1t is satisfactory to find that the movement
in favor of a Central American COnfederacy
is making fair progress. The basis proposed
by Guatemala is defective, but if adopted,
"more perfect union" resembling our own
cannot be long deferred. The chief difficulty
In the way at present is the persistency with
which each Republic desires to maintain in
tact its separate existence.

The accounts we present of tho pleasant
work of Christmas in dispensing charity in
this city, should call attention to the needs OF
the societies which are engaged in relieving
the poor. There has seldom been Winter
when the pressure upon their means was so
heavy. Whatever else is cut short, the con-
tribution. to charity should be kept up to the
full amount.

The strike of thousand operatives of the
wooden mills at Rockville, Conn.,, is almost
sure to he a failure. There will be five offer
ing to do the work at the reduced prices for
every one that goes out on the strike. This is
a season when half a loaf to the laboring
man is better than none.

Mr.. Disraeli is likely to meet with consider
able difficulty in dealing with the claims of
the English tenant farmers, who are seeking
for greater protection against the demands of
the great landowners Mr.. Read, blunt,
honest farmer who is the champion of the
tenants, has already withdrawn from the Gov
eminent, being distrustful of the Premier's
intentions. Neither side being now in a mood
for compromise, Mr.. Disraeli cannot long avoid
defining his course on this vexed question.

The report elsewhere given of the addresses
on the subject of temperance, at the reception
Of Mr.. James ii. Raper, presents many points
of interest. President Hopkins, after review
of the relations of intemperance to the train
ing of youth in colleges, summed up the whole
argument in quoting the saying of Dr. Ed
munds that whatever is physologically right
is morally right" DIR. McCOsh stated as the
chief ground of his opposition to secret socie
ties at Princeton, that they generally produce
much dissipation among students. The work
of the temperance reform in England was de-
scribed by slr. Raper, and the noteworthy fact
mentioned that the chef pressure there at
present is to obtain from Government permits
sion for what we call local option " to regu-
late liquor traffic in communities.

DARING ROBBERY 4 TIRIBUTED
TO THE YOUNGER IND
JiMES BROTHERS.

st. Louis. MAY 1.-THE Dcmocrm has
special from Clinton, Henry county,
Missouri, giving an account OF II daring
robbery committed III that county last
Thursday: d. B. Lambert keeps coun-
try store twelve miles north of Clinton.
1t stands alone Oh the prairie, has GRO
uuet ground in the rear of the building,
and is the resort of the young people of
the neighborhood. Thursday morning
about eleven O'Clock two strangers rode
up, entered the store, and were shortly
followed by two other strangers. AS
soon as the latter entered the store the
first two drew revoivers, and commanded
Lambert to stand. The other two men
went to the croquet ground, where eight
gentlemen and ladies we're playing, or
dered them into the store, where they
were guarded by three Of the strangers,
while the fourth robbed the store of two
hundred dollars, fine watch, shotgun,
two reviewers, and a considerable guam
tlty of goods. They then left in the di-
rection of Clinton. All were well dress.
ed, genteel looking men, well armed and
mounted on splendid horses The rob
berry was done so quietly and quickly
at the time that a black mith working
one hundred yards distant knew nothing
of the matter until the affair was over.
A gentleman living near Clinton says he
saw and conversed with two of the
Younger Brothers, and from this fact
the robbery is attributed to the Younger
and James Brothers. No effort as yet
has been made to arrest the robbers, and
the dispatch says it is not likely there
will be.

CASSIUS M. CLAY.
--- -----------
Same RecoiActioHS Of the Career at a
Remarkable MdH,


Our telegraphic columns will revive
memories Of thirty years agoin the minds
of many of our citizens. Mr. Clay was
then-assisted by Frank ?. Blair and
Gratz Brown, of Missouri-the champion
of Abolitionism south Of Mason and Dix
on's line, at time when the advocacy OF
that doctrine was not conducive to long
evity in the locality named. Mr. Clay,
with Mr.. Buchanan, Of Madison county
Ky., voted TOR Lincoln in 1850. In 1861
he WAS made a Major General Of VoIun-
teers, but by reason of some difficulty
with Mr.. Cameron, at that time the Sec
retary of War; could never get com
mand in the field.
Some time in 1862 he was sent to st.
Petersburg as Minister, and while there
he was noted for his disregard OF the et-
tiouette of that most punctiious court.
AT his first interview with the Gar, he
walked into the presence chamber ana
after carefully planting hat OF the pecu-
liar Kentucky pattern, not as new as II
once was, on the Emperor's private Ia
bic. sat down to wait further proceed
ings Such thing as anybody sitting
down in the presence of the Emperor OF
all the Russias was unheard of; the I'M
perial Chamberlain was stupeiied, and
old Gortschako was rried almost faint
inc from the room. With all his eccen-
tricities and disregard Of ceremony, Mr.
Clay possessed good sound common sense,
and having as Secretary Of Lega ion his
nephew, Mr.. Green Clay, of Kentucky, a
most accomplished diplomat, the inter
ests of the country were all taken care Of
Mr. Clay has been very much dis,
pleased at the course fittings, and called
upon General Grant lately, 80 give him
a plain talking to-" as he said. He did
not meet with the success he had hoped
for in his interview with the President,
however, and has therefore gone over to
the opposition. Although cranky and
whimsical in some things, he is a man OF
the sternest integrity, and unquestioned
personal courage, which he has proven on
any occasions. But the attack on the
rights of the States is II thing no Ken.
luckian can stand So Mr.. Clay, with all
his hatred of the villainous slave power"
as he used to call it, had to go out OF the
Administration ranks. They have lost
good man.

GEN. SHERMAN

Has written book; The second volume
has appeared, which is history of his
connection with the late war and crlti-
cisms of officers engaged in the war. Gen
Sherman is the only one of the generals
of the late war who has felt called upon
to be his own historian.
He writes in:an irreguarat times care
less d rushing but brilliant and clear
style. Sherman's charaeterstands out in
every sentence, and it is the character of
a man gentle, brave, firm and ira TX, who
has much to say about himself and other
people and means to say it. Ills judg'
ments of his colleagues and ntagonists
are frankly expressed lie does not val
ue Hookers courage or genius. lie
thinks Logan and Blair are political
generals brave enough, but fighting for
advancement. He comedies great merit
to Thomas, but thinds he was slow. Me
CleIlan made fatal mistake in not going
into camp and studying his army instead
of remaining in the unhealthy luxury of
Washington. He esteems Joseph f..
Johnston, but actually thinks Jefferson
Davis capable of having planned Lin
coins assassination. His opinion of Mr.
Stanton is severe and decisive, going so
far as to intimate that he was party to
fraud upon the Treasury by removing
the marks from some captured cotton
The courage of expressing these opinions
now no one will question, no matter what
we think of the wisdom. They will GER
tainly lead to discussion and acrimony
No harm will result in the main for us
1t is better, after all, that the truth be
known. General Sherman had much
better say what he thinks now, when the
men he critiCises can answer HIM, than to
leave it for fifty years, until the parties
all are dead and the truth beyond dis
Covery.
This work decides who planned the
march to the sea, the capture OF Savan-
nah and the fall of Richmond. ln3on-
testably the honor belongs to sherman
When his mind was revolving around the
idea Grant himself was really at a loss to
know what to do with Shennans Amy,
and had some vague notion that it should
raid around Georgia and find Hood. Even
when Sherman developed his plan Grant
still thought he should first destroy Hood.
But finally Sherman had his own way,
and was allowed to plunge into Georgia,
making for Savannah, and keeping in
view the alternative of Pensacola. The
capture of Savannah was SHerman's idea.
When his army reached the seacoast
Grant sent him orders to park his artll-
lery and come with the main body OF his
troops to Richmond leaving Savannah
in the hands of the enemy. Evidently
Grant did not even then wish to risk a
blow at Lee until he had every man he
could find, This Sherman opposed, show
ing that the true way to attack Lee was
to march along the coast, and that the
capture of Savannah would be a material
blow at the rebellion.

real prosperity of this great speech OF

world at large. 1t announces the devel-
opment in Paris and in the great cities
Of France of new order of French Re-
publicans, men capable of cooperating
with the theoretical royalist in his
counting. house for the preservation OF
liberty, and capable of cooperating with
the imperialist peasant in his petty hold

Announcing this it announces the ineyl-
table identification from this time forth,
and by the sheer force of events, OF the
Republic in France, with all the most
solid interests and all the most active I'M
pulses of French society.

FUNERAL or THE LATE GENERA Il
BRECKLNRIDGE

LExINGroN, May Io.-The funeral of
General John {, Breckenridge took place
to day. 1t was ottended by an immense
throng of people anxious to pay the last
honors to the memory of great and good
man. The officers of State, headed by
Governor Leslie, were present IN body,
as also Senators Stevenson and McCreery
and many other distinguished men. The
funeral was conducted by the Knights
Templar, of which order Gen, Breckin-
ridge was an exemplary member. No
such outpouring of people has been wit
messed since the death of Henry Clay,
and what is more gratifying the distinc-
ton of party seemed to have been sunk
in those considerations which should
alone actuate the hearts of men who as
pire to be considered good citizens.

How IT Is DONE Somebody wrote to
the editor of a paper TO inquire how he
would break an OK. The editor replied
as follows IF only one OK, good way
would be to hoist him, by means OF long
chain attached to his tail. to the top Of a
pole forty feet from the ground; then hoist
him by rope tied to his horns to another
pole. Then let descend on his back five
ton pile driver, and if that fails to break
him, let him start country newspaper
and trust people for subscriptions. One
of the two will do it sure"
