MRS. sHERMAN's LETTER.

No. 9l2, GARRISON AVENUE, ST. LOUIS,
Mo-. July Sd, 1875. Ny DEAR SIR
The general is absent, but / have seen
your letter, and the article inclosed from
paper which has been considered respect
able.
The General has no intention to answer
anything which has been put forth in a
spirit OF malice, envy, anger, or resentment
regarding his Memoirs.
6You may say for me, however, that the
most "ghastly apparition" which rises be-
fore my soup'--the one which fills me
with the greatest horror" lis the awful
dread of those Especially il they be Cath
olics) who indulge in such base ISLANDERS
and spread forth such malicious false
hoods.
My knowledge of Gen. Shermans char
acter is thorough. Every year of his life,
since he was years old, l have associated
with him or correspondent with him, and i
have known his sentiments we'll Could the
natural virtues and q heart free from NAL
ice, resentment,o or injustice, secure Heaven
to man, need not ask for him the super.
natural gift of faith.
The Courier Journal says he perpetrated
an enormity in himself applying the torch
to factory, during which time he was also
guilty Of blasphemy, Isay Gen. Sherman
was never guilty OF blasphemy or profanity
and the men Of the Gu knew when they
published that article that he never APP
piled the torch to building.
How shameful to SANDER Religious by
accusing her of deliberately calling down .
curse upon a man!
When the convent of the Ursuline nun,
at Columbia. s. c., was reported to be il
danger of burning, Gen. Sherman sent
my brother, Gen. Charles Ewing, of hi
staff, and commissary officer, Maj. j
Comyn, both Catholics, with orders anC
authority to do all that could be done fol
the Sisters and for those under thei
charge. They executed the order witt
zeal and great kindness, and under continu
ed instructions from Gen. Sherman the!
assigned to them a goodly share of com
missary stores, and attended to their want
until the army left the place.
Curses which are called down will no
fall upon Gen. Sherman, and he is to-
good to wish that they may rest upon thost
who invoke them.
Let the malicious reyile, and the talst
invent ISLANDERS, and let such journals a
choose to deal in such things publish tt
any extent, but let them not presume tt
assign to me sentiments 80 foreign to 70!

Andrew jackson and Hard Money.

Below will be found extracts from the
address of President Andrew Jackson.
issued when he retired from Office. The
whole address is full of denunciation of the
paper money system, which had been
foisted on the people by the Wings, but
we have space only for few of the most
trenchant expressions of the glorious old
patriot. If the doctrine expressed herein
is not that of the Democratic party, will
anybody tell US when it ceased to be SO?
1t was sound party principles in 1887:
In reviewing the conflicts which have
taken place between different interests in
nothing that has produced such deep sec
tional evil as the course of legislation in
relation to the money. The constitution
of the United States unquestionably in
tended to secure to the people circulat-
ing medium of gold and silver. 1t was
not easy for men engaged in the ordinary
pursuits of business, whose attention had
not been particularly drawn to the subject,
to foresee all the consequences of cur
rency exclusive of paper; and we ought
not, on that account, to be surprised at
the facility with which laws were obtained
to carry into effect the paper system.
| Honest, and even enlightened men. are
sometimes misled by the specious and
plausible statements of the designing.
The paper system being founded on pub
lie confidence, and being of itself of no
intrinsi; value, is liable to great and sud-
den fluctuations, thereby rendering prop
erty insecure and the wages of labor un-
steady and uncertain. But experience
has now proven the mischief and danger
of paper currency, and it rests with you
to determine whether the proper remedy
shall be applied.
1t is one of the serious evils of our pres
ent system of banking, that it enables one
class of society, and that by no means (;
numerous one, to act iDjuriously upon thu
interests Of all others, and to exercise more
than its just proportion of influence in pc
litical affairs,
The paper money system and ats Rdt1rd
associates, monopoly and exclusive priUi
LegeS, hare already struck their roots deel
IN the soil, and 1t a0iU require all yOul
efforts to check its further groacth, and t.
eradicate the evil.
But it will require steady and persever
} ing exertions on your part to rid yOurSelUe
of the impurities and mischief of the pdpe
! money system, and check the spirit of mon
J opoly and other abuses which have sprun
up with it, and of which it is the mai
support, My humble efforts have nc
! been spared, during my administration c
r the government, to restore the constitu
tional currency of gold and silver.

His IIOnOr's Matinee.

The reception given by the chief en-
ecutive of this great and prosperous
metropolis was well attended. There
was n mingling of c0lors, but all met
in one harmonious gathering.
The first gentleman who bowed his
entrance before the throne was the
Right Hon. Thomas Henry Cook, who
innocently put in mild demurrer to
the charge of creating disturbance.
The court deeming the points well
taken sustained the demurrer, and
Tom Henry walked out free man
without having to draw on the eX-
chequer for nickel.
William Crutchlield, one of the ma
TONS orphan wards, was the next to
put in IN appearance. Bill was charged
with indulging in the harmless and in.
nocent recreation of beating an unfor-
tunate colored orphan whom he claims
as his better half. AS he hadn't been
drinking he was let off light-four dol
lars and costs.
A new face, gentleman from the
south OF Italy, and sailing under the
royal old name of Jack O'Bryan, fell
from the effects of that deadly enemy
to his race, and was taxed two dollars
to form sinking fund to liquidate the
city's blessing-or debt-and about sew
Ell dollars to procure summer suits for
the city police.
An African with an English pa
tronymic, was asked to contribute
four dollars to the general fund, and
twice as many more to the special
fund, for using some very bad Ian
guage in the presence of ladies. The
probabilities are that he will liquidate
the debt by generous distribution
in the city prison of an odorOus per-
fume less heavenly to the olfactories
than patchOula or new-mown hay.
b. L. DAZZLING has bad habit of talk
ing too much, and of course cannot, at
all times, be expected to follow literally
that strain INDUCED in byMr. Chester
field and other gentlemen of refined
manners, language, etc. Well, he just
paid four dollars and the necessary
trimmings for using some very abusive
language.
"A couple of negro strumpets were
with using profane language
in the presence of ladies. Martha
Parker plead not guilty, and her case
was dismissed. Emma Blizzins plead
guilty and was fined the trimmings
and four dollars.
