ALABAMA sHEATs.

1t seems that our Southern neighbors
are not yet rid of this political pest,
commonly known as Dirty Sheats,"
on account Of his readiness to do Sen.
ator Spencer's or any other mans
dirty work. Finding his official head
as Sixth Auditor of the Treasury in
danger on account Of Spencer's dis
grace, he has volunteered in a special
work, whereby he hopes 10 earn the
privilege of holding his present place.
He S worth nothing as Sixth Auditor,
but he can do service as a meddling
politician, and has been granted
leave Of absence until the LIST of
July, for no other purpose than to 90
down to Alabama, and make as much
trouble as he can during the present
sitting Of the Constitutional Conven-
ton In that State He is not a men,
Der Of the Convention, and has no
business there, but goes as Government
meddler, and is allowed to draw his
pay for doing a lobbying business, in
the interest Of Radical rule. Some Of
his friends say be Will not return, as
he does not rely on Spencer any longer
to keep him IN Office, and VIII use his
leave Of absence with pay to get into
something else.

man. He was willing to place side by
side Gen. Sherman's refusal to make
him McPherson's successor and Gen.
Grants selection Of him to take Gen.
Thomas command and fight the final
battle in the Northwest. If Sherman
thought him unfit to succeed McPher-
son. Grant thought him fit tosupeTcede
Gen. Thomas, who, in the estimation
of the country, was not an inferior
commander to Sherman himself. He
would stand on his merits, and not
feel alarmed at the criticism of the
man who brought down the cOndemna-
ton Of the whole country and the pub
lie reprimand Of the Secretary of War
for his infamous terms of surrender
offered to Gen. Johnston.
Gen. Sherman is also very severe IN
his criticisms of Secretary Stanton.
He charges that Secretary Stanton's
interference in the matter of the cotton
captured has given rise to the millions
of cotton claims now pending In the
courts and Congress. He also charges
that Stanton tried to make the country
believe he was a traitor. Mr.. Edwin
T. Stanton, a son of the famous War
Secretary, is a prominent young law
yer Of this place, and l called on him
to learn what he had to say about
Sherman's reflections on the memory
of his dead father. He said that dur
ing the war he served with his father as
private secretary, and had made men,
Oranda Of many important events,
which he hoped before long to
put before the public in book form.
One of the interesting features of these
memoranda would be the troubles his
father had with Gen. Sherman. In
word, the great weakness of Sherman
was that at times he acted as if he
thought himself Grand Mogul, Presi-
dent, Chief, Secretary
of War, Congress, and everything else
combined.
There seems to be no surprise that
Sherman speaks shghtingly of Sigel,
but that he should be so very bitter in
denunciatiOn of Hooker is thought
strange. His love for Buell., McClel-
Ian, McCook, Crittenden and Burnside
is explained by his prejudice for West
Pointers, and is looked upon as help
ing to explain his dislike of Logan and
Blair. The book promises a lively SEN
sation from this point before long.

sRoNNLoW,s BLIND RIsorRY.


Twenty years ago one Brownlow ac-
quired the soubriquet Of the Fighting
Parson" from the energy with which
be battled against ''Abolitionists" and
"Romanists. He seems to have swal-
lowed his hate Of the former class when
they afforded him an opportunity to
crawl into the Governorship and Sena-
torial chair-positions that, otherwise,
he would never have filed, had he lived
to the age of Methuselah. But he has
never recovered from his mortal dread
Of the Pope, and has no faith in the
ability ,of Victor Emmanuel or even
Bismarck to checkmate the dia-
bOlic designs of the octogenarian
Of the Vatican. From the last issue of
the KnorUiIle Chronicle we learn that
Brownlow is to be burned at the
stake" so soon as the Pho Mono sue
ceeds in establishing the inquisition in
this country, and much other nonsense
Of the same sort, admirably calculated
to drive all decent Catholics out Of the
party in which its editor figures as a
high priest. As a matter of fact, here
In Tennessee, Catholic voters have sup
ported RepubEcanism since the war
quite handsomely, until the last cleo
ton, when Civil Rights had the same
effect on many of them that it did on
Brownlow himself. As a Republican,
a Union man, and an ex-Gov-
ernor Of the Safe, Brown
low ought to know this, IN
fact must know it necessarily, and his
present insinuatioDs that they are mere
puppets in the hands of the priests, to
be sold over to the Democracy, is but
another example of black Republican
ingratitude. The attempt of desperate
Radicals to hide their shortcomings by
raising a cloud Of religious prejudice
IN political circles, is in itself contempt
ible-but drowning men Will catch at
straws. So far as Tennessee is con-
cerned, any such attempt must result
Ia ignoble failure. Meanwhile, Brown
lows tactics viii naturally drive out of
the Republican ranks every Catholic
who respects himself. Democrats can
offer no objection to this effect, how
ever strongly they condemn its cause.

FRAUDS IN THE QUARTERMAS.
TER'S DEPARTMENT.

1t is the old, old story. This time,
however, it is the Quartermaster
Generals Department in which frauds
are announced, and Gen. Montgomery
c. Meigs viii be invited to retire, IN
less the newspapers prevent it by tell
ing all they know too soon. The
Quartermaster's Bureau has charge Of
the awarding Of all contracts for
transportation and government sup
plies Although this business has
been marked by shameful Irregular
ties for several years past, the powers
that be are only now opening their
eyes. All stipulations Of law designed
to check frauds have been systemat-
ically ignored, and contractors have
fattened at the public crib. There is
an effort to exonerate Meigs from
knowledge or participation in these
stupendous frauds, bis advancing
years and goodness of heart making
HIM an inviting prey for the political
vultures" with whom he is represented
to "have surrounded himself" We
are assured further that "the thieves of
the whisky ring are angels Of light
compared with these Ioathsome rep
tiles" all of which sounds strange
coming from administration organs,
but scapegoats are IN great demand
Just now, and we suppose old General
Meigs must walk the plank.

HE sourH AT PHILADELPHIA

THE SOUTH AT PHILADELPHIA.
VIM. H. Parsons, Centennial Com
missioner for Texas, writes to the Nel0
York Herald: 1.-The most august spec
tacle, that will overshadOw IN moral
grandeur all other events of the cen
fury, viii be the probable complete and
voluntary extiuguishment Of the ep-
bers Of the war during the centennial
celebration of 1876. Assembling
again around the once common altar
upon which was lit the first flame of
the American struggle for indepen-
dence, these men of the blue and the
gray will renew the olden bonds Of
amity and reconsecrate the original
spirit of liberty and union, to remain
forever one and indivisible." Taking
this for a text, the Herald argues that
every interest of the South dictates a
full and emulous participation by this
section In next years centennial. Let
the world be shown what the SO1th
really possesses, its strength, its hidden
wealth, its capacities for invention and
discovery in the arts and sciences.
The land Of Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson, Lee and Johnston has
nothing to fear as to its fame
among nations which respect
valor and political wisdom. But
the South still suffers from misconcep-
tons at home and abroad Of It's old pc
culiar institution. The centennial af-
fords a golden opportunity for exhibit
ing the South as it is to-day, without
slavery. The prominent part taken by
our revolutionary ancestors IN the
events 10 be commemorated afford an
Indictment to the task which the South
ern temperament can best appreciate.
The glories Of Philadelphia, that cradle
OF liberty, belong to the South as much
as to the North-tO Virginia and the
Carolinas as much as to Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire. Those petty spir-
its who imagine that the South will re-
fuse, through suIlenness, to participate
cordially in these revolutionary me-
mories, are utterly incapable of appre'
bending southern character. To do so
would be to divest ourselves Of an heir
loom of patriotism the highest ever
handed down from sire to son.
