THE sudden death of Schuyler Col

The sudden death of Schuyler Col
fax removes one who once filled a
large place in the public eye. As a
member and speaker of the House OF
Representatives during the stormy tines
of the civil war and the reconstruction
era, and as Vice President during
Grant first term, he was one of the
formost men Of the Republican party.
His retirement from the arena of poll
tics during the last ten or twelve years
caused him to be comparatively un-
known to the younger generation of
men IN public life, but time was-and
that not SO long ago, either-wh"n he
was considered one Of the men des-
tined to grace the presidential chair
before his departure for the unknown
shore.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TO JET
FERSON DAVIS.

Every impartial reader will admit
that Gen. Sherman letter to Secretary
Lincoln, the principal portion Of which
we publish in another column, is an
unusually interesting document, and
that the evidence it contains shows
conclusively that the real inspiration of
the rebellion was a desire upon the part
of Jefferson Davis to establish polit
ical dictatorship in the South, Ignoring
the popular Southern doctrine of State
sovereignty, and centering in himself,
as the official head of the Southern
Confederacy, all political power. Viewed
in the light of new and reliable infor-
nation as to the inside history of the
Confederate Union, it is an unusually
interesting contribution to the literature
of our Civil War.

THERE does not seem to be necessity
for prolonging the trial Of St. John at
the bar Of public opinion. That he
wanted to sell out appears to be pretty
we'll established, that he made his first
offer to the republicans and was re-
jected, and afterward ran his side show
in the interest of the democracy is
confirmed by his remarkable course in
the campaign. With the prevailing
conviction that he is guilty as indicted,
and with this conviction strengthened
by all the known facts, his accusers can
safely leave him to prove his innocence.
1t will require something besides his
ewn denial and the aftirmations of
those who undertook to farm out his
services in the late campaign.

"EAr FOR THE LORD"

having been conspicuously displayed at
a church supper in a Western city.
However Objectionable upon the ground
of reverence this business-like injunc-

the methods now so often adopted to
secure needed money for religious and
charitable objects.
This is the season of CHARITY balls. y
Almost every daily newspaper you pick
up gives long and elaborate descrip-
ton of one or more fashionable dis
PLAYS of this sort, advertised ostensibly
for the benefit of some institution or
other, undoubtedly laudable in its OBJ

sary financial support.

for instance, needs funds. Hundred.
Of deserving females could find in it
welcome refuge from sorrow, poverty
and affection, were it not for its de-

beneficial character, and seek to supply
the needed funds. Shocked as any
one of them would be by the assertion
that their charitable methods" appeal
more to their vanity than to their sym
pathies, yet the means they employ to

measure. The tide was all in favor Of
the bill and when the yeas and nays
were called, after a brief discussion,
only nine Senators voted in the mega

Harris, Pendleton, Salisbury, Slater,
Vance and Walker.
The prevailing opinion is that the

GEN. SHERMAN's letter, and the spir-
tied defence of Jeff Davis, which it
has provoked, show thas our rebellious
brethren of the South have not returned
as erring brothers, regretting their past
sins, but rather as lords of the soil,
demanding vindication of their con-
duct. When the Democracy get full
swing we may expect even worse.

WAIT until the Democratic party
gets full possession of the Government,
and then hear them justify rebellion,
and see them nullify the results of the
war. This is the spirit of their decla-
rations, as shown in the Senate this
week, in the debate over the Hawley
resolution.

GRANT TO BE RETIRED.
THE BILL PASSED BY THE SENATE

THE BILL PASSED BY THE sen ATE,
A very unusual scene for the United
States Senate was that which attended
the passage Of the Grant retirement bill
on Wednesday last. President Ed
munds was on the floor himself for the
purpose of calling up the bill, having
invited Senator Frye to the chair. The
white haired Senator's voice shook as
he spoke briefly of the heroic services
and lamentable misfortunes of General
Grant and he came near to breaking
down with the strength of his emotions.
Senator Cockrell, who always looks
at things with hard, practical eyes, said
he understood that Grant had an in
come of $4,000 a year, which was
quite enough for any American citizen
to live comfortably on, and he was de-
cidedly opposed to setting bad pre-
cedent, such as this would be.
The lean and hungry looking Maxey,
of Texas, followed in most pathetic
speech in support of the bill, and then
it looked as though the ex-Confeder-
ates would tumble over one another in
their anxiety to pay tribute to the com
mander of the forces which were victo-
rious over them.
The voice OF Senator George trembled
suspiciously as he spoke of the mag
nanimity of Grant towards a fallen foe,
and there were real sounds Of tears in
the tones of Senator Voorhees,, the only
Northern Democrat who supported the
bill, as he detailed how General Grant
protected Robert +. Lee as a prisoner
of war when Edwin NJ. Stanton wanted
to arrest him and throw him into prison.
