II the truth were acknowledged, tel
egraphs the Washington correspondent
of the Nesc York Tribune, Gen. Sher-
man goes to St Louis for the same
reason that led Gen. Scott to take him.
self and his headquarters off to New
York, namely, desire to avoid the an
noyance of continually recurring disa-
greements with the Secretary of War
about the management of the army.
The Secretary is the superior of the
General in authority, and it is only
human nature that the military officer,
with his intimate knowledgeof his pro-
fession, his life position, and with a
salary double that of the Secretary,
should not submit with good grace to
the orders of the civilian official who
goes back to private life after few
years service.

THE champion carpet-bagger has
been discovered in the person OF X. Z.
Register, who was Judge of Grant
parish. Louisiana, at the time OF the
fighting there, and for whom the
trouble was brought on. In testlfylng
in New Orleans the other day, he said:
Il was Judge of Grant parish; never
studied law; used to be detective, be-
fore that a tanner. 1 went to Colfax
from New Orleans, came here from
Shreveport. I left Shreveport IN
hurry. because / was afraid to stay
there; went to Shreveport from An
derson, Texas; went there from Ar
kansas. 1 lived before that IN South
Carolina, Philadelphia. Baltimore
Brooklyn, Westchester, Peru Chill
New Grenada. 1 was born IN Dela-
ware" The Judge" is not yet
lniddle-aged man.

WIN. B. SCOTT, colored editor of the
MaryriIJe Republican, is after the
KRozUiGe Chronicle with sharp stick
about the civil rights business, ac-
cusing Brownlow's organ of publishing
everything in opposition to the famous
and infamous bill, but nothing in favor
thereof. The irate Scott also denounces
sundry charges against him as utterly
false in every particular and deliberate
and contemplate inventions of despi-
cable and cowardly heart" This vio-
lent exercise of his civil or uncivil
right to free speech concludes as fol-
lows:
1 knew that the editors of the
Chronicle were vindictive, narrow
minded partisans, but L never knew
until now that they would wilfully and
unblushingly write deliberate false
hoods

CONCERNING the sentiment In West
Tennessee, the Jackson Courier Herald
says: ''The feeling in favor of conven-
lions or some other mode of selecting
candidates to defeat the Radicals, is
growing daily and hourly. The follow
ing short paragraph from the Bolirar
Bulletin is to the point: If you don't
like conventions, please name some 9TH
er plan by which We may unite on one
candidate, and thereby defeat the party
that has brought disgrace to the coun-
try by its corruption, enacted laws to
force social equality with negroes, and
bankrupted some Of the fairest States
of the South. We are for conventions
TIL you convince us that there is bet
ter mode. Can you do it?'"

THE NelU York Sun, one of the most
independent and out-spoken journals
IN the country, seems to be disguised
with the current abuse of the phrase
"broad and liberal principles" and
thinks the country has quite enough
religious and political professors ofthat
sort, adding: Their principles are so
very broad and so liberal that they are
about the same as no principles at all.

ROCHEFORT
Swimming for Liberty.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Herald pub
fishes a communication from Rochefort.
He SAYS:
We had heard it said that sharks in their
hunger assembled ordinarily in the neigh
bOrhOOd of the siaughter-houses, which are
situated not far from the peninsula, and
that, feeding plentifully upon the refuse
from butcheTy, it seldom happened that
they would attack man, Oliver Paine,
who was ignorant of the first principles of
swimming, went energetically to work, and
one month after my arrival became one of
the best swimmers Of the peninsula. We
then familIarized ourselves with dangers
by swimming in the sea for two or three
hours each day.
cannot give all the particulars without
compromising certain brave people who
lent us their assistance. The fact is that
three prisoners, simply residents of the
place, Achille Ballierce, JOurde and Bas-
tien Granthiele, negotiated with the English
Capt. Law, of the three-masted bark P.
c..
Law, fully understanding the Importance
Of the prisoners he was to take on board.
consented TO receive and conduct rs to
Australia, but the peninsula was guarded
much too strictly TO permit him to ap-
proach, and all he dared promise us was to
receive us if we had some means of board
ing his ship, which was at the end of the
roads Of New Caledonia. that is to say,
more than three homs from our fortified
place.
The journey to the English ship was a
dramatic episode in our escape, and we
should certainly have succumbed to fatigue
if our friends Of New Caledonia had not
saved US the longest part of the journey in
coming up to us on dark night in a whale
boat, which took US in naked and all tom
by the waves and rocks, which cut like q
raz0r
