Gen. Sherman,s Tcslimony.

After long struggle the Presidents coun-
Gen. Sherman's testimony respecting the
Presidents professions ON the 27th and Both
of January when he rendered the appoint
ment of Secretary of War dd interim to the
witness. The Senate finally consented to
waive the technical objections to the intro
duction of evidence consisting simply of the
declarations of the accused, and the sub
stance of the conversations was rected. 1t
does not appear that the Presidents case is
thereby improved. Gen. Sherman, in the
first place, testifes that the President did not
even pretend at that time, that he wanted to
get judicial decision. These are the Gen.
erals words:
He did not state to me then that his pur-
pose was to bring it to the courts directly; but
for the purpose of having the Office admins
tered properly.
What properly" means, in the Presidents
vocabulary, we have had too many opportu-
mites to know. He desired to have the Of
fee so administered as, in the language OF
General Grant, "by opposition to the laws re-
lating to the restoration of The Southern
States to their proper relation to the govern
ment, to embarrass the army in the perform.
ance of the duties especially imposed upon it
by the laws" This proposition seems to
have struck General Sherman as one which
might lead to disagreeable complications
He proceeds: ..... .5..
asked him why lawyers could not make a
case, and not bring me, as an officer, into
| the controversy. His answer was that it was
| found impossible.
| The Senate illjudge whether this alleged
| impossibility was real. Good lawyers hold
that the President had an ample remedy if hi
| had chosen to test the law by ieigned issue
| 1t appears that he preferred to break it out
| right, and take the consequences, one o
| which, as he should have foreseen, was i'm
parchment.
Gen. Sherman further testified that the EN-
ployment of force was talked of, but the mat
ter was dismissed without reaching any con
| clusion. He says:
| l inquii ed, "Suppose Mr.. Stanton do no
| yield, what then shall be done?" oh" saiC
| he, +" there is no necessity of considering tha
| question; upon the presentation OF an order III
| will simply go away.
| If this is what the President expected, h'
has been greatly disappointed. Meanwhile
let the country mark the discrepancy betwee1
the statement to General Sherman that th'
purpose of removing Secretary Stanton wa
simply to have that office administered
properly" and the Presidents apologize mes

says, 81 have appealed, or sought to appea

The Rnhlic nebf.

We made mistake in announcing the
increase in the Public Debt on Tuesday
morning. We stated that the Public Debt
during the month of May was Increased
two millions, twenty-four thousand and
two hundred and thirty-fou dollars. We
wrote before the full exhibit had been re-
,eived. The later and fuller exhibit shows
hat the Public Debt In the month of May
was increased the extraordinary sum of
nine millions seuen hundred and seventeen thou
sand and Jpts-aine dollars and eighteen cents.
It is said, by way of explanation, that this
increase is osoing chiefly to heavy payments Of
interest.
With the life and substance taxed out OF
almost everything, not sufficient is realized
to meet the expenditures of the Govern
ment as carried on and to pay the interest
on the Public Debt; hut yet more is being
added to the mountain OF debt that Is crush
ing everything.
Is it wonder that the people are begin
ming to think that there is necessity for
a change? Is it remarkable that they do
not run into enthusiasm over the nominal
tiono of GRANT? What more natural than
that they should be turning their eyes to
PENDLEToN, the only man who has had the
sagacity to discover and the boldness to
advocate that line of policy that will give
them relief, as the man who shall deliver
them from the thraldom that is making
them the hewers of wood and drawers Of

Science Advances.

As soon as an article purporting to be of utility
has been tested. and its merits endorsed by public
opinion, unprncipled parties endeavor to repenish
their depleted purses by counterfeting and subst-
tuting a spurious for the genuine article. Some

So says the NeD 7 orE Herald, and 1t says
truly. No Presidential nomination ever
fell more fiat or was more indifferently re-
ceived. The bold, bad men who have run
the country to the verge of destruction,
thought that General GRANTS popularity
is such that his nomination would inspire
the widest enthusiasm. The people are
not the gulls they have been taken to be.
They want Retrenchment, Reform, Econ
omy, equality in Taxation and One Kind Of
Currency for All. Put PENDLEroN on the
track, and the people will show you enthu-
siasm. In him they recognize hope.
Strike him and his colors down, and exalt
some one of doubtful political gender in
bis stead, and we shall have the dullest
Presidential campaign that was ever
fought in this country. 1t will be con-
test in which the people will have no part
or lot.

health, to resign that position.

Two Things in PendIeton's Favor.

u
The New York Sun, which just now is
vigorously engaged working up sentiment
in behalf of Chief Justice CHASE as the
Democratic nominee for President, stops to
admit that the fact that the Democracy of
Oregon won the recent election on the issue
of PENDLEToN and Greenbacks, will tell
powerfully in favor of Mr.. PENDLEToN, in
the Convention; and the fact that Mr..
PENDLEToN was the first one to take action
in the Federal House of Representatives on
General GRANTS barbaric order expelling
the Jews from the Department of the Ten
nessee, issued Dec. IL, 1862, will help him
in Convention, inasmuch as the Israelites
are likely to remember him kindly for it.
Be assured, many circumstances will con-
spire to nominate Mr.. PENDLEToN. EN-
phatically, he is the Peoples Man.
