Sherman Oh jefferson Davis.

4 special dispatch from st. Louis, No.,
says: At TIE 'house warming of the
new headquarters of Frank Blair Post,
G.. A. r., General Sherman referred to
the late wa, AS conspiracy, not \ rebel
lion or secession. General Sherman was
met IL his study and lie rea lily explained
the remarks. He saia The men who
lnstigateG the war were ccnspirators ard
should have been shot on the spot. JEFF
ferson Davis was in the employ of the
government. and when he sought to de
strcy it, lie was conspirator. | saw a
letter dated Senate Chamber, L. S, and
signed by two senators, Slidell and Ben
jamin, ordering the governor of Louis
lana to seize the Government arsenals.
Was not this conspiracy of the most
fearful kind? jeff Davis sought 20 es-
| tabliSh a Government of Southern gen.
tlemen who would rule the masses. His
desire was for limited franchise, limited
to land owners. The poor whites, ia his
estimation, should be crossed with the
| negro. Had he succeeded in his con-
spracy, he would have carried this out
| in the South and then imposed it on the
Northern States. He wanted to totally
destroy this Government aud from its
ruins build up a Southern Plutocracy.
This | know, that when once the
Southern States had formed Confeder-
alton he determined that they should not
succeed. His idea was not secession. 1t
was destruction. The Southern States
rebelied one byone, and then confederated
Davis bent his energies to prevent their
secession, and was willing to destroy all
of them before it could be accomplished.
| have seen letter which lie wrote to
the Governor of one the States, threat.
ening that he would turn Lees army
upon it if it should attempt to secede
from the Confederacy. From this it is
evident that he did not believe in seces-
sion, buJ that he wanted the destruction
OF the United States Government and a
dominant Southern ConfGtieracy. It is
well for you, it is well fer me, that he
did not succeed. us it meant cur disfran-
chsemcnt. HIS attempt was a base con-
spiracy, for which he deserved death"
The General added he believed that the
success OF the rebellion meant a constant
war of aggression on the part of the
South and the DsmHcrltic party.
