DEATH OF Mrs. sH.Rn,N.

An item in our telegraphic columns this
morning from Newport announces the
death of Mrs. General Sherman, and ssys
the General is very low, with but slight
hopes of his recovery. This does not r. fer
TO the family of W. 7. Sherman, General
of the army, but to General Thomas W.
Sherman, Major General on the retired
list. He graduated at West Point, was
made second lieutenant and assigned TO
the Third artillery, July l, 1886, the same
regiment to which VIM. T. Sherman was
assigned as second-lieutenant four years
after. He served with distinction during
the late war, and was placed on the retired
list with the full rank of Major General,
Dec. 81, 1870. Mrs. Sherman was the
daughter OF the late Ex-Governor Shannon,
of this State.

The board ofinquiry which took testimony
in the Fitz John Porter case, met in New
York yesterday TO make their final report
to the President. The testimony is volun :

readers. Whatever msy be the opinion of
the board, the opinion OF the loyal men
will be little altered as to the merits OF
General Porter. The board consists Of
Msjor General Schofield, Brigdsdier Gen

Our Governor is Acling Impartially

Az We stated the other day, the Governor
has been peculiarly fortunate in his se'ec-
tions for the different positions under his
control There has been a good deal of 3
fight over the Leavenworth Director Of the
Penitentisry. One man was appointed and
rejected By the Senate. Yesterday the
Governor appointed S. F. Burdett, and he
was promptly confirmed. There is hardly
a person in the State bu: what will rscog-
pize this appointment and one every Wy
81 TO be made. Mr.. Burdett ia a good BUSH
ness man, man of good judgment and
practical common sense He has filled the
the position Of Grand Secretary of the
Grand Lodge of / o o. F. for seventeen or
eighteen wears, which is the only recon-
msndation necessary az to his honesty end
integrity The Goverpor has got ont Of 8
bad muddle ea-ily. We believe this sp-
pointu,ent will come nearer harmonizing
the different elements in Leavenwortb, tn n
any which could hsve been made.

he never left until after the election was

There is testimony that Geo. T. Anthony
made offers through his friends. | don't
believe it. In the first place, he had no
friends that he'd any money: and, in the
the second place, he never had the most ex-

he is too smart man To make fool of
himself in a game of that kind.

GOV. st. JOHN

There seems to be general impression
that Gov. st. Johns administration will be
30 conducted as to promote the general
welfare and prosperity of the people Of the
State. The Governor seems disposed in
the making Of appointments to select the
best men without regard to the wishes OF
would-be political dictstors He seems to
understand the situation thoroughly, and
has succeeded thus far in giving general
satisfaction.

Some Sta st,.tic~ Hf Newspaper Making.


We are compelled this morning TO again
print quintup'e sheet of the HraI' to
meet the demands Of advertisers, who &C.
cupy sixty-eight colums of our spare.
Apart from the great amount of extra labor
required to set the immense quantity of
type required by this increase of size, the
single item of stereotyping reaches extra
ordinary dimensions. As four cen plates
are made of each page of the Herald our
issue of to-day calls for two hundred ard
eighty plates; each Of these weighs fifty
pounds, 30 the full set requires
about fourteen Thousand pounds, or
seven tons Of metal from which TO print
this single edition. In round numbers
shout three millions Of pieces of type have
been picked up, one at time, by COM
positors to prepare the pages for the stere-
tvpers. md more than one hundred and
fifty men were required TO set the type,
make the plates and print the paper.
These figures will give our readers some
idea, thouVh only an imperfect one, of the
amount of work necessary to the printing
of single copy Of the Herald.
