GEN. SHERMAN SATISFIED.
His Opinions on the New Army BIZ.

washington Fort
representative of the Post called on
Gen. sherman at his rooms in the Ebbit
House last night for the purpose of 90
tanning his views on the pending bill
Tor the reorganization Of the army.
lhough courteous, as usual, Gen. Sher-
man preferred not to commit himself
to any detailed expression of opinion
on the new army bill, because it affected
the interests of so many of his old fell
low-officers, but he felt certain that the
committee had acted in spirit of fair
ness to the army at large.
Have you examined the bill, gen.
eral?'' said the Post.
THAT is just what am doing now"
said the general pointing to a huge
document lying on the table before
him. az find" continued he, "that
the first part of the bill provides for the
organization on Il basis of $4,000 men
and thirty regiments in lieu of the
present forty 1t affects the staff de-
partment and bureaus more than it
does the line Of the army. This part
of the bill is comparatively short and
condensed ana is all embraced in the
first seventeen pages. The whole of
the remainder of the bill, which has
264 pages of printed matter, enacts a
law substantially made up heretofore of
regulations, embracing the articles of
war. On the whole, | am pleased with
the bill, because it makes clear and
distinct many things which heretofore
have been uncertain or dependent on
usage or custom"
Il observe" said the Post, that one
of the newspapers this morning charges
that the bill legislates Gen. Drum out of
office to make way for a relative of
yours|
So | have been told, replied the gen
eral, "and have only to say that the writ
er displayed both his ignorance and his
malice in the publication Of such stuff,
Gen Drum will not be legislated out of
Office. He is not affected by it at all.
If the bill becomes a law. Adjutant-
General Townsend will be mustered
out. Gen Drum is assistant adjutant-
general and by reason Of seniority will
be promoted, unless the president by
his own voiton selects some one else"
"What relative of yours is alluded
to in that article?"
81 don't know; | haven't a relative
in the army. Gen. Miles is no relative
of mine, but connection by reason of
having married my niece"
." Has Gen. Miles been mentioned for
the place.
He has been mentioned by the news
papers, | bsleve, in connection with
the office; bit have never mentioned
his name, nor have | heard the pres
ldent or secretary Of war mention it in
that connection. Gen. Miles is, how
ever, an officer of high merit, and has
been in active service on the frontier
ever since the civil war"

For Parents to Think About.
Rochester N. " Democrat.

| This leads US to repeat what we said
week or so ago. when commencing
on the work of Anthony Comstock in
suppressing the devilish traffic in OBJ
scene literature, that parents are in a
large measure responsible, because they
allow a foolish prudery to stand in the
way of the utmost frankness with their
children on these subjects. Instead of
atfectionately instructng and cleverly
cautioning them on the evils which in
evltably await a perverted use OF the
passions, they relegate that work to
the child itself, and under the fatal
stimulus Of low-minded companions,
the boys and girls of our most sagacious
and common-sense parents imbibe the
most frlghtful notions from the most
exciting and demoralizing books of
quacks who play upon the natural
symptoms of growth, and frighten the
innocent and untainted into acts OF
desperation, which heap multiplied ills
upon them. This is also a shameful
mistake. 1t is time to speak out against
it. Family physicians should, if par
ents cannot, take this delicate matter
in charge, and adroitly, but effectively
and who can be more effective in such
instruction explain the nature of the
reproductive instinct and fearlessly and
consciencionsly indicate the certain
pollution Of death tina! waits on those
who violate the most sensitive and
vengefui of all physiological laws.
But, done or not done, the parents 3,
must not forget that they are at least
particeps criminals with the child, if
they evade the performance of at once
the most delicate and important of all
duties of training up a child in the way
1t should go, that it may not depart
therefrom except at its own peril

Seven Hundred Slaves on Cuban
Plantation SCI Free.
New York Tribune.


An account was given in Saturday s
Tribune of the release OF eighty slaves
at Santiago de Cuba, by the widow OF
Senior Antonio Fernandez Bramorsio,
and news Of similar act Of generosity
on the part Of wealthy planter OF
Cuba has Just reached this city. Senior
Miguel Adams, "a millionaire, and par
tial owner o. seven plantations, who
was exiled from Cuba in 1869, on ac-
count of sympathy with the insurgents,
owned, with bis brother-n-law, about
two thousand slaves. After his Danish
ment he came to this city, and his pro-
perty was confscated by the Spanish
government. During his exile he went
to Europe, and while in Paris had the
necessary papers prepared before a
French notary, setting free the seven
hundred slaves, which, according to his
fathers WILL were TO fall to his share as
co-heir with the marquis of Monticello,
his brother-in-law, in the division of the
large estate. This deed he bad exc
cuted and recorded on behalf of the
London Abolition Society. To the ex-
ecutive board of the society he deliver
ed it Mt the time in order that the Mad
rid government might be informed of
his wishes. To the efforts of the a bO-
iition society, seconded by the British
foreign office, the government of Spain
lnterposed the plea that the state OF war
in the island, and the fact that the
property was confiscated and therefore
out of the control of Senior Aldamo,
precluded the execution of the deed,
pledging ITSELF however, that should
peace be restored, and a return Of pro
perty decreed to the exiled Cubans, the
project might be carried out. The for
eign office and the Abolition Society
were compelled to submit to this.
Since the restoration Of peace in the
island through the Ianjou capitulation,
and the decree Of Gen. Campos, restor-
ing to the rightful owners all contiscated
property, it has become possible to carry
cut this humane plan, and the fact Is
for the first time made public that
Senior Aldamo has recently set free the
seven hundred slaves which he owned
in Cuba.
1t is now said that in all probability
he other members Of the family, hold
i nc the remaining twenty-three hundred
slaves, will initiate his example.

to such legislative remedies as congress

support, but will demand an effective
enforcement of the act of 1862. or
