General Sherman.

The late orations of General SIBERIAN
have given the public to understand very
clearly that he is no friend of GRANTS poll
CIV. On one occasion Commodore WANDER
BlLT told the ladies who admired his new
steamer that they would be fools If they die
not. The same might be said to General
SHERMAN that he would be indeed great
fool if he were not opposed to GRANTS mis-
cradle policy. He is an impulsiye man, but
he is not corrupt, nor is he an intriguer
His disgust Is certainly very great, as hi:
speech shows. His sentiments have long beer
known to be in cousonance with the opin'
ions expressed in his speech, reported In
the Memphis Apalanehe.
The New York Herald publishes the fol-
lowing letter from the General, written the
last year of the war:
To j. A. R., Baltimore:
Sr,-Yours of August 20 Is received.
Thank you for your kind expressions.
Iron is iron and steel is steel, and all the
popular clamor on eal th will not impart to
one the qualities of the other.
So q niger is not u white man, and all
the Psalm singing on earth won't make him
so. lt.ls strange to me that among peo-
pie, North and South, who have so much
common sense, that you can't say niger
till both parties make fools of themselves,
and it is hard to say which are the worst.
When we settle this little fight on hand the
great niger question will be found set
lied also. w. t. SHERMAN, NJ. G.
atlanta, Sept. 1872
We can easily imagine General SHER-
MANS disgust for the state of affairs and the
GRANT policy after reading this letter. His
prophecy that the "nigger question" would
be settled with the war is not fulfilled,
and prophet is terribly outdone by
disappointment such as that, and we may
therefore consider that General SHERMAN
"cusses" somewhat. 1t is certainly graf
flying that at last we have a citizen occupy
ing the prominent position that General
SHERMAN does expressing his views in con-
domination of the folly and usurpation of
the Administration.

-sDryoRcRs..-It is gratifying to observe that
lately the governors Of several northern
States have urged that the laws shall be
amended, SO as to prevent the obtaining of
divorces with such ease and promptness as
they are obtained under existing laws.
Governor JEWELL, of Connecticut, states
that for every dozen marriages in Connecti-
cut there Is one divorce. Society in the
north has suffered most disastrously from
the demoralizing effects OF the laws Of di-
yorce. Women are divorced from their hus-
bands, in some cases, beforethey are aware
Of the intention Of the husbands to separate
from them. The marriage tie Is loose, an
deed, where 1t may be thrown off SO readily;
and deplorable is the consequent loss of dig
nifty and solemnity of the marriage cere-
mony, which is vital to the virtue and order
Of society.

France

--s...5e- rance
rea,ous indeed has been tho siege Of
par;s nv the French Government forces
hast the Communists seem to DC OK
hausted and about to be overcome. rnes
nave held out wonderfully. Short OF pro.
visions. without means, divided amongs'
themselves, commanders changed every gay
every prominent man suspected anu seV'
era, executed, It has been wonder no"
they were enabled to resist at all 49,,
We suspect the chief obstacle was .u'
fear Of NJ. TuIERs and his colleagues " en,
ter Paris. They feared the troops nao
tha Versailles army entered Paris ana ira,
tern;zed with the Communists, all "oo'o
hayo hon lost. So 1t was probably deemed
,ss,,.r that the hatred Of the versailles
- ar tho obstinate forces IN PariS
shn,,,d he deeply and unalterably fixed by
frb,inc and bloodshed Oh the outside BE-
fore the close fighting in the streets o.
Paris should be hazarded.
That hate and revengefulness which pro
,onred strife and bloodshed inspires are
now probably strong enough to make thu
entry Of Paris safe proceeding. But from
accounts with regard to the condition
tho par,sian forces it is likely that they vii
either make no resistance, or such poo
one that it will be easily overcome. 1t
s,id that the French soldiers just returned
from the German prisons are greatly III
censed that after their long absence aspris
oners of war they are not permitted to ente
their own dear Paris. Under this feeling
they will make desperate fight to getinsld
the walls.
II would be grateful to the civilized worl'
to hear that Paris was occupied by the Yer
sailles Government without further blood
shed, and also to hear that the ill-fated cit
had undergone no further mutilation. l
is greatly injured. twill take much tim
and great expenditure to restore II iron
the ruins to its former beauty and order.

Public Halls and Amusements.

A contemporary remarks that ii mai
wants to be criticised let him build music
hall |! This is true. Everybody criticises
such hall, and everybody finds some fault
with it. The acoustic properties are al.
ways pronounced bad, il not by others, at
least by those who have had back seats.
In this city, however, a rather temporary
edifce has been recently built for skating,
and it has been found admirably adapted
to music! 1t will be quite agreeable to the
fault-dnding world to join in the general
praise of the Assembly Hall'' Us suited
to music, since it was not built for concerts
or musical performances y
Miss NILSSON pronounced it admirably
adapted to music, and declared that che
had never sung in hall with more satisfac-
ton. The art of combining acoustic prop.
critics in high degree with beauty and
grace of architecture is exceedingly diff.
cult. Some of the most splendid temples
have In this respect been sad failures,
Therefore it is fortunate that by accident,
