Grant, Tlie most illustrious citizen of the Republic he saved, beloved and honored of the world for his services to freedom and humanity, his civic virtues and his stainless noble character, has passed away from us. Rising to sublimer heights of manhood in the midst of re\erses and detraction, holding death at bay with the same calm resolution as on a hundred battle tields, while the strong, right arm that wielded the nation's sword forged his familv's future shield, with every duty done, with the measure of his life full rounded and with the love and honor of his countrymen reaching dail}' a higher appre- ciation of his services and character, "from the top of Fame's ladder he has stepped to the sky.'' On the dav of his death, Thursday, the 2 2,d inst., President CIcNeland issued the following appropriate proclamation: Tlie President of the I'nited States liris just received the sad tidings ot" tlie death of tliat illustrious citizen and ex-President of the United States General Ulvssks S. Grant, at Mount McGregor, in the State of New York, to which place he had lately been removed in the endeavor to prolong his life. In making this announcement to the people of the I'nited States, the President is impressed with the magnitude of the public loss of a great military leader who was in the hour of victory magnanimous; amid disaster serene and self-sustained; who in every station, whether as a soldier or a chief magis- trate, twice called to power by his fellow-countrymen, trod unswervingly the pathwav of duty undeterred by doubts, single-minded and straightforward. The entire country has witnessed with ileep emotion his prolonged and patient struggle with painful disease and has watched by his couch of suffering with tearful sympathy. The destined end has come at last and his spirit has returned to the Creator who sent J* forth. The great heart of the nation that followed him, when living, with love and pride, bows now in sorrow above him dead, tenderly mindful of hi* virtues, his great patrintir ^.rvices and of the loss occasioned bv his death. . -=- v. d:: In tesliinonv ol" respect to the memory ofGENKKAi.
