GENERAL SHERMAN.

General w. T. Sherman does not seem to
be affected by the disgrace of his brother
John. Instead of hanging his head in shame
at the recent exposures which tarnIsh the
name he bears, he is making speeches with
the imperiousness of a sceptered king. In his
speech at the dinner of the alumni of West
Point, he made a complimentary reference to
President Hayes, and followed it up by a re-
mark to the effect that though the President
is mild-looking man, he would show the
necessary frmpess if any attempt were made
to drive him from his present potion, and
that the army would stand by him. The
army does not belong to General Sherman.
but to the country, and this is impudent talk
to come from a man whose brotheris charged
with fraud. As a Republican cotemporary
suggests, General Sherman seems to forget
that I'VE claim our own Presidents are
elected by a majority of votes and not by
n plurality of bayonets. The tenor of such
a speech was neither polite nor concilia-
tory. Twenty-Five thousand soldiers ought
not thus to be brought in antagonism with
free suffrage" Il must not be assumed,
however, that Sherman speaks for the army.
If he did it is time the army was abolished.
The army, however, is as conservative as
possible, and its real spokesman are men like
General Hancock, who, instructed and ca
pable as they are brilliant and brave, under
stand and appreciate the proper subordna-
ton of the military to the civil arm. 1t is
a ways to be presumed that the army will be
ready to obey the regularly constituted au-

what a Louisville Medical Weekly
says OF the Cincinnati Outrage.

The Louisville Medical NeIos is the first
medical journal to speak of the Cincinnati
horror. The Net0s's opinion is expressed as
follows: In the third number of this journal
January, 1875 we took occasion to review
the subject of anatomical material and in
the course of our remarks made use of the
following language: stop this dealing with
irresponsible parties. If the school cannot
afford to employ proper agent. who under
responsible direction will see that only proper
material is obtained, the sooner 1t goes to the
wall the better Such scenes as those which
occurred in a northwestern city month or
so ago are disgraceful, not only from the
heartlessness but the idiocy shown. Any at
tempt to obtain supply outside of the friend
less is crime against humanity and against
the interest of education. For the argument is
plain, the only injury which can be done by dis
section is to the feelings of surviving friends.
If there be none such. no injury is inflicted,
and exposure can excite no personal feelings
against the profession. The law tacitly ac
knowledges the necessity of dissections,
though Legislatures are slow to grant anatomy
acts. The law is quite ready to wink at the
matter, but common sense demands that it
should be soberly, decently and secretly car
ried out" We have printed again the above
extract from the editorial in question as
apropos to the recent occurrence which took
place in Ohio. Certainly we have no desire
college has been guilty of great social out
rage. For this we leave it to the newspaper
press, which has so Thoroughly and justly
scored 1t for its offense. 1t has also perpe-
trated a great crime against the interests of
medical education, for which it becomes our
duty to condemn it. We declare that the
violation of Harrison's grave was something
that could not have occurred had the proper
men been in charge of the dissecting- room of
the college; and it behooves the faculty to
move in the matter, and discharge them from
positions which they have disgraced-if not

A MYSTERY.
The Discovery of n Coffin In the River
Flowers and Relics Found I'm
the Casket.

st. Louis Republican, 18th: Itappears just
now quite probable that st. Louis may have
some such excitement over the work of resur-
rectionists as lately occurred in Cine matt,
all because the Mississippi refused to keep a
secret confded to it. Some boys occupied on
the river bank a short distance below the
mouth o. the Des Peres Sunday afternoon
the nature of which could not be guessed at.
1t hoated high and dry like boat, but IN its
outlines had more the look of highly
finished box or packing case. Curiosity was
aroused at once and boat secured to chase
and capture the object, feat accomplished
easily enough after brief but vigorous row.
AS the boys drew near the float
ing thing they received a surprise. 1t
was not an ordinary box they were chasing,
but a coffin. The cover of the coffin was
gone, but there was something to be seen
still in its interior, and the receptacle for the
dead was towed to shore and there examined
at leisure. The coffin proved to be neat at
fair of imitation rosewood, FIVE feet zine
inches in length, and in perfect condition.
The case had been lined with tin and her.
medically sealed, and all was still In good
shape, save that the cover had been taken off,
as already stated. In the middle of the cas-
ket was wreath of cedar, and a wreath of
flowers entirely around. The flowers
were still fresh and green as late as yester-
uay, anu cOulu nave Oeen pIaceu IN the comm
but a day or two ago. The flowers, how
ever, were not the only articles in the coffin
nor those of most interest. Lying in the
casket was carefuily-tied knot of gray hair,
and there was also found gold ring wrapped
in a copy of the Republican of 1858. Upon
the ring appeared the initials, ''T. De d.,
June l, 1858. There was found likewise in the
casket switch of dark brown hair, wrapped
in a copy of New Orleans newspaper Of
the year 1865. News of the strange discov-
cry soon reached Carondeet. and aroused, of
course, deep interest. Yesterday Captain
O'Neil, CT the fourth district, visited the
scene of the discovery and made an investi-
cation, which did not result in throwing any
further hight on the subject than appeared
from the facts given above. Where the cof-
fin came from or who was its occupant, re-
mains a mystery to which no explanation has
yet been secured. The most plausible theory
advanced regarding the presence of the coffin
In the river was that a grave had been desc
Grated, and that the body-snatche taking
the coffin with the body at first and finding il
an incBmbrance, had subsequently thrown il
into the river. The relics In the coffin had
passed unnoticed, and the coffin had by acct
dent hoated top uppermost with the relics
undisturbed. Something may yet occur te

METALLIC CURRENCY.
Importance Of the Forthcoming Inter-
national Conference.
DIspatch to the New York Graphic. I


WASHINGTON, June 11.-Oficial and semi
official information received here indicates
that the vast Importance of the forthcoming
international money congress is becoming I'M
derstood In countries far beyond the limits to
which the act of congress formally confines
the invitations. Not only are the South
American States and Mexico interested IN the
matter, but Chinese and Japanese statesmen
have made known that they regarded the ap-
preaching congress with an intelligent inter-
est, and regretted that their countries were
not to be invited to take part in its delibera-
tions. They are. indeed, deeply interested,
as is also British India. These countries
have been for centuries the great consumers
of silver coin. The immense production of
the Mexican and South American mines,
as we'll as that of the other silver-yielding
countries, has been unable to glut the
Unsuitable demand of the east, and silver
coin has flowed into Asia as steadily as the
Gulf of Mexico. England has direct
and vital interest, In view of her position as
an Asiatic power, in this question of the
formal and universal determination of the
relative value Of gold and silver, and so has
Russia. Now, Russia has already accepted
the invitation to send a representative to the
congress, but England and Germany have
not It's believed that they both will soon
see the ACCESSIBILITY of joining the congress,
and there are indications that, when the con-
gress meets, it will be found to comprise
representatives from every European nation.
The governments of France, Italy, Russia,
Hungary, Holland, Greece and Switzerland
have accepted the invitations. When the
congress assemblies it can, and very probably
will, invite the representatives of the Eastern
nations and of South America to participate
in their deliberations. They all have repre-
sentatives now in Paris, and no formal mat
ter of etiquette need stand in the way of their
accepting this invitation. Then we should see,
for the first time, truly international con-
gress, representing every civilized country In
the world, and assembled for the purpose of
establishing a uniform standard of value
throughout the world; purpose which, if
accomplished, would be followed by inesti-
mable and perpetual benefits to humanity.
In an interview, to-day, Secretary Evarts ex-
pressed great satisfaction that the invitation
of the United States to the European nations
for an international monetary conference had
been so generally accepted. Acceptance is
expected from Austria and Belgium. The
English cabinet is divided as to what that
country should do, but Secretary Evarts ex-
poets that they will decide favorably before
long. The acceptances from France and Italy
came by telegraph within an hour of each
other. Secretary Evarts says that it is not
true, as published, that the silver congress
will hold its session at Berne. No place has
been decided upon, but the probabilities are

thorities, and we have no doubt that it would
10 so if they were attacked by any revolu-
tionary body, but hitherto the very thought
OF military interference in political affairs In
this country has been absent from the minds
of the great body OF our people. 1t would be
in exceedingly bad taste for President to be
threatening that be would IN this or that
event use the army for maintaining himself
against his opponents, even if they were
threatening him with revolutionary acts. The
dignifed course would be, in that event, to
really get ready, and, when the time came,
act. But 10 have soldier in command of
the army going about the country
putting his own Interpretation upon
what political movements are revolu-
hoDary and what are not, and assuming to
look behind the acts of men to their motives,
and threatening that, if this or thu is done,
that the army will suppress it, is as thorough
an exhibition of Mechanism as has been seen
this side of the Rio Grande. We are glad to
hear that army officers generally are annoyed
at the course General Sherman is pursuing in
this matter, and well they may be. Hitherto
there has been no partisan division among
the people of this country as to the admira-
ton and respect they had for their generals
and soldiers. Grant was just as popular
while he was a Democrat as he was after he
became Republican, and that party's candi-
date for the Presidency at one and the same
time. Hancock is known to be Democrat
because that party has talked of him as a
Presidential candidate, but otherwise major
ity of people would not know his politics. We
do not believe one in a hundred can tell to-day
what were the politics of that brave and noble
officer whom the whole nation mourned,
General George b. Thomas. In fact, all the
traditions of the regular army officers
have been against their becoming active poll
ticians, and the people have felt that it was
best that it should be so. Yet here is the
commander-in-chief of the army who pub
licly appeals to one portion of his country
men to keep alive the military spirit among
them because they may need it to prepare
them to fight another portion, and next in a
public speech to army officers implies that
there is some truth in a partisan pretense
that revolution is contemplated by more
than one-half of one house of congress, and
threatens what the army will do. 1t is dis
gushing and indecent, and if General Sher-
man has any friends they will advise him
with much earnestness to hold his tongue.
He is doing more to create political preju-
dice against the army than all the other men
In the country combined.

"CONFEDERATE BRIGADIERs.,

With the approach of every congressional
election, the Confederate Brigadiers" in

and made to perform extra duty In the can

gress'are the Confederate Brigadiers" and
the rebel soldiers who have been'elected to
the senate and house of representatives. On
the passage of the Potter investigating reso-
luton the country was told that the "Con-
federate Brigadiers" were about to Mexican
ize the government and precipitate the coun-
try into revolution. But the vote and utter
ances showed that the rebel element in con-
gress was determined that the Presidential
title should not be sreopened. But as the
congressional elections come off in
November next, the Republican news
papers of the north have COM
menced the old war on the Confederate

the government. OF course every intelligent
person knows that all that kind of talk is
nothing more than the thinnest kind of po-
ltical clap-trap, and Is only slight change
of tune on the stale "bloody-shirt" hand
organ; but we want to remind those nervous
Republican patriot organ grinders that it is
very unkind to be thus continually accusing
their own offspring. If those pious editors
would refer to their files of few years ago,
they will discover that it was the action of a
Republican congress that made the "Confed-
crate Brigadiers" eligible to the offices which
they now hold. The Republican party wished,
with unseemly haste, to pardon every one of
these men, expecting, of course, that in re-
turn for so generous an act the "Confed-
crates would all vots the Republican ticket
straight. In the eyes of those trained
''bloody-shirt" howlers, it is the kind of a
ticket he votes that makes good or a bad
