Senator Sherman and liae Senat.
0Tssiip.

Pending the late annual election, State
Senatorial Convention conyencd at Spring
field, Ohio, AMI through resolution en-
dorscl Gen. Schenrk as their choice for
United States Senator in place of Mr. Sher-
man.
This action of the Convention it appears
gave grave offence to Senator Sherman and
called forth on his part reply, which is any
thing but palatable and complimentary to the
party who composed the Convention.
The address of Senator Sherman is quite
too elaborate 70 meet publication in our issue
of to-day, but after giving it a careful read
ing we think it propes on the present occasion
only to remark, that while some things in most
controversies are susceptible ofrefutation, 9TH
er' again arc proper subject of defence, but
in the case of Mr.. Sherman, while we have no
sympathy for Gen. Schcnck, we cannot but con-
fess that in our opinion the response is unfor-
tunate, and that the subject which invited his
notice. was unworthy of reply, and conse-
qucntly what he says had better have been
unsaid.
Senator Sherman in all probability will be
put on hearing for his official tergiversa-
tons, until when it would perhaps have been
better had he reserved his reply and kept his
powder dry: when all his abilities great as
they are may be fully taxed, in which if sue
cessful, he will be very fortunate As an OBJ
lection to the reelection of Mr. Sherman, it
is urged BY contemporary, that he will be
called on to answer, Is, to his vote against
the Presidents right to suspend the habeas
corpus; I'd, his vote against the repeal of the
Fugitive Slave Law; Sd. his vote against re-
ducing the paper duty; 4th, his letter of 1862
to Provisional Governor johnson of Tennes-
see, complaining that the Administration of
President Lincoln was 1ylcrized; 9Th, the en-
dorsing and franking the Pomeroy and other
circulars, and 9th his disregard of instruc-
tons of the Ohio Legislature. The foregoing
charges which are preferred against Mr.. S il
true and consequently unanswerable, are in
all conscience, enough to cause even his stout
heart to quail, and teach him as it has others
before him, the danger of disregarding the
public will, and going counter thereto.
Should Mr. Sherman finally succumb before
these grave charges theu,I and not until then,
we sincerely hope that one of Ohios southern
sons (of which there are many) will be en-.
dorsed by the incoming Legislature as sue
eessor to Mr.. Sherman, and not force on
Northern Ohio more than her due share Of
the public patronage

as3~ The Times Washington dispatch says,
it was asccrtained that during the entire war
our navy lost only ,406 men killed, and 1888
wounded, out of -, 900 sailors and marines on
the rolls, inclusive of all losses in grand bat
ties on the Mississippi, at Charleston, Mobile,
Fort Fisher and elsewhere In word, the
splendid victories of Farragut and Porter
have been achieved with less loss of life than
that which has been suffered in n single bat
tic by a single division of troops This is
due, in part to the fact that the enormous
range of our navy guns kept men out of mus
ket range The whole expense of the navy
since the beginning Of the war, including the
construction and equipment of all its vessels
and their maintenance, has been less than
230,0O0,000, Or less than per cent. Of the
national debt. Moreover, we have at the close
of the war ships enough to show for the
money spent, to constitute what is probably a
better navy thaa that of either of the European
powers We have constructed since 1861,
2l0 vessels of war; all of which are of most
improved models, and contain all of the aD-
pliances of modern offensive and defensive
warfare.
