SECRETARY SHERMAN has been in
vited to go to Louisiana to engage in
the canvas of that State, but he has
declined on account of an engagement
to eat his crow in New York, where
he is expected TO prove that the man
who could not be trusted with the Ma
val office in the Custom House, is the
proper man to be Governor of the
Empire State. The Secretary, how
ever, has not given the true reasons
for declining to appear in Louisiana.

GEN. w. B. FRANKLIN, who mt one

bEN. w. ID. i Rankin, VINO ht one
time commanded the 9th Army Corps,
has written letter in which he COM
ments very severely on General Burn
side for making public dispatches writ
ten to him by General Porter during the
war, which had much, if not all to do
in the conviction of that officer. They
were mere private missives, and as such
much freer in comment than if he
had supposed they were to be given
out. General Franklin says:
"The late developments in the Porter
case show how dangerous it Is TO trust a
fool, however well.meaning n fellow he
may be. Porter's dispatches to Burn.
side were friendly missives, and what
ever he said about Pope was intended
doubtless for his own ear. Nobody but
fool could have looked upon them in
any other light, and it was the height
of folly (indeed of knaveryl for Burn
side to have transmitted them TO Wash
ington.n
Here is the opening for n very nice
fight. There is plenty of "fuss and
feathers" in Burnside's make up, but
he is not devoid of courage and will
no doubt call Franklin to account for
his language.

Our Republican friends make a
wonderful hurrah over the Ohio and
Iowa elections. One would suppose
they had achieved extraordinary vic
tories instead of only maintaining their
ground in States in which few, if
any persons, expected different results.
Their success in Ohio will probably
be the rock upon which their hopes
for solid North in the presidential
canvas will founder. Thoughtful peo-
pie will have time to reflect upon the
evil and danger of again dividing this
government by geographical lines for
political purposes, and may be in a
mood to hold the party that advo-
Gates such a policy to fearful ac-
.countability. IL is union and har-
mony between the North and the
South, not division and discord, that are
needed to aid the country TO return to
complete prosperity.
