SENATOR SHERMAN's bearing in the
matter of the so-called Suppressed"
Treasury report has been such that it
must silence all his detractors, bitter
and persistent as some of them are. He
was the first to offer a resolution calling
upon the Secretary of the Treasury for
a copy of the report, and has finally sue
ceeded in forcing its passage in spite of
the insincere opposition of Democrats,
who were in reality more anxious that
Mr.. Sherman should rest under suspicion
if the violent supposition is to be
made that there was suspicion-than
that he should have a fair chance to
clear himself. Yesterday they renewed
their policy of unfairness in new way,
by trying to add to the resolution a
clause calling for the testimony taken
in the matter, none of which was taken
under oath, and much of which was the
worthless gossip that floats about in ev-
cry Department. Finally, Mr.. Sherman
challenged the Democratic Senators to
move for a committee of investigation,
but none of them did so. Probably the
last has been heard of this matter as
one of the snbterranean scandals of pol
itics.-[N. Y. Tribune, Oct. 22d.
