SHERMAN AND THE PRESIDENCF. !
1t is probable that Secretary Sherman will
meet with opposition to his Presidential as
pirations from an unlooked-fo quarter. His
policy in disposing of the bonds of the gov
eminent may be looked upon in some di-
rections as masterpiece of financial en-
cheering, tutin others it meets only the
severest condemnation. The national banks
have reason to remember him, and by the
time they are required to substitute four pei
cent. bonds for those now on deposit as Sc
curity for their circulation on the first Of
July next, they will feel in no friendly mood
towards him. @
Few Of the national banks have had the
forethought to provide themselves with the
four per cent. bonds necessary to replace
those bearing higher rate of interest on de-
post at Washington. Their neglect wat
natural and not to be condemned
When the nav bonds were frs,
issued they sold sparingly. Gradually th.
sales increased, but only in such proportion
"A to lead to the impression that the pur
chasers we're private individuals seeking 1
safe investment for their surplus earnings
For the first few months even the most 81
eacious financiers would have thought tina
several years would be required to consume
the whole amount authorized. But few
bankers began to take up the bonds, and tn
subscriptions continued to increase. FINAL,

We presume that, like other army officers, he
pays little attention to party politics. Yet
the infamous conduct of Mr.. Hayes in dis
approving Of strictly judicial decision ct
the dictation Of partisan malignity ought to
awaken the indignation of every honest
citizen. It has but one parallel in history.
1t is related briefly in the book of books
thus:
PLATE saith unto them, "What shall do then
with Jesus, which is called Christi" They all
say unto him. ''Let him be crucifed.' And the
But they cried out the more, saying, Let him
be crucified." When Plate saw that he could
prevail nothing, but that rather q tumult was
made. he took water, and washed his hands
before the multitude, saying, L am Innocent
of the blood of this JUST PERSON: see ye to it. :
Jesus was tried before PLATE and was
found guiltless, yet, consenting to the clamor
of the populace, the Judge gave him over to
be crucified. Gen. Porter was tried before
q court of Mr.. Hayes own selection and
pronounced innocent, yet Hayes, obedient to
the clamor of despicable and dishonored
party, has consented to continuing him in
dishonor. When the two transactions are
compared, that of PLATE stands forth bril-
liant with q noble manhood, while that OF
Hayes sinks far below the level of the most
cruel and abject wretch that history consignf
to universal execration.
Tho case seems to have become one Of
politics, and not military evidence" We arr

dition to its already heavy load of infamies
can endure this browning shame, the Democ
racy can. But in the name of outraged
Justice and our common humanity, we pro
test against SO detestable an exhibition o

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Hayes Correcting the Lying Statements of
2 Gen. CONWAY.

Hayes Correcting tho Lying statements OF
Gen. Conway.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The declared inten-
ton to proceed with chartered boats to remove
negroes from the Mississippi Valley under the
alleged advice and promised protection of the
President, created much indignation among
tho members of the Mississippi and Louisiana
delegations. Several members representing
these delegations have called on the President
since the publication of the Conway interview,
and protested against the use made Of his
name in the matter. The President, however,
assured those calling upon him in connection
with the affair that he had not advised any ono
to make such movements.
Representatives King, Ellis and Gibson, of
Louisiana, to-day, in cOEversation with Presi-
dent Hayes on the subject. represented to him
that from the report of his declarations with
regard to the exodus, the impression would be
dus, and would extend government aid in fur
therance of it.. The reply of the President
was, in substance that nothing whatever had
tranapired in his interview which could bear
such construction. His only declaration was
that navigation of the Mississippi river should
be free and must remain unmolested. The
President expressed the opinion that
while any citizen, white or colored, had
perfect right to migrate from ono portion Of
the country to another, it would certainly BIO
unfortunate for large masses of colored people
to proceed to any one particular section of
country, and if they saw fit to remove, It
would, in his opinion, be better il they could
be generally settled throughout the entire
country. He expressed no opinion - to the
policy or wisdom of the recent Southern exo-
dus. on @
Upon being informed by Mr.. King that an
impression was being conveyed smong the col
ored people of his district that the government
| would help them in migrating westward, tho
President said there WAS no foundation what
ever for the circulation of such IN idea. BE

templating emigration.

a month since. Then the truth dawned up
on the country, especially that part of the

few days after the bonds we're taken the
financial reports showed small premium on
four per cent. bonds. That premium has
been constantly increasing ever since, until
yesterday they were quoted at 1.O511a. The
