The Pittsburg Post remarks that
according to Gen. Sherman's late
humiliating confession before a
Congressional Committee, he would
concentrate the army in the South
at the nod of Grant, and place it
under martial law, to please that

public declaration of Gen. Moor
head, because his duty as a soldier
obliged him to obey orders without
question. Is the civil above the

RATHER precipitately, and GER
tainlyprematurely, Governor Hayes
announced in his letter Of accep-
lance his "infexible purpose, if
elected, not to be a candidate for
election to a second term" Cover
nor TIlden has to say on the same
subject that "no reform of the civil
service in this country will be com
plete and permanent until its chief
magistrate is constitutionally dis
qualified for reelection, experience
having repeatedly exposed the fu-
tility of self-imposed restrictions by
candidates or incumbents." Both
u~tterances are hard on the late
third-term project, but Governor
Tilden's appeal to the experience

A New YORK journal, in refer
ring to the resignation Of Super'is-

able reappointment Of Mr. Mullett,
says: "There is no guarantee in
the law against the appointment Of
some impostor like Mullett to sue
coed Potter. Though it is good to
hear that the specific and concrete
Mullett is not likely to be appoint
ed, the general and promiscuous
charlatan, who knows no more
architecture than Mullett, is not
lacking. Mullett is a noun OIL
multitude signifying many. Blu
luckily there is no chance for al
architectural artist whom Genera.
Grant admires, to do much mischief
