WASHINGTON. September 27.-rhe
Washington Chronicle, of this morning,
contains leader specially eulogistic Of
the character and services Of General
VIM. l.. Sherman, which excited much
attention. Tue memorable Johnston
Shorman compact Of April. 1865. is
commended as an act OF liberal and
enlightened stutcsmanship, which was
drawn in accoldance with the deliber-
ate instruction CT Nj. Lincoln, but
stupidity and unpsrdouubly disap.
proved and set aside by his successor
in Office. The article goes on to state
that Gen. Sherman has never since the
war been heard to utter one unkind or
illiberal sentiment toward those Of his
fellow-c -citizens who had been overcome
IN arms. and has never hesituted to ex-
press his ardent desire Tor a general
amnesty. The writer then proceeds to
praise Gen. Sherman for his ability
aud facility in public speaking, and
while it does not condemn Grant, it
compliments Gen. Sherman for all
those qualities in which Grant is not,.-
bly, deficient.
There hus been of late considerable
tnlk among Shertnun's friends Of BRING
ing him forward as u Presidential can
didate for 1876, and it would seem from
this elaborate article thnt it is their
programme to run him as the peoples
candidate on the basis Of amnesty, re-
conciliatiou and peace, as opposed 10
the Grant idea of military sutjngntion
and enduring sectional hatred. The
Chronicle is not regarded here AS work
ing very we'll III the Administration
traces. or III willing to go til. third
term scheme.
