General Sherman's memoirs" have
greatly offended Gen. II. V. Boynton,
who assumes that the statements therein
made, in regard to himself and other of
ficers, are grossly unfair, and he there
fore accuses Gen. Sherman of conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman"
and demands the latter submit to trial
by court martial Gen. Sherman objects
to being court martialed for writing his
Memoirs" and the president declines to
order IL court martial. Gen. Sherman
asks Gen. Boynton to bring his suit in a
civil court, and Gen. BoyntOn replies
that no court except court martial can
take cognizance of the charge he makes
against Gen. Sherman. And this SQUAD
BILE is all because the general of the army
"wrote a book" in which he praised
himself more than various other officers
The way for Gen. BoyntOn to get even is
to write another book, which will make
BoyntoA the hero OF the war and show
that Sherman was military failure.
Then each can read his own book, and
we shall have peace.

THE OLIVE TREE IN CALIFORNIA.

The olive tree, writes the San Francis.
co correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
is the coming fancy In our agriculture.
Though we have olive trees one hundred
years old, and bearing full fruitage, our
people, unused to the table oil, felt no in
terest in ii till lately. Last year Califor-
MIA olive oil began 20 be noticed This
year, SO large quantity is in the mar
ket. and so manifest is its superiority to
Mediterranean brands in the highest
replte, that our foot-hill farmers see
fortunes in olives, and extended planting
is expected. The olive tree grows in
dry, scanty soil, and stands wintry
temperature of eighteen degrees below
freezing point which IS fourteen de-
grees Fahrenheit. It therefore may find
home in many of your southern states
among the barren uplands and stony
soils useless for other growths. There Il
thrives best, and there its oil is always
best II fears no dFouth It Graves no
attention. Slips are usually planted.
There are many varieties, and the seed
does not produce like fruit TO its parent.
age. Grating is practiced on this ac-
count though it is prudent, as in all
fruits, to prepare new varieties from the
seed.

We do not see why the king killers

There is an intimation in the Paris cor
rcspondence of the London Standard
that Hartmann, charged in the French
capital with connection with the Mos
cow explosion, is tO be sent either to
England or the United States. What
ever yearnings England may entertain
for so distinguished guest will not be
shared upon this side of the sea. We
have Hartmanns enough here already.
1t is true that we have no kings for them
to kill, but we have a plenty of discon-
tented folk who talk with murderous en-
thusiasm, in our lager-beer and other
potatOry saloons, of regicide, and who
have shown no indisposition TO disobey
what few laws we find to be necessary in
this land of the free. If they cannot make
away with monarchs, they can incite
mobs, fight corporations, talk mischiev-
Gus nonsense about government incite
strikes and make themselves generally
mischievous. With every desire to see
political liberty promoted, and regard
ing, as good Republicans should, with
dissatisfaction every form of tyranny
whatever, we have no wish TO see the
tribe of Hartmanns increase within our
borders. 4 warm welcome is ready for
all who here seek freedom and better
social condition; for all who will go to
real and not to merely rhetorical work
who are ready to become good citizens
of the United states, forgetting the things
which are behind and pressing forward
TO the things which are before. But

The Maine brigands emptied the state
treasury before the supreme court rout-
ed them. Every dollar which they could
reach was taken, and when the Republi-
cans came into power they found bank
rupt treasury. In II recent speech in
the assembly, advocating the payment of
the $4,000 which the GarcelOn raid
cost, the Hon. Eugene Hale specified
some of the grabbing which took place.
Every appropriation, he said, remaining
over with dollar was seized by the gov
ernor and council. He had occasion the
other day to look at an appropriation
for the female visitors to the insane hos
pital, and only about II third of it was
drawn for its legitimate purpose, but
every dollar of the other two-thirds had
been taken by the governor and council
for other purposes. One man had drawn
81, 900 from the high school fund for adj
vance work which he had never done.
Every appropriation which had any
money had been unlawfully pillaged in
this way, and no vouchers were left. 1t
was a clean sweep, ana the more the vot-
ers oe the state contemplate it the more
thankful they are that the state house
itself was left,
