John sherman,s Platform.

New York, May PA letter from
John Sherman to a war democrat
here states that while there is no doubt
but what he could be elected governor
of Ohio, it would be wrong for him to
entertain the proposition, so many be-
ing interested In the refunding and re-

not for the purpose of irritating the
south or expressing them in any way,
but to assert and maintain supreme
national authority to the full extent Of
all powers conferred by the constitu-
tion. The true issue for 1880 is ma
tional supremacy in national matters,
honest money and an honest dollar"

Seattle, Washington Territory, May
23.--Col. W. T. Prosser, United States
special timber agent, has seized some
seven million feet Of logs in the boom
ON Ebey's slough, on the Smohomish
river, on information that they were
cut on government land. 1t will un-
doubtedly be proved that at least por-
tion of the logs are the property of pri-
vate parties, who cut them on their
own land, while most of them unques-
tionably belong to the government.
Considerable excitement prevails over
the matter.

Washington, May 23.-A few demo-
Gratis in the house are endeavoring to
work up sentiment in favor of con-
gress adjournmg without passing the
army bill. They propose to pass the
Legislative bill, but make no appropria-
tion for the army, and to leave it in the
same condition as two years ago, when
no appropriation was made. 1t is not
probable that the scheme will succeed,
but if 1t does the president will call
congress together in another extra ses-
sion in July. This much is absolutely
certain; the president intends that the
necessary appropriations shall be made
for the army, and he will call congress
here in mid summer unless they are
made ut the present session.

Leadville's Luck.

Leadville, May 23.-Very large fires
have been raging in the timber almost
all around Leadville to-day. Many
cabins have been burned, also a large
amount of cord wood. For some time
the buildings on Freyer Hill were con-
sidered in danger, as well as the new
smelling works just completed on Big
Evans gulch. The fire can now be
seen coming over from Iowa guich to
California gulch, east of town, and, If
the wind should continue in its present
direction, it would seem almost certain
to reach Carbonate hill, and, possibly,
the town itself.

Washington, May 23.-The senate
took up the bill making subsidiary coins
exchangeable for lawful money of the
United States, and to make such coins
legal tender in sums up to 800.
The committees amendment to sub.
stitute $40 for $50, was discussed.
The bill was supported by Bayard,
Booth, Ferry aud Herman, and was
opposed by Edmunds and Thurman.
The morning hour having expired
the bill went over without action, and
the senate took up the contagious dis
ease bill.
No action was taken on the bill.
Senate went into executive session and
soon afterwards adjourned until Mon
day.
Washington, May 23.-Atkins, from
the committee on appropriations, re-
ported back the senate amendments to
the legislative appropriation bill, and
stated that he was instructed to move
concurrence thereon. 1t was hardly
necessary, he said, to give reasons for
such instruction. There were some of
the amendments which the committee
would not under other circumstances
concur; as the increase of salaries of
the senate officials to from 20 to 100 per
cent. more than the salaries of some of
the corresponding employees of the
house. This increase amounted to
over $40,
At the expiration of the morning
hour the house resumed consideration
of the Warner silver bill.
A question was raised by Reed and
discussed by him md Garfield as to
why the government should pay in
Denver the price of silver In New
York, and then be at an expense of
transporting it to Washington or New
York,
Warner replied that was exactly what
the government did now.
The house rejected the amendment
to make all certificates full legal tender
for all debts, public and private, unless
otherwise provided by contract.
The section directing the president
to notify foreign governments that the
United States is ready to cooperate in
the establishment of common ratio
between gold and silver, was stricken
out.
Mills offered an amendment that
nothing in that act shall be construed
as authorizing any coinage of silver
except into standard dollars.
This was agreed TO almost unani-
mously..
On motion of Daggett and Maginnis,
the words carson City, New, and
government assay office, F" were inserted
in the eighth section, and then the
section was adopted as whole; yeas
90, nays ~.
After the adoption of the last section
of the silver bill, Warner moved that
the bill be ordered to third reading
with the view of taking final vote
upon it tomorrow.

DR. Kerwin, the famous Ireland's Eve
murderer, was released from Spike
Island prison, in Queenstown Harbor,
on the 18th inst, after twenty seven
years Of incarceration. The murder for
which this man was convicted in 1851
was one Of the most celebrated criminal
cases Ireland has ever known. DR..
Kerwin was wealthy and very dis
tinguished physician in Dublin. During
the early summer Of 1851 he visited the
island in the harbor of Dublin known as
Ireland's Eye. Soon after the body Of
his wife was found on the beach Of this
island. The woman had been stabbed
To death with the blade OF a sword-cane.
The visit of the doctor to tho island was
readily established, but there was little
or no evidence going to show that his
wife had accompanied him. The ablest
counsel in Great Britain defended him,
but the jury brought him guilty Of muir
der IN the first degree, and he was sen
fenced TO death. The queen, however,
in consideration Of the fact that the evil
dence against him was circumstantial,
committed his sentence to Imprisonment
for life.
