Consistency.


From the Sparta Times.I
Thearrest of Lieut.. Hodgson
and Deputy Marshal Selye at
Monroe by the Sheriff and posse
from Lincoln, has converted
the Monroe Intelligencer. IN a
knowledge of the. fact that
women and children are
subject to be frightened BY the
disply of squads Of armed men
in a community. It was ter
rible that the innocent women
and children" of Monroe should
be frightened by a sheriff and
his posse to arrest the outlaws,
Hodgson and Seyle, and drag
one of them from the garrett
of the residence or the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court
OF the State while the brutal
terrorism of the q. S. soldiery
in the hands of these miserable
miscreants perpetrated in Clai-
borne and Lincoln at the ex-
pense of frightening the women
and children Of the whole
country and carried so far as
to point a loaded pistol at the
breast of a woman. is eminen:s
" proper and legitimate in the
estimation Of the Intelligencer
Oh consistency thou artindeed
a jewel. y

The triumph achieved by
the Democracy recently is the
greatest political victory ever
gained by any party in a sin
gle day in the history of Amer
lean politics. Congress was
completely revolntionized a
Republican majority Of 90 in
the House, being swept away
and the Democracy stepping
in with a majority of seventy
one! The Democrats elected
nine Governors, the Repnbli-
cans twogiving the Democra-
cy the control Of twenty States
Oh LAe tnlrly-seven- IAe, two
thirds majority cfthe Repnbli-
cans in the Senate was de-
stroyed, and thus another and
the last prep Of their power
was swepta away. Having lost
control of the national purse
strings, and being powerless to
use the peoples money to
thwart the peoples will, the
Repub lican party must go to
the wall in the next Presiden-
tial election, and soon thereaf-
ter sink into that oblivion
which should wrap its mantle
Of charity about every politi-
cal party that seeks to perpet-
ute its power by corruption
alone.

The Story OF Sherman's Insanity.

OF course the citizens OF Louisville
recollect that, when Sherman was In
command of that department, he was ac-
cused of insanity. lie could not receive
any answer from General Mcclellan to
his dispatches. Mrs. Sherman camo to
Washington and called upon the Presi-
dent. She stated that for more than
twelve years she had been General Sher-
mans wife, and, if any ono was capable
IF Judging as to the seundness OF his
mind, it would be herself. She declared
that there had never been the slightest
indication of insanity, though they might
drive him to il; that, if he were insane,
she would be the first TO desire to with
draw him from the public gaze, but, so
far from desiring that, she asked that he
might be intrusted with anything that
was difficult, or that was becoming his
rank. Mr.. Lincoln's reply was "that
General Sherman's dispatches were not
those of a sane mans" Mrs. Sherman
was astounded. After leaving tho Presl-
dent, she went 10 the War DepartEcnt
and requested q copy OF her husbands
dispatches After obtaining these, she

NJ. Lincoln read those papers he said
that. they were not at all what they had
been represented TO him. This was the
kind of work that was being done in the
War Department, where we needed
every good officer, and by the light of
10 day we can sec how few there were
as valuable as Sherman; and yet the
country would have lost his services if
his wife bad not been the brave, deter
mined woman she is. Mr.. Chase took
bold stand at that time in saving Sbcr-I
man, and | heard General Sherman, at
Lis daughters wedding, say the most
graceful and felicitous things TO Mrs. /
Spraguc personally, and in allusion- to
her father, khowing that kind recolec-
tons of him would be the sweetest theme
for his daughters ears.

A Yale College Duel Fifty Years Age.

In the New York Observer of October
LIST, there is request for information
with regard to duel between two boys
from Yale College, in which one of them
was killed. The writer of this entered
Yale College in 1912, SO years ago. In
the class next above him were two
Dung men, or rather boys, from South
Carolina, who had quarrel. Their
names were Cogdell and WIgfulI. They
belonged to the first families there, and
were very sensitive with regard to the
good name and rank Of their ancestors.
WIgfall gave mortal offense to Cogdell
by INVITING him on the fact, or report
ing it, that his grandfather was a shoe
maker. / once heard the ia5e President
FELTON, Of Harvard University, when
speaking at Yale, describe the solemn
and impressive way in which the stu
dent boys at Cambridge were formerly
punished. The faculty and students were
assembled in the college chapel, when,
after prayer and the singing of hymn,
the President, with due reproof, applied
a kind Of consecrated wooded paddle to
their persons. When | was young the
Principal o. the first classical school in
New England pursued a similar course,
which was called "shingling the boys"
from the article of which his paddle was
made. Had the boys of whom 4 write
been thus suitably punished at Yale, they
might have lived TO have sense enough
10 repent Of their folly. As it was, how
ever, they went home to South Carolina
and fought with rifles at twenty PAGES,
and..Wigiail was killed. well remem.
Der him as ayouth of full habit, with
smooth, fair, rudy checks. He was
trained for this duel by Col. Cummings,
who bad fought with and crippled for
life, McDuffle, distinguished member
OF Congress from South Carolina.

Richard, before he bad fulfilled the de-
