Grant bad saved the life of the. republic by services of which tha whole people were ignorant. Mr. Depew at that time declined to explain what he meant, but he has now don* so by writing the following open letter to CoL F. D. Grant. The substance of th* letter Is that Andrew Johnson wanted all the participants in the rebellion to le summarily dealt with, and that Grant was utterly oppoied to it as violating the parole which h« (Grant) bad tirely dependent upon, his intense haired to the Cilave-ho!ding oligarohf, due to his kimbla origin and the slights which had " been put upon htm by the southern aristocracy.
