Messrs. D. A. Weber and JAS. j. anderson:

follows;
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20, 1876.
Messrs. d. A Weber and Jas. E. Anderson:
CEsTIEMEN-Your note of even date has
lust been received. Neither Mr.. HAYES. my
self, the gentlemen who accompany me, or
the country at large can ever forget the obli-
cations under which you have placed us.
Should you stand firm in the position you
have taken, from a long and intimate ac-
quaintance with Governor Hayes, am justi-
promises made, and will guarantee that you
will be provided for as soon after the fourth of
March as may be practicable, and in such a
manner as will enable you both TO leave Lou
isiana should you deem it necessary.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) JOHN SHERMAN.
He was asked if he had written such let
ter. Can any sane man believe that if he
had written it he would not have remem-
bered it? Can any sane man believe if he
had not written it he would not know?
What did he say Practically this: If you
have the original in my handwriting wrote
it; if you haven't ii, didn't write it, In
other words, if you can prove it won't deny
it; if you can't prove it'll will repudiate it.
sn't this spectacle for the American peo-
pie? Here we have one of the Purest saints
in this party of moral progress afraid either
to boldly own his production or to deny it.
If he fathers it he is disgraced-a confessed
cOrrupter, convicted criminal. If he de-
MES it he is confronted with the fear of hav-
ing the original produced, and then he
would be branded as a perjurer. 1t is bat
natural that in long political career many
things of small moment are forgotten, but
in a case of such vast importance as the
counting in of president by fraud it is
not reasonable to believe that any of the
prominent actors in it would or could forget
any of even the minuest details of their
conduct. Self interest corrupt purposes,
personal ambition for place and power,
would indelioly impress upon their memory
everything they did in the successful accom-
plishment of their fraud. Human
nature is human nature the
world over Mr.. Sherman can not
convince the American people that his mem
DRY is at fault concerning this letter. He
knows whether or not be wrote it.
He admits that he might have written it.
This admission, coming from Sherman, has
the same force as a candid, direct confession
of an honest man.

REPUBLICANS say business is very much
disturbed by the Potter investigation We
can't see it Pork has raised more than
dollar a barrel since the investigation began,
while sherman stock has gone down full two
hundred per cent. But fortunately for the
people out west, very few have any interest
in the latter.

that of amazement at his stupidity, if moth

establishes the fact that he was in possession

exculpates himself the senate will be in
duty bound to expel him.

ArOx HUNTING PARSGN:

Mr.. Radford, in the north of Devon
some years ago. was fono Of having
convival meetings in his parsonage which
often ended uproariously. Bishop Phil
potts sent for him, and said, "Mr. Rad
ford, hear, but l can hardly believe it.
that men fight in your house, "Lor,
my DEAR" answered Parson Radford, in
broad Devonshire, "doant y believe it.
When they begin fighting, | take and turn
them out into the churchyard." The
Bishop came one day to visit him with
out notice. Parson Radford, in scarlet,
was lust about to mount his horse and
gallop off to the meet, when he heard
the Bishop was in the village. He had
barely time to send away his hunter, run
upstairs and jump, red coat and boots,
into bed,when the Bishops carriage drew
up at the door. "Tell his lordship I'm
ill, will ye - was his injunction to his
housekeeper. sis Mr.. Radford in?'
asked the Bishop. Hes ill in bed"
said the housekeeper. "Dear me I'm
so sorry! Pray ask him if l may come
up and sit with him." The housekeeper
ran upstairs in sore dismay, and entered
the parsons room. The parson steal
thily raised his head, above the bed
clothes, but was reassured when he saw
his room was invaded by his housekeep-
er, and not by the Bishop. "Please,
your honor, his ludship wants to come
upstairs and sit with you a little"
"With me? Good heavens!' groaned
Parson Radford. "No; 60 down and
tell his lordship I'm took cruel bad with
the scarlet-fever; it is an aggravated
case, and very catching"

renee had taken place in Cincinnati.
What many of our politicians will de-
nounce as great outrage in Massachu-
setts would be accepted as a
party necessity, or something OF the
kind, if it should take place in
Cincinnati. Scenes just as disgracefu
have been enacted in conventions right
here in Hamilton County, and men have
been accepted as party nominees with no
more claim than Butler has on the Massa-
chusetts Democracy. The trick played in
Massachusetts affords lesson that should
be carefully studied. 1t isn't as isolated
a case as it at first seems, and it is far
enough off to be considered without the
prejudice which party feeling and party
interest is sure TO beget when the oc-
currence is nearer home. We have plenty
of Buffers right here. They are lit
tie fellows in intellect but in party
meannesses and unscrupulous tricks they
are giants.

ANIMALS IN A CYCLONE

A Key West correspondent of the
Baltimore american giving an account
of the terrible cyclone which the United
States vessel "Ossipee" recently en-
countered at sea, says: The effect of
the storm on the animals on board was
peculiar. The cats disappeared ON the
morning before the storm and have not
since been seen. The only dog is Daniel
a splendid pointer, owned by the Cap
tain. He exhibited the greatest dread
at being left alone, and was only ap.
peased when some one was petting him.
The hens and turkeys, usually the most
hungry and voracious and quarrelsome
beasts on board, forgot their hunger and
barely opened their eyes when food was
thrown them. Two birds, "bobos," a
species of pelican, came on board while
we were lying in the vortex. They must
have been drawn down while attempting
to fly over US. The parrot was the only
person on board who seemed at all to
enjoy the surroundings. She talked
whistled, and laughed in the afternoon
after the barometer had had commenced
to rise. Much personal property was
destroyed by the seas that got into the
staterooms, in spite of all precautions.
Most everybody lost from one to two
caps and from one to three suits OF
clothes The ship herself after the
storm was over had most oilapidated
appearance, much worse than any ever
saw after going through severe battle
But we are all very grateful that We
passed through the ordeal. Other YES
sells, fear Jared much worse, as we have
seen considerable debris, evidently from
the wreck of vessels.

rN SP AIN.

During the celebration of mass, in the
cathedral of Seville, it is curious to see a
number of boys, in cooked hats, knee
breeches and silk stockings, gravely dane
ing minuet before the altar. 1t is even
more curious to find that the custom is one
of the greatest antiquity. More than a
thousand yeare ago, when the Arabs cap
tured the city and invaded tue cathedral,
some young men, by dancing gravely and
slowly forward, held their attention while
the canons, laden with treasures, es-
capped at the back of the church. And in
conmemoration Of this arti6ce, ever
since the cathedral came again into Chris
tian hands, the dance has been feature Of
the service.

THE New York Dispatch paints a woe
full picture of Cincinnati in order to per-
suade the members of Theodore Thomas
Orchestra not to accompany him here.
After accusing Cincinnati of a want of
enterprise-rather fimsy charge under
the circumstances and saying all the
other hard things that occurred to fertile
imagination, the article concludes in this
strain: "Music is taught by great many
persons, and if the New York members of
Theodore Thomas Orchestra accompany
him thither in the hope of obtaining lu-
crative employment as teachers of instru-
mental or vocal music, they will be wo-
fully disappointed. And then the city
is extremely hot in the summer time.

newspapers, excellent beer, and rather
pretty surroundings; but, on the whole,

BUFFERS handling of the Massa-
chusetts Democracy was the most SUI
blime exhibition of cheek that the an
mails of political scrambles have yet re-
corded. Without even claiming to be
member of the party he concluded to
force his nomination at the hands of the
Democratic State Convention. TO ac-
eomplish this he set up delegations,
brought on his followers from all parts of
the State and determined to force his
way into the Democratic party whether
wanted or not. 1t was evident from the
first that nearly the whole machinery
Of the party was in the hands of
men opposed to turning the organi-
zation over to Butler. The tactics used
to meet this state of things are peculiar
to Butler. No other politician would
have had the Hall broken open and thrust
his followers by force into the Conven-
ton to make nomination in defiance OF
both civil authorities and party man.

A SAN FRANCISCO man, who says he
was an intimate friend and boon COM
panion of Edgar A. Poe for several
years, asserts that Poe did not die di-
rectly from either dissipation or exposure.
His death was the immediate result Of
drugs administered to him by local poll
ticians for the purpose Of influencing him
to repeat his votes at Baltimore elect
ion. Poe, in his stupor, was led about by
those men until he had voted twenty or
thirty times, when he dropped through
sheer exhaustion, and was conveyed to
the hospital, where he really died from
the effects of the drugs.
