best OF the argument as all who listened
to the debate were ready to eoncede Mr..
GILMAN, always eloquent in speech, proved
himself on this occasion skilled debater,
and more than . match for his adroit OPP
ponent from Minneapolis. Mr.. G1LFnIANs
remarks were well considered, directly to

ported back to the House with a recon-

majority, but of its probable fate in the

Crazy about the Negro.

The radical papers have been very, dubi-
GUS regarding Gen. SHERNANs faith in the
divinity of their ebony idol. Some Of his
letters created dissatisfaction among them,
which would have found vent in terrible
foundations 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: ..E 40
"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 niger : 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" b 3rf (.
If Gen. SHERMAN, from his standpoint
in far South, says the North has gone
crazy about "the Niger" it does not
become US to gainsay his declaration.
Indeed we see TOO many evidences of
its truth, to hazard a denial or qualif-
cation. From the Baltimore platform,
through the proceedings of Congress and
State Legislatures, down to the most in
significant abolition press fand pulpit, the
negro has free course, runs and is glorifed.
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 u.s.. and never endangered, until abo-
lition fanaticism swayed our rulers from
the ancient landmarks. We could fill
tome with illustrations of the truth of Gen.
SHsRMANs 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
Would that we of the North possessed
more of SHKRhANs fanaticism, and less
negro insanity. Ita.1a = Pa p

A New order About Enlisted Men.

By order of the Secretary Of War, when
an enlisted man arrives at draft rendez-
vous, any money he may have with him
exceeding $40 will be taken and placed
in the hands of the Paymaster at the
rendezvous, who shall enter the amount in
a check book, to be given to the soldier at
the time the money is taken. Money

tional Bank. After arriving at his regi-
ment, the soldier may claim the payment
of the amount of bis deposit from the
Paymaster who pays his regiment, when
the first regular payments are being made
him. The object Of this order is to pre-
vent bounty jumping.

Political Preaching Cured by ar
Old 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 constantly preaching, talk
ing, praying and exhorting upon political
issues, and his deacon and laymen followed
suit at the prayer and conference meetings
till finally worthy old farmer, enc OF
the staunchest and best members of the
church, and frn, undertaking Democrat,
was called upsn to offer prayer:

This was a. stumper. II was the first

for the success of the Democratic PARTY ana

Decision Regarding Credits Three

p tngss1I 95i Years Men, Eh0 .sfnC
The opinion Of the Solicitor Of the War
Department, published last August, is
semi-ofacially reproduced as applicable to
the present enrolment and call for soO,-
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.

Too sansuine Hopes of Peace.

Despite the favorable military position,
the New York Times warns it readers
against too sanguine hopes Of speedy
peace. There is no reason to suppose that
LEE and DAVIS are less firm inresolve than
ever, to fight out the war until recognition
and victory is obtained. The Times says
that LHs has an army of 60, 900 men, hard
ened in hundred battles, that .defies the

more Peace Negotiations.

The telegraph has been singularly reti-
cent concerning the result of Mr.. BLARs
last visit to Richmond, but the dispatches
this morning expose the object and fruits
of his mission to some extent. He has
induced ALEXANDER b. STEPHENS, R. N. I.
HUNTER and Judge CAMPBELL, late of the
Supreme Court, to visit Washington, not as
Commissioners of the rebel government,
but as citizens representing the people of
the South, to confer with President Inn,
COLIN on the subject Of peace. They come
precisely in the same capacity that BLAIR
visited Richmond. That these gentlemen
are on the way to Washington seems to be
established, although report from Wash
ington throws some doubt upon it. Wedo
not place any reliance, however, upon the
reported terms of settlement which Mr..
STEPHENS and his associates will propose,
or to the statement that they will be salts
factory to the administration; neither. do
we believe their mission will lead toimme-
date peace The visit of these gentlemen
may be productive of good, as a full under
standing Of mutual differences and de-
mands will probably be elected. aarelsq

Forty Thousand Destitute Negroes
Ia Washington. q

We quote the following from the pro-
ceedings of public meeting held at WASH
ington city on the evening of the 18th
inst, under the auspices of the Freedmen's
Relief Association, Rev. WIN. CLAIMING
in the chair. The facts stated afford an
instructive commentary on the benefits of
abolitionism to the negro: ~ @
Mr.. Charming read report setting forth
the startling and most Notwithstanding
condition of these wretched outcasts under
the shadows of the National Capitol. In
June last the census showed at least
30, 900 colored population in this District,
nearly all in the confines of this city.
There are now not less than 40, 900. There
are at least 900 families of these poor peo-
pie in the city. A few of them have Been
able to build shanties, paying for the mis-
cradle ground on which to place them $25
and $50 year. Not less than twenty
five of these families pay for their novels
less than Sc per month, and not more than
fifty pay less than S. monthly rent
When the report had been read, Mr..
Claiming requested Mrs. Griffin, the agent
of the association, who has been laboring
among these pitiable human beings some
months, to express her views on the mat
ter. They need everything. They fed
from slavery, taking nothing but few
rags on their backs. Food, fuel, clothing
were all equally needed, and the report
stated likewise:
Thew women need clothing. They cannot
get employment. People spurn them
from their doors, refusing entrance to
creatures half covered with filthy rags.
She spoke of the women as brave and de-
termined. They had come here IN DESC
lation, and In the face Of every form OF
encouragement had the most of them done
well and many nobly. Their deshtution
Of clothing was absolutely shocking. a
dozen or. more persons are crowded into

Of the families have no fuel; Fifty fami-
lies are to be turned into the street imme-
d;ately for non-payment Of rent. A man
and four children have already been thus,
turned out of doors, and another family
mother and three children, all baretooted.
Almost every family has q. sick person.
The meeting was one Of yery oreat N.
tefest. The startling facts developed in
the report and subsequent statements of
individuals awakened q deep feeling in the
audience, and there can be no doubt that

Judge Palmer.

The retirement of Hon. E. @. PALMER
from the bench of the Second Judicial
District, which be 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 his 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 sn
instance in which his PERSONAL character
has suffered q obreaths of disagreement,
and rarely have we heard the business Of
his decisions questioned, and still more
rarely have reversals followed appeals to
the Court shove from his Judgments IL
