Many years afterwards, during the war between the States, as Major-General Carl Schurz, Mr. Dana, and I were riding from Knoxville to Chattanooga, those two distinguished dialecticians beguiled the hours in conversation carried on indifferently in both German and English.

Whereupon General Schurz rejoGeneral Schurz rejoined: Well, Herr Dana (which he pronounced with the broad a), you speak German better than any man I ever heard speak it who was not born and educated in Germany.

While no one can say positively what would have been the result of a reform administration at that time, assisted as it must have been by Senators Trumbull and Schurz, besides many other Independent Republicans of importance, it may now be plausibly contended that the country acted wisely in re-electing Grant, instead of trying a dangerous experiment.
