The Influence Of Washington sOci-
etV.ss

Under the above head we find the follow
ing dispatch in the Baltimore Gazette,
"WAsHINGToN, March 26.-General Sher-
man says that he has not the slightest !esire
10 return 10 Washington, and will not unless
compelled TO do so by The passage of Mr..
Barnum's bill, which fixes the headquarters
Of the army in this city. Sherman says that
his objections To Washington stlll remain
good. He does not like the influences of So
~ciety, and he could not live decsnrly on his
pay and keep up appearances. Now that IL
Is proposed 10 reduce his pay nearly one
hall. and require him to have his quarters in
Washington, he don't know what ne will do.
lie says however, that he will wait until
congress settles the question before giving
positive answer as to his future intentions"
The public are getting little tired of this
Sherman baby-talk about the inability TO
live deceBtIy in Washington on his ample
pay, or 10 bring up family respect
ably here on account of the contain
tnatirg influences of Washington. This
sort Of assertion is a Islander upon the
thousands OF respectable families in pub
lie and private life that are maintained
decently and reputably In Washington, I'M
contaminated by society influences and on
an income vastly less than the comfortable
pay received by the General of the Army.
The truth is there is no city in the
Union where the mere possession or ex-
penditure of money goes so little to
give position in the best society as
In Washington; and there is no city
where public man can regulate his ex-
penditures TO suit his means or tastes
with such perfect freedom as in Washington
And Gen. Sherman's pueriIe talk about the
low tone OF Washington society is elevated
to pitch of absurdity when it is remem-
bered that he selects st. Louis, that head
quarters of crooked whisky, and emporium
OF pork, as the city of all American cities in
which TO find the sort OF arcadiaD society,
neat but not gaudy, his soul pines for. To
the refining and eDobling influences of that
society, made up OF wealthy distillers and
pork packers, he thinks family can be en-
trusted, TO be brought up purely, decently,
and 'reputably. Well, every one to his own
tastes; but If Gen. Sherman concludes that
he absolutely can't live reputably in Wash
trgtOn, let him resign his position as General
ofthe Army, and make his abode in some city
where he can. The Headquarters of the
Army should be in Washington, that is GER
tain.

Instead OF making his appearance before

Washington within seven hours from the

A noble charity which deserves more than
a mere mention is that OF Mrs. Jonathan
Sturgis, OF New York, who has purchased
Cozzen's famous hotel on the Hudson to be
used for convalescent patients from hos
pitfalls. Situated on precipitous bluff over
looking the American Rhine at West Point
this old hostelry, the favorite resort of Gen.
Winfield Scott In his declining years, al

General, backed up by few hundred follow

prison all who refuse TO subscribe. These
forced loans must be getting m onotonous TO

When the bill appropriating 81 500 900 for
the Centennial Exhibition passed Congress
many Of the friends Of this national enter
prise expressed great dissatisfaction with
that feature OF the bill which provided that
the Government should be repaid before any
profits were paid to the stockholders. The
knowing ones, however, expressed the opin-
ion that the proviso amounted to nothing
anyway, and ridiculed the idea that the Gov
eminent would ever be reimbursed to the
extent OF a dollar. The Philadelphia Leiyer
thinks the natural Interpretation of the law
is that the stockholders may receive q return
OF the principal invested before the Govern
ment is paid anything, since the law says
the Government shall be repaid before any
Prefts are paid stockholders. 1t is not prob
able that Uncle Sam will get a return In
money for his appropriation to the Centen-
NAL, and yet the Investment may be a good
one In national way by insuring the sue
cess OF the exposition and enabling us to
make a creditable display before the world.
