SHERMAN AND LINCOLN.

In his response to toast at the din
ner of the Army of the Cumberland in
Pittsburg, Penn, last week, General
Sherman said "There are thousand
episodes might relate tonight, but |
will confne myself to one or two and
one is little thing which happened in
the early part OF the war, when ] was a
member OF the Army of the Potomac,
for you know 1 fought and was whipped
at Bull Run. We had fallen back to
the Potomac, and my line was between
Georgetown and old Fort Corcoran.
One day was out inspecting a block
house on my line, when saw carriage
approaching drawn by two old hack
horses, and l guessed at once that Lin
coin was coming. So cut across and
stood by the roadside as he came up.
In answer to my salute, he said +: Col
onel Sherman 2 Il am that person,
I said. i am out seeing some of the
boys added the President, is this
your brigade p Ireplied that it was,
and he said he would be pleased to visit
them if I would show the way. I es-
corted him and Mr.. Seward, who sat
by his side, to the nearest camp, send
ing a soldier in advance to warn the
command of the approach of the Presi-
dent and cause the assembly to be beat
en-. Passing along up the hill General
Mcdowell will remember the road by
which we had to ascend we talked of
Bull Run and other matters of military
interest, and Mr.. Lincoln asked if he
might make speech to the boys. /
said I should consider it favor if he
would, and I insisted he would discour-
age the yelling which was becoming so
unpleasantly common among the SOL
diers. I had the first regiment drawn
up in line, and hating his carriage,
Lincoln rose and spoke. Gentlemen, |
have heard Clay in his palmiest days |
have heard Crittenden, with his keenest
satire I have heard the best orators,
and having marked them we'll but /
never heard man who spoke to the
hearts of men as Lincoln spoke to those
of the men who stood before him. l
remember almost every word he said.
He addressed them as children, and
said that those were sad days, but bet
ter were coming that the rain had
fallen, but the skies would soon be clear;
they should not be discouraged, but
think of the tomorrow which awaited
them, having faith in the nation and in
final success, which would come as sure
ly as there was o God in Heaven. That
speech reached all hearts, and was
worth its weight in diamonds. s."

PRESIDENT GRANT AND THE CIVIL SER
VICE REFoRM.-The Washington Chronicle
has an editorial which is supposed to be the
Presidents statement of the cause which
led TO Mr.. Curtis resignation. The article
says:
George William Curtis was placed al
the head of the Civil Service Advisory
Board, and he did much toward giving the
reform fair start.
Last winter, however, differences of
views were developed between him and
the President, which proved irreconcilabe.
"The President, if we are not misinform-
ed, suggested TO Mr.. Curtis that his own
experience in filling offices had suggested
such notifications of the rules as would
admit of transfers of officials from one class
of offices to another
This Mr.. Curtis did not fancy, insisting
on promotion in each class of offices.
"rhe President quietly waited until one
of these cases occurred, and then, exercis-
ing his reserved authority, he made the
transfers, tae propriety Of which all admit
who know ,he gentlemen transferred.
"Mr. Curtis, however, felt that, like the
British Cabinet Ministers, it was his duty
to resign when he could no longer consist
emily carry out the views of his principal"
However the truth may lie in this mat
tel, and whichever may be right, allowing
the above statement to be a correct version
Of the facts, one thing is certain; the peo-
pie have so set their hearts on reform
in the Civil Service, that, either with or
without the Presidents and Mr.. Curtis
help, they will have il. We believe that
upon no single subject is their mind so ir-
revocably fixed. This is no time TO take
backward steps in giving us purer and bet
ter men as office holders.-Mercantile

THE LAVA BEDs.-Professor Hayden,
of the Territories, does not think II an
easy matter to catch the Modocs in the lava
beds. He says the latter are al outflow of
volcanic matter, forming perfect sea of
melted rock, which gradually cooled, and
in cooling became broken. Innumerable
little streams have worked their way
through, and the whole place is filled with
caverns. Oitentimes they connect with each
other and extend for miles underground.
They vary in width from fifty to 500 or 600
feet. The entrances to them are generally
very small, so they can easily be defended.
These caverns are crevices, which are well
supplied with water, are filled with
rabbits, lizards, snakes, mice, and all kinds
of bugs and insects. 1t is impossible to
reach the Indians. These beds are, as it
were, great shell, and troops cannot reach
them. Why, five Indians located there
could whip the whole United States Army
if they had plenty of ammunition. The
only way is to starve them out but that
will take some time, as these Indians eat
roots, snakes, mice, seeds, lizards, &C., and
they get good supply in those beds. But
they must come out some time. These
Modocs are the same as the Digger Indians
and live upon all kinds of reptiles. They
manage to sew skins together by means of
little sinews aud thus make their clothing.
TIE extent of the lava beds occupied now
by the Modocs are from fifty to 100 square
miles probably. Indeed, the whole country
there is about the same. These Modocs
can sneak out and get away. There is
possibility that as they have thoroughly
explored every part and are familiar with
every passage it will be difficult thing to
surround them, and there is great danger
of their Guiding our troops on account of
their familiarity with the beds and the com
parative ignorance of our forces as 10 the
exits and interior formation. The Indians
know every foot of that country.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN EARTHQUAKE.
Details of the destruction of San Salvador
on the 10Th March by an earthquake have
been received by the last arrival from Pan
anna, and they show that the first account
of the disaster was not an exaggeration.
The unfortunate city has been wholly
ruined, as not more than three buildings,
and those of wood, remained standing.
With this wholesale destruction of property
there was fortunately, but comparatively
little loss OF life, as the widest rumors
placed the killed at not more than fifty.
Some steps were Immediately taken for
the rebuilding of the city. but there will
probably be some diffic ulty in persuading
the Inhabitants to remain. Many were set
Ting at Santa Tecla, three leagues distant,
aud many others show a natural repug-
nance to living on spot subject to such
strong commissions. The city has been en-
tirely destroyed eight times within $50
years, but has been partially ruined every
ninth year, and 1t Is no wonder that the
inhabitants are beginning to tire of the Site
The undismayed President Gonzalez has,
no xever, issued his decree for the restor-
alton OF the city from the midst of the
ruins, and doubtless all the authority of
the Government will be exercised to accom-
plish that result.

POLITICAL NOTES.

bill is before the New York Legisla-
organic law.
There is great indignation in Illinois o err
The decision of the State Supreme Court
adverse to legislative regulation of fares
and freighls on railroads. One OF the Judges
has resigned in consequence.
The bill pending before the Michigan
Legislature forbidding accommodation
ofany member of church for reasons of a
secular or political nature, has been defeat
ed in the House. Ii was considered as vir-
lualy blow at religious liberty.
The local option bill-appying the prin-
ciple of local self-government to the liquor
question-has at last squeezed through the
New York Assembly. A hard push was
made to exempt lager beer, but the major
ity were memorable.
bill has been introduced into the Leg
islature of Illinois, making it an oiIense
with fine of 5000, for any official of the
state, TO accept free railroad pass, and the
railroad Offering the same is subject TO a
likepenalty.
Washington special says that the Ad-
ministration has decided to suspend all
proceedings against the Southern Ku-Klux
for the present. More than a thousand of
these cases are pending, and whether they
will be revived or not depends upon the
future observance of the laws.
The best evidence that the civil service
system Is not to be abandoned is found in
the fact that two members of the advisory
board for the Treasury Department have
started for the southern cities to examine
the condition of the Custom Houses, in
Guiding all branches of the service in the
custom districts, and make the necessary
preparations TO carry the provisions of the
civil service rules into effect.
Minister Bancroft, our minister to Ber-
lin, whose resignation was announced a

THE PRICE, or GOLD.

The Boston Journal of the 18th inst, in
an editorial article of considerable length
cites facts and figures in support orthe be-
lief that the present prices of gold cannot
long continue. II says:
The idea prevails in the mercantile COM
munity that the imports of the United
States exceed our exports, and that we pay
large balances to Europe and are becoming
deeply indebted to foreign nations. 1t is
urged that our currency is excessive, and
that the natural tendency of gold is to high
er prices.
Harping these strings the brokers of New
York have forced up gold 10 1l9, the high
est price for two years past. They are still
pressing for a further rise. The sales at
the Gold Board are immense, and a serious
question arises; Is the price of gold real
or artificial is 1t due to the condition of
our commerce or currency; are our i'm
ports increasing and our exports diminish
ing, or is the high price OF specie TO be as
cribed to the locking up Of greenbacks, the
manipulations of the Gold Board aud the
purchase of exchange on credit?
Let US glance at the grounds on which
the price of gold is upheld. And first at
the state of our exports and imports, as to
which the public for The last half year have
been entirely misled.' For abe fiscal year
ending with June last our imports I'M
doubleday were large and our exports light.
Cotton especially was deficient. In place
Of the customary increase In The ex-
port Of cotton from year TO year, there was
