Why General Sherman is Ont of


"Why is it that demand for General
Sherman's resignation appears so sudden
y in the paper at Washington which Is
known as the official organ Of the Admin
istration ?'-New York Times
1t all grows out OF Sherman's miscon-
duct toward the ruling family.
When Mr.. F. D. Grant graduated at
West Point, two or three years ago, and
was commissioned as Second Lieutenant
in "a cavalry regiment, his attectionate
mother determined that. insteadof serving
with his company among the cruel and
savage Indians, he should enjoy llte at
Washington in some official capacity that
would keep him about the court with q as
large nav as possbls. -The best thing
that could be discovered in this line was
place on SlDman's staff. Itwould make
the young fellow Colonel. with the full
I'D and allowances o: that rank, and It
would insure his presence at Washington

had served with him through the war,
and he would not dismiss any Of them. to
make place for any new graduate OF the
Academy, no matter whose son he might
happen to be. And if a vacancy should
occur he should certainly ,appoint to it
some officer who had deserved promotion

THIS refusal was the beginning OF Cen

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
AGAINST RAILROADS.

On the 10Th inst. the Attorney General
appeared before the Supreme Court at
Madison as petitioner and asked "leave to
bring an action in the nature of quo
warranto in the name Of the State against
the Chicogo, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway Company, for the purpose Of
vacating the charter and annulling the
existence of SAID corporation
The following Is the
ORDER CT THE CoURT.
State Of Wisconsin: Supreme Court
The State of Wisconsin 0s. The Chicago,
Milwaukee, and st. Paul Railway Com
papy. On rfading and filing the petition
of A. Scott Sloan, Attorney General of
State Of Wisconsin, 1t is ordered that
leave be granted to the Attorney General,
to bring an action liz the nature of quo
warrantn in the Supreme Court, in the
name of the State of Wisconsin, against
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway Company, corporation other
than municipal, created and existing IN
der, and by virtue ofthe laws of Wiscon-
sin. for the purpose Of vacating and an
nulIing the existence of the said corpora
ton as prayed for in said petition.
| The Attorney General proceeded in like
manner and the Court granted ike
order to the above against the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway Company.
| Action to enforce the laws and their
penalties against corporate violaters has
been commenced by the Stale and the
validity of the railroad legislation of last
winter will be tested in the Supreme
Court. The Court meets the goth of Juue.
The defendants will have twenty days to
answer and longer if they can show it is
necessary. If an issue Of fact is joined it
will be sent to some Circuit Court for
trial. So unless all parties are in favor
of speedy action it wi be solhe months
before final decision is reached.
Thus far only one or the three or
four methods of proceeding against the
railroad companies has been adopted.
Whether other proceeding will be insti-
tuted we are not informed. Actions to
vacate the charters and to annul the ex-
'stence of the corporation, if not kept of
by the laws delay, it would seem, might
be sufficient to bring the controversy to q
close. But If the decision is against tie
Railway Companies in the State Supreme
Court they will undoubtedly try to car
ry the CAGES to the United States Supreme
Court, and may even try TO remove the
cases from the State to the United States
Supreme Court. Such case is now pend
| ing in Illinois. So at the nearest the end
OF the controversy is net yet.

KENosHA COUNTY CIRCUIT Court,
JUDGE darkness presiding, IS still
in session. 1t is however making
good progress. The Milwaukee case,
referred to two weeks ago, has come
to a close. Before writing that arti-
Gle we had been told by very re-
spectacle Elk that the case might
last till in July. But however re-
spectacle and good at estimating prob
abilities he was not truly prophetic
in that case. The Milwaukee trial
came to an end last Saturday, having
occupied three weeks and day. And
fortunately the jury agreed in finding
verdict. Whether the verdict &C
corded with law and testimony or
not is not now the question. The
Jury agreed. And all are entitled to
the thanks of the public The court
for so presiding as TO bring the case
understand ingly before the jury !;
the attorneys for not so bec)oudlng
and confusing the jury as to cause
a disagreement f; the witnesses for 50
testlfying as not to cause difference
Of opinion with the jury as to the
credibility of the witnesses and the
bearing Of their testimony and the
jury for agreeing on a verdict. One
great evil Of litigatic n is the disagree
ment at jurles. fortunately that
evil has not been encountered in the
Milwaukee trial in Kenosha County
Circuit Court. And for this the
people should he thankful and take
courage. The administration of jus-
tiec is not farce. And the attempt
to administer justice in the Courts of
Law is making progress toward the
administration otjustice. ! he world
moves and the effort to administer,
justice makes progress and moves
with it.

hill to save his own life and thus became
an agonized and helpless witness of q
calamity which he iad done all IN his
humble power to avert. The rush of the
waters and the fear and CONSERVATION
which ensued among the terrified citizens
were most heartrending to witness. The
flood came without the slightest warning,
save a heavy rumbling not unlike thun

over covered railroad bridge. Almost

THE BLACKBOARD EDITOR
.DAGURREOTYPED.

At a meeting Of the Indiana State
Editorial Association, at Indianapolis
short time ago, Septimus Water, of
the Lafayette Journal, in a paper
upon the spheres and scope of journ.
alism. paid his respects to the black
guard editor as follows.
"He tolerates no respectable discus
sion. You must either give assent
TO his assumptions, or be befouled all
over with verbal filth. If you ques-
lion the soundness of his positions, he
will at once assail you with personal
detraction and ridicule. He will in
wade the sanctity Of home and parade
privatematters before the public gaze.
He will dig up or manufacture the
vilestl scandals. lie apparently
thinks the soundness of any position
he may take will be sufficiently
demonstrated if he can but prove you
to be a knaye or tool. lie is in
capable of q, logical argument. and
yet the rabble often give him credit
for Deing an exceedingly smart fellow
and attribute to fear Of his intellectu-
al prowess hesitancy which really
proceeds from a natural dislike for
personal deflement. He is very
often "a staggering bully, yet is per-
mitted to pass unchallenged for the
same reason that men hesitate to at
tack a certain four-footed beast re-
nowned for its fragrant odor."
