sHERmAN,s STOLEN MARCH.

Senator Edmunds Nettled by Sher-
 mans speech on the Preroga-
 tfVes of the President.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Some of the grave and reverend seigniors of the Senate are laughing in their sleeves at the way Senator Sherman stole 8 march on Sen ator Edmunds about the President s prerogatiye. Senator Edmunds caught 8 bad cold in the early part of the week. and it was understood that the question would be postponed until he was able to be out. It was known that he had carefully prepared a speech on the sub- ject. The question came up in rather a roundabout way, and Senator Sherman, leaving the chair, made an able and ex- haustive speech on the measure which cut the ground from under Senator Edmunds' feet. So the Edmunds speech will be 6 twice-told tale. There is no love last be- tween the Senator from Ohio and the Sen ator from Vermont, and Senator Edmunds feels rather sore over this little contre temps.
