The Bay city Tribune, says: 'The
reports about the cabinet are that La
mar will be made Secretary of the In
terror. 1t is to be hoped that decent
regard for the feelings of the eI-sold-
iers will induce the president-elect to
insist upon having union officer and
not an ex confederate placed in charge
of the pension department. The ex-
confederate soldiers may forget they
were ever on the rebel side, but the ex-
union soldiers do not forget they were
once soldiers, or on which side they

Grants Opinion of Sherman.

From the illustrated paper of Ge n.
Grant giving his account of the battle
of Shiloh in the February Century
we quote the following, During the
whole of the first day was continual
ly engaged In passing from one part of
the field to another. giving directions
to division commanders. In thus
moving along the line. however, l
never deemed It important to stay
along with Sherman. Although his
troops were under fire for the first
time, their commander, by his con-
slant presence with thsm, insbired a
confidence In officers and men that en-
abled them to render service on that
bloody battle field worthy of the best
veterans, McClernard was next to
Sherman, and the hardest fighting was
in front of these two divisions. Nc
ClerRard told me himself on that day
the 9Th, that he profited much by hav
ing so able a commander supporting
him. A casualty to Sherman that
would have taken him from the fielC
that day would have been a sad on'
for the troops engaged at Shiloh. AnC
how near we came to thisi On tn,
9Th Sherman was shot twice, once il
the hand, and once in the shoulder
the ball cutting his coat and making
slight wound, and third ball passed
through his hat. In addition Il
this he had several horses shot durinI

WILSON'S CONFESSION.
Its Publication Reveals Clew that May Tend
to Clear Up the Murder Mystery.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 5.-The police place no
reliance in the story of murder told in Chicago,
yesterday, by John NJ. Wilson. The chief of de-
tectives states that no such murder as that
claimed to have been committed here has ever
been reported, nor is there any missing man
named Anthony Daley. The chief is convinced
that the Chicago confession is valueless, and be-
lieves that Wilson is insane desires free trans
portation TO this city. Portions of a body were
found in Wissahickon creek, at different times,
two years ago, and the matter is still mystery,
but the time and circumstances agree in no way
with the story told by Wilson. After a diligent
search through the records, account of a fire
at Chestnut Hill, such as is spoken of by Wilson,
can be found.
LATER-Since the details Of the strange con-
fession by John NJ Wilson in Chicago yester-
day, have been published, clew has been found
which may lead to the clearing up of the mys-
terry. This afternoon a constable came into the
city from Jenkintown, Pa, and stated that for
several years man named Anthony Daley re-
sided on farm near Ivy Hill Cemetery. The
farm belonged to his mothers estate and he
worked it on shares. In January, 1884, Daley
gave employment to a man who went by the
name of Sailor Jack and the men were constant
ly IN each others company. About the middle
of the month Daley's wife was taken i'll, and
she was removed to her mothers residence
in the vicinity, and during her absence
Daley mysteriously disappeared and was never
seen afterwards. few days after This, Sailor
Jack sold two horses and a from the farm,
giving as reason for his action that he had met
Daley in Philadelphia, and had been directed to
do So This was follove few days later, by
the destruction of the farmhouse by fire, and
the disappearance of Sailor Jack Chief of
Police Kelly this afternoon forwarded dispatch
to Police Superintendent Doyle of Chicago.

ANDY first call to mind the genial and gentle
manly Colfax. He was a young man of great
promise, nor did he dsappoint the hopes of his
statesman, the able jurist. John Petit was
massive bold defiant. strong and earnest in
defense of what he felt to be right Next was
the cool and calculating Dobson of large inner
ent powers. He was firm friend, a safe coun-
selor, an honest man. Near by sat the brilliant
young Carter, long since become the victim of
strong drink. One of his colleagues was Davy
Shannon, man of deeds rather than of words.
We also miss the plain face and fervid elo-
quence of David Kelso He was ready at off
hand debate. and woe betde the man who be-
came the subject of his whitening sarcasm. The
next on my roll of honor was young Bascom. a
man of blameless physique. Judge Raridan was
man of broad and varied experience as law
maker and jurist. Nor shall the name of my
quondam friend, Robert Dale Owen, be omitted
from this roll on account of neglect on my part
he was learned and logical, polite and courteous.
Nor shall we forget the name of that of
great promise, Thomas Walpole: he filled an early
grave. Our Ex-Governor David Wallace bright
and cheerful, though at the noontime of human
life, soon followed. Next was the tall and man
ly Judge Borden He a man of great

The brother of our popular President Carr, tall
and commanding in person, and ready to do and
dare for the right The name of Captain Gibson
must have honorable mention, too. He who
wanted gentlemen to keep their dogs up if they
didn't want them hurt but soon learned that
pigs at times need penning in order to their
safety.
Judge Kilgore, who1 seemed not to have
reached by cycle of years the meridian of lfe
is among the absent Judge Newman, calm
and yet courageous is not. George Moore, of
Owen, has left most enviable name as herit
age to posterity. S B. Cole was my friend and
