Befouling His Own Nest.

Mr.. Senator SHERMAN, in his speech in the
United States Senate on Thursday, said the
result OF the twenty-second joint rule "was
worse than that Of any rule in Mexico" En-
Senator TRUMBULL, of Illinois, in his speech
in Chicago on Saturday last, made the fol-
lowing allusion to the twenty-second joint
rule:
The committee which reported the twen-
ty-second joint rule was appointed in JAN
uary, 1865, and consisted OF Trumbull,
Corners, and Wright on the part OF the
Senate, and Of Stephens, Elihu 3. Wash
burn, Mallory, Henry Winter Davis, and
Cox on the part OF the House. The Joint
rule was considered by unanimous consent,
and agreed to by both houses February g.,
1855; and the electoral votes cast in 1854,
1868, and 1872 were counted in pursuance
OF that 4ule, which was considered in force
without being rcenacted, and without OBJ
lection, except so far as the joint rule was
modified by concurrent resolution offered
by MIR. Edmunds, and adopted in both
houses February, 1869, III regard to the
electoral vote OF the State Of Georgia. Mr.
Edmunds's resolution, which asserted the
power of Congress over the national vote,
and disposed OF that OF Georgia, was voted
for in the Senate by Edmunds, Anthony,
Cameron, Gonkling, Frelinghuysen, Nor
rill OF Maine, Morrill, of Vermont, SHEER
MAN, and most OF the leading men now In
the Senate.
We rather think that If any one has said
that there is not so insidious a man in
Mexico as Senator SHERMAN he would have
been very near the truth.

The christian and the saracen.

IF0r the DlSpatch.1
Messrs. Editors: I have carefully read
the remarks OF Mr.. L. w. Wood IN reply 10
q recent communication / had the honor TO
address you in regard to the interesting
yet complicated subject OF the Eastern ques-
ton.
I see no occasion to retract or modify the
sentiment endeavored then to express
that the contest now confined to diplomacy
was one between Christian civilization on
the one side, and Turkish rule, with it's con-
comitant evils, on the other. Whether have
travelled in Russia or am acquainted with
Russian history is hardly the question IN
debate. The sequel may, perhaps, demon
strate that. But first, in regard to the state
ment of Mr.. Wood, that Russia is actuated
not 80 much by motives OF philanthropy as
those OF conquest, I assume that Mr.. WOOD
has not read recent communication from
the Foreign Office Of St. Petersburgh to
Lord Derby, of the English Foreign Office,
and not yet answered by England, wherein
the idea OF conquest on the part OF Russia
is emphatically, and, to my apprehension,
conclusiyely repudiated.
And next, as regards the respective treat
ment OF Jews under Russian and Mohamme-
dan rule: Does Fir. Wood understand both |!
Can he specify wherein the Jews OF Syria
c..Irc any worse off in condition under the
! rule OF Russia than Of Turkey! Can he
point to such atrocities on the part OF
Russia as has caused thrill OF hor-
ror to pervade the great body OF Christ
endom on account Of the prosecutions
the Christian subjects Of the Sublime
Porte have been compelled to endure
Does his actual observation or fertile fancy
perceive the Jew wounded, beaten, and OPP
pressed without limit and without redress
under the government of Russia? Does he
perceive entire villages devastated, provinces
wasted, and, as pastime for the soldiers, the
forms of infants and children tossed from
bayonet to bayonet to amuse a barbarouS
and unfeeling soldiery? Can Mr.. Wood
perceive in any province OF Russia scores on
scores of Jews hanging from the gibbet
who had never so much as undergone
the forms of trial and conviction. And can
hlr. Wood tell us in what portion OF the
Cars dominions the remark can be made
that has been made by keen and philo-
sophie English observer while travelling in
Turkey" 1tbi solitudinem, pacena -? And
lastly, while do not suppose that what
ever Mr.. Wood or myself may say as re-
CARDS either Turkey or Russia will be seen
by either, can but think it would provoke
smile on the features Of Lord Bea-
consfeld, Mr.. Gladstone, or any other
English statesman, to inform them that the
only interest England has in this question is
what might perhaps arise from the future
division Of Turkish territory. To an Eng
disappearing and reading people I hardly
think that assumption worthy Of denial.
What, Messrs. Editors, believe on this
point is, Russia demands justice for the
Christians, leaving minor matters to be set
tied as they arise. I can only say for my
own part l hope she may be successful.

Silver q LegaI-Tender.

We are glad to see that the. New York
Chamber Of Commerce has expressed itself
in favor oisilver as legal-tender. The ex-
pedient Of demonetizing silver was unwise
and impractical. 1t isaprecious metal, and
may be regarded as solid foundation for
circulation. Excluding it diminishes the
basis Of the paper medium, and that only
increases the scarcity OF the means for com-
merce and enterprise. Silver is an excel
lent thing for the people. nmay be carried
about the person in sufficient quantities for
change. 1t is great Improvement upon
the greasy and vulgar shinplasters that are
worn and ruined by handling, to the loss OF
the people. The decentralization of silver
cripples 1t, and It's restoration to credit will
be a popular measure. 1t will do much
public good and hurt no interest that ought
to be cherished. y. .s.;..s. .@ &.

General Grant.

GATH !" is no doubt right. President
GRANT has an inyincible prejudice against
rebels -; but he has a stronger one against
northern Democrats who he has declared
In his official message are " worse than
rebels" His mind has been BIASED
by lending willing ear to negroes and car
pet-baggers from the South, and, worse still,
the traitors 20 their friends and compatriots
at the South, who seek to make soft places
for themselves by maligning their brethren.
These people have poisoned his mind, and
the bad stimulants and the bad leaders Of
northern Radicalism have given activity to
his preiudices. GATH is right in saying.
- the country will do well to let him retire;

The Clifton Forge Improvement.

The Senate bill authorizing the employ
ment OF the convicts of the penitentiary on
the railroad from Buchanan to Clifton
Forge is now before the House. 1t is bill
Of decided Importance, and should receive
the prompt attention OF the House. We see
by practical results the pressure Of Transport
tation from the West, and Virginia will grow
in population and wealth just as she gives
facility to the movement Of this immense
commerce. This improvement OF the James
river line OF transportation will strike the
Ohio and Chesapeake railroad just beyond
the sharp grades east Of the Allegheny
mountains, and there giveTaciIity to great
amount OF transportation which the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad can bring thus far
and no farther. That alone is motive enough
to induce the building Of the road from
Buchanan to Clifton Forge.
But there is the added and still greater
motive: the opening and working of the rich
James-river mines of iron and other metals.
The working OF these mines, and the con-
verting of their ores into money, will add
to the wealth of the community. 1t is vital
to Virginia that in her embarrassed condition
she should increase her sources Of revenue,
and this work will add to them.
The convicts in the penitentiary are OPP
pressed and suffering from overcrowding.
It is matter Of humanity to relieve them,
and in no way can they do more for Vir-
ginia, and more in the way OF penance, than
by working on the public ways. The peai-
Tertiary, we fear, has done little in the way
of reformation and the conyicts would do
for the public good by working
upon this road, and that would be some
to the community for their
The bill is eminently worthy OF legislative
approval. 1t is good for the State that it
should Dass

Hypocrisy.


Senator JOHN SHERMAN SAID in the United
States Senate Thursday that he desired 10
discuss the questions about counting the
presidential vote 'scainly and dispassion-
ately.,, We doubt the fact. Senator SHEER
MAN, we believe, desires no such thing, or
he could be sincere patriot, which he Is
not. He is only bitter and insincere par
tisan. It ia impossible for him to be" dis
passionate" which means free from prelu-
dice and malice. In his speech he phara-
saicsIly felicitated himself that the Repuoil-
cans were !" quiet, calm, and serene" NOT
one OF which they are; for those VINO 'ue
not ashamed Of the wrongs comnlttea IN
the name OF repubhcanism and the usurpa-
tiops OF the ruthless Republican President,
but re bitter and angry, as are oil animals
bent on outrage.
The hypocritical Senator faunt'hgy
charged that the Democrats in ms own
State rad appealed to "popuar preludlce'
and he begged the press to "make no
threats or menaces." Pious man! Inc party
he leads feeds unpopular preiudices against
the subjusated people he is ever seeking 10
wrong: and he owes his seat to the same
nreiudices, to that bigotry which Is the
Itch, OF his mind. Does he not know that
the Republican Executive is monumental
threat and menace? and that every measure
of President GRANT and his legal adviser
and his ruthless Cabinet looks to the para
living of law and usage, and the prolonsa-
ton OF Radical rule by violence? Threat,
indeed. General GRANT holds that the
great majority OF the people OF the Oniteu
States arc worse than rebels. He Is con-
centrating forces and ammunition at points
convenient for his use according 10 MS
views of his duty; and that, rs plainly rs
the sun ct MONDAY, must be in antagonlSn
to the people he thinks are subjugated, ana
TO those he thinks are worse than those VINO
are sn5iusatcd. And these constitute vast
majority of the people Of the United States
They are protected by the laws and the Con-
stjtution: but to get at them the Federa
Executive has no scruple in overriding
Constitution and law. And this Executive
is the representative of the Repntt'cdn
Dnrtu. and has so declared himself in his
official annual message to the Congress OF
the United States!
Threat, indeed! Senator SHERMAN so con-
strucs the public ccnsure OF the Republican
usurpations. He appealed to the public to
make no such "threats" that is to sub
nit quietly to tyranny-to the substitution
OF force for Constitution and law. mar
vellous proper senator and defender OF the
oplc! lie will approve anything, 10
matter how violent, that will prolong the
rule Of his party.
