SENATOR SHERMAN on THE WRONG TAoG-
The Senator from Ohio has always enjoyed a
very enviable reputation for honesty, integrity
and common sense. His recent speech In the
Senate upon the differences between the Pres-
dent and Congress was admirable in its tone,
irrcfuiablc In most OF its conclusions and was
received with respect by men of all parties
and factions. But his speech at a political
meeting at Bridgeport, Conn.,, on Saturday last,
was entirely unworthy Of his reputation. II
was the most common sort OF q stump harangue.
He undertook 10 show that the President and
Congress "stood with each other on every ma
terial question" The Senator knows better
than that. lie knows that the President insists
that the Southern States are in the Union, while
Congress contends that they are out of the
Union, dead, without the right OF representa-
ton. Is this difference immaterials He knows
that the President has denounced certain men
as Northern traitors, while Congress accepts
these men as its leaders. Is not this material

vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau bill, which Con-
eress almost unanimously adopted. Is not this
material differenccs He knows that tho
President opposes unlimited negro suffrage,

the President wishes loyal delegates from the
South TO be admitted, while Congress refuses TO

Our NEUTRALITY BETWEEN SPAIN AND CHIrr-
We perceive that one OF the Spanish war
vessels lately in the harbor of New York has
arrived at Havana, and the other has probably
gone TO some port in Spain for repairs.

war steamers we're sent here from Havana for
q double purpose, bearing upon the war be-

to have their bottoms scroped and otherwise
repaired in this port, and thus ct them for more
vigorous service against the republic OF Chile;

OBJ Fellows ANNIVERSARY
The ladies, wives of Odd Fellows, in
this city, assembled in goodly num-
bers at the De Soto Lodge Hall, on
Monday evening last, to devise ways
and means for getting up some spe-
cles of entertainment, the proceeds of
which to be appropriated for the
benefit of the destitute orphans of
Odd Fellows in our midst. 1t was
decided to arrange for a Ball and
Supper to take place on the Goth of
April next-the anniversary of the
Order in this country. The time is
well selected, as tending to give eczat
toaperiod worthy Of being celebrated,
while the BENEVOLENT object which
underlies the movement, is one we'll
calculated to inspire the hearts of all
with emotions of charity in behalf Of
the poor orphans.
May the object be crowned with
the most complete and satisfactory
results.

CURE FOR SMALL Pox.-The Richmond
Times publishes the following receipt for
the treatment of small pox: ..s
The mode OF treatment is as follows:
When the preceding fever is at its height,
and just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartaric
ointment. This causes the whole of the
eruption TO appear en- that part of the
body, to the relief of the rest. 1t also Sc
cures full and complete eruption, and
and thus prevents the disease from attack
ing the internal organs. This is said to be
the established mode of treatment in the
English army in China, by general orders,
and it is regarded as q perfect cure. )

THE CONVENTION.

We give place in our columns this week
to the address and Declaration of Principles
unanimously adopted by the late Philadel-
phis Convention. Our readers will thus
have an opportunity of judging for them
selves of the temper and tone that animated
this vast concourse of representatives from
all the States.
As might we'll be expected, there is much
in the Declaration of Principles that CRATES
barshly upon the feelings of the South.
The glorifcation over Yankee prowess-the
bounties to soldiers and widows of the
Yankee army, and the reputation of the
teuderer sympatbies of our people in rela-
tion to the late struggle, are all objectiona-
bic. The past might we'll have been left
forgotten in all respects, and these oonserv-
alive men united hand in hand, striven
only for the future. But placed in the
position of drowning man ready to grasp
at every substantial hope Of relief, the
South perhaps has acted wisely in accepting
through her delegates, the conditions of a
future Union. Powerless without the as
sistanee offered, to control any of the means
for her deliverance, her condition would
have been rendered immeasurably worse by
