In the absence Of one disturbing ele-

free, common, and general representa-
ton. More Statssmaulike ability was
requisite to establish such Constitution
as would preserve what was already ia

the wrong side.
The side face Of Sherman gives YOU as much

An adroit plot 70 injure Gen Sherman for the
benefit of the radicals has just come to light.

cidiug upon ts truth or falsity. The fact is the
extremists Of the republican party land they

the negroes whom his army met on its triumph.
ant march through Georgia. and what was in
their eyes more objectionable did not arm every
one Of them who was able bodied. How to draw
censure upon the brave general with view to
accomplish their purpose was the problem to be
solved. OF course il was the hight of folly to
say a word against Gen. Sherman while the
lanrels OF his late campaign were yet fresh. L he
report runs that this device was resorted to: A
rumor was set afiost that Gen Sherman had sud
denly shown signs of insanity; that he was be
lieved TO be non compos mentis al the early part
of the war, and the excitement arising from his
march from Atlanta TO Savannah has brought on
a return Of his old trouble. Just AZ this juncture
Secretary Stanton announced TO have gone
90 Gen. Grants headquarters to coHier with him
about most important matters Nothing was
easy than 10 start the story that the reason
for conference the reported arrangement of
General sherman
Gould this officer BE displaced on this ground
the radicals could wax loud in praises of his
past achievements sympathize with his affection,
and secure as his successor some man-perhaps
Butler-who would not stick at any demand of
tSeirs. Such Is the report in circulation here
To-day a new phase appears upon it which would
seem TO render credence to- the original rumor
IL is stated that the object Of Mr. StantoHs visit
to General Grant to decide upon some fixed
rule for the disposal of negroes coming within
the lines of Shermsns army. Ii is how under
stood that the mode of dealing with them. which
Sherman has adopted. and which is the
that adopted by General Mcclellan during the
time that be was in active service, tn be super
seeded at once. and hereafter all able bodied ne
groes who are captured will he furnished with
arms. and made to do such service they
in the ranks of our army. This demand of the
radicals vas urged on the ground that Mr.. Lin
cola was elected a strict abolition policy. and
that nov he must pursue that policy to Che utter
most, or forfeit the support of the very men who
did the most to secure his re election; and any
officer who will co operate in this matter must
be shelved without any conjunction. The
whole story will doubtless be made pubic in due
time, but do not believe that i will differ in
any important particular from what have stated
above.
