GENERAL SHERMAN AND THE CON-
FEDERATES.


FEDERArES
The Chicago Times crihcizes General
SHERMAN's North Carolina letter by i'm
putting to him "a habit of saying unpleas-
"ant things when there is no pressing ne
"cessity for their utterance." This may be
so, but the experiment on the part of the
North Carolinians of endeavoring TO seduce
General SHERMAN into position where
he would even tacitly admit that the Con-
federate soldiers battled for cause in any
degree entitled to his respect and honor,
was o hazardous one, and those who at
tempted it ever SO courteously should have
known better. The Times adds: at is far
from probable that the North Carolina
Confederates had any idea that he would be
"present. Their invitation was courteous
:" one, and called only fora courteous reply
II the North Carolina Confederates had an
idea that General SHERMAN would not at
tend, that idea was undoubtedly based upon
the questionable propriety and taste of eX-
tending such an invitation under the cir
not have been INDUCED. General SHER-
MAN is loyal, brave and blunt SOL
der who can never entertain a high
respect for the enemies of his country,
no matter under what guise they may pre-
sent themselves. While he would have
been glad to let bygones be bygones, the
last five years of Southern history has not
tended to pacNtion or confidence in Con-
federate sincerity, fraternity and loyalty.
They have shown by their numerous acts OF
dsloyalty that in unlriendlness of spirit
they are scarcely remove from that of the
years of the war. They will not let by
cones be bygones, and hence they cannot
expect to reap q crop different from that
which they SOW. General SHERMAN has
been taught by the Confederates during the
last year that they are no more entitled To
his respect now than when in arms against
the Union--for their spirit is unchanged
though war is not now expedient. He is nc
hypocrite to affect a respect and confidence
which he does not entertain.

No better service has latterly been rem
dered to the Republic and the Republican
party than that performed by General
WooDFoRD in his recent report of the man
ner in which the Southern courts are pros
tituted to the basest partisan use of pro-
tecting political murderers from punish
ment But we have reason to believe that
the natural conservative bent of his charac-
ter served II bad purpose in closing his eyes
against many irregularities connected with
the CHISHOLM murder trial. lie argues that
the prosecution therein and the court itself
were terribly in earnest, and that the bias
of the trial, if there was any, was against
the prisoner all of which may be true.
But we submit that, if it is true, the ac-
quttal of GULLY was greater enOrmity
than has ever before been evolved from
straightforward and unprejudiced sources.
In other words, we believe that it will yet
be proven that the seeming earnestness of
the prosecution and the alleged bias of the
court against GULLY were parts and parcels
of the conspiracy, The old game of serving
the devil in the livery of Heaven was
played right under General WooDFoRD's
eyes, and he was unable to see throughit.

A FEW dozen individuals who profess to
be Independent Republican voters in the
city of New York propose to prove that
they are such by declaring their intention
to vote against part of the Republican
State ticket This is political consistency
as practiced by class Of men who are only
convenient Republicans 1t is well that
they start in early, for it will afford them
the more time to repent and reform. True
Republicans invariably support Republican
nominations. This is Il sure test.

REVIEWING the speeches made at the re-
cent Syracuse pow-wow in the light of calm
after-thought, the regret is forced involun-
tarily that SUNSET Cox failed in his rhe-
torical effort on that occasion to commend
the economical administration of affairs in
New York city by the late WILLIAM NJ.
TWEED. This was part of SUNSETS regu-
lar speech when TWEED was alive and in
power. Why does lie omit it now that the
old man is dead and gone to his last ac-
count? Is it possible that SAM Cox is an

THE oblteration of all vestiges of Radical
rule when the Democrats return to power
when they do, mind you-will include n
revision of our coinage system ON a method
more extensive than that already begun by
ALECK STEPHENS. All the dies will be
changed; the motto In God we trust" will
be abandoned, and the profile of some
Southern goddess will be substituted for
the representation of that chuckle-cheeked
Philadelphia damsel on the new dollar. In
lieu of these plug of tobacco, a jug OF
whisky and brace Of shotguns and revolv-
ers will be substituted on one side of the

THE Democrats Of Virginia are perfectly
willing that colored men should vote the
Democratic ticket, but they must keep
away from the caucuses where the caudi-
dates are made. At II Democratic primary
election, which occurred in Richmond, Va,
few days ago, the following was conspic-
uously advertised; None but white mem-
"bers Of the Conservative party, who are
"known, rs proved to the judges, to have
"identfed themselves with it heretofore
"shall vote" This was printed in the
Richmond papers, and in order that there
might be no mistakes the word "white
was printed in small capital letters. The
Virginia Democrats have made strenuous
efforts to induce negroes to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, and it is possible few do SC
ON election day, but the foregoing shows
that the Democracy do not intend they
shall have any voice in selecting candi'
dates

that having whipped the devil, Tammany

line and proposes to whip the old Cipher

simply renewal Of the old strife, for the
legend of the original encounter closes with
the explanation that the devil escaped
