Mr. TUG WILSON has very sensibly con. |

THE Republican yesterday published in
parallel columns two editorials from the
same issue of tho vile and veual New York
Times, in which the V. and v. made itself
out solid, malignant and stupid liar. This
it does so habitually, however, that it has
almost ceased to attract attention.

Now, if Folger was Geowm.'s man the
manner of his nomination would make no

Well, are not these facts suggestive and

THAT the late Mrs. Lincoln was not In want
Of ready money seems to be proved by tho fact
that Secretary Lincoln has given bonds Tor
$1S0,O00 as her executor.
{ The above item, or something like it, is
appearing in good many papers now. 1t
undoubtedly is fact that Mrs. Lincoln
was not actually in want of money, but the
poor woman's mind was Off its balance, and
she was continually haunted with the idea
Of poverty. This hallucination was, per-
haps, as painful to her as its realization
could have been.

SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN was received
with enthusiasm at the Soldiers National
Reunion at Caldwell Ohio, yesterday. He
explained that he would have been u sol.
dier had he not been called to the United
States Senate at the time when, but for
that, he would have gone to the front at
the head of brigade. The services of such
eminent civilians as himself, Zach Chand.
Ter, o. p. Morton, John A. Andrew, Curtin
Kirkwood and Others as legislators and
governors were as valuable as those of most
soldiers. But for Morton, for instance, the
Northwestern Confederacy would probabl )
have been formed; Kentucky would have
gone entirely over to the Confederacy, and
Indiana herself would have been as di-
Vided against the Union rs Kentucky ac-
tually was Morton was The great War Gov
ernor, just as Stanton was he great War
Minister. The services of able and patri
otic men in civil positions were just as ne
cessary to the success of the Union Armies
as those of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
Thomas, Meade, Farragut, Porter and the
rest of the military and naval heroes of the
war. John Sherman owes no apology tC
his country for not being a soldier during
the rebellion, but his country owes him
debt of gratitude for his Jealous and pa
triotic performance of duty as legislato
during that dark period, and since.
