sHERMAN's AUTOGRAPH.

He Writes Quite a Dissertation on a Trite
Saying.
WASHINGTON, March General Sherman
has written the following letter to an autograph
collector, who asked him to write few lines
on the sentiment "The pen is mightier than
the sword"
WASHINGTON, February 6-Dear Mr.. Box:
Your long letter of the 4th is received. |
prefer not TO make scraps of sentimental
writing. When write anything | want it to
be real, and connected in form. as for instance
in your quotation from Lord Lytton'S play of
RIChelieu, 1.-THE pen is mightier than the
sword" Lord Lytton would never have put
his signature TO so naked a sentiment. Surely
| will not. In the text was prefix Of quali6-
cation:
Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Now, this world does not often present the
condition of facts herein described. Men
entirely great are very rare indeed, and even
Washington, who approached greatness as
near as any mortal, found good use for the
sword and the pen, each in its proper sphere.
You and have seen the day when great and
good man ruled this country (Lincoln) who
welded powerful and prolific pen, and yet
had to call to his assistance million of fam
ing swords.
No! l can not subscribe to your sentiment,
1.-THE pen is mightier than the sword" which
you ask me to write, because it is not true.
Rather, in the providence of God, there is a
time for all things, time when the sword may
cut the Gordan knot. and set free the princi-
piles of right and justice bound up in the
meshes of hatred, revenge and tyranny. that
the pen of mighty men like Clay, Webster,
Crittenden and Lincoln were unable to olsen
tangle.
Wishing you all success in your efforts,
am, with respect, your friend,
". T. SHERMAN.

II Gov. Butler really predicted third presi-
dential ticket next year, to be put forth by the

the public generally. The time intervening for
the organiziti OF a political movement of
national dimensions is short Ia about two-thirds
OF year the presidential tickets will be made I'D,
AMI as yet the field Is left to the two Old parties
Possibly Gov Butler believes that a man can be
found "ho will only need TO De put before the
people TO sweep things,-that ticket can be nomi-
mated which viii, OF It's own strength and without
any formal attempt at organization, command a
national following. But If there is such a man he

For years there was no city in the Union worse
ring-rid1en than Brooklyn. The entire municipal
machinery was USED to foster partisan interests,
ami consequently the people suffered. Two years
ago an independent movement, comprising men
OF all parties, elected Mr. Seth Low, prominent
young citizen, and a business man OF excellent
Character, mayor. So much good has resulted
from this election that the politicians now find
themselves pOwerleSs TO defeat him. All the
pledges he made when first elected were In the
interest Of the people, and he has faithfully full
filled them. Under the administration OF this
non-partisan mayor reform measures nave been
1naugurated and carried 90 consummatton. The
entire municipal structure OF government has
been improved. Old abuses have been rooted cut
and honesty instead Of rascality now character
lies local affairs. 1t is within the power of other
cities suffering as Brooklyn was, from rings and
bosses, to accomplish as much as she has gained
IL the men who believe in honest government will
CO. nerate earnestly TO achieve IL. And the indie
pendent and citizens movements now being or
gained In various large cities indicate that the
example set by Brooklyn will be followed in many
places. In New York city and Baltimore the nom
partiSans are preparing for an effort to put down
partisanship as the ruling element Of local gov
eminent. They may not succeed this year, but
the day OF their triumph cannot be very far on If
the good work is steadily persisted in.

The estimates OF the several candidates for
Speaker made by their friends respectively, differ
widely in calculation. Mr. Randalps supporters
run over the list of democratic Congressman AMI
name Eaiority for him, while Mr.. Carllsle's
friends readily count names enough TO elevate
him to the Speakers chdts, Those who stand by
Mr. Cox do not make such broad claims for him at
the start, but they calculate upon a following
amply sufficient TO hold the balance of power be-
tween Randall and Carlisle. The Randall men
count confidently over one hundred votes for him,
and concede TO Carlisle, at the very outside, about
eighty or possibly eighty-hve votes. This upon
the assumption that the race will be between
Randall and Carlisle. II Cox enters the contest In
earnest 1t is claimed for Randall that he would
still be elected on the first second ballot, and
that the bulk OF COX's vote would be drawn from
Carlisle. The workers for Carlisle count in their
list numerous names that are relied upon by the
Randall men. The several estimates when con-
sidered together go TO show that il Randall, Car
Isle and Cox all enter the contest In dead earnest
there IS prospect OF q triangular fight that may
be very lively and interesting. Ii the New York
delegation stands by Cox with the determination
to make him Speaker If possible. the chances are
that the contest viii be protracted one.
