profitable religious miscellany.

SHERMAN VS.. THE SOLID SOUTH

~ don't see that it makes much
difference to u.s. said Virginia
Democrat yesterday, show this New
York fight comes out. We can't lose
anything. Conkling will fall very
suddenly below the political horizon,
whether he fails to receive the indorse-
ment at the hands Of the Legislature,
or refuses to allow his name to be
used after counting noses. The same
epitaph will be written over the grave
of Malone, when we bury him by
about 10000 majority this fall, which
we are certain todo. Ever hear what
Sherman said about the Solid South
before he left the Treasury"
"No. Was it anything goode"
"Well, it struck rue as good coming
from such source, and goes to show
two things: First whatradicalism can
do when organized by the help OF dis
sensions in the other ranks, and what
| it can't do under any natural state OF
affairs. When Cornell was elected
through The Kelly bolt, Sherman said
| to friend of mine who told il to me
1--WE repeatedly warned then and I'll
do it again for the last time. They talk
about the Solid South as If it was not
an element to be considered. They
forget the important fact, 1t has once
| practically secured the votes neces-
sary to elect a President. Next time
it will not do so, because ! regard
the election of Cornell as q certain
forcrunner of another split in the De.
mocracy of New York. Well &c,
our next President on this account
but don't believe we can run thu
gauntlet again. Before that tim'
comes you will see the Democrat.
in line for the plain purpose of self
defense, and when that is done TIT
Solid South will settle the controver
sy. As Mr.. Sherman has never beef
classed among the idiots of the coun
try, his prophecy will be watched
with no small amount of interest.

GEN. sHERMAN's SPEECH.


Az the meeting Of the Army of the
Potomac, on the:sth inst, at WASH
ington, Gen Sherman, In replying to
the toast "the Army and the Navy
took occasion to attempt the vindi-
cation Of his character, from the
charges Of vandalism contained ID
Mr.. Davis "Rise and Fall of the
Southern Confederacy,7
He referred more particularly to
the burning Of Columbia and endeav-
ored to show that his army was not
responsible for that catastrophe.
In the same breath, though, he
threw out the inference that should
South Carolina again cause q Federal
army to approach Columbia, and the
interests of the Government required
it, he would so act as to leave no
doubta rs to the party who did the
burning.
Gen, Sherman may say What he plea
ses but the desolation which marked
the passage Of his armies in Mississip-
| pi, Georgia and through the Carolinas,
weird. like, will follow him through
life and accompany his name onsthe
darkest pages of the history of his
country
This fierce soldier tries to showthat
President Davis order to Johnstons
army to retreat across the Mississippi
into Texas was prompted by an utter
disregard for the lives and sufterings
of his soldiers. ss.sa
Gen. Sherman, though, does no,
say that he attempted to. prevent the
violation of the terms of the capitula.
ton of Jolnston's army, whereby the
soldiers of the Confederacy were to bt
allowed to return to their homes an(
enjoy The peace which reorganiza
ton of their State Governments, by
the hands of their citizens, woult
have secured.
Instead Of protesting against thu
infamous Reconstruction, which hi
brother was sustaining, while Gran
stolidly directed it, he, Gen. Sherman
acting in concert with his commander
in chief, sent the Sheridans and tn,
Merrills to force the thieving Carpet
Baggers down the tllroats Of TIT
Southern soldiers, whose rights AM
liberties he was pledged to protec
upon his honor as a soldier.
1t is best, possibly, that the peopl
of the South threw down their arms
i everywhere, after reading Sherman
pledges. Yet,he permitted the tleach
cry to be perpetrated, and by so do
ing he justified President Davis wan
of confidence in the sincerity Of hi
foes. by his stern resolve to carry o
the war to the bitter end.
And it is doubtful to-day whcthe
