results of the discovery of America by Co

He writes about it in the Hartford COm'a1H
in this vein: Perhaps it is not an open
question whether Columbus did good
thing in first coming over here-one that
we ought to celebrate with saiutes and
dinners. The Indians never thanked him,
for one party. The Africans had small
ground to be gratified for the market he
opened for them Here are two continents
that had no use for him. He led Spain
into dance of great expectations, which
ended in her gorgeous ruin. He intro
duced tobacco into Europe, and laid the
foundation for more tracts and nervous
diseases than the Romans had in a thou
sand years.
"He introduced the potato into Ireland,
indirectly, and That caused such a rapid
increase of population that the great FAM
inc was the result, and an enormous em1-
grafton to New York-hence Tweed and
Hall and the constituency of the Ring.
Columbus is really responsible for New
York. He is responsible for our whole
tremen dous experiment. of democracy, open
to all corners, and the best three in five to
to win. We cannot yet tell how it is COM

The address Of Gen. Sherman, SAYS

which he alluded to scme of the lead
ing questions Of tho day, has been
spoken Of as remarkable and signift-
cant. Referring to tho surrender of
Gen. Joe Johnston and the Confrdc-
rate army under his command, Gen.
Sherman said:
"I believe this Government will
keep on growing until it spreads itself
over the entire American continent;
but in order to gain this much-dcsircd
end, and to maintain ourselves as
free and Independent republic, we
have got to show more charity to.

marked hy somo gentleman who has

conceded by the soldiers of both ar
mics at the close of the late civil war
that if the questions and all matters
of the settlement Of the differences
between the North and South were
left to the armies, it would be settled
at once, and everything would Income

General Sherman wore not only
worthy of the soldier but the states-
