GEN. Ii. V. BoYNToN, Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, has written review of General
Sherman's memoirs. 1t is based on
compilations from the records of the
War Department at Washington.
The object of the volume, as stated
by the author, is to "Show wherein
the memoirs of General Sherman fall
far short Of presenting the correct
history of many great events Of which
they treat; how much they lack OF
giving complete account of incidents
to which they relate" &c.
Gen. Boynton is q ready writer,
and his long experience, together with
his ability as a writer, will enable
him to present volume of rare inter.
est. Those who feel an interest in
the history of the late war, and espe'
cially that portion of it treated of in
this volume, will find it we'll worthy
of perusal.
1t is being published by Wilstach
Baldwin & Co., Cincinnati, and will
be uniform with Sherman's memoirs
and will also be companion volume
to that work.

CAPT. A. J. KICKS

BY reference TO an announcement
elsewhere it will be seen that Capt.
A. j. Kicks has disposed Of his en-.
tire interest in this paper. lie left on
the IL o'clock train last night for
Massillon, Ohio, where he will make
his future home. 1t is with profound
regret that we part with Capt. Kicks.
He has been connected with the
CHRONICLE from its first number, and
to his vigorous pen, as well as his
business capacity, is due in a large
degree the success we have achieved.
We will miss his pen and bis valua-
bic counsel, and especially will we
miss him as one whom we have learn
ed to love and respect. He is high
toned. honorable gentleman whom to
thoroughly appreciate, one must in
timotely know, as we have known him.
Capt. Kicks came TO Knoxville soon
after the close of the war, read law and
became co-partner in the law-frm of
Baxter, Champion & Kicks. He gave
unusual promise of success in his pro-
fession here, and had he turned his
entire attention to the practice of law
would have stood in the front rank of
the members of the Bar at his age.
He resumes the practice of his pro.
fession at Massillon, and we predict
for him flattering success. To those
among whom he goes we need not
commend him, for they have known
him since his boyhood days, and will
find that the addition of years has de-
tracted nothing from his high charac.
ter for true manhood. We wish him
the most unbounded success, and
shall continue to cherish for him no
other feeling than one Of lively inter.
est in his behalf.

A special dispatch from Cleveland
to the New York Times explains how
the Republicans succeeded in Ohio
las Tuesday, as follows:
There we're scenes at the polls in our
principal wards on Tuesday which confirm
and ennoble ones faith in popular suffrage.
Troops Of laborers and mechanics, men
working gladly for 81 20 to So per day,
men who have but one suit Of clothes and
eat their bread without butter, come to the
polls with the plausible arguments of the
moro money-doctors still ringing in their
ears, and voted the Republican ticket.
They had studied and discussed the flnan-
cial question until they could clearly see
that their duty rs voters was TO be honest,
and they turned from the roseate pictures
Of abundant money and high wages, as
drawn by Cary and Kelley, and voted npon
principle.
The Germans have behaved nobly. Their
innate adherence Of anything like fimsi-
ness or clsp.trap 10 finance has been rein
forced by thoir hostility to Catholic aggres
sion, and they have voted for hard money
and free schools. The Eleventh Ward OF
Cleveland, which gave Allen a majority OF
1877 two years ago now gives Hayes ma
jority Of 49, This change Of 80 voters
in small ward comes mainly from the
fact that German Lutheran congregation
in that precinct assembled at the church on
election morning, and, marching in quiet
procession to the polls, cast $50 votes for
honest money and unsoctarian schools
Say what we may, the Catholic issue has
been powerful Republican impulse on the
Western Reserve.

THE Greeneville american, in its
notice of the Soldiers Reunion at
Greenegille. makes an ill-Datured
attack on Capt. Newton Hacker, and
charges that his speech on the occa-
sion alluded to was strongly partisan.
The writer of this was present, and
heard Capt. Hackers speech, but
failed to discover in it anything of a
partisan nature. 1t was strongly
commendatory of the patriotism and
courage of East Tennessee Federal
soldiers, but we have yet to learn
that that is partisan. The american
is mistaken in its assumptions. We
have heard no such criticisms OF
Capt. HIS speech from any other
quarter, and nothing short of d
diseased Imagination could take of.
Tense at what he said.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT AN
OH REPROBATE.

That-old reprobate aud william, d.
II. Hill, who was educated at West
Point at the expense of the Govern
ment he afterwards attempted to de-
stroy, and still hopes to destroy, is
out in an editorial in the vile, dirty
sheet of which he is the editor, on
IAN Independent Press" The
words Of such q miserable old scaven.
ger have but little weight on any sub
ject, and the idea of one whose judg-
ment is so partisan, and whose in
stincts are so low and mean, attempt.
ing to instruct intelligent people
about ian independent press,'' is
utterly absurd. To be Independent
one must possess some of the attri-
butes of manhood Hill is as desti-
tute of these as the hyena that ranges
the jungles of Africa. His exploits
consist chiefly in attacking the repu-
tations of dead men.
If man is in his grave, he
thinks he may Islander him with i'm
punity.
In the editorial alluded to above he
says:
Old Brownlow intinidated the Press by
his ruffian militia who were ready to muir
der any outspoken editor.
Now he well knew when he penned

unmitigated falsehood. No such a

The CHURCH papers Of the NJ. +.
Church South have raised question
as TO the genuineness of the recent
remarkable letter published in the
New York Methodist and republished
in this paper, written by the late
Bishop Capers. If the letter is a
fogery it appears to US that there need
be no trouble in detecting the fogery.
1t was written to Mr.. Du Pre- Of South
Carolina, who is still living, and GER

Bishop Cspers' handwriting is well
enough known to establish the fact
whether be wrote it or not. Predict.
ing the downfall of slavery nearly
twenty years before it came about,
and the prediction coming from a
leading Southern man and a distin.
guished divine, makes the letter deep.
ly interesting. If there is any doub.
about the commences of the letter
we trust the doubt may be removed.
If it is a forgery the world wants to

like to know it. Until it is proved a
forgery, we think a majority will be,

rHE LEADERs In OHIO.

THE LEADERS IN OHIO.
The smoke from the battlefield in
Ohio has cleared away and il is time
to apportion some of the honors. We
notice a disposition to give the honor
of victory where it does not justly
belong. E#.g
From the first speech in the mem
orable canvass down to the last, Gen.
Hayes was the central figure Of the
fight. lie was not noisy and blatant
and overbearing as Allen, for he is in
every respect gentleman. But his
speeches were from the first thorough.
ly sound on the currency. lie did
not wait 10 sec how the tide was run.
ming but was earnest and aggressive
from the start for honest money and
fair dealing with our creditors. His
speeches made votes, aud those who
propose to ignore him are ignorant Of
Ohio politics. lie is to-day the
strongest Republican before the peo-
pie that there is in the State His
victory puts him in the front rank Of
Presidential candidates for 1876.
Great credit is due to Mr.. Murat
Halstead, editor OF the Cincinnati
Commercial, for his aggressive, per.
sistent and very able editorials on the
Currency question. He did not over
estimate the intelligence Of Ohio
voters, and treated them rs men who
wanted to be honest and patriotic.
lie led them straight from the start.
We need not mention the host of
good Republican papers throughout
the State that so nobly fought the
fight. The Cincinnati Gazette led
the regulars in an efficient manner.
The part taken by Judgc Taft will
also be remembered. His purity of
character Justly gives him great in
fluence in Ohio, and his ringing
speeches in which he boldly met the
issues presented and dealt vigorous
blows upon the adversary, told whor-
ever he went.
The German Protestants OF Ohio
deserve great praise for their intelli.
gent and patriotic course. They fol-
lowed their great leader Carl Schurz,
who turned the tide and led his coun.
trymen on to victory. The Germans
of Ohio are proud of Carl Schurz, as
we'll they may be, for there is no
purer or nobler statesman in the land.
There are some of the few leaders
who aided tile cause of honest-money
and free schools: the third State of
the Union, and the Republicans of the
South send them greeting and thou
sand thanks for their glorious victory.
In addition to the above leaders
in the State, the aid of such men as
Senators Morton, Boutwell,, Dawes
and Oglesby anil Gen. Woodford of
New York, and great many others
can not be over estimated. The Demo
Gratis, four weeks before the election,
boosted loudly of the forty thousand
majority by which Allen was to be
elected. But their boosted majority
didn't foot up when the returns came
in.

THE jackson Wing and Tribune
PHILOSOPHERS over the result IN Ohio
thusly:
Contrary to public expectation the State
of Ohio has returned to its first love and
gone Republican by small majority, sufi-
cient, however, for all practical purposes.
"This result will be accounted for in
different ways, and it will require time TO
develop the real cause of the defeat Of the
Democratic party. ....
ave think it unfortunate that tho 1nan-
cial issue was made to predominant over
all others in the canvass, because men Of
the same party will differ in dcvising
methods to provide a sound and healthy
circulating medium. This is the first check
of the tidal wave since the public mind
bad set 50 strongly against Grant and his
third term aspirations, and in this connec-
ton alone it may be put down as a national
calamity. It may postpone the period OF
reform, and, if it does not confirm the Re-
publicans in their present lease of power
it will make them harder TO dislodgc in the
| future

WILLIAM ALLEN, the Defeated, is
said to be the profanest man on
American soil. He swears with a
fuency that 1.-THE army in Flanders"
knew nothing of. He swears at all
times and under all circumstances,
and it comes perfectly natural with
him. But since last Tuesday eve
ming at Z o'clock p. NJ. his swearing
capacity has acquired a fearful mo.
mentum. Oaths come from him in

The purpose of those who favor
honest money, is not to depreciate
the value Of the dollar belonging to
the creditors of the Government, but
TO make every other dollar just as
good. The wild inhationists desire
TO discriminate between the money OF
the bond holder and the laboring man.
While the bond.holder's dollar is
worth one hundred cents, they would
leave the poor mans dollar worth
eighty.five cents or less.
