GEN. SHERMAN don't seem TO be fortu-
nate in trying to extricate himself from
the charge of slandering Mr.. JEFFER
SON DAVIS. A late special from Wash
ington says SECRETARY LINCOLN, in
speaking of the SHERNAN-DAvIs con-
troversy, said he had received no COM
munication whatever from GEN. SHER-
MAN on the subject, and he knew abso.
lutely nothing about tho alleged CON
spiracy letter. If such letter is in the
war department, he said, 1t is in the
rebel archives division, the records and
papers of which are in a most chaotic
condition, owing to the small and insult
fcient clerical force engaged there.
Tho secretary added: 81 do not
even know whether such lettor is
supposed to be here or not. At any
rate, will not search for il unless at the
request of GEN. SHERMAN"

The wires tell us that Hon. JoHN IL.
REAGAN, in an interview at Washing
ton, stated that he had no idea Of being
appointed to cabinet position, and that
he thought it would be inadvlsabe at
this juncture for Mn. CLEVELAND to APP
point the late nfoderato postmaster
general to such position. The honora-
bio gentleman further statos that his
sole ambition is TO be governor OF
Texas. 1t is said that he has hitherto
expressed himself in the same strain to
citizens Of Dallas. He would certainly
DO most formidable candidate before Il

PRINTING SPEECHES

Every person familiar with conpres.
sional proceedings, is aware of the fact
that very large proportion OF the
speeches reported AS having been made
in congress, were never really delivered
but only written and leave given To
print, which is usually very cheerfully
accorded.
This is all very we'll and gives the
views Of nearly every individual menu
Der on important questions, which could
not be done If ii was necessary that SAID
views should be promulgod through
congressional life. The country can
read as well az hear, and generally tho
speeches are made for and to the coun-
try, As none but flrst-class orators and
statesmen can secure an audience on
either floor.
But it has been rocently--indeed only
the day before last charged by the Hon.
MR.. WARNER, Of Ohio, that the Hon.
JOSEPH d. TAYLOR, OF Ohio, had after
the adjournment OF congress, In july.
printed in speech, which he did not
deliver in the house, reflections on mem.

WASHINGTON MOVES.
A Forecast OF the Coming Week in Con-
ssppqs


gress
WASHINGTON, Dee. 1.-THE house
committee on appropriations intends to
report to the house, both the District of
Columbia and the consular and diplo-
matic appropriation bills during the
present week. Mr.. Randall has
expressed his determination To get all
the appropriation hills through the
linusea SO II SIS possible, so they NAV be
discussed by the senate at an early day.
Ihe Interstate commerce Dill will be
called up for continued discu sion
when no appropriation is before the
house. Reagan hopes 10 secure action
on it on Thursday. When
this BIN has been disposed OF
the friends of the Mexican pension
bill will endeavor to secure action
on that matter. They will
be antagopized by friends
OF the education bill. The senate bill
for tho admission of Dakota is
unfinished business, and its
consideration will be continued
daily after the morning hour until
disposed OF. A vote will prob
ably be taken Tuesday The
first special orders On the
senate calendar, and the measure
that is entitled to Whatever advantage
that designation confers, is the
bill to establish commission
to regulate Interstate commerce.
should this me sure come up 1t is
likely to consume the remainder Of the
week. 1t is understood, however, that
Senator Blair will antagonize it with
one OF tho labor bills. When the calen-
dar is reported from by the committee
on education and labor. Two
other measures are made special orders
for the week, but it is doubtful if thew
will be reached. These arc the bills de-
ella ing the forfeiture of the Texas Il Pa
ciic land grant ard the Joint
resolution proposing an amendmant TO
Tho constitution relating to the veto
power. The military academy an
preparation bin may possibly
be reported from the appropriation COM
miCtee during tho week and be
brought up for action in the
senate. The only other appropriation
bill before the senate is the naval bill
making provision for The last half Of
tho present fiscal year. The senate
prefers TO revise the regular appropria-
ton bills Of last session, and has asked
for q committee OF conleronra. The
house has not responded as vet.

The German white Book.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE third INSTALL
ment of the White Book deals chiefly
with South Sea affairs and shows that
German commerce still holds com
handing position In the independent
portion of tho western Pacific. The
only fears entertained are that Anglo.
Australian competition may arise. The
Book recommends an increase of the
navy and a permanent German cDnsu
ship in New Britain aud New Ireland,
and strongly urges the necessity Of en-
forcing re- 'pect for the German flag from
English traders.
