SHERIDAN MovING.-Geheral Sheridan
is going right ahead, as he always did.
Yesterday he removed Governor Throck
morton, of Texas, on the ground that he
was an obstruction to reconstruction,
and appointed in his place f. n. Pcase,
who ran rs the Union candidate for Gov
ernor in opposition to the removed of
ticial.-- Gazette.
The spectacle Of a General in the army
removing, by his ukase, the Governor of
a sovereign State, turning out the man
whom the people elected, and putting in
his stead one whom they refused to elect.
is vastly pleasing to the Gazette 1t is an
exhibition of military supremacy over
the civil power that attests how utterly
our free institutions have been subverted
and destroyed Well may the enemies of
liberty, the enemies of the people,
chuckle at the submission Of the latter to
the chains in which they are bound.
In 1866 the people Of Texas had an
election for Governor, which resulted as
follows:
Governor-Throckmorton 4S67l
+. NJ. Pease, 1205l
Pease was the Radical candidate, and
the people intimated that they did not
want him by vote of four to one But
Of what avail is vote Of the people of a
sovereign State? The choice was not
satisfactory to that most important per-
sonage, General Sheridan, known as
"Philip, Duke of Orleans" who is now
governing the South west after the fash
ION of an Emperor Cincinnati Enquirer.

sylvania composed Of SIR hundred members. II
is also worth consideration whether, if por-
tion of the members of our State Legislatures
were chosen by general ticket as Representa-
tives of the whole State, the result would not
be to secure the services of better class of
men than we get as general rule under the
present system. We have carried the idea Of
local representation to a great extent in this
country, and we would not see it abandoned.
STILL on the other hand it is apparent, on a
moments reflection that the State, as a single
great community, is deeply interested in many
of the subjects of legislation, and should have
its special representatives. Under our present
system each local representative has his own
little local schemes and interests to look after
and these he prosecutes with but slight regard
for the good of the State at large. Hence grows
up that system oflog-rolling so much in vogue
in legislatures, the u-vote-for-my-bill-a and
Pll-vote-for-yeurs style of tactics, by virtue of
which so many rascally schemes get pushed
through together, no one of which could begin
to pass alone.
If there were portion of the members
chosen to represent the whole State, and
having no local interests whatever to sub
serve, this evil would be much more seriously
resisted that it is now. The position of men,
Der at large would also be a much more re-
sponsble and honorable one than that of the
ordinary member for certain district, and
would thus command the services of a higher
class of men.
We have thus sketched, somewhat in detail,
some of the remedies that present themselves
to our mind against the evil of legislative
corruption. We commend the subject to the
careful reflection of our readers. Honest men
of all parties are interested in securing a
reform; for it must be confessed that, if the
corruption and venality which now seem to
characterize our legislative bodies were to be-
come chronic, we might well question whether
popular government were not, after all, a delu-
sion and a failure

M. de sainte- -Aulaire has issned a SECOND

M. de Sainte Aulaire has issued a second
edition of his Correspondence Complete de
Madame du Defaud," which contains, in the
shape of fresh materials, number of letters
addressed by the Duchess de Choiseul to
Madame du Defaud, besides series which
the latter scribbled to a NJ. Crawford, who is
only remembered in history from his having
introduced her to Horace Walpole. The new
letters shed no new light on Madame du
Deffaud, whom WalpoIe characterized as
'exaeting beyond belief"

Free Speech at the South.

OUR Democratic contemporary is very much
dispeased with Senator Wilson's Southern
stumping tour. We do not wonder at its dis
gust. 1t is something so unusual for anybody
but so-called Democrat to be allowed to make
political speeches at the South, that our con-
temporary seems to have obtained the impress
sion that nobody else has any right to do so.
This is mistake. We are not living any
longer, thank God, under the old pro-slavery
Democratic regime of mobs and bowie-knives
and revolvers. Free speech is the order of the
day, South as well as North. One of the ends
of the war was to make it possible, by the
overthrow of the pro-savery aristocracy, for
just such men as Henry Wilson to speakin per-
feet safety anywhere from Washington to New
Orleans. After Wilson gets through, we are
going to send some other Republican leaders
down there to talk to the people. Our con-
temporary may not like this, but what is it
going to do about the matter? That's the
question.

JEFF. DAVIS AS A WoMAN.-The official re-
port of the Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives in regard to the capture of Jeffer-
son Davis, leaves no doubt but that he was dis
guised in his wife's clothes. The fact is sworn
to by General Wilson and several of his officers,
and was acknowledged by Mrs. Davis after
the capture. So the "stern statesmans"
friends might have spared themselves the
trouble of an elaborate denial of his conduct.

A FURRY About a Missing Bond.
Quite a furry was created at the Treasury
Department last night by the fact that all the
employees of the Printing Bureau, fifty males
and several hundred females, were detained
while search was being made for a missing
sheet that was being printed for thousand
dollar certificate of indebtedness. The en-
ployes were detained some hours, but the miss
ing sheet was not found.

The EUROPEAN WAR.-If there is any re-
lance to be placed on the cable dispatches, we
may infer that war between France and Prussia
is imminent. The recall of Marshal Mcmahon
to Paris, and the oancelling of all furloughs in
the French army, look ominous, and it is pro-
bable that within a month hostilities will be
actually commenced. That the news is true
we may infer from the fact that United
States bonds declined } per cent, and the
Change and Bourse are once more dull and
full of distrust. We fear that two successive
summers will see a European war.

The ssAcademy of Fine ATts' and
NThe Artists Fund SOcietY.v

THE opening of the Spring Exhibition at the
Academy of Fine Arts has once more turned
popular attention to the subject OF art, and
centred the interest of the world, satiated with
the gayeties of the season of balls and operas,
on the subjects of painting and sculpture. OF
the merits of the display of the present year we
have already spoken; of the particular beauties
of each contribution we will continue to treat
in the future. The field of criticism we leave at
present unoccupied, and desire TO call attention
TO what all lovers of art must witness WIN SIN
cere regret. While the walls OF the nVe spa
cious galleries devoted to the COLLECTION are
covered with better contributions than we nave
seen for many years. yet at the same time the
dearth of the productions of our native artlsIs
is very palpable. The schism in the world OF
art which gave birth to the ARTISTS Fund So
ciety" is one which has occasioned considerable
anxiety and no small sorrow among those who
have an honest desire to see the taste of the
| people elevated, and proper critical apprecia-
ton of art secured to the great mass of our
citizens.
| The cause Of the secession of the resident
artists, TO a considerable number. is found, as
nearly as we can discover, in the alleged slight
put upon their works by the Hanging Com
mittee of the Academy. They complained that
the best places were given to foreign works.

sci stated that they should be prepared to de-
fend the case on the Goth of May. The Dis
trict Attorney named the 18th of June,
when the counsel, after protest, left the
court, stating that they would ask for trial
on the Goth proximo.
