EgWhile the financial question is one
that both parties in the east are su3stan-
TALLY agreed upon, very different state
of things exists in the west There the
discussion of nearly every phase of the
National finances is earnest and constant
IN. Y. Times
The agreement at the east is only
among the politicians. The people are
by no means for the specie-resumption,
'hard-money, hard times policy. The
question only needs to be discussed at
the east, and the legal-tender doctrine
will be as popular there as in the west.

Embroidered black silks are unusually
elegant this season.
Ithas become quite the correct thing
for ladies to wear silk stockings.
Artificial orange flowers are now gene
rally used for trimming and ornamenting
bridal costumes.
The newest handkerchief are cut
round-cornered, and have the monogram
Or initial in the center.
The new bonnets have very long
sireamers at the bick, either of velvet or
ribbon heavy quality.
Navy-hluc cloth waterproof cloaks re
tain their popularity very well, and will
be fashionable for long tine to come.
For full dress OCCASION, the very low
corsage is worn, fili,hed with standing
lace or plated tulle.
Double breasted cloth- Jackets, cut in
the English style, with reverse and wide
collar, are to be worn this winter.
There is no indication that the fashion
of wearing sashes is on the decline; the
new French sashes are beautiful.
Corduroy will be used to o agreater ex-
tent than ever many Of the new promen
ade garments are made of this material.
Dresses are by no means cut as scant

H In looking through the insiie of
thelast Athens Messenger, we found in
one of the two columns not devoted to
advertisements, a statement that the Re-
publican majority in that county on the
State ticket was S32, that VAN Worries
majority was 126l, and that on one of the
county officers the majority was but SO
The Messenger states in both its reading
columns that this result was caused by
trading"
" With more fairness than we had here
tofore given it credit for, the Messenger
publishes this intelligence under the
heading in display types: "Thc Athens
Ring"
/ Soft seems that the Athens ring call it
Grading" Procuring a few marketable
votes for a favorite, is simply little bus:.
ness transaction. The laws against bri-
berry are pretty severe, bnt2 there is OF
course no law against .tradins;'' other
wise the Athens ring, instead Of being
represente'lin Congress, might be repre-
sented at a stone house in Columbus,
where the stealing is sopoor as to disgust
any ring member.
Itxould appear that candidate in
Athens County can't give even the wild
est approximation as to where he will
come out until the ring gets done 'trad
ing" with the voters.
BY the way, little further light on the
subject of this trading might be curl
Gus if not useful. What is the market
price of a.'trade?'' Is the business usu
ally done in retail way, or is there a dis
count to a candidate for Congress who
will take "tra.les" by the dozen? Is the
market an open one where all are taker
that offer at the regular price, or are seal
ed proposals received for furnishing the
required number by contract3 Wher
the Ring finds'itself little out of pocke
by the brisk business carried on in s.trad
ing" how does it generally get reimburs
ed? Do they tind that Grading" in the
long run affords reasonable proft2l
And finally, is it the opinion of the
Ring THAT ..trading" votes in Congress i.

Why General sherman Is Out OF
Favor.
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun
why is it that a demand for General
Sherman's resignation appears so sud-
denly in the paper at " Washington which
is known as the official organ of the
Administration ?"--Nev York Times
It all grows out Of Sherman's mis-
conduct toward the ruling family.
When Mr.. F. D. Grant graduated at
West Point, two or three years ago,
and was commissioned as a Second
Lieutenant in cavalcy regiment, his
affectionate mother determined that, in
Stead of serving with his company
among the ciucl and savage Indians, he
should enj,y life at Washington in
some official capacity that would keep
him about the court with as large pay
as possible. The best thing that could
be discovered in this line was place
on Sherman's staff. 1t would make the
young fellow q Colonel, with the full
pay and allowances Of that rank, ard II
would insure his presence at Washing
ton with very little to do.
When General Sherman was applied
to with this proposition he fatty dec!in
cd. Hs staff was full, he said; it
members had served with him through
the war, and he would not dismiss AM
of them to make a place for any new
| graduate of the Academy, no matte
whose son he ight happen to be. Ant
if vacancy should occur he shoult
certainly appoint to it some officer VIII
had deserved promotion by his services
in the war.
This refusal was the beginning o
General Shcrman's disgrace at th
White House, which became complet
when his daughters wed ling beat tha
of Miss Grant in pomp and splendor
and it has now eliminated in this de
mand for his resignation.
i Denied by Sherman, the application
was next made to Sheridan at Chicago
He had not the courage of his superio
officer, and did not dare to disotey tn
family command. He turned out Col
onel Forsyth, one of the bravest of tn
brave, with half dozen rebel bullets i
his body, and made Fred Grant a Lieu
tenant Colonel in his place, with tn
chance of loafing in Chicago or Wash
ing,on as he might prefer.
| And now il Sherman could be drive
to resign Sheridan would become Gen
eral of the Army, and Fred would be
Colonel instead of a Lieutenant-C Colone
and would get about S70O a year NOR
pay.
