SHERMAN CONFESSES.

The testimony Of Mr.. Sherman, when
confronted with the plain, straig htforward
testimony of Anderson, contrasts -pitia-
bly, with the arrogant tone of his letter
to Chairman Potter, and with his inso-
lent declar alton, printed some Gays ago,
that the .Weber-Andcrsun letter was Il
forgery Put upon his oath, and not per-
mittcd to know whether or not the CON-
mittee could or wonld produce the origi-
far been brought out, Mr.. Sherman fell
back on tho hackneyed resort of unwill-
ing witnesses, and "could not remem-
her," but, according to the best of his
knowledge ana belief, did not think, ETC.,
etc. This is not the language ola wit
ness who proposes to swear to tho truth.
1t is, rather, the weak evasiveness of a
man who wants to swear to what is not
true, but dares not do so for fear of being
at once confronted with the evidence Of
his perjury in his own hand writing. Mr..
Sherman will not succeed in convincing
anybody that he "does not rcmenlDer'
whether he wrote such il letter to Ander-
son and Weber. The fate of presiden-
tial election, the political future Of John
Sherman himself, and the destiny of d
party hung upon the effect of that letter,
and to suppose hat as shrewi and crafty
a politician as he would have forgotten
whether he wrote such a INDUSTRIOUS doc
ument or not, is q species of crcdulity
characteristic of fools. Mr.. Sherman has
reached the end of his tether, and his
downfall is at hand. There is no more
escape for him than there was for his
prototype, Tweed, after the publication
of the fraudulent courthouse bills. If
he is wise in his hour of trial he will not
add perjury to his other crimes, for the
evidence is at hand to convict him.

REGISTER, ORGANIZE AND WORK.

The above is the advice of the Plea
yume to the citizens of New Orleans.
We heartily endorse it, and repeat the
contained in the article I'M
der the above heading, and ask our peo-
pie to do likewise,-' Register, Organize
and Vork."
1t is the duty of all good citizens
not only to vote and to vote for wor
thy candidates when the election
comes, but also to take part in
all essential preliminary measures that
relate to political organizations, to State,
parish and ward committees, or that in
any way concern the great and imp.r l.
tant business of selecting the servants
of the people. There is no time to be
lost. Organizations are in process Of
formation which will eventually dictate
the nomination of candidates, and in a
great measure control the final result
1t is very desirable that all citizens and
especially those of the more substantial
class, should participate il these prima-
nv organizations, take earnest interest in
them, and assume share in all that is
done by them. This is manifestly the
only way in which candidates OF the pro
per kind can be secured through the me-
dunn Of nominating conventions. With
this view we take this early opportunity
to call upon citizens to identify them
selves with their ward clubs and espe-
cially to register their names on the rolls,
in order to be duly qualified to vote for
delegates to the arish Nominating Con-
vention.
In our last issue we published all address
from the Hon. S. J. Powell (of the State
Central Committee) calling for the Or
ganization of Clubs. Let them be Or
ganized at once. Our two towns should
make a commencement we have the
nucleus among us for two or three clubs.
We have heard of Il contemplated organ
ization among the working men, and
would be pleased to have them enter our
ranks in strong and solid body. We
especially desire all Democrats and Con-
servatives to he represented, by worthy
and honora ble citizens, and those who re-
fuse to take an active part in the selcc-
ton of candidates will have no good rea-
son to complain of selections made by
others. Those who decline cooperation
with their ncighboriug ward assemblies
in order to secure worthy candidates will
find little consolation in wasting their
votes on independent candidates of their
own selection in November next.

A CHARMING BoOK.-Wc are indebted
to the courtesy of the young authoress,
Miss Julie X. Wethcrill, daughter of MIR.
T. NJ. Wether1ll of Woodvillc, Miss, for a
copy of her charming novel, Wings,'
just issued by the great publishing house
of Lippincott & Co. The book is hand
somely bound, and the story is produced
in fascinating style. We reproduce the
following just comments from the Phila-
delphia Post:
We must, in justice, mention that while
there is no lack ofjuvenile crudity in
Miss Wetherilrs book, it is a we'll con-
constructed story, with local coloring far
more faithful than any Southern writer
has ever depicted, with an Astounding
vein of satirical but not cynical humor
that at times suggests George Eliot, and
with touches of pathos that are of the fin
est traits of true humor. There are in it
technical faults which the fastidio1s and
the mature will easily discover. But the
story, as is illustrative of possible
life in a little village on the shores of the
Gulf of Mexico, is n fascinating one, and
it sparkles all over with flashes of genius.
Miss Wetherill must not be spoiled by
such praise as this, for she has yet to go
through great deal of struggle and dis
cipline before she can deserve to attain
tho goal that her ambition aims at.

THE AMENDMENTS.
TColumbia Herald

During the last two weeks we have had
the opportunity of hearing the public
sentiment of the people of tho parishes of
Caldwell, Winn and Natchitoches, in re-
gard to the Amendments to the Constitu-
ton We talked With merchants, law
yers, farmers and men of other businesses
IN different parts of the above parishes,
and we can be safe in saying that did
not hear one person out of the large host
we talked with on the subject that favor
ed them; but, on the contrary every one
denounced them as a farce and an impo-
sition imposed upon the people to thwart
their will. We can, without hesitating,
safely predict that the people of the above
parishes will go to the polls next fall, and
vote solid against the amendments They
will nominate men for the Legislature, we
feel sure, who will be staunch new con-
stitution men to the backbone, and Will
not leave stone llnturned to do all in
their power to call constitutional con-
vention next year
The men who framed the amendments
Knew that they were wasting the peo-
PIES money and jeopardizing the State,
but still they persisted to force them on
the people, knowing at the time that no.
thing less thar New Constitution
would satisfy the people of louisiana.

manfully; now however, we can report

A letter received yesterday from West
Feliciana states that Lymus Early (col,
ored), and an ex-member of the Packard
Legislature, was shot and killed i'll the
parish named AID on Bayou Sara on Sat
urday night last, when within mile ana
n half of his own house. He was riding
in wagon at the time, and when the let,
ter was written no clue had been fouhu
to the murderer.
The dastardly Misrepresentation con-
TIMED in the foregoing paragraph is ia
ken from the N. o. Democrat of the 9TH
inst. It has for sometime become a sub
!ject of severe comment among our people.
that there seems to be n studied spirit
among our New Oreaus contcm poraries,
or a singular want of proper information,
that leads to an ipvariable perversion of
facts, through which we are placed in a
false light before the country and our
people slandered aud traduccd. The
above is Il hileons lie, manufactured ont
of the whole cloth. 1t could not have
been written in error, for the facts con-
nectcd with The death of Lucius Early
were too patent and indcsputable to admit
of the least doubt. They were strict y
| correct as published in our last issue.
| We hardly think it possible that the
Democrat would give currency to COM
munication of this nature unless derived
rom IL source considered wholly reliable
| by the editor, and the author Of which
he deemed fully responsible for his as
sertions. Our people have a right to en-
quire as to the identity of their malign-
ers and traducers, and in their name we
| call upon the Democrat to disclose the
name of the reckless individual who in
dited the letter from which the above
| was taken.
Our city contemporaries should excr-
else proper caution to prevent being i'm.
posed upon in like manner in the future.
