The Ecening Post says: !" The interest 10

topic of conversation, and frequent express
sions in regard to the wisdom and expedi-
ency Of holding 1t are heard. Ex-military
men are generally opposed to it, and one
sidered it as entirely uncalled for. The con.
duct Of Sheridan be considered entirely jus

Department, and he should be sustained
