attempts to place himself in a favorable ligh:
by referring to Gen. Sherman as the monster
who fired Atlanta and. spread desolation
through Georgia, he will find few sympathis-
ers outside of the circle of those who yet be-
lieve in the 'Gost cause" and are now labor
ing to regain it by following the fortunes of
the Democratic party.
If any of the gentlemen above named are
inspiring such puerile attacks upon General
Sherman as that he was month in the Con-
federate service, was Indifferent to the result
at the beginning of the war, they will find that
they are laboring in VAN. The American
people are too well acquainted with the his
tory of the war to accept such nonsense.
They generally hold the opinion that there
were four great leaders in the field who
brought the war to an end so far as general
ship can conduce to that result, viz, Grant,
Sherman, Thomas and Sheridan. They un-
derstand, too, that Gen. Sherman's campaign
of 1864 and 1865 were among the most bril-
liant and effective to be found in the history
of modern wars. They know that the man
who has led an army from Atlanta, Geor-
gia, three miles through the enemy's country
to Savannah, and then turned about and
fought and p1shed the foe, with large force,
nearly five hundred miles further, in the rainy
season, and at the end of that time find his
army and transportation in more effective
condition than when he started, is one of the
first military men of modern times. Such is
Gen. Sherman's record. No man can assail
it; and any attempt to do SO will rebound
upon those who undertake it,
But if Gen. Sherman has been free in his
censures he has been equally generous TO-
ward those who were his real competitors for
military honors. Gems. Grant, Thomas and
others receive the fullest credit for their
achievements. As subordinate he did his
utmost to obey the orders OF his superiors.
In every respect he was a conspicuous exam
pie of good soldier. He taught his men TO
endure privation by his own self-denial. He
inspired them by the high example of his
own devotion and-zeal. He has fairly won
the high position he holds, and it is too late
to attempt to detract from his well earned
honors.

THE investigation made in the New York
custom house by the officials of the Treasury
Department fixes the responsibility for the
smuggling through that bort by tray
elers, upon the employees in subordinate
positions. The whole matter is virtually in
their hands, and if they choose they can pass
any baggage upon the verbal declaration of
the owner that the contents are ordinary

mercial.1
The Country is being treated to the
regular annual accounts, through the
Western Associated Press, of the capture
ofcounterfeiters, with their plates, and
the work by the :Secre: Service force of
the Treasury Department. This force is
gone through with every year, just before
the meeting of Congress, in order that
such showing may be made as will
induce that body to make ample appro-
priatlons for the maintenance OF the force,
while for all practical purposes it is not
worth ,picayune. 1t is not believed
that one-fourth the stories told of the
work performed by these fellows have
any foundation. In fact, in many instan-
ces, the arrests are but rut-up jobs Of a
similar nature to- that which came to
light in New York last week, where it
was proven that the members of the
Secret Service force had deliberately
persuaded certain persons to pass coun-
terfet coin, and then arrest them for
doing so. The Judge promptly released
the prisoners and severely reprimanded
the detective. The Secret Service force
Of the Treasury is, under Washburn,
more efficient than before, but in the
last ten years it has been a costly and
useless incu brance to the transaction of
public business.

Detectives are in pursuit of Robert J.

clerk. jackson left The city suddenly
last week, and it being discovered that by
forgery, raising no;es, and a fraudulent
auction sale, he got off with several hum

case is the impression that important
documents and papers bearing on the
whisky ring and vital to the prosecution
Of the indicted parties are also missing.
This is denied by government officers, but
it is looked upon as altogether unreason-
able that Jackson has thrown up a good
position and salary for few petty hum
dreds, when thousands were within his
reach. The defaulter has been traced
through Chicago to Detroit, and informa.
ton was received tonight of his arrival

A Recommendation for Swift Justice
for Hank Davis. the m urdpreF.

7 Thanksgiving day Charley Whyland
of the st. Elmo restaurant, Chicago, one
of the best known restaurateurs of that
city, was killed by Henry Davis, said to
be a vagrant and rutfian Of the most pro-
nounced type, better known as John Tur-
ner than by his real name. Davis was
on aheavy spree during the day, hanging
around the restaurant, and about four
o'clock began to be noisy and tried to
create disturbance. Falling to find
any other victim at the time, he leased a
young pet bear belonging to Whyland un-
til it bit his hand, and then he Ii ted the
animal and threw it on the stone steps
with all his force. Whyland took
Davis to task for 'meddling with
the bear. Towards five clock
Davis entered the bar room, having mean
time been nuisance il, the restaurant de-:
partment, and was soon having a dispute
with young man named Clayton Favor
ite., Finally Davis struck Favorite in the
face with revolver, cutting long cash
which bled freely, and .Fayorite retired 10
the wash room where Davis followed him,
using boisterous and disgusting language.
Upon this Whyland entered the wash
room and ordered Davis out. AS Davis
and Whyland came out from the wash
room, thoy stopped at the stove, standing
opposite one another. Here Davis. after
vigorously abusing Whyland, suddenly,
with an oath, drew his revolver and,
placing it close to Whyland's left check,
