DEPEw ON GENERAL SHERMAN.
Eulogy Delivered Before the Legisla-
ture of the State of New York.

ALBANY, \. Y, March 29.-Over 5000
persons listened to Chauncey NJ. Depew's
Grafton on the occasion of the memorial
services in honor of General William I.
Sherman, under the auspices of the legis-
lature of New York, held tonight in
Bleaker hall, in this city. The members
of the legislature proceeded to the hall in
a body. Mr.. Depew said, in part:
The passions of civil war usually survive cen.
turies We cannot yet impart-ally and calmly
estimate the abilities and services of Hamilton
and jefferson. Tn names still stand for an
tagonistic principles and altagonizad followers.
But the issues OF the rebellion were buried with
its dead. That struggle was unique, both in
magnitude and settlement. II was an earth
quake which rent asunder a continent and
plunged into cavernous depths millions of men
and money, and the stackles of the slaves. 1t
closed and the survivors, freed from the causes
OF contention, were united for the upbuhding
OF the new nation Prior to the war we were
singularly provincial and insular, but we have
since grown to be radically liberal and eosnao-
politan. Thea our judgments of statesmen and
measures were governed By considerations which
were territorial or inherited. Now those who
were in the front and heat OF the great battle
can fairly view and freely weigh the inertia of
their friends and foes. We can eliminate our
feelings, our pIeiudiees and our convictions
upon the purposes for which they fought. and
contrast Grant and Lee, Sherman and Joe John
ston, Sheridan and Beauregard, as to the genius
and ability with which they planned and PLAYED
the game OF war, with equal candor ana better

The National League Of America Will Send q
Commission to the Land of Trouble.

NEW YORK, May 21.-An address to the
Irish people demanding unity in Ireland as
a condition of support. financially and
otherwise. was received here to-day from
Omaha by William Lyman. the treasurer
of the Irish National League in America.
The officers OF the Irish National League
have been in consultation on this whole
question for some time, and this is the re-
suit of their deliberations:
ITO the Irish People:
1.-THE hour has come when political strife
in Ireland must cease. The Irish National
League in this country, which supported
the Irish people and their cause. appeals
for unity and fraternity the world over.
Disunion must be a thing of the past. The
day for q grand effort of our race, for one
and in this battle lies in the support to be
given by Irishmen in America. and wherev-
or else English desDotism has banished our
people. This support Will be given only to
q united Ireland.
ITO achieve this glorious result we have
determined to send to Ireland a commission
fully empowered to represent the Irish
National League of America. 1t will be it's
duty to confer with the representatives
of the people there. and to insist on unity
at all hazards. The national convention Of
the league, held in October, 1881. which
represented q united America. resolved that
no support should be given to any faction.
We are confident that the next great con-
gress of lrishmen in this country will rep
resent not only q united America, but also
q united Ireland. The leauge In America
feels that the final result of the delibera-
tions of this commission will be hailed
with joy by every IrIsbman and sympa-
thizer with the Irish cause. God, save
Irelandp"
