What Union soldier is not proud OF
the name of Philip Sheridani His very
name was enough to inspire the boys
with enthusiasm.
Some two or three weeks ago an edi-
torial appeared in the ChillicOthe Adtur
tser, and as that paper thinks that if we
would appropriate editorials from other
papers, as it recently did with those of
the New York Day Book, our paper
would be more readable, we give this
one entire. Read it, and see how cop
perhead loves .fgtting General. No
tice the fine names given to this brave
man. ''Shallow pated little toad, stuff
ed with vanity ga mere sight of the
man, with his fiat crown, low forehead
and dull face" &c. "a little whiffet in
shoulder straps" &c. can ass, a dog
berry, the most fit and senseless man."

Phil Sheridan s one Of the Ave Military Dicta
tors of the South and includes in his division the
States Of Texas and Louisiana. Persons who
know Phil. marveled, when they read the ap-
pointmentin the papers, and at first presumed IL
TO bea complimentary joke. The idea of appoint
ing Phil. Sheridan to position 30 delicate In its
character, requiring the keenest knowledge of
krsn oh aud al.
derstnnding OF civil law and pGecedents; modera-
ton aud sound judgment, and administrative
qualities of the highest order, was such a parallel
In absurdity to the Insane freak of the Roman En-
perOr who appointed his horse his first counsel.
that the rumor was not credited until it was
gravely asserted on positive proof, that his name
had been sent to the Senate for confirmation.
The nomination Of Phil. was the price of the con.
frmatiOn OF the other appOintees of the President
The Radicals knew that the shallow pated little
toad was stuffed with vanity and would, like Jim.
Smlley'5 frog, jump further and higher at their
dictat0n than any other toad in the radical pud-
die who wears shoulder straps and they made bis
appointment for the New Orleans district the sine
qua non for securing the confirmation of other
officers OF the Presidents choosing. Phil. is quite
Young man, who has spent his entire life until
within The last five years in the lower grades of
the army; has no knowledge of civil pursuits !;
has had no intercourse with civilians In business
capacity, and has never shown genius or ability
except az mere fgbter The great battle of Ce-
dar Mountain, in which 1t was supposed he exhib-
tied the most brilliant qualities as q strategist,
and which has been woven into rhyme and mnor.
tallZed In prose- was won by Gems Wright and
Keller while Phil was still on his way from "Win-
chester town." A mere sight of the man. with
bis fiat crown, low forehead and dull face, would
convince any physlognOmst that he was not the
individual to whose caprces the lives, liberty and
property OF great commonwealth should be sub
jected.
The Radical Jim smleys have prompted and
the toad has jumped He has exercised his abso-
lutte powers by removing the properly elected
Mayor, and Judge Abel oil New Orleans and since
he has got his hand In he now proposes TO strike
at higher games, and bring down q couple of Gov
ernors who have been elected under the sovereign
power Of great States. The telegraph says
General Sheridan says General Griffin, Of Tex
as, recommends the deposition or removal of
GOV. Throckmorton, of that State, and that he
Sheridan, agrees with Griffin. Sheridan thinks
he will have TO remove the Governor of Louisiana.
He further says he will commence the work of
registration as soon as be rec elves certified copies
Of the law. That he Sheridan, feels himself
equal to the task imposed upon him by the law,
and will perform his worn with credit TO the mil
ltary."
A little whifet In shoulder straps, In this new
era Of our Republic, makes and nnmakes Cover
nors and his simple signature Is more potent than
the ballots of great people. This Is the milenl-
um Of Radlcallsm. This is the restored republic
for which the rivers Of blood and the mountains
of treasure were expended. II is cOnsollng to
know that Philip feels himself equal to the task
imposed upon him. SO did the ASS who attended
the grand concert Of the birds and the beasts and
proposed TO ofiiclate as chief chOrister. Philip Is
a very Dogberry--the most III and senseless man
TO do tho behests Of Radcalism.
