The sherman Wedding.

With a splendor that rarely attends an
American wedding the daughter of the Cen
eral of the Army was yesterday united in
marriage to an Engineer in the service. The
pomp of the religious ceremonies clothed with
solemnity and beauty the simplicity of re-
publican union. 1t was attended by all the
dignitaries of the government and the Church,
but the only American titles were those won
by valor or service to the country. Yet
could more thoroughly move the heart of q
nation. General Sherman stands SO high in
the estimation Of his countrymen that the
marriage of his daughter necessarily COM
mands their sympathy and regard. The illus
trious deeds of the father are reflected on the
of q shield transformed to softer lustre Of
the thousands who were present at the cere-
monies yesterday there were few who forgot how
Sherman marched through Georgia, or how
in the hour of the nations danger he stood
faithfully between the Union and its foes
best American society-not that of fashion
merely, but that society which is based
upon learning, culture, intelligence and
eminence in military or civil ser
vice. Not long, but long enough to
be appreciated and loved, she has been a leader
of such q social circle as this in the capital
The gallant young officer who becomes
the son-in-law Of the General is said to be
worthy of such BRIDE and to their new home
in St Louis they will be followed by the warm
wishes of the American people for their hap
piness. We give to-day a full account
of the wedding ceremonies in the Church of
st. Aloysius at Washington. The President
was there Archbishop Purcell performed the
rite, and the Cabinet, the officers of the army
and navy, Judges Of the Courts, Senators and
Representatives, foreign Ministers, and men
and women celebrated in science, literature
and art made this event worthy Of the COM
memoration it finds.

Longfellow's Now Poem.

Professor Longfellow's contributions to
American poetry, which he has in great part
created, have been of late SO seldom that we
must welcome with more than usual warmth
the new poem which adorns the ediice he has
helped to found, but which no man of this
century nor the next can complete. "The
Hanging of the Crane" which we publish to-
day, is one Of the most beautiful lyrics that
even Longfellow has produced. The title
is merely the French expression for
house warming, and from that
suggestion he has created o lovely
and touching picture of domestic happiness
which deserves a place in his own luminous
gallery. 1t reminds US of the Building of
the Ship" in its idea and treatment, though
it wants the parallel which has made that
poem famous. Here is nothing but the
poetic tracing of household from the be-
ginning, when the wedding guests hung the
iron crane in the chimney and celebrated
merrily the feast, to the golden wedding,
when the ancient bridegroom and the bride
serenely smile upon their descendants. Two
charming portraits Of children are included
in this poem, and though that Of the first born,
''who ruleth by the right divine Of helpless
ness, is not strictly original it is none the less
perfect and beautiful. The tone of the poem
is deli ghtful; that grace in which the verse OF
Longfellow always moves, as if TO an inward
tune, is here unsurpassed. The stanzas which
introduce the visions, each with its separate
simile, are singularly contrasted with the
rhythm they interrupt, like stones in gently
running stream, and there are passages which
are destined to become classical in modern
The New York herald., 1874-10-02

will tend TO produce healthier polit-
ical condition in Pennsylvania herself.
Because of the outlying position she occu-
pied in campaign Pennsylvania has been
the battle ground OF parties, and her choice of
State officers has been influenced by interests
entirely disconnected with her own. New
York, Ohio and even States far from her bor-
ders have fought their battles on her soil
The administration has always taken heavy
part in the October fight, and her poll
ticians have made the most of the opportu-
nifty. Every October both parties have
appealed to the country for aid, with the plea
that 1--WE can't afford to lose Pennsylvania. !"
Thus wide field for corruption existed
Money was poured into H arrisburg and Phila-
delphia from other States, not to carry
Pennsylvania alone but that by making sure
of Pennsylvania New York might elect o
democratic Governor, or Ohio choose repub
lican electors for President Thus the State
was debauched and made to serve foreign pur-
poses. Its party organizations were like two
devil fish, each with its ravenous beak and all
digesting stomach, reaching out long arms to
grasp the prey, and holding in its deadly en-
brace, with suckers that never let go, the
national administration itself. 1t was
impossible under such system for Penn
sylvania to hold fair elections. Not
only was money used to corrupt the pub
lie, but men were employed to illegally
control the ballot Hundreds of repeaters
from New York and Baltimore annually ap-
peared at the polls of Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, hundreds more were scattered through
the mining countless and after the slave re-
ceived the power to vote little army of ne
groes crossed the boundary line of Maryland
every October and added materially to the
power of the party which controlled them.
These evils are to q great extent destroyed.
New York and Baltimore will need their own
repeaters, Maryland will need her negroes,
and every State from which Pennsylvania has
drawn subsidy will now keep its money for
itself We therefore part with the great his
torical October canvass in the Keystone
State without reluctance; it no longer con-
trolls timid public opinion nor tends to
depress and demoralize sincere political move
ments elsewhere. State politics are not OBJ
truded into national affairs, good citizens are
more free to vote as they think right, and not
as it seems expedient and, best of all, great
and influential league of the politicians is
broken. The people of Pennsylvania deserve
to be thanked for their wisdom in making
this important change, and both the great
parties are to be congratulated that this long
~ Il n l.
been lifted from the country. In another
year it is to be hoped that Ohio will follow
the example.

The Third Term.

The EUening Post, in commenting upon tho
present condition of the third-term move
ment, reminds it's readers of letter addressed
by President Grant, when General of the
Army. to J. N. Morris, of Illinois. This
letter was written in January, 1864, during
Mr.. Lincoln's term Of Office, and in il the
General said =
This ITO be President] is the last thing in tho
world desire. / would regard such consumma-
tion as being highly unfortunate Tor myself II not
1or the country. Through Providence 1 have at
tained to more than ever hoped, and with the
position now hold in the regular army, Il allowed
tainly shall never shape a sentiment, or the ex-
preston OF thought, with view OF being can
didate for ONCE.
The Euesing Post aptly says that the 'Ietter
shows great deal political sagacity whether
it is made to apply to the events of 1864 or to
those of 1874; but since the writer has been
prevailed upon twice to accept an Office which
he regarded as highly unfortunate to him
self, it is uncertain whether he would not con-
sent to continue his self-sacrifcing course for
another term Of four years. His assurance
that he will never shape a sentiment or the
expression of thought, with view of being
candidate for Office, bears more directly on
the decision Of the third-term question" We
entirely agree with the views expressed by tho
Evening Post and congratulate that journal
upon the growth of its opinions. This third
term discussion, for mere "HERALD sensa-
tion," generated in the silly summer season, as
was alleged, has shown vitality possessed by
no question in our politics since slavery was
settled Politicians may dread it and sneer,
caricaturists may ridicule it, but the people
will talk about it, and they have talked, until
now it dominates all other issues.
The reason is that the question had life in
it, was ON honest question, and would not die.
1t was not HERALD sensation, but HERALD
prophecy, and among the journals fastening
to confirm the wisdom of the prophecy is the
respected, sagacious and independent Euening
Post.

ginning, and there is no knowing what will be
done before we arc through. Mr. Strakosch
is a man of his word, and he OF all men, is
the most interested in the success of the
opera. But the season will rot only bring us
music and indoor pleasures. 1t is hardly time
to seek the root shelter and we have few
glorious weeks of sunshine inviting us into
the fields before they are encompassed with
forbidding frost and snow. First of oil wa
have an autumn Derby at Jerome Park. The
lau meeting will open tomorrow, and will
continue every Wednesday and Saturday until
the IUh. 1t is rather tax on the mind to
nave SO many races. Whatever interest these
meetings contain could be exhausted in @
week. The only argument in favor of re-
peated meetings is the gate money. If gate
money Is the object of the Jerome Park then
we should have races all the year round, the
effect OF which would be to reduce our
American Derby into the proportions of a
trottlng park-the one thing which it's
managers have striven earnestly to avoid If
October weather will only continue in as gen.
tie and relenting mood as was shown to
Miss Sherman on her day of destiny we
may look for brilliant meeting this season.
Times are not the best, we are sorry to say,
but times would have to be bad indeed when
we would not feel the deepest interest in the
races at Jerome Park and our people would
hesitate to spend day amid the beautiful
scenery, the splendor and the life of the null
titude, and the keen spirit Of emulation which
will be shown by the noble animals who
await the moment of struggle and triumph.
Altogether our season, indoors and OUT
doors, opens with unusual animation and in
terest, and if the crops continue as fine as
they promise, and business sustains the indi-
cations which already burden the columns of
the HERALD, we may sail bithely and pros
perously to merry Christmas and happy
New Year.
