GEN. sheridan Does Not shine In
Controversy.
New YoRE, January Q.
The Times says, editofially, that General
| Sheridan, it must be admitted, does not
shine in controversy. His supplementary
| report, made in answer to Mr.. SchurZ's
| demand that he should substantiate his
charges agsinst the Indian Bureau q
agement, is o rambling and inconclusive
document. In his original report General
Sheridan said that the Indian border
/ troubles were due to the wan Of sufficient
appropriations, or to the wretched mis-
management Of the Indian Department.
As he subsequently added that the amounts
appropriated by Congress ought TO be suffi-
cient, it necessarily followed that the
General meant to charge that this wretched
mismanagement was the cause OF these
difficulties, and the General cannot escape
the imputation of having been indiscreet
and reckless in his charges by now claim
ing that these sweeping remarks were in
tended only for the eye Of his superior
officer, Sherman. 1t is very doubtful if
an officer in any department OF the Gov
eminent has any right to go out Of his own
sphere of duty to criticize the doings OF
another department Of the Government.
Even civilians have some rights which an
eminent military man is bound to respect,
and General Sheridan, in his supplementary
report, does not seem to realize that he has
made charges which he cannot in the ma
ture Of things make good. The controversy
between General Sheridan and Mr.. Schurz
has, developed considerable ill-feeling on
the part Of the former officer. To say tile
least, the General is betrayed into using
some phrases which remind one more Of
the Of the camp than of the
usages Of polite debate. 1t is evident that
General Sheridan bIundered in going out
Of his way to pitch into the Indian Bureau,
and he now feels obliged to maintain his
ground at any cost.
InvcstOrs' Day-SO !. Demand for
Gold.
NEW YoaK, January 2.
To-day Is investors day, in Wall street.
and the general Government, in New York
City, the banks, insurance companies, rail-
roads and other corporations emphasized
the new year by paying in gold to all who
desired tho semi-annual interest. 1t is

given to the paper money. 1t is more con-
venient to handle, and just as convertible
md acceptable. OF S25, 900 at the Custom
house, up to noon, in payment of duties,
the bulk was ~greenbacks, and at the Sub
Treasury, up to that hour, only $4,000 in
legal tenders had been exchanged for gold.

the probable rush for gold, but the demand
was very light, while in many cases green
backs were preferred. The first demand
was for S210, but not another dollar in
gold was paid out for half an hour. Within
that time there were half a dozen appli-
cants for less than $50, but no payments
are made under that amount.
