A few days before the inauguration,
Mr.. GRANT told a committee of political
adventurous, who called upon him to
"see about the chances" that he did
not approve of filling civil offices with
military men, and in order to give a
practical illustration of his consistency
he retained General SCHOFIELD in his
Cabinet as Secretary of War, and then
relieved him by the appointment OF
General RAwLINs to the same position.

Burn IL Up.

The army officers are finding master
in the new General, whose Russian
manners are not more acceptable than
were Stanton's in other days. 1t is re-
ported that on Wednesday high army
officer called upon General Sherman
to ask for the detention of another
officer in this city for about month,
pending tie sale of property belonging
to the Lincoln barracks. 81 can't do
it," said Sherman, "he must go to
Charleston right away" "But l need
him to assist in disposing of the property
of the barracks" said the officer. Cant
help it, sir" said Sherman. "Well,
what am to do with the property P'
interrosated the officer. "Burn it up,
sir; burn it up, sir" responded Sher-
man. Gail right, General; put that in
writing and l will commence the burn
ing tomorrow morning." replied the
officer. "How much property is there
in the barracks, sirf" asked Sherman,
"About 100000 WORTH" answered the
officer. "Burn it up, sir-burn it up,
sir w exclaimed Sherman again. "Put
it in writing, General" again requested
the officer. Sherman again reiterated
his "Burn it up, sir-burn it up, sir"
and then added, "The fact is, General,
want to get all the officers l can out of
this city of Washington. 1t is bad
place, General. 1t is corrupting their
morals, and the sooner they are away
from here the better" But" said the
officer again, "do you really wish me to
burn up the propertyp "Well," an
swered Sherman, "you had better sell it
offas soon as possible, and get rid of
it," Not long after certain General
called upon Sherman TO ask about his
assignment to a department. "What
department 7" asked Sherman, turning
sharply upon his questioner." "The De.
partment of Washington" said the as
founded General. THAT Department
was busted up yesterday. There is no
such department any longer" answered
Sherman in his gruffest tone. The Gen
eral left headquarters in the highest dis
gust.
Grant and Sherman can run the ma
chine by the short cut. If things don't
suit they will "bust 'em up" or "burn
'em up."-PiHSburqh Post.
