The GREAT GENERALS OF THE WAR

The GREAT GENERALS OF THE WAR.
The only two commanders now
living who faced each other in max
ing the thrilling and crimsoned am
mails of TIE late civil war are Gen.
William 7. Sherman and Gen. Jo-
seph f. johnson. Grant met Lee,
Joseph aud Sidney Johnson, Beaure-
-.ard, Buckner, Bragg and Pember-
tua IN battle as chief commanders,
ami " them Joseph f. Johnson,
Beau egard and Buckner survive.
Meade, who met the terrible shock
of battle at Gettysburg, was borne
to the City of the Silent within a
short time to the imposing Southern
pageant that committed the dust of
Hood, who fought the last great bat
tie. Their campaign from Chata-
nooga to Atlanta and from Atlanta
to the sea, was the most brilliant of
the war, and they are the only two
great commanders who are left to sit
down and talk their battles over, as
they often do in the heartiest good
fellowship.
OF the many commanders Of the
heroic Army Of the Potomac, none
remain, with the single exception of
Gen. McClellen. Scott, Mcdowell,
Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant,
who in turn commanded that mag
nihcent army, have all gone to join
the great majority, and Longstreet
is the only one OF Lees great lieu
tenants who linger with the living.
jackson, Hill, Ewell and Stewart,
who were in every great conflict of
the Army of Virginia, rest VITA their
great chieftain at Arlington.
Joseph E. Johnson and G. T.
Beauregard are the only surviving
Confederate commanders who led
great armies to battle, and they are
whitened by the frosts of time.
Johnson has been in Congress, and
is now at the head OF the National
Railroad Bureau, while Beauregard
is bartering his fame in the market
place where lottery swindlers rob
the multitude. Philadelphia Times.

EARrHQUAKE-About twenty-five min
utcs to 10 o'clock last night an earthquake
visited Sacramento, but acted very modest
~ the waves being gentle and moving from
northeast to southwest There were two
shocks, if they may be so called, each last
ing a few seconds. Few people on ground
floors noticed them, but in the upper stories
they were felt very plainly. 1t is stated by
some that there was an accompanying
rUmbling sound In the composing room
of the RECORD UNION office, in the third
story of the building, the motion gave
some of the employees a feeling like the
commencement of seasicknesS, and caused

republicans ought /" send some OF
their best men as political mission
aries to build mp a respectable party
i'm the south on the ruins Of ancient
Whiggery and without reference to
the color line The Advertiser,
however, seems to appreciate some
of the difficulties in the way of &C
complishing such Al object, 1t says:

negroes As a race party, they would
of necessity appeal to the prejudiceS
of the race against the whites. who
are their neighbors, rs being those
who once held them in slavery and
who now Cypress them IN the use OF
political power This line of arGu-
ment would not be likely TO make
converts among the whites, and
there Is some question whether 1t
would avail as formerly with the
more intelligent and prosperous col
ored men. On the other hand, if
they should devote themselves to
the issues which are not race ISSUES
to civil service reform, the tariff,
the regulation of corporations, the
various questions of national finance
and currency, the Indian problem,
Interstate commerce, etc, the chan
ccs are that a large part of the re-
publican party, ~ it exists IN the
south, would not understand what
the talk was about and might be
driven into a condition of indiffer-
encc"
The paper quoted, says the Sa

situation pretty fully. There is lit

The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1885-10-11
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

In matters of public policy, Mr..
Cleveland Is one of the most consis-
tent of men. Especially in the mat
ter of civil service reform his re
cord has been straight; amid the OPP
position of politicians, factional
clamor from all sides, and threats
from many who have heretofore
been regarded as political heavy
weights, he has pursued the even
tenor of his way till he has become
the exponent Of the doctrine to
friend and foe, and his position car
ries with it the authority az moral
as we'll as practical decision.
Now there are some positions un
der the government for which long
experience or pcculiar fitness only
can qualify any man. When such
a man is found, Mr. Cleveland has
shown an anxiety to keep hIm in Of
flee whether he be a democrat or re-
publican, provided only he has not
been SO much of Il partisan ~ to
neglect his duties to the people, for
the discharge Of his duty to his par
". Not even The chief IF the mug
wumps would deny that NJ. Cleve-
land has amply demonstrated his
fidelity to the pledges of the plat
form on which he stands in this re-
spect.
There is another class of offices in
which the political opinions of the
president must be reelected or the
work promised by the change of
parties would be impossible. Here
the republicans have no more claim
than in the choice of presidents
personal friends, and here again we
have no fear of contradictions
But in the mass of small offices
throughout the country, where only
honesty and common business ca
pacity is required, the people must
be well served, while it is usual also
to prefer, other things being equal,
a friend to the party in power rath-
