John Sherman, with character
istic efIrontery, announces himself
a candidate for the presidential
nomination, in pretty much the
same style that a small aspirant for
public hOnors would announce him
SELF a candidate for constable. In
n letter to friend in Chicago he
says: The first public mention of
my candidacy was in the inference
drawn from my letter to Mr.. Hus
tons, of New York, in which | stat
ed what | would seek to do in case
of my nomination AID election.
Since that time l have been consid
cred by the public as a candidate
and have So regarded myself. l do
not think it necessary for me to be-
little or arraign Gen. Grant. Sena
tor Blaine or any one else, nor will
l use my official position to pro
mote my candidacy.

The House Committee on Appro.

extra appropriation of $350,O00 for
the pay of additional store>keepers

The House Committee on War
Claims, Friday last, reported ad
versely on 80 Southern claims ag-
gregating 100000. Under the
craftsmanship of Bragg, of Wiscon-
SIN, it Will be the policy of this
committee to reject all claims,
whether meritOrious or not, present
ed to congress from this section,
and we advise all southern people
who are indulging the vain hope of
receiving compensation for proper
ty taken during the war to abandon
it at once.
In the senate, Kellogg. of Louis

dignation over q published report
that Jessie Raymond, the young
woman who figured rather scanda-
lousy in the attempt to blackmail
Senator Hill, was brought to Wash
ington by him for the purpose of IN
huencing action on his contested
election case. Kellogg rose In his
stirrups and demanded an investi-
cation, but when Senator Thurman
took the floor and inquired if the
Senate of the United States had be-
come SO degraded as to notice mat
tiers of that sort, he wilted.
The democratic caucus commit
tee, consisting of Senators Thur
man. . Bayard, Garland, Cockrell,
Johnston and Morgan, held a long
session Saturday upon the subject
OF counting the electoral vote. The
whole matter was very generally
and the committee will
come to some conclusion next week.
Some of the committee are in favor
of allowing the whole matter of
counting the electoral vote to re-
main just as it is now.

1t would be hard to find a more
wholesome and effective method of
redressing two great wrongs than
the election of Tilden and Thur
man would be. Each has made
himself a brilliant and stainless
public record-Tilden as governor
of New York, and Thurman as sen
ator from Ohio. Each reprepents a
principle which must be upheld by
every citizen who loves his country
and hopes TO see 1T advance in hon
or and prosperity.

Washington, March II. Kellogg
attempted, this afternoon, an under
hand movement to smirch the char
acter of Senator Hill, of Georgia.
When, a few days since, a woman
from Georgia entered suit against
Hill for seduction, it was rumored
thatKellogg had brought the woman
here to annoy Hill, because the lat
ter, as a member OF the Privileges
and Election Committee, is writing
the report, to unseat Kellogg. The
story has no other foundation than
it was the natural thought of all
who knew Kellogg that he would
do such a thing. Kellogg, in aris-
ing to ask for an investigation of
the story, expected to accomplish
nothing else than to keep the scan
dial before the public. Senator
Thurman sharply remarked that the
senate had better business before it.
The question will, however, com e
up again next Thursday.

The Virginia legislature has
passes the 'Riddleburger BILL" re
pudiating one-halfof the State debt,
by the votes of the white repudia-
tors and colored republicans. The
democrats in body and two repub
licans voted against it. Governor
Holiday vetoed the bill. The New
York Tribune, which has opposed the
measure, feels hurt at this action OF
the Virginia republicans, and closes
a jeremiad on the subject as fol-
lows:
cit would not be a pleasant thing
for the Republicans of the North
to know that the men in Virginia
who stood up against it were Dem
ocratic Governor and democratic
sympathizers."
1t hurts the Tribune that just on
the eve of a presidential election
its party should exhibit their true
inwardness. The Virginia republi-
cans should have STAYED off action
on this bill until next year, and
spared the Zri6une'S tears.

Pleased with His Sentence.

The punishment of death, it is often
asserted, has but little terror for the
hardened criminal, who usually prefers
ending his life on the gallows to n lin
gering existence within the walls of a
prison. BY criminals, however, who are
not hardened, hanging is viewed with
repugnance, and some striking evidence
on this point is ailordcd by a scene which
took p ace in the sheriff Court, of Dun
dee, Scotland. A deaf and dumb man
was charged with an assault on his aunt,
whom he slightly wounded in the neck
with knife that he snatched from a
table in fit of passion. The substance
of the evidence having been interpreted
to him, he admitted its truth, but would
not plead guilty. His doggedness, in
persisting in his innocence arose, it was
ascertained, from the fact that he Ia
bored under the impression that he was
being tried for murder, and was sure to
be hanged. The Sheriff found the charge
proven, and passed sentence of thirty
days imprisonment. On the sentence
being communicated to the prisoner by
means of the finger alphabet, he could
not at first realize the fact that he was
not going to be hanged after all; but on
being assured by the interpreter that
his life would be spared, his joy knew
no bounds. Leaping to his feet, his
face radiant with delight, he danced in
the dock, kissed his hand several times
in rapid succession to the Sheriff, in
sisted on shaking hands with the inter
prefer, and was led out cutting the most
grotesque capers as an expression of his
intense happiness.

himself among a batch of 1900 or
1900 prisoners, all suffering more or less
from fever and dysentry. General Won
W, in passing through the camp, no
ticed the intelligent face Of the young
soldier, and, taking an interest in the
youthful prisoner, he took him into his
house as an extra orderly, and for sew
eral months Bernadotte performed the
humble office of brOsseur; however,
homesick. he begged to be included in
an exchange of prisoners and he left
for France. Years after, General Won
W was in command Of small Ger
man fortress besieged by the French;
after an heroic resistance he hal to cap
itulate. One may imagine his surprise
when, On delivering his sword to the
Prince of Ponte COrvo, the French Mar
ha threw himself into his arms, ex-
claiming: g. Vous ne reconnaissez done

Talking Across the Country.

IN, j, BuIdrtte.
1t is really pleasant to note as you
travel across the republic from Maine to
Colorado, how the topic of conversation
changes at State lines, just as the ex-
preston of faces and style of clothes
gradually undergo an a teration. Down
in Maine, when ! got away from the
coasts, heard lumber and the woods"
all the time. The men were in the
woods or the men who talked to YOU
had lust come out of the woods. Then
Won got to the coast and everybody
fished and you dreamed of dorys and
hake and haddock and things that you
never heard of before. When YOU go to
the bath you begin to pick up all manner
of ship carpenters slang Then you
came nearer New York, and commercial
travellers flied the air with mercantile
arrot. and as YOU he'd your way west
ward, you got into the oil regions of
PENNSYLVANIA, and for while Bradford
and Oil City, Franklin and Titusvil lie
talked bull wheel and pipe lines and dry
holes and heavy oil refinery, and tank,
and drill, and rigs, walking beam, and
derrick and pump until you could taste
oil every time you talked. Then you
moved along through Johnstown and
Pittsburg and heard about blasts, and
open hearth furnaces, and crucibles and
bessemer process and rails, wire and
ingot, until you left them behind, and
Indiana was talked to you about slaves
and heads and hoop poles and vencers
and hard woods and quinne and bent
wood and wagon timber, and by and by
Illinois got your ear and said "co-r-n,"
and you &c across the Mississippi and
out IN Nebraska, and heard man say
to a neighbor, Ben, where is that tim
Der claim of Johnson's?" and you heard
Ben reply briefly, " 12-l3-9," and you
knew that you were in country OF land,
and that eighties and quarter-sections,
and timber claims and homesteads, and
pre-emptions we're to constitute your
conversational pabulum for the next two
or three weeks, until you reached
Colorado and began to hear assay, and
dips and lead, angles, spurs and sinnos-
ties, and claims, and carbonates, and
that is as far west as have been, and |
don't know what they talk about beyond
there. But do know they talk land
