Blushes For Sherman

Wo do not affirm that they svvore falsely tho first time, or that there was not probably a good deal of intiniidation, but it makes one blush to hear an American prominent enough to be a Cabinet Minister talking of the award of the Presidency through such performances as those at which Mr. Sherman assisted, and through which he himself was seeking an office, as a judicial proceeding. One is therefore not surprised to find that, after " observing them carefully." he " formed a high opinión of Gov. Wells and Gen. Ander8on," and " thought them thoroughly bonset and conscientious," knowing, as he must have known, that ten-years before Wells had been removed from the governorship of tho State as a scoundrel by Gen. Sherman, and that the private oharacter of both of them was thoroughly bad in the estimatioa of respectable men of the parties among whoin they lived, and that a Congressional committee had found them guilty of making improper returns on a previous occasion. The reply of Mr. Hayes to thia epistle is very creditable, but it is the only thing in Mr. Sherman's testimony that is creditable. The passage in which he (the President) says, " Het Mr. Tilden have the place by violence, intimidation, and fraud, rather than undertake to prevent it by means which will not bear the strictest scrutiny, would, however, have been read with much amusement by the two Ohandlers. This is what statesmen of that school cali " Sunday school politics." - New York Nation.
