THE way that John Sherman wnggles is
sufficient evidence that the Potter committee
has hooked him. The letter that Anderson
produced completely knocked the wind out
of Sherman. 1t was something the poor,
guilty, trembling conspirator did not antici-
pate; and, fearing the existence Of the orig
lnaI letter, he swore cautiously; in fact, he
swore just so as to confess the authorship of
the letter, and there are not dozen sane
men in the country who doubt it But, as
if 10 convince the people beyond POSSIBLE
ity of a doubt that he wrote the letter to
Anderson, John Sherman puts him.

MRS. jerks was Creole, member of a
heightened southern family. The rich
southern blood, her dropping eyelids, ac-
cent and manners all indicated that she
was a charming child of that southern
sky" 1t now turns out she came from a
harder cline, and was but a transplanted
flower that took root in "the land of the
cypress and myrtle" Such flowers are not
indigenous in that clime-nor do they often
succeed in escaping their just fate. Her
history is not published fully, but we learn
from the testimony that for a while she took
root in the treasury department at Wash
ington City before being transplantsd to

COUNTY TAXATION.

The democratic convention of 1876 passed
a resolution in favor of the enactment of a
law limiting taxation IN this city to one dol
lar on the hundred of taxables. The radical
members of our city government opposed
the principle embodied in this resolution,
and did all they could to convince the peo-
pie that it would be impossible to run the
city government on the revenue that such a
rate of taxation would produce. But the
people were suffering from business prostra-
ton, and were in no mood to pay high taxes;
so they plainly indicated to the republican
candidates that they must publicly lndorse
the democratic principle OF low taxes
or stay at home. Although it
was like drawing eye teeth, they
gave the pledge required and were elected.
A portion of the elegation-notsbly Mr..
Harris of the senate-carried out in good
faith the pledge he made, and which secured
his election, but there was at least one of the
delegates to the house who threw every pos
sible impedlment in the way to prevent the
passage of the law. But Notwithstanding
his great opposition and the lukewlrm sup
port given it by his associates in the past,
the bill became law. Its passage cut down
the peoples taxes many thousands of dol
lars, and for this they are indebted to the
democratic convention of 1876.
Some months ago the Sentinel COM
menced the agitation of the question of
lowering taxation in Marion county. 1t ex-
pressed the opinion that thirty cents on the
hundred dollars would produce ample means
to run the county government upon an
economical basis. Knowing that the radical

stolen. 1t is believed it was taken from
the platform before the carrier had
time to transfer it to the mail wagon.
Yesterday morning the bag was found
by Officer Matt Scott, in Mayield's
lumber yard, on Elm street. 1t was
cut open and ritied of its contents.
Letters and mail matter Of every de.
scription lay scattered around loose on
the ground. How much money the
thieves got Ia not known. Who IL to
