SHERMANON RELkNAP.
Keep This In sight.

Reporter-Tell me, please, how the
appointive prerogative came to be trans
ferred from the commanderin-ch chief to
the Secretary OF War
Gen. Sherman Originally that power
was vested i'm the Secretary OF War, but
while President Grant was Commander
in chief thuk it was in 1865 or 1866 To-
d Joint resolution Of the House OF Con
gress transferred it to him. When / sue
cecded him, Of course, it rested with
me. There was no question about 1T
until, I think, some time in 1870, when
/ received letter from Colonel Robert
Campbell, protesting against the re-
moval Of Mr.. Ward, then pOst-trader at
Fort Laramie, stating that he had not
been allowed time to settle his affairs
and must suffer great loss. l replied
that had not removed Mr.. Ward, nor
had / any knowledge OF his. removal
A little inquiry developed the fact that
Secretary Belknap had, for some unex-
planned reason, ordered the removal.
'T called General Belknap's attention
to the fact that the right to make such
an order rested solely with me, and L
reinstated Mr. Ward. 1t was not long
after that that the act was passed plac-
ing the appointing power In the
hands OF the Secretary of War.
Whether or not General Belknap was
the person who secured the passage OF
that act, L do not know, but ! suppose

One Of the most interesting features
OF the worlds fair at Philadelphia will
be the women's department-not de-
partment merely presided over by
women, but one devoted exclusively to
the exhibition of the products OF
woman's inventive genius, and the re-
suits Of her industrial pursuits. The
proposition to give the fair such a
feature was first made in 1873, when
several women of Philadelphia set to
work and raised $4,000 for the purpose.
After that applications for space to ex-
hibit women's achievements in the arts
came in so fast from foreign countries,
as we'll as from different parts OF the
United States, that it was determined to
construct special pavilion and make
the women's exhibition a separate de-
partment. This made more money
necessary. The women Of Philadelphia
responded promptly with subscriptions;
amounting to $4,000; Ohio followed
with SIS. 900, and Massachusetts SUD,
scribed 5000 more. This leaves about
s15. 900 still to be raised before the pa
yilion can be completed, and the women
of New York have undertaken to make
up that balance.

A German Criticism Of the Turkish Army

From the LONDON SpcctatOFJ
The Alegen,ei,se Zeitlng gives the
leading place in its columns to areview,
by the well known military correspond
and training Of the Turkish army dur
ING recent years and at the present mo-
ment. 1t is hardly an exaggeration Of
the general sum Of Her Won Wickede's s
description Of the regular army Of the
Sultan to say that it Is three
fourths mob OF the most patient,
brave, unmurmuring, unframed,
ununiformed, unfed, unofficered ''men
with muskets" in the world.
What causes very wide opinion OF a
more favorable character Is that Euro
peans usually judge the Turkish army
| by the troops Of the metropolitan divi-
sion. But these form the Imperial
Guard, the very corps d'ehte OF the en-
| the best uniformed and best ratiOned
as well as best Differed, throughout the
Sultan's dominions. AS for the corps oi
Bulgaria, Roumelia, Anatolia and the
other provinces, glance at their off
er-body is enough to exhibit their utter
unfitness to meet the exigencies Of mod
q The m", turkish officers fall under two
heads, equally ignorant Of their profes
sion, but widely different in other re
spects. The one includes the rude, un
trained, ordinary officers, hardly dis
tinguishable in any way from their men
the other the scions Of favoritism, tn
dandies Of New Turkey, the most con
ceited, the most effeminate, and tn
most worthless Of their race. Better
thousand times the rough, untraine,
but upright and courageous Turks
captains and majors, who will thankful
ly accept a backshish or pourbOire Of
few piastres, than the elegant, worn -ou
unnerved young men OF good famil,
whom high protectors, omnipotent i
Turkey, raise to commands for whic
they lack every element OF informatio
! and capacity.

Senator Sharon. Of Nevada, who has
inst taken his seat in the Senate, is thus
described: 'In stature the new Senator
is small, and lacks the stouteness OF his
colleague, Senator Jones. He has a
dun-colored moustache and imperial,
wears e-glasses, and is apparently on
the sunny side OF fifty. He IS bald on
the back of his head, and his thin cover

The western Union telegraph Company
-Its Action ~ viewed by the New

New YORK, March 9.-The Tribune
this morning, referring In It's financial
article to yesterdays action OF the
Directors OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company postponing the subject
meeting, and the report Of President
Orton, says 1t is doubtful IL the public
were generally prepared for sc, poor
financial showing. 1t shows that the
company has either paid too large divi-
dends, or that it resumed dividends too
soon.
The Herald says Following the an
nouncemert OF the company passing lts

From the London SPECTATOR

FTOU tHt LDHuoH ppNS''Ni't
The "Domesday Book OF England
and Wales has at length appeared, and
when it's true character has been recog..
nized will create an unusual amount or
social and perhaps political interest; 1t
is a nominal roll Of every man In Eng
land who possesses an acre OF her soil,
covering every grade Of propriletorship,
from the mighty Duke Of Northumber-
land. who possesses in a single county
ISL 900 acres Of soil, yielding on
an average nearly f1 an acre, or
the Duke of Devonshlre, with
S3, 600 acres in Derbyshire alone, to
the retired tradesman, who talks OF the
grounds of an acre and half sur
rounding his Middlesex or Surrey villa.
Every man who has Il copy can tell at a
glance how much land the neighboring
magnate, or his own rival in the county,
or the new purchaser who has just
called on him, possesses of the soil, and
what the amount Of his rent-roll would
be if it were unburdened, both stated
with official accuracy and clearness.
The book shows that less than forty
three thousand persons are landowners
in England in the political sense OF the
word.

sAMBO AT THE CENTENNIAL.
The Cause Of Ills Loyal Euthusiasm

from the Charleston News and Courler
One OF our correspondents, and many
good people besides, are needlessly puz-
zling themselves over the anxiety Of the
South Carolina negroes to take part in
the pomp and pageant OF the Centennial
Exposition. To those who are most
familiar with the character Of the colored
people, especially as developed "since
Emancipation come out" the cause Of
their desire to be present at the national
glorification Is not very far to seek.
1t matters no whit to them that
the success OF the First Rebellion i'm
this country was an indirect cause Of
their continuance In slavery for the
Aast forty years. All they know, or care
to know, Is that camp meeting or corn
shucking OF some description and on q
magnificent scale is advertised to come
off in Philadelphia on the next Fourth
OF july, and they ardently long to be
there. They know that it Is "a Yankee"
concern, and they shrewdly suspect that
corn whisky will abound-and what
would they more? The instinct which
tells them that many OF the Southern
people have no interest In the affair as
usual only goes to intensity theirs i'm
respect to every feature Of the proceed
ings, and, indeed, 1t may, perhaps, be
safely asserted that the supposed indif-
ference of the whites Is the handspring
that sets Africa's eager desires In motion.
The celebration, not the commemora-
ton, Is Cuffee's object, even as he let's
off the noisy cracker or toots the dis
NAL horn on Christmas Day, for the
sound thereof, and in total ignorance of
what it should call to mind.
The truth Of this searching analy
can easily be tested. Let the 18th Of
June next he set aside by the carpet
baggers " in South Carolina as u day of
Thanksgiving to signalize the event of
the ascension Of Ghengis Kahn To
the throne Of Peru, or let the Sd OF
May be appointed to celebrate the
murder Of the innocent5, or the ex-
pulsion Of Adam and Eve (white)
from the Connecticut Legislature,
and let the facts or such celebra-
ton be duly heralded In the Beaufort
Stnadard, Washington Republican, and
the new red-hot Radical paper soon to
be issued in Columbia, and we will
guarantee that the colored firemen and
Masons, and the Rising Stars OF Glory
and Sisters OF the Yellow Rose OF Caper-
naum and the members OF all other
organizations in Charleston and Colum-
bia, will turn out en- masse in full uni
form, and parade the streets Of the two
cities to the sound OF fife and drum from
early morn till dewy eve.
