MORE OF JOHN SHERMAN'S 81
CRETS.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-While Judge
Leonard was still smarting under the
dcsertion Of Packard by Hayes, he told
tho following story:
just before the count in that State,
and while the visiting statesmen were
there, he was in a room in a New Or
leans hotel with John Sherman. Wells
and Anderson were there or at least oie
of them. While there, and in the pres
everything rested with the Returning
Board, and the Returning Board must do
what was right. Then lie impressed
on them the calamity which must fall
upon the negroes, the Southern Repub-
licans, and the country if the Tilden
electors should be returned. AS he
warmed to the subject, tears streame0
FROM Sherman;s eyes. He said elnphati-
cally that i1 all rested with them, and if
they needed any protection, they could
have not only the United States army,
but fifty thousand plilitiameu from Iowa
and Illinois.
Afterwartl, about the time it was de-
tc1n,ined by tho friends of Hayes to de-
sert Packard, Judge Leonard went to
Washington. To John Sherman he ex-
pressed surprise at tho dosertion. Sher-
man remarked that the times were
changed and that it was no longer expe-
dent or possible to uphold the southern
Republicans with the United States
troops. In reply, Leonard reminded
Sherman of what he had said in New Or
leans in regard to the possible employ
ment of the United States troops and
State militiamen to sustain a Republi-
can ~Nutienal Administration, for the
safety of the negroes and the Southern
Republicans. In the course of the con-
versation Leonard said ''Mr. Sherman,
you are an old man and I am young
man, and may be mistaken; but either
what you said in New Orleans was wrong,
or what you say now is wrong.'-Ne,v
York Telegram.

sp Speaking of the State capital mov-
ing, the Boston Post says 1.-the selection
of New Orleans for Louisiana stands in
about the same relation to the conve-
nience and general interosts'o of the State
that the selection of Boston had to Mas
sachusetts,, and 10 one but n visso, ary or
a fool would think ot making any other
city the capital of our Commonwealth :
New Orleans is tho metropolis of the
Southwest and exceptionally well situa-
ted to accommodate public business, and
to make another change row would be to
spend considerable money for change
to the worse"

u The Quincy (Ill.) Herald, writing
about the movement of grain towards,
New Orleans, and thence to Europe, says:
"The cheapness and expedition with
which the crops of the valley can be
moved southwark by river will give that
mode of transportation so great an adj
vantage over the trunk railroads east
that the great bulk Of the grain will be
sent to the New Orleans market. The re-
vival of trade at that port, consequent
upon the settlement of tho politica,
troubles of Louisiana, and the proba bill
ty that peace and good order were to
rule in the future, has been far beyond,
even the most sanguine expectation"

THE CONVICTION OF ANDERSON

A dishonest effort has been made by the
appeas that the conviction Of the forger-
er and purjurer Anderson is part of the
programme which has been concocteu tn
oust Hayes from the Presidency. This
is u vile slander upon the Democratic
party: The conviction of the Louisiana
rcturning-board rascals will not impair
the legal title Of Hayes to the Presiden
question. Hayes has been inauguratod
President, aud will not he disturbed un-
til his four years expire. Anderson was
lightly. septenced, in view of the great
crime he had committed. It will not do
to talk about his conviction originating
in disloyalty and rebel prosecutions, fof
a northern judge, who went with Gene
raj Benjamin f. Butler to New Orleans,
and followed the fortunes of the Union
army, has found General Anderson gull
ty, under the law and the facts, of u
great crilne against honesty and tho
cause of republican government. He
tells the criminal that he was fairly tried
and convicted; upon good and sufficient
evidence, and that punishment is justly
deserved. And yet, with all the mo-
mentous consequences depending upon
the preservation Of the purity Of the bal
lot-box and tho law of elections, there
are those in high position who insist that
Anderson and his associates should be
permitted to escape the penalty of the
law. The sentence of Anderson is lou
lent when measured against the magni-
tIde of the offence committed, for it is y
crime which gathers blackness according
as the consequences multiply or increase,
and Mr.. Anderson's bffeusE, which de-
feated tho expressed wishes and will OF
forty million of freemen, we consider one
of the Llackest possible to the list of for
geries. 1t had political stgniticance;,
and it entailed consequences deeper and
wider than any of a party nature, but
still it could be treated aud punished on
~ as a crime in Louisiana This treat.
ment it has had, and under circumstances
as favorable to justice as are such trials
anywhere, and the sentence should bo OK
ecutcd.--Men.phis appeal.

EAlMET'S DEATH.

"lIe dies to-day,' said the heartlcss judge,
Whilst he safe him down to the feast,
And n smile was npon his ashy lip
AS he uttered a. ribafd jest;
For a demon dwelt whcrc his heart
should be,
That lived upon blood and sin.
And oft as the vile judge gave him food
The demon throbbed within.
''E4c dies to-day" said.the goalcr grim,
Whilst tear was in his eye;
"But. why. ..shoulL 1 feel SO grieved for
him:
Sure. I've seen many die
Last night l went to his stony cell,
With the scauty prison fare
He was sitting at IL table rude,
Plating a lock of hair
And he looked 80 mild, with his pale, pale
face,
And he spoke in so kind q way,
That my old breast lcavcd with a
smothering feeling,
And knew not what to say ~
'.Hc dies to-day" thought fair, sweet
She lacked the life to speak,
For sorrow had almost frozen her blood,
And white were her lip and check
Despair had drank her last wild tear,
And her brow was DAMP and chill,
And they often 1elt at her heart with
fear,
For it's ebb was all but still.

THE PROPOSED DOLLAR.
WHAT DIR. LINDERMAN HAS TO SAY
ABOUT IT.

The three lfnts of the United States,
he said, at Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Carson City ould probably be able
to turn out 100000 in the new coins
during the first month after the passage
of the bill that in the second month the
number OF dollars coined would be in
creased to $2 2,OO0,O 900, while thereafter a
month would probably be reached. Du-
ring the fist year 3O,O0O,O00 of tho new
dollars could be coined. The necessary
amount of gold coinage would be contin-
ued, and the subsidiary silver coins would
be also turned out rapidly as hitherto.
Between $4,000. 900 and $4,000, 900 in sub
sidiary silver coins are still to be produce
ed under the order issued by the Secreta-
ry of tho Treasury during President
Grants administration. Two designs
have already been made for the ninety
two-cent dollar. Both are very pretty
and the few coins that have been struck
in the mints for the benefit Of the
Congressional committees are ex-
ceedingly attractive in appearance.
The diverse of one of the designs, which,
with few attentions, vii probably be
accepted if the Bland bill finally be-
comes a law, has q beautiful head of Lib
erty, firm and expressive profile with
luxuriant hair, Gro ned with the tradi-
tioual cap and coronet, with shafts of
wheat. Above tho head is the motto "E
Plnribus Unum.' Below is tho date,
"1S7s." On the reverse arc an eagle
with uplifted wings, two stars, in q SEMI
circle the words Omitted States of Amer
ica," and beneath, them the pious mot
to, ain God We Trust," while below the
eagle is stamped Gone Dollar The 9th
er design is similar, but less artistic
| The mints. if the Bland bill becomes a
law, will still produce :rade dollars fol

GOV. Bishop and the EnouIrsr.

Chicago Times: About to be Governor
Bishop, of Ohio, is Trustee of the Cincin-
natl Southern Railroad The pay of that
position is $4,000 per annum. The Gov
ernsrship pays but $4,000. Together, as any
schoolboy knows, the sum is $4,000. Now
Bishop, being like most other people in
this world, would like to harvest the lat
ter sum, and has consulted the Judges of
the Supreme Court to ascertain whether,
in their opinion, there is any incompati-
bility viewed from the Law standpoint in
holding both places. The Judges say no,
and Bishop gives surface indication of an
intention to stick. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
which probably has man for any eligible
vacancy, hints to the Governor that is to be
that if he doesn't resign the trusteesLip the
Assembly will rush through n law that
will make him wish he had. When Bish-
op is in the White House the Enquirer will
be sorry for this.

Departments Of Agriculture, show the
enormous yield Of three hundred and sixty
million bushels Of wheat for 80 sor fifty
millions more than ever beiofeSProduced
in the United States. The report slaIA
that there never was greater abundance Il
the land. 1t is estimated that the enof-
nous amount OF one hundred and ten mil
lion bushels Of wheat can be spared for
exportation. And with oil this abundance
the people are complaining Of hard times
In addition to that, good reports received
from all sections in regard to the wheat
which was planted last fall. It promises.

Woman on The American Frontier; A Vah.
able and authentic History Of the Heroisp,
Adventures, Trials, PfiUdions, Cdptvties,
and Noble Liues and Deaths Of the "Nothe 3
OF the Republic" by William W. r. wler.
ln all history there is nothing more
grand than the record Of progress Of civil
ization across the American Continent.
The standard bearers in this progress we're
the pioneer emigants who first penetrated
the wilderness, enduring the hardships Of
frontier life and often performing exploits
OF courage which excite our wonder and
admiration. ,......
Though the share Of women in these
hardships and trials has not been so often
recorded rs that OF man, yet her noble
deeds were as conspicuous ms his her cour.
age was as unfaltering; her patience and
self.denial as unwavering; her exploits
often as adventurous and alike deserving
OF grateful recognition.
She crossed the stormy ocean with the
first colonists who cnme to our shores. She
was at Plymouth aud jamestown, and all
the early European settlements. She bore
a heroic part in the cruel war with the
Aborigines and in the struggle of the Revo-
luton. With the great army Of Emigration
we see her constantly moving westward
through the trackess wilderness, till
glorious chain of happy homes now
reaches to the shores OF the Pacific.
It is the object OF this book to present 10
the reader, ih an attractive and enduring
form, faithful record Of the memorable
lives and work OF the noble pioneer women
OF our country-to rescue from threatened
oblivion vast number OF the most sterling
characters IN American history. Readers

chapters, and woman, especially, will every.

honor OF her sex.

Cause for Generalization,

In his inaugural address, Gov. BISHOP
says: ut is certainly cause for con-
graduation at amicable relations between
the recently distracted portions of our
country seem to be now entirely restored.
The people OF this state can not be indif-
ferent TO whatever will tend to preserve
these relations and promote commercial
intercourse with the Southern States. 1t is
believed that the Cincinnati Southern
Railway, which bids fair to soon be com
pleted, will prove an efficient agent in
both of these respects. 1t should, there
lore, receive your hearty encouragement :;
not because OF the high public spirit
which ii represents, but also for the reason
that it will assist, by bands OF steel, to
unite mere closely the ties of sympathy
which now hold together the North and
the South"
Occupying the high position of Cover
nor of Ohie, why should Mr.. BIsHoP fnil
to give credit where credit is due. SOM.
body must be responsible for these "ami-
cable relations" which "seem to be now
entirely restored" between the North and
tho South. Could he not have mentioned
the name OF HAYES in this connection, with
credit to himself? This was one of the
nobIest traits OF character in Gen. GRANT,
to always give credit where credit was
due.

John sherman's silver Half Dollar.

Clermont Courier: A lady in Batavia
has in her possession the identical half
dollar on which Secretary John Sherman
cut his teeth. The lady in question was
a colored nurse in the Sherman family.
and was wont to retort when John called
her darkey, that "many a dark cloud
had silver lining" Then John would
give ore, and Auntie would rock him to
sleep to the tune of "Roll on Silver Moon"
When John wanted her to stop he would
say, "Silencs is golden" The coin is an
ordinary half dollar, somewhat fattened
out, and looks ms il it might have been
nodded in the ,ver of blacking box,
and got wrecked in csrn-sheller. Auntie
exhibits it with great pride and piece of
blue ribbon.

The public. Works1

The Public Works Of Ohio have been
surrendered by the lessees. They refuse
longer to abide by the lease, for the rea.
son, as they aver, that the State allowed
the citizens Of Hamilton to take from them
the basins at that place, which has greatly
injured their business upon the Miami
canal, and thereby made breach OF the
contract. This promipes to be a knotty
question for solution. The State refuses to
accept them, and the lessoes refuse longer
TO hold them under the lease. When man
aged by the State they were not self.sus-
tanning, and required large appropriation ma
to keep them in repair. This led to leas-
ing them TO individuals for ten years at
time, and under this plan they have been
allowed TO run down and become worthless
II is not probable that the State will again
take charge of them, for the reason that
the larger portion Of the State is not bens-
fitted by them. 1t is believed the State
can not compel the lessees 10 continue in
possession. These Public Works have cost
the State millions Of dollars, and the ques-
tion arises, shall they be abandoned e?
There seems to be but one way TO pre-.
serve these canals and make them useful,
and that is TO lease them, on long. time, to
men living along the line OF the cannls
who feel and will take an interest in keep
ing them MP. From the interest manifest
4 i
is no doubt men to be found who will take
charge Of them under long lease, which
would be sufficient encouragement for them
to go to work and make permanent i'm
provements. But the State should cease
dispo'ing OF fractional parts OF the canals,
a. she has been guilty of doing in the
past.

sumes his law practice in Cincinnati with
never. a dream Of political emolument TO

What happy country and what hap

every one who retires from office would
"eschew politics" with "neyer dream, Of
political emolument." and settle down In
the industrial associations Of life - in
short, follow the noble example Of our
