WASHINGTON, March PA Sunday paper
has the following story about General Sher-
man. 1t deserves to rank under the head
Important, If true:" There is some very
curious news afoat in very quiet circles
concerning GeA. Sherman and his views
about politics. A general officer, not sta
toned in Washington, lately read to an
other gentleman a letter he had received
from General Sherman, in which the latter
spoke coldly of the Republican party, say
ing be had no love for it, and giving his
reasons. This General is one who has
always had Sherman's confidence. After
reading the letter he said: You know it
has been asserted that General Sherman
would not accept q nomination for the
Presidency. Undoubtedly he would refuse
10 be the Republican candidate, but he would
not decline the nomination If offered him
By the Democrats" Outside the immedi-
ate encourage of the late General of the
Army it has always been supposed that
while keeping out of politics his sympa-
thies were with the Republicans. The ina.
preston doubtless arose from the fact that
he was Grants intimate, the brother OF
Senator Sherman and the companion of
General Van Vilet, whose radicalism is un-
doubted. Coming as it does from gen.
eral officer, whose name, il it could be used,
would carry much weight, the assertion
that General Sherman would accept the
Democratic nomination is curious ii not
significant Can ii be that the hero OF the
march through Georgia would really con-
sent to he the Democratic candidate for
President?

THE RIGHT MAN FOUND At LAST,
For Whose Brutal Crime an Innocent
Nan Was Hung.

JACKSON, Ga, March 24.-Four years ago
two negroes were arrested in Hall county
charged with sssaultipg a white woman.
They were tried and found guilty. Oae
was hanged and the other sent to the chain
gang foI life. Since then enough evidence
has been found to satisfy the community
where the crime was committed that the
convicted negroes we're innocent. As the
negro now in the chain gang was q citizen
of Jackson county the residents Of that
county placed the matter before the last
Grand Jury, and after an investigation
they decided to request the Grand Jury Of
Hall county to ask the Governor for the
negro's pardon. There is OF course no
doubt that be will be freed.
The Jackson county authorities are also
believed to be in possession OF facts which
will lead to the conviction Of the criminal
who has been living all these years within
a few miles of the scene of the crime and
the execution. TIE publicity of the pres
ent discovery has caused great excitement
especially among the negroes, and there is
little doubt that lyncaiGg will follow il the
citizens learn the nGyue OF the real cVlpit.
The crime was an exceedingly brutal one,
the victim making a dtSperste fight with
her assailants. She was finally left for
dead in a small patch Of woods. The un
fortunate negro who was hanged died pro
testing his innocence, bat the Circumstan-
tial evidence sgainst him was SD strong
that his story was disCredired. Tne peyro
noa in the chain ganS has always protest
eG LiJ innocence.

in the food annals of the river, and is

at the rate Of two or three inches day,

Threatened Reduction.

Threatened Reduction.
New YORK, March 24.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad is leading the way in movement
that threatens TO have results of an extern
sive and notable character. The wages OF
all employees are threatened with reduction
and the number OF men employed is being
diminished. The engineers have consented
to the change, but the stokers, conductors,
brakemen and porters are -saitf to mediate
a strike, but not being members Of the
Engineers Union, the strongest and best
organized secret labor society in the United
tstes, have but little hope OF achieving
success.
A gentleman of extensive acquaintance
with labor throughout the East, says: "EV-
erywhere there are signs of Snrlukage IN
the wages OF the poorest classes, and trade
is notably decreasing. The Numbers OF
the unemployed in Philadelphia and other
large cities Is greater than at any period
within the last few years, and not only
are mills shutting down everywhere, but
short time becomes the rule in many hith-
erto thriving industrial centers. Railway
companies tend, without any hostile cut
ting, 10 reduction OF freight rates and
working expenses. Much good could be
effected if the companies would turn their
attention TO a general reduction of passen'
ger rates, so that unemployed labor might
move about more freely until q level is
reached. At present the higher passenger
rates keep the unemployed in cities alrea iy
ovsrcrovded and prevent them seeking
openings where they are needed"

ory Smith, editor of the Press, sends from
Albany, his old home, where he was for
many years prominent in the councils OF
the leaders Of the Republican party and ed
torof the leading p lper, review Of the Re-
publican outlook in that State in which he
refers to Arthur as follows:
The fret interest surrounds President
Arthur. Tais is hIs own State. His hopes
sbrOsd depend upon his succeSs at home.
Here his political skill has long been eXer-
cised. In the politics OF New York City he
was HI adroit and dex.rous master. In the
BIO der politics of the State be yielded an
influence corresponding with the city's pro-
portion Of the States power. Coming
TO the Presidency under the
most unfortunate and trying
ciTCur' stances, he has been followed and
wat,led here with profound interest-at
first with great doubt and even bitterness,
afterwards with a modified and kiudlier
feeling. The general tone towards the
President is one of sincere good will and
consi1, rats indulgence. The prevailing
sentiment of Republicans is that he has
meant to do well, and that for the last two
veers of his administration, while doing
little and lacking positive character, has
b. Ell better than was expected. With this
general feeling there is disposition to
treat the President with the Teot ec'fuI cou-
,rCeIalion which seems fitting in his o"n

"cHsT" AND TIE BOYS SCHEME
For Working mp second fern Boom
In New York.


ALBANY, n. y, March 2i.-It is the plan
of the Arthur managers in this state to
make q show OF strength right at the open
ing of the active campaign by holding at
once a number OF conventions in districts
where the Administration is strongest
The earliest day on which Congressional
district conventions can be called is April
0. On that day Arthur delegates will be
named in the Nineteenth, Thirtieth, and
Thirty-secord districts, where the Albany,
Rochester and Buffalo machines are in
control. The Sixteenth and Eighteenth
districts representing the Poughkeepsie
and Troy politicians, will follow the lead
and choose four more Arthur men to go to
Chicago. An effort will be made to capture
the delegates On the came day in the
Twenty. ninth district, comprising Ontario,
the home of Secretary Folger, Steuben and
Yates counties. 1t is hoped that the de.
cided start IN the race thus obtained will
give the President boom throughout the
state which will materially improve his
prospects in the counties where the issue
now seems in doubt. The anti Arthur dis.
triC's will not b. heard from until a week
or more later, and the friends OF Arthur
intend to Use the interval in loudly whoop-
ing ii up for him and urging in his favor
the seeming preference OF the people for
him, as manifested by the first half d1zen
conventions.
