ii Claims Of Soldiers.

In the cabinet meeting to-day, thequestion
=. recognizing the claims of soldiersto exocu-
I'VE patronage was brought up. 1t appears
aat !ne OLD politicians are in mary instances
pressing their claims against thosS Of wounded
0Emcers. and It Is thought that tbe resolution Of

Tribune. y - '' A"s9S ~. o"'o -
The Republican politicians omit no &C.
csslon to flatter the returning soldiers, but
there is reason to believe that it is to
seek their favor in order to win votes for
themselves. The only test of sincerity in
this matter is carefully avoided. Among
the hundreds Of federal ofice.holders in
this State, who have enjoyed fat salaries
and light labor, during the war, we do not
hear of one who proposes to resign in ia
vor Of the war-worn veteran, who is
poorer to-day than when he entered the
service. It is notorious that not one of
this class has been recommended for Office
in this state, and equally 50 that the Re-
publican legislature, during the war, has
filed all its subordinate offices from the
ranks Of stay-at-home politicians, and ut
terly ignored the claims of wounded and
invalid soldiers, who were just a. capable,
aud far more deserving. But the soldiers
are now coming home en- masse, and every
intriguing politician who has, grown
rich in = money and official honors
during the war, is endeavoring to
make the soldiers believe that he has suf-.
fered and bled for the soldier, because be,
has wormed himself into . position where
he had the disbursement'of funds contrib
uted by others, without spending cent
himself The conduct of the sold poll.
ticiansn at Washington, as described by
the Tribune, is only what has been ex-
hibited on a smaller scale in Mime sofa
during the last four years. They were
eager to pass resolutions and make bum
combe speeches in favor Of the soldiers, but
were very careful not to vote = dollar out
Of the State treasury for their destitute
families, and utterly refuted to give their
claims to official position moment's oon-
eiderstion. When ssedy politicians claimed
reward for party services, the wounded
soldier. was left out in the cold. Il, vd he

The enormous national debt is every day
becoming stern reality to all classes Of
our people; the principal can be thrown
upon posterity, but the interest must be
met as it accumulates. Notwithstanding
the reduction of the army and navy, and
the stoppage of contracts for immense
supplies, and the peaceful state of the coun-
try. the national expenditures are vastly
disproportioned to the receipts from all
sources. As consequence gold is mount
ing higher and higher every day, and the
debt is piling up higher and higher The
cost of fifty or sixty thousand men, as an
army of observation in Texas, will be
fifty or sixty millions Of dollars each year,
which is more than the whole expenses OF
the Government ten years ago. The peo-
pie Of the United States are not willing to
expend this immense sum merely to test
the sentiments of Mexicans, or as q menace
to LOUIS NAPOLEON. -

Gen. ShermaR-.What He Said at Co.
...,T .E lumbuSs ,E. 49,

The Republican papers have declared
with great apparent gusto, that General
SHERMAN, in his recent speech upon the
occasion of his late reception at Column
bus, Ohio, warmly Endorsed Gen. Cox, the
abolition candidate for governor of that
State, and announced his intention to
support him. From full report of Gen.
SHRRMAN's speech, published in the Oolum-
bus Statesman, we find exactly what Gen.
SHERMAN did say. It is as follows:
He said that it had been asserted IN some
quarters that he was unfriendly to Gen. Cox,
the Republican candidate for Governor, who
sat at bis right. This was mistake. He had
always spoken kindly of the general and COM
mended him as gentleman. and as having dis.
charged his duty in the late war; but he
doubted the policy of Gen. Cox's giving up
major generals commission for the governor
ship. He could not do it but he supposed
that Gen. Cox thought he had surer thing to
be governor than to retain his position In the
army.
Gen. Sherman was careful not to say that he
would support Gen. Cox for Governor and he
yor of the radicalism, whose standard bearer
General Cox is. ~ :"
Commenting upon this, the Statesman
editorially says: :, ,as.,,.,a al s
Gen. Sherman, in his speech. at the north
front Of the State House, on Thursday, said
that he had received his lessons in patriotism
and good government from the statesmen Of.
the past generation-from the Statesmen of the
old scho0l-and that he preferred now % turn
to them for advice and doctrine, rather than to
the politicians Of the modern school. he In
