Chicago, July iO.-"That man ought
TO he hanged. lie knows he Is lying
when he makes the statement he does,
and covcrtly insinuatcs that honorable
men have been guilty of dishonest and
scoundrelly acts
These words came with wrath from
Senator John Sherman at the Union de-
pot as he was about to take train for
his home at Mansfield, o., and were
drawn out by u charge brought against
him and others by james II. rlntt,
president of the Denver Paper Mills
Co., of Denver, in IA newspaper com
munication.
The charge Is in connection with the
passage by congress Of the law of 1873
dcmonctzing silver, known as the de-
munetization act. Mr.. platt In effect
charged that senator sherman, while
netting as "a member of the conference
committee on the bill, did, In con
junction with other members Of
the committee surrcptitiously insert
u clause in one section Of
the bill repeating free coinage
and struggled II through both houses
in II base, undetermined manner, and
that not member Of the senate or
even President Grant when he signed
the bill had the faintcst suspicion that
such clause was contained in the bill.
MIR. Plutt further intimatcs that al.
vantage was taken OF this secret clause
| by members of the conference commit
tee for speculative purposes,
MIR. sherman continued, "lle is sim
ply revamping some old charges that
were exploded long ago They even
failed TO serve the purpose they were
intended To and were pretty generally
laughed at by men Of both parties Why,
80 emineat democrat AZ Abram =.
Hewitt Of New York, when u mem
Der Of the house, investigated the
charges when they were first given
currency and make a strong report TO
the house to the effect that there was
not n word Of truth in the charges.
That report of Mr. Hrwitts | made
use Of in one Of my speeches when
called upon once before 10 deny these
ridiculous charges"

At the beginning OF the civil war u
great many people were quite ignorant
Of the pomp and splendor Of military
rank, and the Importance Of military
titles Their ignorance led 10 many
amusing incidents, one Of which Is told
In connection with Con. Ilardce. II was
at the time that Albert Sidney John
ston was in command at Bowling Green,
Ky, and Gen. lIardee was ordered with
his command TO that place from Column
bus Ky. Al that time the bridge over
the Tennessee river at Danville, Tenn,
had not been completed and the general
and his command had 10 be ferried over
the river 10 cars ON the opposite side.
When Gen. Ilardeo had crossed the
river supposing, Of course, that u spe-
cial ear had been provided for himself
and his military staT-he accosted Il
brakeman belonging 10 the train with
the question; where shall ! and my
star go2" The brakeman, having no
idea who the general was, or Of what
his STAFF consisted, after surveying him
and his sword thoroughly and some
what contemptuously replied: you
can go into that car there, and you can
stick your old staff out OF the window"
