A Conversation WITH SHERIDAN.--A cor
respondent of the OHIO Statesman has visited
Gen. Sheridan at the residence of his parents
in Ohio, where he is now visiting. The report
of portion of the conversation with the cor
respondent will be found interesting:
FThe papers report you, General, as having
SAID that Grant was more radical than YOUR
self; how doiyou make that out?" ST said SO, /"
returned the General, sand prove it thus
When first took command Of the Fifth Dis
trlct Gen. Grant sent me an order to allow no
man to SIT on jury who could not take the
iron-clad OATH mildly demonstrated against
this, and wrote to the General requesting a
modification of the order, so that all who
might cote might also sit upon Jury This
he did accordingly, and it was for this very
radical order and its modification to suit me
that said ne was more radical than myself"
Inc oath referred. to requires man to swear
that he never bore arms against the United
States, Or acknowledged allegiance to the
Southern Contederacy, or gave to the enemies
OF the United States aid, comfort or encour-
agement. 1t is, therefore, called the ";rou-
Clad" But Sheridan found many who could
not take this oath who had been forced into
rebellion, and who had been clothed with the
right OF suffrage, and to this class he very prop
erly accorded right to situpon tae jury. a.
all he could to sustain you?" sa01 h5tf13
~ undoubtedly" was his reply. Everything
did was under direct order from him, or un-
der his Endorsement or approval. To fall out
with me, therefore, was to fall out with Grant
himself In few days you will read q letter
from Gen. Grant protesting against my re-
moyal," mot then publishedJ which will de-
monstrate to the public what I say to you"
"Will Grant certainly be candidate for
PRESIDENT" .Not by his own choice, prompt
ly returned Sheridan; but if he accepts the
nomination believe he will do SO from mo-
tives of duty to his friends and country, in
the spirit of sacrifice and patriotism, for which
he is so remarkably distinguished"
will the Congressional policy of recon-
struction succeed?" Another Whit at his
pipe, and his answer was as ready as an old
time statesman's: "Of course it mast succeed.
1t is too late to go backward. The negro has
been admitted to the ballot-box. All the pow
or on earth cannot keep it from him nou. He
has not only been taught to read, but to cote
also. He can unlearn neither the one nor the
other. When he was mustered into the mill
tary service as a soldier, his right to vote was
decreed. In assuming the highest and most
solemn duty of the citizen-the defence of
his country-as soldier, all minor privileges
and duties at once attached to him. He is
therefore voter by virtue of having become a
fighter, tax payer, a citizen"

STENwAY & Sons, PIANO-FoRTEs.- A strik-
ing evidence OF the civilization and refinement
of a people is found not only in the cultivation
of music andithe progress made in this divine
art and science, but also in the manufacture of
musical instruments. The Americans have
never been considered musical. people like
the Germans and Italians, but it must be con-
fessed that we have made great progress in
music within few years past, and our march
seems now to be onward and upward in must
cal taste and science. Musical teachers have
increased in numbers and ability, and the man
utacture of musical instruments has reached
a degree of perfection that attracts the atten-
ton of the civilized world. Beginning in a
small way and without any aid except their
own musical genius, taste, perseverng energy
and skill, Steinway & Sons of New York City
have made their mark in the world, and their
Piano-Fortes took the medal Distinctly class
ed as the first in the order of. merit" at the
Universal Exposition at Paris, 1867. The
unanimous decision of two juries, affirmed by
the Imperial Commission, places these instru-
ments at the head of all others. This is an
honor well deserved, and one of which manu-
facturers in any country might well be proud.
We are glad this mantle has fallen upon the
shoulders of such skilfuI and accomplished
mechanics as Stei lway & Sons. We care not
what city claims them as residents 80 long az
they live our country, and American Piano
Fortes carry off the highest prize. The repu-
tstion and fame of such workmen are MOI con-
lined to one city, but belong to the whole
country. TWAS once asked contemptuously,
"Who reads an American book?" That ques-
ton long ago lost its edge, and we think the
time has now gone by when the question can
be asked, who plays on an american iano-
Forte2p Stsinway 8 Sons have vetoed any
such contemptuous questions, and their instru-
ments are sought the world over.

REVIVAL OF THE SHOE BUSINESS IN LYNN
The Lynn Transcript says that there appears
to be change for the better in the prospect Of
trade there. In fact, quite large number Of
buyers were in the city during last week, and
some of them have made purchase to consid.
cradle amount. The stocks of boots in the
manufactures are unusually light. Many Of
the manufacturers are putting on more "teams,
in anticipation OF fair trade in spring goods
The wages OF operatives in all departments Of
the work are low yet, but they hope for better
times soon. 1t is thought by many that bust
ness will be good by the middle of February.

~ A NOVEL MODE OF DIsPosINa OF AN In
FANT.-A most singular mode of abandoning
an infant was adopted by some unknown per-
son on Thursday night. During the evening
a large Newfoundland dog was noticed pass,
ing along Second avenue, carrying q bundle
in his teeth. He stopped in front of No. ,45l
walked deliberately up the stoop, dropped the
bundle at the doorstep, and then scampered
of. Mrs Van Wrinkle, one of the occupants OF
the premises, went to the door and opened the
bundle. Much to her establishment, it was
found to contain female infant about week
old. The Mortified lady placed the waif in
charge OF policeman. who transferred the

JNDoE TRuMBULL, chairman of the Senate
judiciary committee, who appears for the gov
eminent in the eases which involve the ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the reconstruc-
ton acts, now pending in the Supreme Court,
Is little troubled about the manner in which
they will be disposed of. 1t seems that the cur
rent runor concerning the five judges who
are supposed to believe the reconstruction acts
unconstitutional, rests wholly. on report that
Mr.. Justice Field, Californian and an APP
pointee of Lincoln, told Senator Doolittle that
a majority of the Court hold the opinion above
indicated. Judge Trumbull does not believe
this, for if true it would reflect great discredit
upon Justice Field, since it is unusual for the
judges of the Supreme Court to indicate their
opinion upon any subject which IL before
them, until they have heard the arguments OF
counsel. Trumbull thinks that if the decision
OF the Court were to be pronounced next week
It would not declare the reconstruction acts
unconstitutional. .--a ..srU

TIE Custom HoUsE.-Collector Washburns
commission expired Saturday, and as our
readers are aware. there is some difference OF
OF opinion as to whether he is to hold over I'M
til a successor is duly qualified or not. The
first section of the tenure-of Office act provides
that every person holding any civil Office to
which he has been appointed by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, shall be en-
titled to hold such office until a successor shall
have been in like manner appointed and duly
qualified" This is explicit enough, and is
what common sense and common usage alike
require; but on the other hand, the fourth sec
tion Of the same law declares 'that nothing in
this act contained shall be construed to ex.
tend the term of any office, the duration of
which Is limited by law" and this is held by
some people to apply to all offices except those
whose tenure is for good behavior. 1t does
apply to such offices, but Of course was not in
tended to contradict the first section which ex-
pressly provides for an administration ad inter-
: i'm, at the expiration Of term fixed by law
That Mr.. Wahsburn during the past four years
has proved himselfa useful officer acceptable
alike to the community and to the department
he represents, it is needless to say. That the
experience of these four years has qualified
him for the administration of his Office better
than the gentleman whom the President, on
merely partisan grounds, has nominated for
his successor, is too plain for dispute. Hfl,i 9
The resignation Of Mr. Bird, the senior
deputy collector, announced Saturday morn
ing, depriyes the custom house of the services
Of an accomplished officer and honest man.
Per contra VIC are glad to record the appoint
ment of Mr.. Rich who was sworn in as Junior
deputy and entered upon the duties of his
office Saturday. Mr., Rich has for years been
laboring in behalf of our business interests;
he originated and for seven years has publish
ed the Price-Current; he has been for Eve
years Secretary Of the Board of Trade; in
short he has been qualifying himself tor this
new service in strictly legitimate way, and
the appointment will be all the more satisfac-
tory because he has never been known as an
active politician. ...r .t-..g --o.sr .
