Views of General Sheridan.

A despatch to the New York Times
from Philadelphia gives the follow
ing report Of the remarks made by
General Sheridan, in the cars be-
tween Washington and Baltimore:
On the cars coming from Baltimore
General Sheridan spoke as follows
upon the vital subject of the hour:
.'The reconstruction acts of Con
gress are the only measures calculat-
ed to benefit the people of the South
crn States. All my acts while in
command Of the Department of Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana were not on :
" fully endorsed by General Grant
but in reality might be considered
the execution Of General Grants own
orders. IF the first letter written by
General Grant to President Johnson,
regarding my removal, was to be
made public, the people of the North
would be astonished at its radical
tone; and when it is published the
people will find that he( Grant, Is
Radical to the core.
"As far as Radicalism is concerned
General Grant is more so than | am
and in several instances | have writ
ten to him asking him to modify the
instructions sent me as being too ex'
IRENE to suit the occas on for which
they were intended"
The General spoke freely and un'
reservedly during the passage of The
cars from Washington to Baltimore
on the prominent topics of the day,
aud his views respecting reconstruc-
ton are Of the most Radical stamp.
When near this city Sheridan re
marked "If tue rebels get into
power through the policy of Andrew
johnson, then the rebellion becomes
honorable, and loyalty and Unionisn
dishonorable; and, after having saeri
feed 50 many lives in the suppression
of the rebellion. / am IN tdUor Of de

s9-A telegram from Cincinnati
says: The Enquirer, assuming to be
well informed, declares that if Con-
gress attempts to impeach Andrew
johnson he will resist with all the
forces at his command"
The "forces at Andrew Johnson's
command" can be easily counted. Fall
staff had an army in buckram, but
Johnson has not The forces at bis
command arc Senator Patterson, ex-
Brigadier General Bob Johnson, and
his Secretary, "ColoneP' Browning.
The Maryland MALTA will be wants
ed to shoot down the Yankees as
they pass through Baltimore. OF
course Andrew Johnson must be in>
cluded in the catalogue of the forces;
and these four men will have good
time resisting Congress. In the
matter ofimpeachment, it does not
require that the person on trial shall
be present. 1t is a proceeding
against him officially, and he may
attend or not, as he pleases. Should
he be convicted and removed from
office, then and not till then will he
have any occasion to resist with all
the forces at his command" When
the Senate shall have deposed An

CoFFINs WITH BELLs.-The French
rival our own conntrymen IN the
novelties to which inventive genius
liz applied. Among late list OF pat
ents granted at Paris is one for ''cof-
fins with bells (cercueits a sdnnettes)
for cases of premature burial" This
device must be an inexpressible con
ISOLATION TO those people whose chief
anxiety is lest they should be buried
alivo. But the great question is how
the merits of this very wonderful in
vention were tested. Did some ar
dent devotee of science allow himself
to be prematurely coffined and seal
ed up for some minutes, until the
bells could be heard above ground
1t strikes one that the chances OF be-
ing conveniently within hearing al

could they be heard, must be SC
slight as to be hardly worth count

The INDIANs.-Thc Peace Com
missioners are not meeting with that
entire success requisite to ensure the
safety of the scalps of white men
through all the Indian countries.
Some of the bands are anxious for
peace,-and gunpowder, which is be-
ing given them, while others wants
ing the ''villaiaoas salt petre" just
as badly, are defiant and rcsolute in
their declarations that the whites
shall keep out of their territory, and
that the railroad shall not be built
| beyond Fort Hays. 1t is almost
certain that determination must
eventually be the only means adopt

cific Railroad. As between that and
the desertion of the important enter
prise we presume there will be slight
hesitation. Plain Indians will nev
