Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1866-08-30

The GAINESVILLE Courier relates this anec
dote OfGeneral Sherman:
In conversation with a number of Off
GERS at his headquarters in the fall of 1864,
the Presidential election was touched upon,
when some of the number addressed Gen.
Sherman with:
General, who will you vote for?"
Il shall vote for neither"
Not vote, that is very strange"
':Ill tell you why" said the General. Il
never voted but once and then disfran-
chised myself"
Such looks ofwonder and increduility as
this produced may be imagined but the
General, paying no attention thereto pro-
ceeded:
II never voted for President but once in
my life, and that was for Buchanan, and |
am since satisfied that any person who was
id fool enough TO do that, has not sense
enough to exercise the elective franchise
| disfranchised myself and consequently
shall not vote"

The Apology for the LatO Mas
S1CrF.

The defense made for the massacre in
New Orleans is utterly impOtent and con
temptible. Ii consists In calling the assem-
bly, of the convention illegal, and in SLAM
dering the Radical leaders, and in declar-
ing that they meant to inauguratc civil war
and to do all kinds of horrible deeds. No
other justification of fierce and wanton
slaughter of innocent men is attempted.
Now, as we showed last week, no meet
inc whatever, for The purpose of discussion
or delibcration, assembled under any call
whatever, is Illegal in this country. The
right of the people peaceably TO assemble
to consider public affairs, is undeniabic. If
the circumstances of the case excite apprc-
hension of probable disturbance, the au-
thoriiies are to take measures to keep the
peace at any cost. But to denounce a de
Lucrative meeting in advance as Itself
threatening to the public peace, and to de
clare an intention OF dissolving il by an ar
rest of its members before word is spoken
or a deed done, is a proceeding which in
vites the riot il affects to qucll.
John I. Monroe. a bitter rebel, whom
the President pardoned that he might be
Mayor of New Orleans, undertakes to de-
clare in advance that a meeting of citizens
to discuss public questions is calculated TO
disturb the public peace. is therefore un-
lawful, and that he shall disperse it and ar
rest the participants. Thus no meeting of
the citizens of the United States in New
Orleans, for any purpose whatever. which
John I. Monroe may consider calculated
to disturb the peace, is to be permitted
His whim constitutes legality in that city,
and disregard of it was the 'illegality ofthe
convention, whose members were therefore
justifiably and lawfully massacred. This is
the Conservative defense of that tragedy
and il needs no reply.
Mr.. John T. Monroe, if he was once a
STAKEHOLDER, may have made his will law
upon his slave plantations. but he and his
Conservative apoligists will learn, as bor
der ruifians learned in Kansas, that city
of the United States is not his slave planta-
tion.-Ifarpr's Weekly.

GROUND. last character assumed by
this great and good man. Butler, is
that of an avenger in hot pursuit Of Gen.
Robert E. Lee. We are informed he
says if "Gen. Lee is not punished, then
has he, (Butler) shed his blood in vain"
Several interesting questions arise at this
point. When and where did Butler
"sbed" any blood during the course Of
the war? Was it at Big Bethel? Was
it at Bermuda Hundreds? Was it at
Fort Fisher? Did any body ever hear Of
even cat scratching him in New Orr
leans? Did splinter even stick in him
while ruling Norfolk and Portsmouth,
Yet this pure patriot, who believes that
money is the root of all evil" and has
been doing his best to extirpate the
"root" wherever he has been, says be
has lost "blood." If Butler really has
lost blood, even tsaspoonful, (no refec-
ton intended in using this word, then
we agree that Gen. Lee shall pay him
back, drop for drop, the amount expend-
ed; and we will moreover guarantee that
it shall be q better article than what he
alleges to have "shed." If be can estab-
lish that even his nose bled during the
war, he shall be reimbursed with an
equal amount of blood, far better than his
own. Can any proposition be fairer'
But, at the same time, we respectfully
suggest that be shall repay those whom
he has made bleed { We do not mean in

the suffering South. When there is any
talk Of blood, Butler ought to remember
that (Outside of any bleeding performed
in battle, he owes about as much as be

because we honestly believe he is as in
nocent as babe unborn Of ever having

OLD DE B rs.

The following well-timed remarks
from the "Copiahan." are in the line Of
policy recommended by this journal.
We are greatly panied to hear that in
some counties large number of suits are
being instituted. This will greatly OPP
press the people and cripple the re-
sources Of the country. Lawyers and
printers will evidently reap gold enhar-
vest from this liberal course on the part
of creditors ; but neither lawyers nor
printers are composed Of that genus homo
which would thrive on the distress Of the
people. Hence their general advice to
leniency. We are inclined to the opin-
ion that as matter of pecuniary policy
creditors would do well not to sue at this
most inoportune time. 1t is far better
to give to the distressed debtor. by way
of compromise. what the lawyers. officers
of court. and newspapers will get If suits
are pushed to execution. Consider the
common veal. and don't parayze the
energies of the people by the ungenerous
attempt to sacrifice their property before
they have had time to breathe.

HrsH TESTIMONY IN BEHALF OF THE
SourH.-Wheu the Senate Of Virginia
was about to adjourn, a unanimous vote
of thanks was rendered to Lieutenant
Governor Cowper, the presiding officer
Of that body. who responded in a hand

the following
"And l believe solemnly that, of all
the citizens Of the United States, the PEG
Die of the Southern States are the most
thoroughly loyal to that Constitution
And these are The sentiments Of the CHG
Magistrate Vt the n0tiOn-nsy. i know it,
and they are the sentiments Of the best
part Of his Cabinet, who are now, to-day
standing, supporting and encouraging the
Executive in the position be has taken"
These are not the words Of what is
called rebel" They are the words Of
an original and consistent Union man,
who opposed secession from Grsi to last;
and who. for bis fidelity to the Union
cause. was elected BY the UDiouists to
the high position be nov fll'. This tes-
timony to thr loyalty Of the Southern
people deserves therefore to be written in

A Few Moro Correlative Thoughts from
Punch.


The best sort Of woman is one who can
turn her hand to anything. trim a boat
and bonnet too.
There is bankruptcy even in the nat
ural world. The day breaks and the
light fails
Are you welded to- your own opinions!
Then never court inquiry.
There is an old book called THE
Praise of Folly" Authors, actors, and
artists who are suffering from the effects
Of too much literary pastry in the shape
Of puss, might compile an instructive
work, and name it The Folly Of Praise. F"
II may be easy to cook accounts, but it
is very hard matter to digest them.
Some people like to argue in vicious
circle; We prefer to talk in vlrtuOu'
square.
If you jump at conclusions, you may
take leap in the dark.

it from the finger Of another negro wo-
