CALLED BACK.
Mr.. Harter of Ohio Withdraws His
Recent Pr0nunciamento.

Mr.. Harter of Ohio witIidraws His
Recent Pronunciamento.
A neat little family row is going on in
the Democratic family out in Ohio. The
party is not unit for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver though great
majority of the party does favor il.
Recently Representative-elect Michael ID.
Harter Of Mansfield, who probably shares
the financial views Of his distinguished
neighbor, Senator Sherman, issued u
call or pronunciamento for a inass-meet-
ing Of the Democracy of Ohio to consider
the question and protest against the Free
Coinage BILL Yesterday counter pro-
nunciamento was received from Mr..
Harter resembling, revoking and cancel
ing the previous one. Some of the Ohio
Democrats here, particularly the members
of the House, who, ns the most OF them
are for the bill. were inclined to resent
interference of the. kind referred to,
II Is said that Mr.. Harter's weakness or
fad is the issuing Of bulls, ulsases and
manifestos and afterward withdrawing
them. It appears to affect like the craze
for collecting old clocks or q rnge for the
possession Of peculiar pipes, except that
his friends can't get away from it, and
his party associates dignity 1t by the lofty
but unpleasant title Of arrogance"

A story Of sherman's March.

from LUHc0sfer inquirer 4NdlTdftre
II. X. Martin, who followed Sherman
through Georgia, relates an army incident
illustrative of the stern necessities which
confronted the hero of the "Nfarcl to the
Sea" who has Just joined his comrades
gone before in the silent tenting ground
beyond. During the campaign preceding
the fall of Atlanta General Sherman was
greatly annoyed by the mysterious disap-
pearance of number of Union sentrics
who were guarding railroads Within his
days n man was missing. Every night
the sentinels went ON duty with the belief
that before morning one or more OF their
number would be in the hands of the
guerillas or dead man.
No precaution or device of the Federal
officers fathomed the mystery or pre-
vented its recurrence. So old Tecumsch,
his indignation at a boiling point, issued
retaliatory order substantially like this:
IF any. more Of my railroad gnardsmen
are made way with by rebel glerillas will
issue matches to my cavalry with instrlic-
tions to apply them for seven miles on
either side of the army's line of march. !"
This threat, however, failed to have the
effect the General hoped for. Every morn
ing one man was missing, and that sort
OF duty became terror TO the stoutest-
hearted soldier.
There was nothing for the Union com
mander to do, If he would maintain dis
ciplinc, but 10 issue the matches, and that
he did without hesitation. Barns and
houses were burned for miles. Magniil-
cent mansions went up in smoke, and less
pretentious homes lay smouldcring in
ruins. Desolation and distress such as
war only witnesses or justifies, was spread
far and near. An affecting circumstance
was the destruction of poor woman's $
house with all its contents. AS the soldiers
marched by she stood within the glare of
the fierce conflagration drying her stream
ing eyes with an apron. This particular
regiment had received their pay that day.
The boys could not restrain the prompt
ings of their better natures as they wit
messed this sight, and with one impulse
they reached into their pockets and filled
the weeping woman's apron with Uncle
Sans greenbacks. Such is the shadow rs
well as the sunshine of grim-vlsaged war.

HIS CREDENTIALS PRESENTED.

The Credentials of one Waltham II.
Claggett as United States Senator from
Idaho have been presented to the Senate,
and the usual reference to the Committee

The credentials were unusual, consist

of Idaho to the Governor sin regard to
signing and ailixing the great seal of the
State TO the credentials OF one William II

ring in the Forty-flrst and Forty-second
Congresses and from the States of Florida
and Texas respectively, and which are ex-
actly in line with the present Idaho case
There doesn't seem to be any doubt but
these lrccedents will be followed and that
the Senate will scat Dubois as II did Gil
bert in the one case and Morgan Z. Ham

The first was decided by the Judiciary
Committee, then rs now composed of men
at the highest legal attachments and of
the highest character personally.
There was nothing OF debate, for every
body agreed in the propriety of the tie

Against IL.
A story was published in the lhiladel-
phia Pres this morning concerning Sen,
ator Cameron to the effect that he was
opposed to the confirmation Of ex-Gov.
ernor Foster as Secretary OF the Treasury.
The story related circumstantially how
the Senator had opposed the confirmation
at the executive session Of yesterday and
had approached Senator Butler after the
session, and spoken to him about opposi-
sition to the confirmation.
The Senator said that he had not
spoken TO Senator Butler or anybody
else about Governor Foster and
that, as matter Of fact, he had not at
tended the executive session. When asked
whether or not he was opposed TO Gov
ernor Fosters confirmation, the Senator
would not say; nor would he say whether
or not any opposition was developed at
that session. As Governor Foster was
confirmed II matters little whether or not
Senator Cameron or anybody else was
opposed TO him. Nothing but the truth
OF history Is now involved.
