UNION SOLDIERS BoLTINa SHERMAN. .st'i (
WASHINGTON D. O., Oct. 5.-John Sherman
has been presented win a copy of an address
issued by the Union soldiers Association in
New Orleans. The gentleman who sent it to
him said that the document is to be sent
throughout Ohio. The burden of it is an
official declaration from the Union soldiers ele-
Rent of that State, that the administration
disseminated against them without mercy. An
| appeal as made to the soldiers of the North to
command what they have failed to- secure.
The association complained: First, that United
States representatives sent to Washington
| received no hearing. Then committee was ap-
| pointed to inspect the appointment OF all fed
eral officers in Louisiana to find whether the
Union soldiers were anywhere employed even
in the most subordinate offices. As this circur
lar promises to be one Of the episodes in the
Ohio contest, and as its statements are unques-
/ tionable, it is interesting to know how it came
| to be prepared and with what effect it has been
received. The ardent patriots who preferred
this plaintive appeal for government pay, en-
ployed Hale syrher at Washington, as minis
ter resident for the Louisiana Spectators, to
word their complaint. 1t was then in
tended to place this document in Sher-
mans hands with the threat of sending
it into Ohio if the prosecuted Union element
should not be seen. The rascal element in
every Louisiana combination for plumber, hes
always some scoundrel who exposes his assooi-
ates and their plans. The results of this is
that their circular now reaches the public and
its matchmaking intent is denoted. 1t is also
positive that the administration through John
Sherman, was disposed to conciliate this ele-
ment, but because of this publication the
writer's of the circular will fail in their object.
THE COMING CONGRESS SESSION.
Tho ,f
Uses to be one of the windiest of the national
series. 1t is barely possible that there will be
something like an attempt at legislation
outside Of. the routine, but old judges
predict it will result in nothing but an at
tempt. The close proximity of an exciting
presidential canvass will simply loosen the
flood gates of talk as they have never been be-
fore. There are Indications that thespresent Ute
outbreak is to be used as the occasion for a new
move upon Congress in the interest of the
scheme to transfer the Indian bureau to the
war department.. Already some of the men,
beers of the old Indian rings are active in advo-
cacy of the change.
The internal revenue Office has information
lima distiller, has entrenched himself
county, with some thirty desperadoes, who
have determined to defy the internal revenue
officers and marshars officers to the last OK
tremity. The government is said to have offered
reward of $3.50 for his capture.
FALLING TO PIECES.
The Southern Republican association, So
called, appears to be distracted by discussions.
It is even stated that one of the members, ex-
Senator Foote, of South Carolina, proposes to
attempt to secure the success of the Democratic
ticket in 1880 if he cannot have his own way in
national affairs.
