-of-course way, as If they had met again under ordinary circumstances.

When General Lee used the flame form or expression, he Interrupted hi in insisting that but one Nation «ras rep resented by both of them, flis whole itfea, as understood by his auditors, was to convey to General Lee the impress ion that it was not two foreign nations that had warred against eacli other, but a paternal Government, which, having sufficiently chastised a naughty child, was willing to forgive and receive the child again as a child on conciliatory terms. General Grant said that he sat down at the table In the memorable McClean farm-house and wrote out the firms of the surrender, and that, when ueneral Lee saw them, and he(General Grant; said to him: "Let your officers and men keep their horses; we don't want them and will not need them, for It wHI soon be time for them to begin their farming, and they will want the horses to help them; 1 want all of you to take your horses home with you." General Lee's eyes filled with tears, and lie said more than once, as he read the terms of surrender: "This will have a splendid eilect at the South." General Grant further said to him: ' Now this war should all be over. You with your influence at the South, should see to it that not another gun la fired, not another life lost. After this a life lost in any fight would be murder, and you can prevent it." General Lee an­ swered; "Well, I will speak to Mr. Davis about it." General Grant, in teliinr the story, added: Mff that had. been Jo Johnston Instead of Lee. he never would have said that. He would himself have assumed the responsi­ bility of declaring that the war should be over on his side, as I c'id on mine; but Lee did net like te take the re­ sponsibility of making that pledge to stop the fighting at once until he had consulted with Davis." AM KVKK-LIVINO 1MUK. Of all the soldiers1 claims that at one time or another have been urged upon the consideration of Congress, there is none in which there is a larger measure of equity than that to an equal! zatiou of bounties. The term "equali­ zation" is itself suggestive of past in justice, and to admit that the bounties were not equitably bestowed originally is to concede that the Government is In default to those who suffered from this unequal distribution, aud It Is certain­ ly not creditable to our law-makers that they have permitted this Inius- tice to go so long unatoned for. The claim of our soldiers to an eqnaliia- tion of the bounties, as we have fre­ quently pointed out. Is based on the fact that by a misapplication ot the law, many, who reajlj" earned the promised consideration were deprived of It altogether. Take the case, for instance, of two men--Smith and Jones --who enlisted at the same time, trom the same town, and in the same regi­ ment and company. Under the bounty act, as then interpreted, they became entitled, at the expiration „ of two years of actual serylw. to two hundred dollars each, but Smith, as it happened, being discharged, one mon^h before the completion of his two years' service, on account of disability, was denied any bounty whatever, while Jones, who served only four weeks longer, was paid in full, lender any other circumstances this would fee con­ sidered an act of flagrant Injustice, and when it is remembered that the dis* ability for which Smith waa dis­ charged was S« the line of duty, and that his retirement waa in r.o >>ense voluntary, the action of the government in withholding from him the promised bounty cannot but be re­ garded as an actual breach contract. Had Smith withdrawn from the ser­ vice of his own accord, he wonld, for so doing, have forfeited, of course, all ri jlit's under the bounty aet, but, inas­ much as his retirement was compul­ sory and due to disability incurred while in the employ of the Govern­ ment. the latter had no right to set up Its own act la justification of its re­ fusal to par any portion of the prom­ ised bounty. His twenty-three months' Sbrvlce clearly entitled him to twenty- three twenty-rourths of the total boun­ ty, and the Government is therefore his debtor to precisely that amount. Now the case is only one of thous­ ands, some of them still More pitiful and hard to explain, and it was to provide for them that the Equalization of Bounties bill was first Introduced In Congress. That was ye art ago. but although the equity of the measure was not serlousiy questioned and Its urgency freely conceded, It has failed to become a law. Once. It is true. It received the sanction of both Houses, but failed to command President Grant's approval--the alleged poverty of the treasury furnishing the excuse-- and since the death of Senator Morton It has never been vigorously pressed in the National Legislature. The time Is propitious now, however, for a re- uewal of the agitation for the enact­ ment of this measure, and we trust ere the next CoXgress convenes public sentiment will have crystallized in its favor. - Our veterans are no longer a divided, disorganised force, but a har­ monious and powerful element In every community and they can. if they choose, compel Congress to action. The pending bill proposes to discharge the pbijgM'ou of (he Omrmnetit to ties by •WMrit every volunteer who holds an honor* ble discharge eight and one-third dol lars per month for every month of ao tual service which he may have per­ formed. less, of court*, any bounty which he may have heretofore per­ formed, and tnere ought not to be any hesitancy in uniting In Its support. It has been suggested that the Govern­ ment might Issue laud warrants, hi lieu of money, In settlement of these claims, but we do not see that there Is any occasion for such a substitution. The Issuing of land warrant* to our ex soldiers should be pressed as a sep­ arate and distinct measure. The treasury ts full to overflowing, and a* the original bounties were paid In le­ gal tenders, the balance due oar vet­ erans should be paid la the same. It is possible, of course, that another dis­ appointment may be In store for the soldier at the hands of the next Con­ gress, but, as Oliver P. Morton--In­ diana's great war Governor and Sona- tor--said, In the coarse of one of his outbursts of eloquene In belialr of this measure: "Justice to the soldier can­ not always be deferred," HOST tmi fOLGRit. ^ the csTrsipsaisals Arm, IStsr Against the Secretary; •'& Jtcuhinffton Letter in the Bo$ton Herald. p. Amoi'g the few enthusiastic despls«vs of Secretary Folger are two or three well-known correspondents of this city. and it has not been clearly nnderstoad • until recently why they were so par­ ticularly bitter against the head of the Treasury It now transpires, however^ :J that the unpleasantness dates back tb the time of the Issnance or the call for the 6 per cent, bonds. It seems that there was doubt in the public mind ^ to whether the promised relief to the "Ji money market was to come through 75 the 5s or through the extended 4}s. OF ? course, it would i>* a gtood pointer to know n-hich were to be railed. The syndicate referred to di*pafclie«t an ' emissary to the second floor of the ; 1 reasury to ask tlse point-blank que*- tion as to which was to be wliich. Til* Secretary graciously informed th# party that he should call the 4J's. The "boys" could scarcely believe it, so they sent up again. The Secretary, in at | petulant tone, said, "Can't yon hear straight? Let's aee If you can read f* and he wrote on a table, '"I shall call ^ the 4JV and signed It "C. J. F." Ttine "heeled" there was a rush for tlae broker's offices, and the enllre surplus * ^ of the several parties to the sehem» ' ' was poured into the Wall street coffers "at the lowest possible figure." A firm *, of local bankers also jumped at ihtv'ff bait, and this large purchase front : Washington had the desired effect o* the market. Those who were on the Inside strutted around in glee, but suri* j denly there appeared upon the scene m * | me«senger from the Secretary's office. * ^ MHave you sent that bond business oft ' ? yet?" was his almost breathless query. ,| "Sent It? 1 should smileP' was the gay response. "Well, it is all wrong * - said the messenger. "What do yon " say ?" yelled the speculators. "Yes.** i 1 continued the emissary. **the Secretary i says he made a mistake, he ts going tie call the *'s." Then there was another i rush, but the reaction had set In, and It was too late to tie more than save ft upall percent, on the original Invest­ ment. Thus did the Secretary end the correspondents drift apart. The Seer*- , tary says h« furnishes Information tor the press, and not frr the bweket shops. A shapely girl appeared at a flftli story window in Boston. Her long hair was loose, and her gown was white so that to the uncri tlcal eye she looked like a person right from bed; but she were shoes and stockings, as was sub­ sequently observed, and there were nu­ merous touches of a careful toilet. How ever she fairly represented a girl hastily aroused from sleep by fire. Her movements were rapid, too, and her manner wild. She flung open the sash and climbed out on tiie sill. The square fronting the building was almost in­ stantly crowded. With a shrill cry'she dropiied horself. A thrill'of horror ran through the multitude. But the girl was not dashed to pieces on the side­ walk. She descended with great but harmless celerity luto the arms of a man, who began at once to expatiate upon the merits of his device, which consisted of a single wire attached to a kind of harness and pulled out from a box by the weight of the person hitoh- ed to it. The girl was liked, but no body caret! anything about the appar­ atus, and Its Ingenious exhibitor did not make a single sale, the people dis­ appearing as soon as she did. lOTPlantatton philosophy. -- Hon­ esty Is get tin scarcer ebcry year 'cose dar is more people to pervide.
