sherman and Secession.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December 10.-Generai
Sherman, this evening, in answer TO a
question by an Associated Press repor-
ter, as to whether he intended to reply
to the letter which Jefferson Davis re-
Gently published in this city, said that
he nIightdO 50 at some future time, but
he should consult ms own convenience;
that Davis had not addressed him, but
the ST. Louis Republican, and that if he
made any reply If could only be through
the War Department. He further said
that he did not suppose any reporter
was at the Frank Blair Post the night
he spoke, as the Grand Army is an or
ganizatiOn only for the social inter
change of personal memories. Still. he
admitted that tie reports published
con aimed much truth, but not all. He
has most of his Louisiana papers to
make good his assertions Tat the Civil
War Was forced on The peoI lie of LOui :
ana by cOnspiratOrS in Washington.
and that during the progress of the
Rebellion Davis changed his views of the
doctrines of secession, and threatened
to use force in case any State of the
Confederacy should attempt what was
then known as -e9arate State action.
The General has already sent to Wash
ington some letters AID papers bearing
on the case. but as to their publication,
he stated that the authorities there
must be consulted.

Treaty Talk.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-The
Nicaraguan Canal treaty and Spanish
reciprocity treaty. were sent by the
President to the Senate to-day. The
treaties with Hawaii and San Domingo
have been signed. The terms of those
with Guatemala and San Salvador have
substantially been agreed upon, and
good progress has been made upon that
with the United States of Colombia.
The ratification of these treaties will
probably lead directly to negotiations
with other Am, rlcan powers and
colonies. Indeed, "a movement is already
noted in British West Indies to secure a
reciprocity treaty with the United States.
With the exception Of the Nicaraguan
treaty, which relates to the inter
oceanic canal, all these are commercial
treaties, and, though differing consider
ably in detail, they are all modelled
upon the reciprocity treaty with Mexico,
The injunction OF secreSy has fayOrably

be followed in respect to the remainder
of the series. It is understood that
efforts will be made to have these treaties
discussed with open doors, but it is
doubtful if majority of the Senators

Mexican Pensinn BIZ.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-At a
caucus of Republican members OF the
House, tonight, the following resolution
was unanimously agreed to: "ResolUed,
That the bill known as the Mex'can
pension bill, as amended by the Senate,
IS entitled to our hearty and active sup
port, and that we will support any
and every effort to have said bill
considered and passed at the ear
lest possible day" IT was also
determined that all practicable parlia-
mentary means should be employed to
bring the bill before the House for
final action. 1t was represented that
the bill, on account OF rulings made by
Speaker Carlisle, when il was under dis
cussion at the last session of Con-
gress, would be exceedingly difficult
to reach one portion of it being
on the Speakers table and another
portion in committee of the whole on
the state of the Union. 1t was hoped
however, that the difficulties might be
overcome, and ex-Speaker Keller, Rep
reSentatiYe Cannon and other promi-
nent Republican parliamentarians were
directed by the caucus to endeavOr to
devise a method for relieving the bill
from its embarrassments.
