FOSTERS WITHDRAWAL.

COLUMBUS, December 20.-Foster kicked up
sensation Saturday by Withdrawing from the Sen.
atorial contest. Speaker Cowgill lately returned
from Mentor wrote hem q letter under date OF
December H. expressing the belief that the dis
senslons incident to heated senatorial contest
would result In harm to the Republican party
Foster upon receipt Of the letter, conferred with
several leaders Of the party among them ChAsr.
man Nash, Of the Republican State executive
committee, who opined that the senatorial con-
test would engender no discOTd hurtful tn the
party in the State but that the public would ap.
preCiate Fosters BelEd denial should he Withdraw.
Foster thereupon announced his withdrawal In a
letter Saturday to Cowgill stating that while he
was ambitious to be Senator stood good chance
Of success aud did not share the apprehension Of
discerd expressed in letters to him from several
prominent men Of his party, he should withdraw,
thus obeying the wishes Of the leading republic
ans "holding high positions in the confidence Of
the party" Ho taCitly admitted that this last
clause OF his letter referred to Garfield, but de-
MED that he was led to withdraw by the promise
Of a ca binet position, for which he pretends to
have no desire.

NO CAPTA1N-GENERAL FOR HIM.
Gen. Sherman DON'T Want Grant Put
Over Him Again.

Washington, D. O., Dec., 16, 1880.
William Scott, Esq, New York City:
Dear sCott-Lest you and my personal friends
may be disturbed by the stories again put in cir.
culstion in consequence Of the recommendation
in the Presidents message to make General U. s.
Grant Captain. General, l will explain my case to
you.
When Gen. Grant was nominated for President
in the first instance in 1858, he volunteered to me
the opinion that when his term was out he would
not desire to regain command Of the army, as 1t
would be unjust to me. have never heard him
since say a word to indicate change in that
opinion, and l do not believe he or his friends
suggested to the President the idea ofthe Captain.
Generally, or Of regaining place on the army
retired list There Is no reason why Presidents
may not be retired the same as the members Of
the Supreme Court,
Gen, Hancock, when candidate for President,
in June last used this language in private letter
to me: ITO surrender the position Of senior Major
General iS not a light thing to do. could not
even retire in such contingency with the benefits
ordinarily attached to such action, for the Cam.
maDder in.Chief Of the Army and Navy could not
be on the retired list OF any service"
As to my retiring, you know that will not be
80 years old till 1882 and the rumor Of my intend
ing voluntarily to retire grew out OF expressed
desire to manage so as to bring Lieutenant Gener'
al Sheridan to Washington, and thus to leave the
three military divisions for the three Major Gen.
erals now on the army register. But as the Presi.
dent haR just indicated new fourth division for
Major General schoaeld, that pressure has passed
and am in no measure committed as to my
future action. The service is embarrassed al.
ready with too much rank for our small army,
and don't know what Captain General will
find to do. There never was such an officer in
the United States, and 1t will need legislation to
create and define such an Office, will take my
own time and course Of action when the emergen.
cy comes As always, your friend,
W. I. SHERMAN.

Panama, December 16-Ths long expected
Chilian advance on Lima is at last an actually.
November 10Th eighteen vessels, all war vessels
excepting four sailing vessels, which were towed
appeared OF Plsco. The Angsmo and TWO other
vessels steamed into the harbor, the former ap.
preaching the mole as closely as possible and
sent an oficer ashore, who demanded the surren
der Of the place, and was refused. Fire was at
once opened from the three ships, and was re
turned by the Peruvian force on shore. This was
only 1000 men commanded by Col, Zamudis
The landing at Pisco was resisted 80 hotly that
most Of the Chilians landing al Paracas, about ten
miles Off Immediately marched on Plsca, almost
surrounding Zamudas' small force. That officer
hopeless Of further defense, without the sacrifice
OF his entire force, retired after blowing up the
shore section Of the wharf and destroying other
property to prevent 1t falling into ChliRn hands.
The rolling stock Of the Psco Railrt ad was burn.
ed-a severe loss to the English bondholders
The Peruvian loss In the fight Ia placed at $50
men, and the Chilian loss at three times that
Der. The Chilian force landed consisted OF TO- 900
men. The transports having landed the troops
they returned to africa for further reinforcements
which will be landed nearer Lima, probably at
CerrO AEul, and thence move on the Capital
Plsco Is 1876 miles from Lima, and 70 from Cerro
Azul The force landed at PlSco will probably
destroy all the towns In the Yea Valley and then
winter In Canete Valley, which they will probably
make their base Of operations. The march to
Lima will be resisted step by step.

THE RESULT IN MAINE.

The den0uemeat of the effort to-
deprive the people of Maine of
their right to choose their own State
officers is humiliating in the highest
degree to those engaged in that eff,
fort, provided they are endowed
with such thing as manly self
respect. A few knave5 who hap.
pened at the time to occupy places
of trust, made unimportant irregu,
laritieS the pretext for robbing a
majority of the people of the State
of their constitutional rights.
First, one Garcelon, who through
a peculiar and unreasonable provis-
ion Of the Constitution of the State
Of Maine, accidentally became Gov
ernOr last year, undertook by brute
force to steal the Legislature and
dictate his successor in Office. He
succeeded in rendering himself in
famous, and two weeks ago skulked
- 49, r~~AsiUn AZ AIGa U.io-
graced. After a few days of wrang.
ling, he was succeeded by a man
named Smith, who claimed that
he had been elected Gov
ernor. He signalized his entry
in position he was trying to usurp
by protesting in the language o
the lowest street bully, that he wa
going to hold on.
But the Republicans have gon,
quietly on, relying upon the justic
of their cause, leaving disputer
questions to be settled by the high
est judicial tribunal in the State
waiting with patience and dignity
for the right to triumph. Til,
right has triumphed. The Demo
cratic rebellion in Maine hal
collapsed, and order will b.
restored in a few days. If Smith

Fusioni8ts pretend to have elected
Governor, demeans himself pcaca-
bly, and quietly, like other citizens
he will experience no trouble. /

WEDNESDAY, JAN 81, 1880
sTANDIFORD's LAST MOVE

The public mind is hardly yet
sufficiently Gained from the bold,
dashing chockmate made by DR..
Standiford, on Saturday morning,
to receive any new coup detat, nor
is it likely that one can 50 soon be
formed. In fact, where is the ma
terial? If DR.. Standiford gets all
the leased lines Of the Nashville
and Chattanooga, including the
Central, it may be claimed that he
practically has the whole South.
1t is a question, however, whether
he can hold the Western and At
lantic. That road was leased till
1891 to a syndicate Of capitalists,
in number twenty-three, part of
whom were Jos. E. Brown, Jno. I.
Grant, of Atlanta; w. b. Johnston,
G. L. Nutting, Of Macon; Ii. B,
Plant and another, from Augusta
also, B. II. Hill, Alex. Stephens
and Richard Peters, and perhaps
some Others, of Georgia, with B. f.
Newcomer and W. II. Walters, of
Baltimore, E. W. Cole, Don Cam
eron and Columbus Delano, and
some others, whose names we do
not know. Who compose the
syndicate now but few out
side the sacred circle can tell.
This road has been the key to
the whole Southern situation. 1t
is well managed and carries
enormous quantities of freight. To
it the Cincinnati Southern would 20
on routes farther west. 1t depends
entirely upon whether DR.. Stands
ford can hold the control Mr., Cole
has Of this road by purchasing the
Nashville and Chattanooga, whether
he purchase is a cheokmate or an
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1880-01-21

gorgeous blunder. 1t is said that
the lessee stock held by Mr.. Cole
did not constitute majority
without perfect agreement with
Gov. Brown. Again, then comes
the question, can DR.. Standiford, If
he holds Mr.. Coles lease stock, buy
from others enough to hold ma,
jority in the W. & A. syndicate?
That syndicate has become very
close corporation, composed of few
individuals, or if he buys may
he not find himself hampered at one
or another point by that Richelieu
of Southern politics, who has never
yet failed, sooner or later, to over
come any antagonist who has drawn
swords in his path?
1t is not yet certainty
that DR.. Standiford has not
thrown 100000 into pit
into which he may have to throw
another to get that back. Why not
have pursued the even tenor of his
way in surveying and getting ready
to connect with Knoxville, and
laughed at King Coles threat
about the spades ? The whole
question simply rests on whether
DR.. Standiford controls the Western
and Atlantic and Central roads, OF
only gets the Nashville, Chattanooga
and ST. Louis, with its immediate
branches. If the first he ha:
drawn a prize; if the latter, a
Haul,
