GEN. SHERIDAN AND THE sEcRETAH
 OF TIE INFERIOR.

GEN. SHERIDAN AND THE SECRETARY
 OF THE INFERIOR. WASHINGTON, November 22.-The secretary of war has received and re- ferrcd to Gen. Sherman, a letter from the secretary of the interior sharply replying to certain statements made by Gen. Sheridan, in the lattcr's an- nual report. Secretary Schurz says these statements, as far as they reflect on the conduct of the Indian service, are sweeping and somewhat vague in their nature, but it must be assum- ed that Gen. Sheridan would not have made them and permitted them to be- come public had he not in his posses sion special information concerning certain agencies, and certain branches of the Indian service, to which these statements may be individually ap piled. He asks specific information on the subject, in view of the fact that certain military officers seem of late to have fallen into the habit of in dulging officially and privately in gen. erGl reflections on the Indian service, without taking the trouble to substan- tiatc them with such statements in de tail as would fairly elucidate the dis covery and correction Of the abuses. He does not deprccate criticism at all and rather invites it, but when it is officially put forth there is a certain fairness due from one branch of the public service to another.
 THAT LETTER.
 WASHINGTON, November 22.-The letter of Secretary Schurz, on Indian affairs, to the secretary of war, reach ed Gen. Sherman after its publica- ton. The document has been for wa-ded to Gen. Sheridan, with the request that he communicate such facts as he may be in possession sus- taining his assertions against the con- duct Of the Indian service.
 GEN. TOWARDS REPORT.
 Gen. Howard, in his annual report, earnestly recommends that the Umi- talla Indians, who served tLe govern ment with fidelity, be rewarded, and that all who assisted the Lostiles be sent to some remote place, whence they cannot easily return.

The City's Freedom.

The freedom of the City of London,
which formed the most important Incl
dent in the grand municipal reception
of Lords Beaconsfield and Salisbury, is
regarded in England as one of the high
est compliments which can be paid a
public man. 1t is conferred by that
part of the British metropolis called
1.-The City," which has its own munich
pal government, and is under the
jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor. The
ceremony is impressive and in accord
with ancient usage. In the first place
the corporation tenders the privilege,
and invites the person ON whom it is to
be conferred to appear before the City
Chamberlain and receive his formal
permission. The future freeman's
name and those of civic officials who
vouch for his wortlliness are next re-
corded in a book reserved for the pur-
pose. The Chamberlain then admin
listers an oath of fidelity and gives the
freeman gold box containing parch-
ment document, vouching for his citi-
zenship. The privileges thus conferred
have ceased to possess practical value,
especially to the public men who are
accorded them. The freeman at once
becomes part of 81 The City, in its cor
poratc capacity, and his children dwell
ing within seven miles of the city share
in the privilege. He may engage in re-
tail trade without paying certain dues,
and if his children become orphans they
may be made wards of the city. Among
the distinguished persons who have
been invested with the civic freedom
were Gen. Butcher, Napoleon Ill. and
the late Sultan Abdul Aziz. Last year
the honor was conferred on cx-Presi-
dent Grant.-N. Y. Tribune.
