A notable event in Chicago was the
gathering on Wednesday of the society
OF the army of the Tennessee in it's
eighteenth annual session. An import.
ant feature of the occasion was the eulo-
gy of General Grant pronounced by
General Sherman. General Grant had
himself been designated as orator of the
occasion, but death intervened and the
voice of the chosen spokesman is stilled
forever. General Sherman's address is
faithful sketch of the military career
of its subject and 1s filled with the
evidences of esteem which the second
in command always evinced for his su-
perior in rank.
The army of tho Tennessee was Gre
ated from the troops concentrated in
the west at the breaking out of the re-
belIiou. July 1lth, 1852, General Grant
was placed in command of the depart
ment of west Tennessee, which October
10th, was enlarged and called the de-
partment of the Tennessee. The army
of the Tennessee fought as the army of
the district of Western Tennessee at
Shiloh, and it assumed the name it has
siuce borne in the concentration of
troops at Pittsburg Landing. Then,
October oath, 1862. the troops in the
department of the Tennessee were or.
ganlzed as the seventeenth corps, and
December 18th, were divided into the
thirteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seven
teenth corps. This was the organiza-
tion with which General Grant finally
surrounded Vicksburg and compelled
its capltulation. by that act bring.
ing himself prominently before the ma.
ton as the man whose genius was tc
conquer the rebellion. A few
months after the surrender
Of Vicksburg, while the army
OF the Tennessee was still lying inactive
at and about that city, came the disaste,
at Chickamauga. The fifteenth corps Of
that organization was despatched tc
Chattanooga, under General Sherman, tc
reinforce Thomas and there participated
in the successes at Lookout Mountain
and Missionary Ridge. Later the six
teenth and seventeenth corps arrived
the twentieth corps took the place of the
thirteenth, and the four corps began the
Atlanta campaign, under General Sher
man, as the army of the Tennessee. Il
swept through the heart of Georgi.
to Atlanta and afterwards through
the heart of the confederacy tc
Savannah and then to Raleigh. where Ii
received the surrender of Johnston,
forces and the war was at an end. L
was the army which Grant made irwin
chile and which made Grant invincible

erals of the war and never suffered de

Here is northern idea. 1t is sug,
gested by the Bismarck Journal:
The best thing the Sioux Falls con.
vention can do is to adopt resolutions
condemning the legislature for appro
printing money for sectional meeting
and asking congress to do one of two
things, either to enlarge and improve
the judiciary system of the territory, OF
to provide for one or two state govern
ments as the people of the territory may
by their votes decide. Then the conven.
tion should adjourn and leave the res,
to congress and the people.
The distress of the northern elemen,
represented by the Journal dSer the
Sioux Falls convention is painful. Il
has been suggesting novel ideas ever
since the convention was suggested aud
appears in the foregoing to have reached
the climax of despair.

The California Sensation.

A most diabolical plot to assassi-
nate several of the leading citizens
of San Francisco has recently been
unearthed, and the revelations
regarding it which are being
brought to light reveal wiCkedness
contemplated most astounding, and
worthy place among the records Of
the dark ages. Four men have been
arrested, found at their "headquar-
ters," where proofs of their prospec-
tive villainy were discovered. One
United States judge, Congressman,
the may or of the city and several ill.,
iluential citizens were TO be made
away with, and "Chinatown" was to
be razed and the dwellers therein
murdered. A significant fact in coll
nection with the arrests Of these
scoundrels is-they are all foreigners.
The laws of this country are too len
lent in dealing with cases just like
this. When any such outrage is
contemplated and the villains are ar
rested they should at once bc sent to
trial, and upon conviction sentenced
to. death--and this whether their
plans be successful or otherwise.
1t is high time for the citizens Of
this country to be looking toward
their own protection and their own
interests. Our naturalization laws
/ .eed amending, and then to be stlici-
ly enforced. No convict or criminal
of any kind should be allowed to
land Oh these shores. Paupers
should be returned from whence
they came, and those who are allow

that in this country there must be no
