Gen. Sherman hasplanned and is successfully carrying out a flank niovemont against the Congrossioual economists. A Congressman now receivea .f5,000 yearly pay, whioh his allowances swell to #5,250 but the general of the ariny receives f 13,500 yearly pay, which his allowanoes swcll to $ 19,278. This wasgalland wormwood to the Representativo froin the Tenth District of Delawaro ('r) and there was a general determination to " go for " tho Genoral's ijay and allowanoes. But Sherman has turned out all the parties, ball?, receptions and fandangos, night after night, and has made himself so very agreeftblo to the wives and daughterg of the M. C.'s that he has their iniluenco and their influence vill save him. No man can be more eharmingly pleasant than tho great commander, and the way he has chasseed down the middle in old fashioncd country dances bas been a " rnarch through Georgia " iuto tho good graces of tho teminine Congress. Why, in the snow storm of last Monday his own parlors were crowded, and a jolly good timo had thoso who were there. There is ïi o formalrty, no ceremony, no etiquette, but tho General makes every ono have a good time. His mafronly wife, it will be remembered, was a daughter of Torn Ewing, once a Piesideiitial candidato, undor tho sobriquot of " Tho Ohio Salt Boiler ;" but a noble old llomau, whoso wit and humor Mrs. General Sherman has apparently inheritod. Tipkins aroused his wife froiu a sound . sleep the other uight, sayiiig he had sjeen a ghost in the shapeof an ass. "O, let me sleep," was the reply of the irate dame, " and don't be frigntened at ynur own shadow."
