4 lST0RMING P4RTY.

The war on Gen. Sherman on account OF hls iick-
less Memoirs has only begun. No assailant
who has yet taken the field comes with anything
like the combined military equipment and profes-
siona training which Gen. II. V. Boynton brings to
the task he has undertaken. What that is in his
own language, is "to show wherein the Memoirs
of Gen Sherman fall far short of presenting the cor
rect history of many great events OF which they
treat how much they lack of giving complete
account of incidents which they relate; how
far the authors recollection, even when cor
rected by his own memoranda, Is al
fault and to furnish the future historian
with facts which will guard him against per-
pctuatng the error and the injustice when perVade
both volumes of the work"
Gen. Boynton served with Rallantry in the
famous march of Shermans army from Chat
tanooga to Atlanta, and did not escape
without honorable wounds. He received fire.

Williams thought the treat ought to he ut the cost

When party refused to contribute to our support

the adjoining property and permitted his to be

Williams in Washington when he gets home.

MASSACHUSETTS, Politics.

Ii is almost too early to venture upon say
inc who will be the next Governor of Massa-
chusetts; too early in fact to risk so much as
a conjecture upon the result OF the November
election. The number of independent voters,
whose action cannot be forecast with any de-
gree of accuracy, increases every year. and
there are more men in Massachusetts to-day
than ever before who have not yet made up
thcir own minds which way to vote. The ac-
ton of convention does not now, as
formerly conclude everything, and hand
over to the voter who wears the party
name his ticket fixed and folded. ready
to be dropped into the box. great many
voters thousands of them in Massachusetts,
are thoughtfully unfolding the bits of paper
that contain the Convention work, and
curiously examining and comparing the names
OH both. They are thinking, too, about what
the tickets and the parties and the resolutions
and all the rest actually mean. These men
have not made up their minds yet how they
will vote, and there are several things posi-
ble to happen in the next three or four weeks
which may affect their decision, and 80

Mr.. McCullochs letter on initiation fallacics
which we publish to-day analyzes the rhetoric
which Mr. Wendell Phillips has put forth iii
lieu of argument. SO far as disposing of Mr..
Phillips's froth is concerned, that is OF course
an easy matter, and the question might III
fact be asked whether the game is worth the
candle, were it not that it gives the ex-Secre-
tary opportunity to bring into light alongside
of the ficti0ns of the rag money orators the
facts of history and experience. He is thus
enabled to show conclusiyely that nations are
least prosperous when specie payments are
suspended, and grow most rapidly Ill wealth
after they have fairly settled down to hard
cash and honesty. The absurd notion of non
exportable money, aud the wild resolutions OF
the Detroit Convention, also receive IN this
letter full consideration. Mr.. McCulOch justly
congratulatcs his countrymcn that the imitation
advocates have at last thrown of disguise and
declare themselves in favor of bomdless cX-
pansion and violation of all national faith.
A few days will now determine whether pru-
dence as well as shame not forgotten, in
making their disgusting display before election.

of Mr.. Noe is ciIcumstantal evidence to which
