Special to the st. Louis Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, July 29.-General
Sherman returned to the city this
Nnorning, when your correspondent
called upon him to obtain, if possible,
a copy of the letter or letters ad-
dress to him by Gen. Hancock dur
ing the electoral troubles Of 1876. 1t
will be remembered that when this
letter became a subject of political
comment, shortly after the demo-
cratic convention, General Hancock
evineed his entire willingness that
General Sherman should disclose Its
contents. About that time General
Sherman left Washington, but during
his absence he has been assured by
General Hancock, if not directly at
least by gentlemen authorized to speak
for him, that General Hancock was
rather desirous than otherwise that
publicity should be given to the cor.
respondence. General Sherman said
to-day, however, that under no cir
cumstances should he do so, but that
he should have the correspondence
copied and forwarded to General
Hencock by the earliest possible mail
and that General Hancock himself
could give it publicity if he chose.

Census EnumeratOrs.

General Walker, superintendent Of
the census, announces that the emu
merators will receive their pay within
the next thirty days. Receipts will be
forwarded to each enumerator, who
must sign and forward the receipt,
and then he will receive his money.
Most people object to receipting for
money before they receive it, which is
generally a safe rule. But inasmuch
as this is the universal rule Of the
government, the enumeratars must
follow it out, and they entertain
no fear of losing their money.
Information received from Wash
ingten proves that many enumerators
had iuIt cause for complaint at the
rule which required them to go to the
county seat to file their returns. In
the far west some enumerators trav-
eled two hundred and fifty
miles to reach the county seat,
for which their pay is IS.

the Turkish journal which gave its
readers, not long ago, the following
brief biography of the English pre-
mier: His father was Bulgarian
pig-dealer in the valley of Kustendje,
and young Gladstone ran away at the
age of sixteen to Serbia, and was then,
with another pig-dealer, sent to Lon.
dou to sell pigs. He stole the pro-
ceeds, changed his name from Tro-
gadier to Gladstone and became a
British subject. Fortune favored
him until he became prime minister.
