SIlcril,Rn.

The Couuer-Journal's Washington
letter Of the 10Th ult. says
The Chronicle of this place contains
u leader especially eulogistic OF the
character and services of General Will
lam II. Sherman, which excited much
attention. The memorable Johnston
Sherman compact, OF April, 1865, Is
commended M an act of liberal and
enlightened craftsmanship, which was
drawn IN accordance with the deliber-
ate instruction of Mr.. Lincoln, but
stupidity and unpardonably disap-
proved and set aside by his successor In
office. The article goes on to state that
General Sherman has never since the
war been heard to utter one unkind or
illiberal sentiment toward those of his
fellow-citizen who had been overcome
in arms, and has never hesltated to ex-
press his ardent desire for II general
amnesty. The writer then proceeds to
praise General Sherman for his ability
and facility in public speaking, and
while il does not condemn Grant, 1t
compliments General Sherman for all
of those qualities in which Grant is
notably deficient. There has of late
been considerable talk among Sher-
mans friends of bringing him forward
as presidential candidate for 1876, and
it would seem from this elaborate arti-
Gle that 1t Is their programme to run
him MS the peoples candidate. on the
basis OF amnesty, reconciliation and
peace, rs opposed to the Grant idea of
military subjugation, and enduring
sectional hatred. The Chronicle is not
regarded here as working very well in
the administration traces, or as willing
to 20 the third term scheme.

ComlnotiOn Among Federal Office
Holders.

Considerable commotion has been
occasioned among those gentry who
feed on federal food and smiles as they
grow fat, by a visit to Texas of two
gentlemen from Granville, which is
in the district of Columbia, and is gen.
orally known rs Washington. The
names of these gentlemen are p. II.
Woodward and j. Il. Yaryan. The
former is special agent of the postoffice
aud the latter is of the
treasury department, and they visit
Texas asa duly authorized investiga-
ting committee. Rumors, letters and
reports had reached Washington that
the federal offices in Texas had been
auctioned of to the highest bidders by
United States Senator Flanagan, and
that, therefore, many men, without
character, ability or honesty, had been
taken up from the low grades of life
and given the fat places of the land.
We had the pleasure of an introduction
