his rear, but we think 1t will, some
time or other, be considered dsgrNceful
by the great Christian world"
Perhaps, now that these Federal
generals have fallen out with sherman,
the world will at last get as the truth
about the wanton burning ofColumhla,
South Carolina.
There never was the slightest doubt
in the south, rs to tho truth Of General
Wade llamptons charge against Sher-
man. in this connection but Sher-
mans untruthlul denial went current
attlie north. Now, we are likely to
learn the truth.
The lnct Is that OF all the men who
roso to fame during our lamentable
civil war, for wolllsh ferociIy, and
needless cruelty, General sherman had
no peer His march through the south
was the progress ola Ghengis Kahn, or
an Attila, rather than that of n Chris
tian general, We are glad that the
world is at last finding him out.

THE HON. SAMUELJ.R RANDALL AND
THE NEXT srEAA ERsHIP.

We were surprised to road The fol-
lowing clap-trap paragraph In the or
binary sensible Austin Statesman
"Randall voted for the back salary
grab and while a deal of nonsense has
been said andwritten about this vote
IL Is, neverthelessr true, that itconsti-
tutes too much dead weight for one to
carry who made money by It, IL of
course signifies nothing II the man
voting for II lost money 10y his vote.
But Randall Is high tariff and back
salary grabber, and this settles his
hash for the speakership."
The Statesman admits that a deal of
nonsense has been said and written
about the back pay business, and then
Immediately proceeds to add its contri-
button by concentrating us much non
sense, In u few lines, as most writers
could do in awhole column. 1t says
Randall's vote on the back salary 'set-
tied his hash.n Did our own Han.
cocks vote settle his hash q On the
contrary, was he. not NEGLECTED. almost
without opposition? win the States.
man dare to call Hancock u "salary
grabber?n The truth isthat the clamor
raised in the north about this matter,
was merely the bowling ofthe outs
against the ins, In both political par
ties. Thereis no question, that con-
stituted as Congress has been for the
past decade, even five thousa I'D
dollars per annum IL far IN excess OF
the services of n majority OF its men,
bers. AT the same time, there is no
surer way of belitting the position,
than by cutting down the pay, no that
none but the very rich or the very cor
rupt can afford to surrender his time
to the duties of national legislation.
Any citizen, aworthy to- represent his
state In the United States senate, or
his district In the lower house, is
worth all that Hancock and Randall
voted to give themselves. ? A'tfi att
