Tscumsch Sherman has circulated more
freely than has been his wont at former
visits. He has net only enjoyed the COM
pany of many Of his personal acqas intances,
bot he has dropped into public places in q
way which has attracted considerable atten
ton in some quarters. He Was to be seen
at clubs, at hotels, in newspaper Offices, io
Wall street, in the Produce Exchange, and
else where. lie talked freely on oil occasions
about men and things, parties and elections.
During his vieit to the Produce Exchange
on Saturday an incident occurred which
had quite as much IN Gaming as others of the
kitd. On entering that institution in the
company # a member he Was received by
the conEregated multitude with great enthu
siasm; business was suspended in his honor,
and before his departure frcm the building
he heard the sound Of three vocif.rous
cheers, given under the leadership of well
known member, for Gen Sherman a. the
next President of the United States"

left him famous Le had in reality no chance

knows him doubt. the genuiness of the in
dignation he displayed whenever it was
talked about. Gram was the necessary
candidate of the Republican party in 1868,
and he was again in 1872. Sherman was
then on the best terms with the commau-
der under whom he had served, and his am
bition was sati.fied In lis position as Gen.
of the Army. Unless some unlocked for

There is one curious ground oe crm

Members of The White IIuushold have
teen bothered with this for years They
have been constantly getting appeals to
sub,cribe to some Roman Catholic church,
to prtronize some Rpmish fair, 10 buy ii k

more than Their share OF support to Romish
missionaries among the Indians, to coun-
tenance Rpmish ceremonies, to give some
encouragement TO the Pope, to appoint
RouaDist to all sorts Of Offices. All kinds
of means have been taken TO get patron

the White House is stanchly Methodist, the
persistent attempts, ever taking new shapes
have been stopped in a way not calculated
to produce Increased fcctions betwe cen the
parties concerned. | presume there is no
conpla nts against Gen. Sherman himself
on this ground. nm not even sure that he
is all adherent Of the Roman Catholic
church.
