THE TREATMENT OF TIE SOUTH.
General Sherman on General Grant

A reporter Of the New York Herald reports
some remarks made by General Sherman as
part OF an "interview" with that officer just
prior to his departure for Europe on the fri

however, that when the war was ended war

have ceased. The negroes are we'll disposed,

they are apt to make mistakes and behave

4R4DICIL CRY FOR REFORM.
The Republican Party Must not Become
Cooperative Thieving Association.
from the Springfield Republican ]

Tammany hasn't by any means had mo-
nopoly OF fraud. Supposng we Republicans
turn our disgusted gaze from that decompos.
Ing corpse long enough TO take fair look az
sundry State Governments at the South, Wnlch
call themselves Republican. Yet men VINO
are honest enough In the transaction OF their
own private business, shake their heads re,
provingiy whenever a Republican journal
alludes to the notorious facts for any other
purpose than to deny, or befog, or oellttle
them; they fear that "the party" will sustain
damage. Just here the moral comes In. The
Republican party cannot afford as mere
question Of good policy to identity IL,
self with corruptionists; 1t cannot AFFORD
to defend fraud, or 10 cover 1t up, or
make excuses for 1t. or tolerate 1t In any way;
shape or manner. The condition. not only OF
its useful -ess, but Of Its continued ascendancY,
is that it snail be, what 1t calls itself, the party
OF honesty-the party OF good morals. The
day that 1t becomes, even In appearance,
cooperative thievlng association, It Will oe
time for Its sagacious members 10 chalk up
''Ichabod" over the front door, and seek
new political tenement. Mr.. Greeley, we see,
Is optimist enough to believe that this day
hasn't got around yet, aud isn't likely to Tor
some time to come. We hope from the bot
tom OF our hearts that he Ia right-that his
prophecy will come true. Above all things else,
we need In this country just such national
house cleaning as he describes. IL cannot
come too soon 1t has got to come sooner or
later. If the Republican party dlsdains 10
handle the broom and mop, 1t will infallloly
have to abdicate its position as housekeeper.
In the possibility that 1t may Indulge In illu-
sions upon this point lies, to-day, its greatest
danger.

WOMIN SUFFRAGE IN THE WEST.
What Governor Campbell of Wyoming
Thinks of it.

The telegraph has mentioned that Governor
J. A. Campbell, of Wyoming, in his message 10
the Legislature, on the 7th instant, had en-
dorsed the favorable working Of woman suf
frage in that Territory. The Governors lam
guage is as follows:
Women have voted in the Territory, served
on juries and held Office. 1t is simple justice
to say that the women, entering for the first
time in the history of the country upon these
new and uutried duties, have conducted them
selves in every respect with as much tact,
sound judgment and good sense as men.
While it would be claiming more than the
facts Justify to say that this experiment, in a
limited field. has demonstrated beyond doubt
the perfect fitness OF woman at all times and
under all circumstances for taking a part in
the government, it furnishes at least reason
able presumplive evidence in her favor, and
she has right to claim, that so long as none
but good results are made manifest, the law
should remain unrepealed.
The telegraph reports that bill has been
introduced into the Legislature ito take away
from women the coveted privilege.

SUMNER rs IN INTERVIEWER.
How Butler was Beaten at his Own
Game.

The Atlanti, Monthly for December gives an
account of the Interview between B. F. Butler
and Senators Sumner and Wilson, of Massa-
chusetts, during the recent canvass by the
first for the Republican nomination to the
goyernorship of that State, and after the ap.
pearance Of newspaper paragraph, which
asserted By authority that the senators op-
posed Buffers candidacy. The Atlantlc's &C
count says:
Immediately after the Generals arrival In
Boston he proceeded to Mr.. Summers rooms
in the Coolidge House, and found the senstor
busy ever his morning work, and comfortably
chatting with his colleague. Taking the morn.
ing paper from his pocket, the General read
the paragraph above quoted. "This purPorts
to be by authority" said he; sis this true?"
Yes, General" Turning to Senator Wilson,
"Did you concur, sir?' II did,
F.. After an opening skirmish, the General be-
gan to insist that his speeches were not cor
rectly reported; but the senator reminded him
that the Springfield and Worcester speeches
were evidently written out or revised by him
self, and those speeches were enough Bal
fled at this point, General Butler brought up
his reserves. "This all comes" he retorted.
'of your hostility to Grant. IAN am for nS

.'Waiving the question:" said Mr.. Sumner,
sswhether this was an administration mea-
sure, be good enough to name another"
To this there was no answer. You are

The General remained tranquil. "You are
still silent, General Butler ! You men

and yet you allege that have been again st

again for an answer. Now, General" later

Sumner had used in dlsparagement OF the
President, adding. II have an affidavit OF II"
The senator said that this matter Of obtaining
affidavits seemed little too much according
to the practice of the criminal courts. "Bnt,

4 RECEPTION At THE VATICAN.
The Pope on the American caIamities.

A correspondent writes from Rome to the
New York Evening Post under date Of the
goth ult:
The Pope to-day held reception at the
Vatican, at which score or more OF EnglfSh,
American and Italians were present THESE
visitors were escorted to the usual waiting
room, rather dreary yet stately apartment,
marked with the Papal arms, adorned with
faded frescoes, and with throne at one end.
The ladies, dressed in black and wearing black
lace veile, and the gentlemen, arrayed In ordi-
nary evening costume but all without gloves,
were ranged on seats along the wall, and
during the hour of waiting could beguile the
time by specializing upon the Identity of the
various cardinals, priests and other ecclesi-
astical officials, who from time to time fitted
by on their way to private audiences with
the Pope. -,
The coming of the Po1ttR was announced by
the appearace at the door of two Swiss guards
in the Papal uniform of red and yellow, but
otherwise there was no poMp Of preparation,
Following half dozen Of military men and
dozen or so of eccleslastc officials came Plus
TX, dressed In O long white gown, bound
around the waist by sllken sash trimmed
with gold. On his head he wore a white
skull.cap. he was introduced to his visitors
by an official, and spoke few words to each.
To the group of Americans the Pope showed
especial attention. Placing his hand on the
head Of the little girl who was one Of the
party, he expressed his pleasure at seeing
strangers from such distance. "There have
been many Americans here this season al
ready" said he, In excellent French. "Your
country is now experiencing great suffering
through vast confagrations. | don't refer
merely to the destruction of Chicago, but to
the great fires In the woods beyond 1t. This
all very sad; but remember, we are all In
the hands of Cod"
Crossing to the other side of the room Plus
TX proceeded to speak to three lacies who had
placed themselves there apart from the others
They all fell on their knees, and one of them,
grasplng the Pope's hand covered 1t with
Kisses, while she anXlousy poured forth some
hurried words as If asking favor which to
her was OF the greatest Importance. 1t Is etl.
quette not to reply TO the remarks of
the Pope at these receptions unless he
should make some direct question; but
this lady dlsregarded all rules In the
anxiety of her appeal, and Plus TX was obliged
to cut her short by turning to the assembled
company, to whom he gave In italian the usual
benediction Almost all knelt at this moment,
the cardinals and priests setting the example.
Then, with courteous inclination OF the head,
the Pope left the room, followed by the clergy.
Plus TX Is very handsome old man, with
manner at once shrewd and bland. He ap.
pears to be In excellent health for person OF
his advanced years, and though he had q
shuHaing gait, inseparable perhaps from his
rather inconvenient costume, there was moth
ing in his actions to denote physical weakness,
or anything approaching decrepitude.

THE NEW STATE BONDS.
Particulars of the Alleged Over-issu'
From the Columbia PhenlxI

lcEOm Iuc SOluuUld
The rumor mentioned in telegram to TIE
fraudulent issue Of conversion bonds is con-
frmed by subsequent Investigations. The act
of March %, 1859, entitled San act to provide
for the conversion OF State securities" was
passed ostensibly to allow holders OF stock OF
the State to convert 1t Into coupon bonds Tne
second section provides that any person hold
ing coupon bonds may, In like mannar, con-
vert bonds into stock. The first section WIS
to meet the wants Of those who wished sccu-
rity easily transferred from hand to hand;
while the second section was, on the other
hand, meant to meet the wants of such as
wished a security, which, by being registered,
was made secure from loss by THEFT or acci-
dent. The act did not Increase the public
debt.
Under this act, the punderers at first had
printed So, 500, 900 In bonds. OF course, SUCH
of them as were used for the conversion of
stock are valid debt. These can easily De
distinguished by their numbers. IN addition
to the stock outstanding at the time of the
, passage of the act, some additional stock was
by the conversion OF bonds OF small
denominations Into stock, which was then at
once converted nom stock into bonds again,
as ftties, one hundreds, &C., being always at
discount, sscompared with larger bonds.
OF course, gthe Legislature intended that
bonds thus acquired by the treasurer should
at once be cancelled. up 10 OctO0er 81, loiu,
$4O0, 900 of such bonds are reported These, 1t
Is believed, were at once placed again upon
the market. Not satisfied with these small
pickings, It was resolved by the conspirttors
TO issue $500, 900 more bonds. 1t We s-S-
geeted by one of them that, to cOntinle tn
numbering up to 30 high figure as wou,' =.
-clfde 81, 900 600, would attract attention, and
hurt them in the market. The numbers on
the second batch were, therefore, duplicates
of the frat the only difference being that blue
ink was used instead of red. These bonds
were used as collateral security, and were
subsequently sold out by the holders. BY re-
ferring to Section Z Of Article of the Constl-
tuition, it,wil be seen that this attempted
increase OF the debt is unconstitutional and
void. That section reads as follows:
''SECTIoN Z. For the purpose OF defraying eX-
traordinary expenditures, the State may con-
tract public debts; but such debts shall be au-
thorized by law for some single object, to be
distinctly specified therein; and no such law
shall take effect until 1t shall have been passed
by the vote of two-thirds of the members
of each branch OF the General Assembly, to be
recorded by yeas and nays on the Journals OF
each house respectively-and every such law
shall levy tax annually, sufficient to pay the
interestof such debt"
The act Of March %, 1869, does not fulal
these provisions of the constitution. The
boEds issued unGer 1t, over and above the
amount legiticaiely used In the conversion OF
securities, are, therefore, so much waste
paper. These are the bonds now selling at
twenty-nine.

4 HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Effects Of Eating Diseased Meat.
From the Columbia Unlon.l

From the Columbia Union.l
There seems to have been case of trichina
on Monday, to Judge from the following yer.
dict of the inquest held By Coroner Colem an,
yesterday, over the body OF an unknown man
at the guardhouse in this city. Dr.. Gibbes
made the post-mortem examination, and the
Jury returned verdict that the deceased came
to his death from "a quantity of cellular
bodies all through his muscles, and in the
muscular tissue of the heart, and on Its sur.
face. These cellular bodies are cysts, contain.
Ing species of worm, which was caused By
the deceased eating diseased meat"
In the above case, the post-mortem examl-
nation revealed the fact that the man was
literally filled with trlchin9, the most of them
as large as pea. They were In his heart, In
his brain, and In fact, everywhere. The agony
of the man was such, that In one OF his fits he
burst open his heart. He Is said to have be-
longed In Union, and In coming from that
place was taken with dt on The cars, and
from thence was carried to the guardhouse for
treatment.
