THE PRESIDENTS ORDER.

Vie,os Of Senator EdmuPds Concerning il.
The following telegram comes from
Boston,
"Au interview with Senator Edmunds,
of Vermont, on the Presidents order to
oficeholders and the feeling Of Vermont
Republicans thereon will be published
here in the morning. The Senator says:
II have not seen one Vermont Repub>
lican who does not think the order a
mistake, and while il is founded on cor
rect notions, it Is not advantageous to
the public interests.' He did not see
why a man who was able to fill an office,
and had worked hard to get the place,
should be iebarred from having any
thing to say about his party, or taxing
further action in support OF it. There Is
no more reason, he said, that he should
cease to talk about currency than that
Mr.. Sherman should. II Mr.. Sherman
talks about the policy Of the Govern
ment, remonetizing silver resumption,
ETC., in Ohio, why not petty Postmas~
ter, in the midst of our Green Nouns
tains, about the plans OF his ofhA, his
desire to accommodate the public, and
his attempts for the improvement OF
mail facilities? This order, he contin-
ued, will simply destroy, for the time
being, any practical work in the RepuO>
lican party Mr.. Edmunds thought
that the many aouses in the party could
be corrected without striking at the
foundation of the party machinery. In
New Yolk city, he said, the great body
of the Republicans has worked hard TO
get this system. TRus, the men in Office
mad to do this work and pay the bills
There are men tnere. ne said, who
would not come out and vote unless sent
after with a four-horse barouche. There
are men VINO find fault with the admin
istratlon on account of its gold policy,
or its Indian policy, and nearly every
thing that it does. Det the policy be
changed or not, they are never suited.
They never did work for the success of
the patty; they never will. l have al
ways been in favor of civil service re-
FORM" Senator Edmunds further said,
especially during the last four years,
and | always expect to bs, but don't
see how this order is going to assist it.
When Congress meets Senator Edmunds
thinks there Will be trouble, but not
from this order of the President, nor
from his so>called Southern policy. The
difficulty will be about weightier sub
jrcIs-the reconciliation of silver, re
sumption, the tariff, and questions which
will cause discussion. L think he add
ed, that the President will allow us the
liberty of opinion which he seems de-
slrous the ottice-holders should not
have.

THOSE .'SrARS' AND OMlS
SlONS.

The virapo of last week admits it bore
false witness regarding our publication OF
Gen. Miles report. 1t says it hunted oil
over town to find a copy of the CoUR1E
but couldn't find one. If it wasn't sure
of the truth of its statement why did It
make il? As to Its corrections and
"Justice''-if so just and correct why
hash t it been manly enough to give our
side as well as the Tyler Hoffman side OF
the controversy? Its course having been
d:sgraceful. and its statements manifes'ly
and vilfuIly false, its one "correction'
condemns it on every point concerned.
Before it read US further lessons upon
what it calls Journalism" it hao best
learn little decency and some respect for
the rights of the true journalism it has in
this case seen fit to gnore,in order to graf
fly its personal spleen.

THE SITUATION.

The Pioneer Press of tle 10th ulto.
says:
Important Military movements are evi-
IDENTITY IL contemplation, but their specia
nature cannot now be foretold. A dis
patch was received BY the Pioneer Press
from { chicago yesterday announcing thai
General Sheridan, commanding the Divis
on of the Missouri, would in a few DAYS
make tour Of inspection of the army in
the two departments comprised in his
division. 1t is also reported in Chicago
that several important changes arc likely
to occur, but what disposition of officers
and troops is to be made is of course not
yet known. General Sheridan will be
joined by Gen. Sherman in the Yellow
stone country, where an important con-
ference Is to be held.
The foregoing facts derived from a
Chicago source can be supplemented by a
little further i, formation picked up in st.
Paul. Gen. Sheridan will make a tour of
inspection among the posts in the depart
mept of the Platte, going out on the
Union Pacific railroad, and after taking in
the forts and stations among the Wind
river and Big Horn mountains, will reach
the lower Yellowstone post about the Goth
