Why GEN. SHERMAN LEFT THE WAR OFr1cs.-A
New York dispatch OF the 13th says that it was re.
ported in political circles that day. that the immediate
cause OF sherman's withdrawal from the cabinet was
disagreement with Secretary Fish on the Cuban policy
Sherman, as is we'll known, has strong sympathies for
the cause and is no particular stckler for law. At
conference held on the 9th recent dispatches from
Sickes, predicting the present extended republican
movement in Spain, under discussion when Sher

to take advantage of SPANS endorsements Partly
supported by Grants views and because Of carrying
out his predecessors urgent deathbed request sher

Cabinet, being met, however, by the solid opposition
OF Secretary Fish, who again and again reminded him
that the recognition of Cuba would be casus bell

NOVEL SEWING MAcHrNE.-The new French sew.
ing machine invented by the Misses Garcia and N
Adam is driven by series of six springs each of which
is doubled in order to prevent forced stoppage in
case Of accident The springs contained in barrels
disposed in pairs three horizontal Shafts placed in
the case which serves table to the machine The first
barrel works into the mechanism by which the springs
arewound up, and forms the stop-work of the whole
springs the spring which it encloses is fixed to it by
its external extremity while the inside end gives the
mpusion to the shaft on which the first barrel is
mounted. The impuision given by the first spring is
communicated to the whole six by series of teeth
wheels The machine thus wound up and set a going
takes about an hour to out making from four hun
dred to six hundred stitches per minute being the
usual rate of speed maintained by skillfu workman
The springs once run out be wound up again in the
short space OF one minute and hail. that the loss
OF time in this operation is scarcely perceptible The
hyweee, which regulates the speed of the machine, is
OF great strength and easily worked even BY unskiled
hands Altogether the machine is very interesting and
ingenious. We only hope that the curtament of labor
which it promises will prove to be reality.

she had toilette which alone was valued at 80 ooO

Wallets, and drivers without number.
She has sailed in yacht rendered her by the Bey of

that in 1868, she was very poor, aud asked him for
assistance, which she received and which she followed
up by repeated attempts to backmail and annoy him.

George H. Pendleton comes be-
fore the people Of Ohio, asking
them to elect him 10 The office OF
Governor Of the State. Let it be re-
membered that he was in Congress
IN 1884, and that he voted against
the following resolution, introduced
into the House of Representatives
by General Green Clay Smith Of
Kentucky:
"WHEREAs, A most desperate,
wicked and bloody rebellion exists
within the jurisdiction Of the Uni
ted States, and the safety and Sc
curity Of personal and national
liberty depend upon its utter and
absolute extinction; therefore,
ResOlUed, That it is the polite
al /, civil, moral. and sacred duty Of
the people to meet it, fight it and
crush it, and forever destroy it,"
Upon this resolution the vote
stands: Ayes liz, nays 16.-|
Among the sixteen traitors who
voted against it was George H.
Pendleton of Ohio. He did not
want the rebellion crushed. He
had all through the war labored to
secure the. success of the rebels,
and he was not willing at the last
moment, black as were the pros
poets of his southern friends, to
consent that extra elforts should
be made to conquer them. Had he
possessed a particle of sympathy
for the Union he would have
voted for that resolution.
But his name is on record against
it. Let every soldier Of TIE war
remember that vote. = Mansfield

Congress to cover the expenditures

were greatly reduced, and it was

- In making his late speech at
his palatiaI home at Clifton Mr.,
Pendleton was too much absorbed

fortably provided for himself and
not having suffered particularly
from the late unpleasantness per

white men of Pennsylvania. The ques-
ton is whether the ignorant and brutal
Voudoo worshippers of the South, igno-
rant of the ballot, and careless of its
privileges, driven to the polls in herds by
carpet-bsg masters, whom they have ex-
changed for their overseers, shall dictate
constitutions an1 forms of government
for Pennsylvanians. 1t is not so much
whether negroes shall vote in Pennsyl-
vania as it is whether the voice of her
citizens shall be overwhelmed and their
constitution abrogated by hurling the ig-
norant blacks of the reconstructed States
on the ballot box at the bidding of their
Radical owners. If republican govern
ment can stand this shock, in conjunc-
ton with the corruption of the Legisla-
ture, who shall say that our political in.
stitutions cannot defy every assault 2
One of the schemes by which enemies of
free government seek its destruction is to
degrade the ballot by putting it into the
hands of ignorant negroes, who are at the
mercy of the designing and corrupt.
When the people shall grow weary of the
evils thus engen dered, the Radical ene-
mics of the republic will be ready to pro-
claim the failure of popular government.
Those who seek to destroy the constitu-
tion of Pennsylvania by invoking the aid
of the negroes of the South are not the
friends of equal suffrage, but they are the
enemies of free government,-Patriot.

We have scarcely noticed this Impe.

cause it is not conducted with ability and
propriety, but because its function is
supererogatory, for as simple matter
of fact, more than half of the journals of
the country, the government, army, navy,

eight years past, however blindly, have
constantly labored to establish monarchy,

Piles of the ruling faction-there can be
nothing but anarchy, that same chronic
anarchy that we witness in Mexico and
South America, until the anarchical ele-

consists in the rule of classes-that is, in
artificial distinctions in our own race,
and Democracy is based on the natural

prevent the former. If, therefore, the
natural and eternally ordained rule of the
white man over the negro be abolished,
ignored, debauched, lost sight of, and the
American masses distorted and degraded
into common citizenship with negroes,
Of course we must drift back into mon
archism just to the extent that that be-
comes practicable with such material.
But, we repeat, monarehism, as it proved
in Mexico, is as impossible as Democracy
on Mongrel basis, and therefore the
