Johnny BrOugh.

The Cleveland Leader, the leading alb.

ing Of the next abolition nomination for
Governor, says:
"In Sherman's army, General J. Dol
son Cox is the favorito. The Department
Of the Cumberland will present the name
Of General James B. Steadman, while in
the valley Of Virginiu the claims Of Brig
adler General R, B. Hayes are cauvassed.'
Everything we see in the abolition pa

Letter from Gerritt Smith.

Gerritt Smith, the distinguished New
York Abolitionist, and some years ago
the Abolition candidate for President Of
the United States, has addressed a letter
to President johnson, suggesting the pol
icy he should pursue towards the South
aud tho leaders Of the rebellion.
We make some extracts from the let
ter, which will be found on our first page,
and which, we have no doubt, will be
generally read with interest.
Mr.. Smith is now far advanced in
years, and the greater portion Of his life
has been devoted to the single idea Of the
abolition Of negro slavery. This was his
"ruliDg passion" and to this end he has
devoted all his energies. He is a man Of
very considerable ability, and we pre-
sumo no one Doubt the honesty Of his
lnIentlOnB.
He now desires the President to exhib
Il the spirit Of clemepcy and humanity
towards the Southern people. He is op.
posed to all cruel and violent measures
aud advises o kind and humane policy or
the part Of the Administration, as the
surest way 10 avoid blood-shed and an
archy in tho future between the two sec
tons of the country. No one can doub
that his views are dictated, in this case
by wisdom and patriotism, and that ne 4
prompted to this course by pure and un
selfish motives.
What effect his letter will have upol
the "powers that be" is at least profile
NAUTICAL. Its not unlikely that the radi
cal and blood.thirsty element in the dom
inant party will prevail. We must pa
ticntly await the progress Of events

Cancellation.

Most ofthe Administration press agree
that something should be done to concil
late the South but they fail to agree on
any one measure. One is Of the opinion
that what is understood as Free Trade
would be salutary, and, therefore, should
be enacted into law by Congress. An
other thinks hat the leaders in Rebellion
should be tried, convicted and executed
for treason, and that the mass c. the
Rebels should be DISTINGUISHED. Yet an
other thinks the South should be thrown
open to unrestricted trade, as that would
be the surest way of diverting the minds
Of the people from the War and its I'M
pleasant associates. And yet another ar.
CUES hat the Rebel masses should be
d~isfranchised and the negroes given the
privilege Of voting; while another, who
is intensely friendly to the freed slaves
is for extending leniency and mercy tc
the Rebels by way of inducing them :,
adhere faithfully to the Union and to &C
anonymously toward the freedom

Moves Slowly.

President Johnson does not mcvs quite
fast enough in the hanging business to
suit malignants of his party. They
think he talks well enough about it, bu,
he doesn't begin the business aud they
are becoming apprebensive that if "lead
ers" at tho South shall become "penitcn'
they will be pardoned." This way o
treating the Rebels will not satisfy blood
minded clergyu.eu, who have undertaken
to enlighten tho people as to the will o
Providence. There used to be preachers
however, who taught, and there may ye
be- some who teach, that the Lord would
pardon the c%ontrite aud peni,ent sinner
no matter how gravely he had ofende'
against His laws.

Calves.

1t is highly proper for every person to
honor the dead, especially the distinguish.
ed, and to discountenance assassinations
and personal violence, no matter by or on
whom committed. A most horrii crime
caused the death Of our late President,
and it is christian like in every citizen
to denounce it, to forget the faults of Nh
Lincoln and remember only his virtues,
And we would give him especial praise
for his recently adopted policy Of con.
c%iliation toward the erring people Of the
South; a policy that would soon lead to
peace and Union throughout the length
and bredth Of the land, But we think
there is considerable "calf' in the com
position of those WHO take back all they
have ever said against his administration
and virtually admit that they were wrong
in ~denouucing arbitrary arrests, protest.
Jog against bastiles and objecting to usur-
paticrs. We de not wish to name any Of
our exchanges in this connection, but we
would respectfully ask some Of them to
consider these things. We have not for.

The Herald's Washington says upon
the arrival here Of Gen. Sherman, it is
probable that a very spicy correspondence
between him and General Halleck, will
be brought to light. The original letters
are not here, but the following is the sub.
stance of them:
GEN. HALLEcK TO GEN. SHERMAN.
As You will be in Richmond in a few
days, allow me to offer you the hospitali-
ties of my house here, where l shall be
gratifed to receive you, and contribute
to make your %sojourn here agreeable.
GEN. SHERMAN TO GEN. HALLEoK.
Your proffered hospitality is respect
fully declined. I had hoped to pass
through Richmond without the painful
necessity of meeting you. Your recent
IaRdyisory dispatch to the War Department,
is a sufficient explanation.
GEN. HALLEcK TO GEN SHERMAN.
1 regret your declining my invitation,
and the unfriendly spirit manifested in
youe note. If you knew the feeling in
Washington and at the War Department;
in reference to your agreement with John.
son, you wonld appreciate the motive Of
my dispatch to which you refer. Permit
me to assure you of my kind feeling to
ward you personally, and my high admi
ration for your services.
GEN. SHERMAN TO GEN. HALLECK.
I think I understand both the circum
stances and the note sufficiently to appre
ciate the motives of your dispatch. Boil
you and Mr., Stanton sent me warning t,
beware of assassins. | did not then know
that the authors Of the warning wer,
themselves the assassins | had to fear.
