Gen. w. T. Sherman is evidently mad
because.Gen. Boynton, of the Cincinnati
Gazette, will not commence suit against
him for SANDER. These two hot heads
should fight it out like soldiers and not
appeal to the Courts.

that Boynton, of the Cincinnati Gazette,
will allow General Sherman temporarily

Boynton should bring the loose -tongued
veteran before the Washington Police
Court on charge Of criminal libel, per-

that he really means something more
than "talk."

Gen. Steedman, of Ohio, let's in some
light upon the hostility that Tilden has
been manifesting towards Senator Thur
man, Of Ohio, and Bayard, Of Delaware
1t seems that the inspiration of his hate
has a deeper significance than that they
all should be aspirants for the Presiden
cy. Steedman SAYS that Tilden was moi
consulted about the Electoral Commits
sion Bill, and that he die
not know of it until told by Hewitt
that it had been agreed upon
When he said to Mr.. Hewitt that he (Til

was answered that Senators Thurman
and Bayard were acting in their publi,
capacity as Senators, and would not con
suit any one outside of their sphere. Til

whole responsibility upon Thurman anc
Bayard. He now proposes TO have thei
