SHANDRKw, of Winona, favored the bill,
and Nessrs. CORNELL and ALDRIcH, of

Crazy about the Negro.

The radical papers have been very dubi-
GUS regarding Gen. SHERNAN's faith in the
divinity of their ebony idol. Some of his
letters created dissatisfaction among them,
which would have found vent in terrible
denunciations of his military incapacity,
had the fortunes of war been less propi-
tious for his reputation. Subsequently an
expression Of sympathy for the suffering
runaway negroes in his army, was eagerly
caught up as evidence that he had been
converted, and, through their diligent wa
tering, might eventually bear abolition
fruit But now his position is more in
doubt than ever, for, according to the
Tribune of recent date: -.
"a letter received here yesterday from Gen.
Sherman, contains the highest evidence that
his old views about the cOlored Unionists are
unchanged. He charges the North with hav.
ing gone crazy about the nigger; he says
that he believes in the negro in his place, leav-
ing the inference that his place is not in the
ranks that in consistency with his belief he
has employed negroes that came into his
camp as walters, servants and laborers, and
that his convictions in regard to the impolicy
of making soldiers of the negroes cannot be
changed"
If Gen. SHERMAN, from his standpoint
in far South, says the North has gone
crazy about "the nigger," it does not
become US to gainsay bis declaration.
Indeed we see too many evidences of
its truth, to hazard a denial or eualifi-
cation. From the Baltimore platform,
through the proceedings Of Congress and
State Legislatures, down to the most in
significant abolition press 'and pulpit, the
negro has free course, runs and is gloriied.
The Union of our fathers, once the object
of almost idolatrous devotion, has become
secondary to abolitionism. "Died in de-
fence of the Union,' in the earlier part of
the war, was inscribed on all the monu.
ments of our fallen brothers. Now, the
abolition radical erects in our midst paste
board cenotaph for the "brave who have
died for Liberty!" This must mean the
liberty of negroes, for our own was achiev-
ed in '76, and never has been wrested
from Us, and never endangered, until abo-
lition fanaticism swayed our rulers from
the ancient landmarks. We could fill a
tome with illustrations of the truth of Gen.
SHBRMAN's assertion that the North has
gone crazy about the negro. SHERMAN,
the rebel papers say, is sensible on most
topics, but ga fanatic for the Union y
Would that we of the North possessed
more of SHKRMAN's fanaticism, and less
negro insanity.

Political Preaching Cured by an
Gid Farmer.

a Congregational Church in Pennsyl-
vania, got so completely enlisted in the
Presidential contest that little attention
was given TO religious questions. The
minister was cor nstantly preaching, talk
ing, praying and exhorting upon political
Issues, and bis deacon and laymen followed
suit at the prayer and conference meetings
till finally worthy old farmer, one of
the staunchest an,l best members of the
church, and a firrn, undertaking Democrat,
was called upsn to offer prayer:
20, Lord, " said he. uphold the Democratic
party, Which has received thy support ever
since the great Jeffersonian struggle. Con

protection aud providence, brought great bless.

which are rending them asunder, DESTROYING
their usefulness and turning them nnhappilv
into mere political associations, Let ma hear
something of thy word and mercy on the
Sabbath. We have already been piled
to fulness with political fanaticism. and
our minister has become stump orator against

to victory, and sustained, in the establishment
OF sound measures. Oh, turn his mind from
legitimate religious duties, or turn him over

true minister of the Gospel. Atany rate the
present condition ofaffairs cannot last. II pol
itics are to rule, shall claim one half of the
time in behalf of the Democratic party. so that
there may bea fair discussion within these
walls. Amen"
This was stumper. 1t was the first
prayer ever publicly offered in that church
for the success of the Democratic party and
its nominees, though hundreds of prayers
and exhortations had been made against
the party. When the old man finished
there was silence of half an hour, and
the meeting then adjourned. And thus
ended the political preaching in that
church. From that time forward, the
minister attended to his Gospel duties and
left all political questions to be settled by
the people outside the church. Again the
society prospered and there was better
feeling among its members-more Chris
tisn charity, more brotherly love. The
old mans earnest prayer was answered in
more respects than one. 81 .sglvhasM !

Judge Palmer.

The retirement of Hon. E. @. PALMER
from the bench of the Second Judicia!
District, which he has occupied for the last
seven years, and his resumption of prac-
tice as attorney and counsellor, afford an
opportunity of expressing the sentiments
of respect entertained for him by the peo-
pie of the district, for the able and Impair
tial manner in which he discharged the
important duties of bis position, and for
his high personal character. These senti-
ments, we have reason to believe, are
shared by the members of the bar, and all
who have appeared before him as litigants.
In the vast amount of business that has
been before him, there has never been IN
instance in which his personal character
has suffered breath of disparagement,
and rarely have We heard the justness Of
his decisions questioned, and still more
rarely have reversals followed appeals to

Decision Regarding Credits Three
G. ,.f. ~" Years Men. ttH sTn

The opinion Of the Solicitor of the War
Department, published last August, is
semi-ofRcially reproduced as applicable to
the present enrolment and call for 9OO,-
600 men to supply deficiencies under for
mer calls. In that opinion the Solicitor
said if the number of men were taken
into consideration, it is clear the grosser
inequality would exist in the respective
contribution on the different districts to
the aggregate military service OF the coun-
try and each successive call All accounts
of service preceding that call are made
up, and the call for quotas should be such
as shall equalize the amount of service re-
ouired from each district in proportion to
the persons therein liable to military ser
vice. That district which, in the present
draft furnishes one year men cuts up its
burden into three parts, and shoulders only
one part at the present year, and leaves
the next to be met at the next call. That
district which furnishes three years. men,
receives again at once in its account with
the Provost Marshal General the same
benefit on the quota of the next draft as
though it had furnished three times as
many men for one year service. 1t is
the duty of each district to furnish the
full number of men designated as its quota.
These men should be received whether for
one, two, or three years service; those
districts which furnish three years. men
now will be entitled to the full benefits
thereof on all future calls.
