Sherman's Guilt.

The Philadelphia Times (Republi-
can has very fair resume of the
evidence going to show that Sherman
wrote the famous letter, and con-
doned perjury and forgery, from
which we take the following ex-
tract:
ut is scarcely necessary to point
out that we are still without Mr.. Sher-
mans denial of the authenticity of the
famous letter. When brought to book
he was unwilling to say that be did
not write it,. HIS own denial would
be Of greater value than that Of Mrs.
jerks. Why is she SO much more
positive than he is as to his innocence
of the crime of condoning forgery and
perjury 7 Under the circumstances
the verdict of guilty already entered
against him by the country must re-
main. 1t is proved that Anderson and
Weber declined to go on with their
crime with0at guarantee OF protec-
Cton ouu PiOlCAiuCut, tHdt uiiOy hShcu
that guarantee Of Mr.. Sherman, and
that Mrs. jerks presented the demand
knowing the nature Of it; and TINT
they received such a guarantee as M
duced them to keep quiet. 1t ia
proved that Louisiana politicians gem
orally believed in the existence Of that
document, and regarded Anderson, to
whom it was supposed to have been
given, as the holder Of u claim npon
the Administration which could not
be sighted. Anderson prn,lnees Is
copy of that document, which snstaii,s
common fame as to it's nature. aud the
alleged writer declines tn say that it
is not genuine. This is ia strong u
case as eonld he made ont without the
production of the original. 1t is a
case that covers John Sherman with
dishonor and involves the Administra-
ton, of which he is Il member in dis
grace. Such pert gabble as that to
which Mrs. jerks has treated the
Potter Committee serves only to make
the desperate straits of the accused
more contemptibly apparent"

STILL FOR NO CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION.

Some or our exchanges are stlll
harpipg on the subject of Consti'
tutional Convention, and are rehash-
ing their stale arguments which we
met and we think satisfactorily an,
swered last Summer, and which
ought to have been settled by the al
most unanimous action of our mem
bers of the Legislature last Winter
They, doubtless, hope by their per
sistency to tire out and by their fury
to bulldoze the opponents Of that
measure. 1t is more to show that
we are neither to be conquered by
their perseverance nor frightened by
their bulIdozing, that we write this.
The objections to holding Conven.
ton at this time to frame new Con
stitution are so many and so weighty
that we have from the first and shall
as long as it is an open question, op,
pose it, the advocacy of the irrecon-
ciliables to the contrary notwith.
standing. We gather from their ut
terances that they propose to 60 to
the Baton Rouge Convention in Au-
gust determined to force an issue
upon this point, regardless of the
harmony of the party, and reckless
of the good of the State, except from
their stand point. We have no
doubts as to the result and we pre-
dict utter defeat to the disorgani-
zers. The assembled wisdom and
patriotism of the State, will un.
doubtedly endorse the action of the
Legislature and recommend the pas
sage of the Amendments. If the
parties who have spent so much I'm
reasoning fury upon the Amend
ments would calmly investigate the
changes they propose to make and
the abuses they are intended to cor
rect, as we have been doing for some
weeks, and will continue to do until
we shall have discussed them all,
they will find that nearly all they
demand has been done in much
more simple and decidedly cheaper
way than the holding of a Constitu-
tional Convention. The time will
come in few years when there will
be no opposition to the holding OF
such Convention, and when it can
calmly and quietly do the work ex
pected Of it, unhampered by the
many serious obstacles that present
themselves at this time. That time
is not now and we can neither afford
the expense nor take the risk OF
holding the Convention for political
purposes only. The proposition is
not founded on solid desire to sub.
serve the best interests of the State,
and while we do not accuse the ad.
voaates of the measure of any un.
worthy motives, we think that they
allow themselves to be carried away
by their earnestness, and they fail
to look to both sides of the question
We have all along taken pains tc
know if our position was in accord
with the opinions of the people O
this Parish and we are sure that W.
reflect their sentiments. AS the is
sue is to be forced at Baton Rouge
we hope that care will be taken al
our Mass Meeting on the Goth inst
to send delegates who will vote fol
the Amendments, and we expect tc
see the outspoken expression of opin
ion on this subject by the Mass
Meeting itself.
