General Sherman's speech at Hartford, at
the late reunion of the Army of the Potomac,
was largely based upon, and in reply to JEFF
Davis's history Of the southern confederacy,
of which we gave some account last week In
his alleged history the rebel chieftain tells
us that the confederacy would have triumphed
if Albert Sidney Johnston had not fallen in
the moment of victory at Shiloh. Joe Johns
ton and Beauregard, ON the other hand, are
belittled at every opportunity, and even Lee
gets faint praise. Davis sneers at Grants
march on Richmond, and denounces Joe
Johnston for accepting the terms of surren-
der offered him by Sherman after the collapse
of Lee\at Appomattox, and stupidity insists
that the war could and should have been con-
tinued Indefinitely.
General Sherman in reply, not only vindi-
Gates the great military ability and wisdom of
Joe Johnston from the aspersions of Davis,
buthe declares that the structures upon Grants
movement on Richmond are in contravention
of the military judgment of the ablest soldiers
on either side; he unhesitatingly approves of
Grants plan, and warmly commends the val
or and energy with which it was executed.
He believes with Grant that the true object
ives were the rebel armies they had to be
crushed by fighting, and it was of no vital
consequence whether he smote Lee in the
Wilderness or on the James.
After defending the Army of the Potomac
Gen. Sherman took up the charges of Mr..
Davis as to his own cruelty in "depopulat-
ing" Atlanta and burning" Columbia. He
shows from Confederate testimony that he
treated the banished citizens of Atlanta with
great kindness, and that the whole number
sent away was small. He shows that Columbia
was burned by the Confederates themselves,
as they subsequently, burned Richmond. The
testimony upon which General Sherman
bases his defence seems to be unanswerable.
The historical value of the Generals speech
makes it highly interesting. He is deserving
of many thanks for thus coming forward to
champion the character of the Union army
and the genius and heroism of its leaders.

An inquest relative to the killing of G. D.
Kidder by his half-brother, Dwight Kidder.
was held at Springfield last Saturday, the wit
nesses being the mother Of Dwight, Mrs. Will
iams, sister of the murdered mans wife, No
IA Griffin, servant girl in @. d. Kidder's
family, and two men who were in the vicinity
at the time Of the murder. The statement
Of Mrs. O. d. Kidder was taken by the coro-
ner at her home. But few new facts were
brought out by the testimony. The mother
Of Dwight testified to his excited condition
on the night of the murder, and to her efforts
TO calm him and keep him ut home She is
sure she saw Charles strike Dwight in the IA
tai scene on the sidewalk, but thinks Dwight
struck first and Immediately after a second
blow from Dwight came the report of the pis-
toll. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. G. ID. Kidder
testified to the angry words which took place
between Charles and Dwight on the evening
Of the murder and the fact of Dwight's con-
stantly hanging about the house. Charles,
they said, appeared to dread 10 open the door
the last time Dwight came, and tried TO have
his wife come down stairs and do so but final
ly opened 1t himself. Dwight came in, and,
after some angry talk, threatened to shoot
Charles like dog" Charles then ordered
him out Of the house, when Dwight said, 'spn
go, and you'll go with me-" Charles kept
hold OF the knob, but was drawn out, and the
door shut with bang. Mrs. Kidder opened
the door in time to see Dwight raise the pis-
tot and Charles look up at her as if bewilder-
ed. Then the pistol went of Saw no strik-
ing ON the part of either. Dwight cries much
Of the time in the jail, and refuses to leave
his cell for exercise.
On Wednesday morning young Kidder was
brought before Judge Wells for a hearing,
but waived examination. His bail was re-
duced TO $4,000. 1t is said, however, that his
friends have no idea of bailing him. The
Judge told Republican reporter that he
thought the boy would not be severely pun
ished, and perhaps would only be sent to the
house of correction.

The story Of the charge of bribery which
created such sensation in the New York leeis.
lature is simply this: Mr.. Bradley represents
an assembly district in the senate district
which Mr.. Sessions represents Bradley had
been voting for Conkling and Plat, Sessions
for Cornell and Depew. On Wednesday even
ing, Bradley says, Senator Sessions at the
Delevan House, offered him $1,000 to vote for
Depew for senator; and afterward, in SEES
sions' room, $1,000 was actually given 10 Brad.
ley by Sessions in consideration of a vote for
Depew, and an offer of $1,000 more was made
contingent on Depew's election. The money
was in notes of $500 and $50. These Brad.
Icy rolled up and put into his pocket. After
leaving Sessions, Bradley says he went 10
Speaker Sharpe and handed over the money
Mr.. Sessions acknowledges that he had con
Versations with his Aecuser on the senatorial
situation, but fatty denies that on any ocsl-
sion word was said by either about money.
On the other hand he says that Bradley had
before the talks referred TO, told Others than
himself that he had voted for ConklinR and
Platt as long as he intended to. and that there.
after he should vote for Depew for the long
term, The Albany Journal, with other lead,
ing and responsible papers, does not hesitate
70 say that the bribery story is a mere STAGE
Trick OF the opponents of Mr.. Depew. An
investigation was at once begun, and is now
IN progress, on the management of which
there has been much criticism.

s. M. Waite's case was, disposed of in the
United States Circuit court at Windsor on
Wednesday morning in the manner which we
intimated would be the case at the time he
was produced in court four weeks ago, the
prisoner pleading guilty and receiving SEN
tence. In point of fact it has been under
stood both by Waite's counsel and the U. S.
District Attorney that such would be the out
come of the matter nearly ever since the in
dictments we're found in the Circuit Court
last November. No other course was in real
ity open to the prisoner, because a conviction
on the charges of making false returns to the
government and false entries on the books
of the bank was inevitable. There is un-
questionably a general feeling of surprise,
tinged with indignation, especially among the
smitten stockholders, at the lghtness of the
sentence, and more particularly at the fact
that the sentence is to Imprisonment, sim
ply, and not to hard labor. All feeling of
this kind, however, arises from a lack of
knowledge of the United States statute touch
ing Waite's case. The national banking law
makes offences like those of Waite, INSIDE
meanors, punishable by imprisonment only,
for not less than five years nor more than ten
for each offence, and not felonies punishable
by imprisonment at hard labor. In fixing
the term of the sentence at six years instead
of making it ten years, the maximum limit Of
the law, Judge Wheeler undoubtedly had in
mind, as mitigating circumstances, the fact
that Waite is already, as he confessed to the
court, on Wednesday morning, ruined in
health, reputation and property. The SEN
tence is fully as severe as others which have
been given in similar cases under the U. S.
law. In the recent case of James A. Hedden,
cashier of the Newark IN. J.) National bank,
who ruined that bank, and entailed q loss Of
$500, 900, the sentence of the criminal was to
seven years imprisonment. fainter, the
cashier of the Atlantic National bank of New
York, Incorporated $500, 600 and received
a sentence Of eight years. Brooks, president
of the Merchants National bank of Petess-
burg, Va, embezzled the funds of that bank
in large sum and was sentenced for Ave
years. Other similar instances might be Civ
On. II there is any fault or injustice in the
matter, it lies in the provisions of the U. s.
statute and not in the administration of the
Jaw.

Waite's Condition and Appearance In
COurt.
Mr.. Waite walked 10 the court house on
Wednesday morning from the private house,
some 60 rods distant where quarters were
furnished him and his wife After receiving
sentence he walked back, although he be-
came somewhat exhausted before reaching
the house and required assistance from Depu-
ty Marshal Sprague, who accompanied him.
During the court proceedings he sat within
the bar directly in front Of the court, Mrs.
Waite sitting by his side. In addressing the
court he spoke in husky, broken voice and
apparently with great difficulty. No unusual
scene or sensation followed the announcement
of the sentence. Very few persons were in
the court room at the time, except the men,
bers of the bar and the panel Of jurors The
prisoner will be taken TO Rutland by Marshal
Henry on the rising Of the adjourned term.
