The needs of the army and navy were enormous, and the business transactions were such as we had never imagined before. Greed was rampant. The writ of hnbcns rorpitswas suspended and laws were shaped to suit unusual circumstances. The resulting commotion threw all manner of minds into activity. The good and the bad. The wise and the cranks, all came to the surface, and all concentrated and intensified at the presidential office, but the President adhered to his simple creed and went steadily on ...his way. He treated all patiently, but frankly. He had an intuitive sense of proper perspective; he knew the true importance of things. When a company of temperance people came to ask that General Grant be removed because he drank too much, he inquired what kind of liquor he drank, and said he wanted to know so he could send some to other generals that they might win such victories as Grant was winning. "Temperance is a good thing. " he said, "but we are saving the Union now. " The intrepid confederate army made no more trouble in front than the sincere but impatient abolition leaders did behind him.
