impossible to be True.

Mrs. jerks IL the devoted friend OF MIR.
Secretary SHERMAN OF this there can be
no doubt. She has given abundant proof of
IT, She has come forward and told n most
improbable story, the only purpose OF which
IN to shield him. She has riskcd her reputa-
ton to say the least, In his behalf.
Now one single common sense reflection
on the case will show that her statement on
the witness stand cannot possibly be true.
Mr.. SHERMAN declares openly that the
reason he did not more positively deny the
authorship OF the letter to WEBER and AN
dERsoN was because he did not know but
the original letter and Photographic
eopy might be produced Now, Mrs
jerks was In Washington in the in
terest OF Mr.. SHERMAN. II her story had
been true, would she not have gone i'm
mediately to him and have relieved his
anxiety with the assurance that sho wrote
the letter herself-or dictated it-and he
need not worry about II D.?
That Is what she inevitably would have
done II her story were true.
Tho fact that she did not go to him and
give him this information shows that she
had no such Information to give; that the
truth Is not 90; that her whole story Is one
tissue of falsehood manufactured for the
occasion.
Some OF our contemporaries regard Mrs
jerks az a lioness; but, unfortunately for
her, truth is stronger than lion or a
honess-a fact she might have known II she
had not been such stranger TO the truth.

The colored race In America continues to
increase and multiply. but II also continues to
die more rapidly than II ought A medical
man OF Nashville has prepared n table OF mortu-
airy statistics showing the relative death rates
among the white and coored inhabitants Of the
principal Southern cities. and from these
figures II appears that the mortality among the
blacks Is about seventy-hvc per cent greater
than among the whites. In Memphis the death
rate among the whites is 1906 per thousand
while the colored brethren crowd the golden
stairs at the rate OF 40.06 per thousand every
year. In Mobile the white population con-
tributes TO tho prosperity OF the under
takers 1915 bodies year out OF every
thousand while the negroes celebrate
with funereal pomp the burial Of 23.17 per
thousand. In Richmond the rate is 1890 for
the whites and 2sl3 for the blacks. while in
New Orleans II is 25.45 for the former and &c.,
for the latter. The greatest mortality among
tho whites il reached in Charleston. where the
rate is 27.2l per thousand. while the District Of
Columbia furnishes the largest death roll for
the blacks. viz. AGO per thousand. II is n Gu
rious fact that Mobile. within forty miles Of the
Gulf Of Mexico. appears TO be the healthiest OF
Southern cities for the whites and next to the
healthiest for the blacks Selma alone showing
a lower death rate among its colored people.

There are Republicans In the country"
says Harpers Weekly, whose position is
quite as repugnant TO many Republicans as
TO Democrats, and IL IL were believed that
Republican success meant the control Of the
party by such men, that success would be
seriously imperilled. Gen. BUTLER is one Of
that class"
II our contemporary has any good
grounds for its early and earnest opposition
TO Gen. BUTLER, they should be plainly set
forth without delay. II Is quite safe TO say
that large, jealous. and powerful minority
OF the Republican party are in favor OF Gen
BUTLER for the next President OF the United
States. They may force his nomination
There may be- other men in the Republican
party who have less positive enc
miles, We doubt whether there is
any ore man who has more positive
friends. Indeed that is the characteristic Of
Mr.. BUTLER's friends-thcy are positive
They are active. energetic and enthusiastic.
What man is there in the country who can
draw together larger audience to-day to
listen TO political speech than Gen
BUTLERl
Some persons have personal dislike Of
Mr.. BUTLER-it may be mere prejudice
against him. We should like TO hear what
there is substantial to be said In derogation
of his fitness; and the sooner the better, for
1t begins to look as though, II BUTLER is not
the Republican candidate, GRANT will be.
Would Harper's Weekly prefer GRANT TO
BuTLER-or would it prefer Democrat to
either OF them? Lot us hear more particu-
larly from our illustrated contemporary on
this interesting point.
