GEN. SHERIDAN.

| The following paragraphs are extracted
from Gen. Carl Schurz's speech of welcome
to Gen. Sheridan on the evening of the
9th a9i"aa @f .rg
"But in you, sir, the people see more
than merely man who can WELD sword
| ride down hostile battalions, and handle
an army on the rough edges of battle. In
you the people honor the glorious model
| of the American soldier cheers 1.-The sol
| der who is no mere unthinking machine in
| the hands of a superior will, but who knows
what he is fighting for, and whose brave
soul will never rest until the victory OF his
arms has revealed its true value in the as.
sured triumph of q great cause. Loud
applause. In you they honor the man
whose eagle eye not only never failed toseize
the decisive moment on the field OF battle,
| but seized with equal certainty the decisive
points of the great problem OF our days,
not only as the bold rider of Winchester,
and the hero of the Shenandoh Valley, and
Fifth Military District. Gen. Sheridan,
we welcome you [applause] as an honest
man. Sir you have achieved triumph
not info rior to your exploits as a soldier
You have not only shown to the enemies
of your country the invincibility Of your
arms. but the very men who hate you, you
have forced to respect and esteem you, in
spite of themselves. Even now, voices are
are coming up from the authority YOU ex-
ercised-voices which say "we detest the
laws which placed him over us, but Sheri-
dan is man" Dark as the horizon may
appear the day Is not very FIR distant
when the struggles we are now passing
through will be behind us In the records
of history--the day when the whole Amer
lean nation, north and South, willingly re-
cognizing the benefcient results of this
great revolution, will again be united hand
and heart, when the Republic will throw
her broad shield over the civil and politi-
cal rights Of all her citizens, whatever their
birth place, creed or complexion; and
when the people of these States-the PEG
ple, in the broadcast sense of the word
will again 20 on growing and prospecting
in the loyal exercise of local selfgovern-
ment. Yes, it will come in spite Of the
rebels, who have lost their fight, but did
not lose their rancor-in spite OF the in
siduous intrigues which seek to delay it
it will come, Then, General, you viii
gather your proudest laurels Of triumph.
The people of Louisiana and Texas will
say, blessed be the day which gives us the
secure reign of hearty loyalty and impair
tial Justice, and blessed be Sheridan who
so bravely broke the road.
"And the people of all the States will
ioyfully speak what they already say .As
the CLEAN of Sheridan's steel showed us the
road to victory, SO the CLEAN of Sheridan's
mind showed us the road to peace, as the
champion of peace, through justice. AS
the representative of popular thought'
Gen. Sheridan, we welcome you.
