SHERMAN SEES HIS TITLE CLEAR:
WASHINGTON, December 9S.-Secretary
Sherman being asked to-day how he felt
four days from resumption, replied that he
felt excellentlysyell.; From, ,advices which
lie had, lie was led 10 believe That there
would be comparatively little demand for
gold when the vaults OF the sub-Treasury
were practically thrown open to the,pub-
lie in New York. Referring to a statement
recently published thata combination had
been formed in Wall street to bull the
price Of gold in January, and thus attempt
to defeat resumption, the Secretary said
that he did not believe that any, suehicon,.
bination had been formed; ;tliatifithad
he had not heard oft, save through newspa-
per reports, and even though such was the
fact, he could not see how it could success
fully hamper the Treasury in It's resump-
tion plan, In fact. he did not fear such
combinations. W. S'EA|CN-a
Referring to recent purchases OF silver
bullion by the Treasury he said that the
prices paid were kept secret, for publica-
tion would be unfair to those making
bids. He said, however, that the prices OF
the last purchase were the lowest yet
reached. Among treasury officials gener-
ally the opinion prevails that silver will
fall even lower than present rates.
SHERIDAN REPLIES.
General Sherman has received q dispatch
from General Sheridan stating that he had
mailed a reply TO Secretary Schurz with
regard to the specifications called for BY
that officer in support OF the charges OF
mismanagement Of Indian affairs in the
West.
LOUISIANA POLITICIANS WEAKENING.
In connection with the Potter sub.com-
mitee TO New Orleans, one OF the commit

Of fellows in Louisiana who wished to take
back what they had sworn upon previous
occasions, and the subcommittee was 60
ing there toaiford them last opportunity.
