TO RETIRE FROM THE SENATE.

Senator sherman to Resign in Order to
Publish the Generals Letters.
NEW YORK, May IA Washington
dispatch to the Herald says that Senator
John Sherman OF Ohio will before months
announce his retirement from public life
This information comes from an Ohio
gentleman who has been recently In
Washington and for years has sustained
the most inmate personal and political
relat ions with Mr.. Sherman. Arrange
ments will probably be made so that
Secretary Foster or some other gentle
man friendly to Mr.. Sherman can step
into the vacant seat.
Il is stated that the publication Of the
letters OF his brother, the late General
Sherman, will be the motive which will
actuate the Senator for retiring from the
Senate. The brothers were constant
correspondents during the years when
William Tecumseh was at West Point,
while he watched the gathering storm OF
secession In the military institute in
louisiana and during the eventful years
81 the war.
All the letters which Gen Sherman
wrote TO his brother the latter has
preserved and he believes they will be
valuable contributions to the history OF
the nation.

WOONSOCKET.

The open and fragrant manner in which
the laws regulating the sale of LIQUOR are
being disregarded, especially by Sunday
selling, Is arousing the Indignation of the
better portion of the inhabitants of this
city. A prominent pastor stated from the
pulpit last Sunday that he was informed
on good authority that 200 persons were
seen on the streets on the Sunday previous
more or less under the influence of
liquor.
A certain saloon on Main street, di-
rectly in the heart of the city, has n side
door not two feet from the sidewalk, and
q stream Of men can be seen going in and
coming out during the Sabbath hours,
where hundreds of persons are hourly
passing; and this incident Is only one Of
many These open violations of the law
at time when licenses are being granted
show the lax condition of things.
There are now over 100 saloons I'm the
city and the prospects are that more licen-
ses will be granted this year, as several
wholesale dealers from Worcester have
applied for licenses. and will make Woon-
socket their headquarters from which to
supply the inhabitants of their native
city with liquor for family use."

tablish n low precedent.

A Sad Death.

A sad death occurred IN this city on
last Wednesday, and that one so young
should be taken from the freside of
home in which he was so much loved,
caused many hearts in our city to go out
in deep sympathy towards the bervaved
ones. On that day died at the early age
of ten years, George Hayse, son of Mr..
Ira Chambers, of this city. His death
was asudden one, as he was sick but two
days from congestion of the bowels.
George was beloved by all who knew
him and was always piously disposed,
so much so that he loved everything of a
religious nature. The bereaved ones
have the sympathes of the entire COM
munity in this great bereavement.

laid bare AS young man he had he, n
oiSsolute. HIS attentions toward negro
women had been such as to shut him off
from the parlors of white ladies'. Irvine
IN roomy old house in the center of his
greaG plantation, with negro females to
any number at his mercy, as a slave
owner, he simply defed God and man.
With money for his defense. refusing to
receive visitors, OF powerful physique, all
those things combined to give him i'm
munity. Among those women one named
Julia obtained singular influence over
Dickson. She ruled him as imperiouslv
as ne ruled others. She gave birth to a
girl, which he named Amanda. This
child she declared to be Dickson's. and
he acknowledged its paternity. Dick
sons white relatives, with the exception
OF one or two, repudiated his attempt to
force negro equality upon them, and de
clined to acknowledge the colored wo-
man, Julia, in any capacity. For this
refusal these relatives fell under his NOR
tai dlspleasure. He never spoke to them
except with curses. His negro daugh-
ter, Amanda, grew up to young woman
hood and was educated in northern
schools. Having given her the benefit
Of scholarship, Dickson set about secur-
ing for her white husband, and by suf-
ficient price in land induced young
Bostonian named Eubanks to become
the husband of his black daughter. AS
result Of this marriage was two ch1l.
dren. This Amanda Eubanks then, and
her two children, were the chosen favor
ties in the will. Jeff T. Worthen, the
only white relative who got anything
like legacy, got it because he never had
anything but kind words for the rich
! farmer The other relatives named were
cut off with a pittance, and even that
they would lose if they took the will into
court.
The white relatives set up contest to
the WILL nevertheless, but the Hancock
county jury decided against them. Dur
ing the trial of the case the private hab-
its of Dickson were mercilessly exposed
Evidence was introduced to show that
Dickson could not have been Amanda's
father. Dickson's brother, Green, was
also brought into inevitable notoriety
The lawyers held that it was unsounC
public policy to allow man to cut of
his legitimate relatives for the benefit Of
such a brood
