SINNERS PLACE.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Dispatehes
and letters have been received here
from Massachusetts, indicating that
the Legislature will continue to vote
daily for Senator, but that there is no
likelihood of arriving at a choice. 1t
is stated that there is an expectation,
if not a tacit understanding, that no
choice will be made by the Legislature,
and that body viii adjourn, leaving
vacant the unexpired term of Senator
Sumner. As the vacancy occurred
while the Legislature was in session,
the Governor can have no chance to
appoint a successor, as would have
been his duty in the event of the death
of Mr.. Sumner during the vacation of
the Legislature. If the above expec-
tation should be realized, it is predict
ed that the livelest and hottestpersonal
political contest ever known in Massa-
chusetts Will ensue tins summer, as
there will be involved not only the
Governorship, but new Legislature
which viii have to elect a United
States Senator for the long term, SIX
wears from the 4th of next March.

LEE AM GRANT.

From the Atlanta COnstitutiOnalist, April 2.
We propose to point a moral in re-
lating an incident, for the knowledge
of which we are indebted to Gen. w.
s. Walker. In the Generals eloquent
address. at the meeting, last Monday,
of the Southern Historical Society, he
spoke as follows:
AT a theatrical entertainment not
long ago IN New York, IN which the
Rebellion sprominently figured, Gen.
Grants appearance before the audi
euoe. the inevitable cigar being the IN
dex to the hero's identity, was ap-
plauded with strength of lungs pow
erfully suggestive of Federal appFo-
citation. Exit Gen. g., and in the
sall, dignifed, grey-bearded gentleman,
in Confederate uniform, Gen. Robert
X. Ice. stands declared-to be received
with i,az1lt and execration: No. but
with a shout from pit to dome testify
mo to the more than strength of lungs
the strength of that conviction which
is not less Northern than Southern
that in Gen. Robt. E. Lee, rebellion or
no rebellion, the American people rec
ognize the perfect type OF manhood,
sans pe7r ct sans reprOche,"
Here is an instance of the truth OF
what we have. on a former occasion, re-
marked. that Gen. Lee needs no pains
taking effort, no importunate advoca-
cY TO assert and maia.t2in the honor of
his name, the nobility Of his character;
no rock need be quarried to proEiee
for him a memorial" Of his past.
The memory of Leo Is engraven on the
hearts of Americans, and, thank God,
is. we doubt not, moulding the lives of
many amongst us.

ST. LOUIS.
Kiekiug Against Party Nominees


ST. LOUIS, April 4.-Party nominations
for aldermen having been made in several
wards of the city distasteful to large
number of citizens, numerously attended
meeting, composed of all parties, was held
at the courthouse tonight to consider the
situation and determine what should be
done in the premises.
Speeches were made by Judge Brecken-
ridge, ThOs. c. Gait, Gerald B. Allen and
others, all taking ground that the import
ance of the occasion demanded that only
men of unquestionable characters for hon
esty and ability should be elected. The
condition of the city finances were alluded
to, present and prospective debt touched
upon, the extravaganza and incapacity of
the last Council exposed, and an appeal
was made to all good citizens to sink poll
tics, and vote only for men of tried integri-
ty, and those capable of administering the
affairs of the city in an honest and econom-
ical manner. The meeting was quite en-
thusiaStic.
Strong interest is felt in the election, and
a desire to bring about reform in the affairs
of the city. Resolutions were almost unan-
imously adopted by the Merchants Ex-
change to-day to close the exchange Tues
day next, the day of election, and devote
their efforts to elect proper men to fill the
city offices. The result will probably be
the election of several Independent cadi-
dates to the City Council and public school
board.

AN ANONYMOUS LETTER.


WASHINGTON, April about a
week ago Gen. Sherman, as President
of the Howard Court of Inquiry, re-
ceived an anonymous letter containing
certain statements which were intended
TO influence the Court in Howard's case.
The communication was handedto Gen.
Howard. who instituted search and in
vestigation. 1t was suspected that the
document was written by somebody In
the War Department, and two experts,
who compared the handwritings, certi-
fy that the handwriting of the anony-
NOUS letter is that of a confidential
clerk Of the War Department. The IN
timation from the department that the
letter was written by Rev. MIR. Wilson,
of Athens, Tennessee, is positively de-
MED by the latter. The Secretary of
War yesterdayrequested Gen. Sherman
to let him have the letter, but Sherman
declined. The search for the writer of
the communication is to be continued
with view to punish the author.

HOW sUMNER STANDS.

From the GallaIin Ieilnessetith.
We are satisfied that certain wire
pulIers in various parts of the State
are deliberately trying to bring about
a union of the johnson element and the
Radicals upon the basis of division
of the spoils of office, This programme
Is boldly avOwed in certain quarters of
East Tennessee, and we think we see
evidences Of the same thing in other
localities. We do not know how the
miserable attempt viii succeed else
uhere, but we feel safe in saying that
1t viii receive very cold comfort in this
country. Thepeople here that support
ed Mr.. johnson in his last race for
Congress will have nothing to do with
any such project. Nine-tenths of
them are for harmony and concert Of
action on the part of those opposed to
Ehe ruinous spirit and tendencies of
Radicslism, and for a united support
OF honest and able men who will fight
its measures and policies; and in thus
supporting such men, they will not
stop to inquire whether theyt were for
johnson two years ago or against him
We predict that the man who attempts
TO revive the Johnson Cheatham issue,
viii be signally rebuked by the people
in this county at the polls.

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
A Young Tennesseean's Terrible
Crime I'm Texas.
The Degenerate Son OF an IIiussrious
Sire.

Sire.
Recent advices from Texas give the de-
tails of terrible crime committed in that
State by young Tennesseean. Among the
Passengers on the stage, running between
Fort Worth and Jacksboro, few days ago,
were Charles Gentry, a son of the late
Hon. Meredith p. Gentry, and wealthy
MiSsonrian, named Shire. Gentry evinced
considerable anxiety to establish intimate
relations with Shire, but his advances were in
every. instance repulsed. By sudden change
OF tactics, Gentry attempted to bring about
an alteration, but failed also in this, as the
other party seemed determined to avoid
trouble. Finally, an insulting epithet and
a blow in the mouth brought the Missou-
rian to his feet, with the remark that if
Gentry was spelling for a fight he could
step out on the road. The driver was Or
dered to stop and the two dropped behind
the stage. A shot was heard and the team
dashed off at full speed. One of the pas
sengers looked back and saw Gentry, pistol
IN hand, bending over Shire, who
was stretched upon his back in
the road. When the team had run
about half mile, the passenger
drew bead on the driver and threatened
to shoot him through the head unless he
turned and went back 10 Shire's assistance.
When they reached Shire he was breathing
his last. An ugly hole in his temple told
how the deed of blood had been done.
His pocketbook, which was known 10 have
contained $500 in currency, and his
traveling-satchel were not to be found.
Gentry had fed, after having robbed the
person of his victim. Though pursuit was
made soon afterward, the young murderer
succeeded in escaping into Mexico.
Gentry was born and reared in this
county, ON Stones river, about nine miles
from Nashville. he went to Texas about
a year and half ago, and had been lead
ing wild, desperate life.
A statement, similar to that given above,
was made to the Dallas, Terds, CONNER
cidl, by the passenger who witnessed the
tragedy. He expresses the opinion that
Gentry knew Shire had a large sum Of
money about him, and that the double
crime was planned before the stage left
Fort Worth, and that the driver was an ac-
cOmplice.
