Washington, June, 26. General
Sherman is a very unhappy man. A
hit;h army officer who knows him well
declares that he is not what he seems,
in his bluff and hearty interviews. In
the first place ho really hates to give
up his position at the head of the
army. It has been his sole occupation
against melancholy or bitter domestic
disappointment He is the very life
of certain Washington circles, and he
has always been the hero of every so
cial festivity all over the country. It
is true that he is tired of "Washington,
and that he is anxious to go to St.
Louis. A soldier like ho puts a good
face on the matter, but that bluffness
does not conceal from his friends the
deep seated chagrin that preys upon
him. Hi;, was a badly disappointed
man when- his soryoined the Jesuits.
Mrs. Sherman, is a woman who has the
most personal ambition for the ad
vancement of her church. She is one
of its most active agents, and is in cor
respondence with the authorities at
Some.
General Sherman made a struggle
to stay in Washington after his re
tirement from the army, but Mrs.
Sherman was determined to go to St.
Louis, where the Catholic church has a
-wide and powerful field in which she
could have a most influential and lead
ing position. Among the last days of
his stay in Washington, the general
has been seen walking with his hat
carelessly slouched over his eyes. His
figure, which has been so erect, has
'within the last six months learned to
stoop. Those who have approached
him with the idea of his being gloomy
have always been repelled with some
rattlin? bit of brilliant chafT, indicative
of the highest spirits. When he is
settled in St. Louis Mrs. Sherman be
lieves that she will win him from the
frivolities of this life, and get him to
find salvation in the holy Catholic
church. Up to the present time Sher
man has got along without any religion
whatever. He said recently:
"I do not thing I noed any priest's
crutch with which to hobble the rest oJE
the way to my grave; but I can't tell
what may happen in the future."
He is now off on. Kis- last free pay
spelf, arid it is to be hoped he will have
R good timo on his last round of the
military posts.
A LKCTIUC OX 3IOU3IQ.VIMI.
Rev. John M. Chase of New York
spoke on the subject of '"Mormonism"
at the afternoon services at the Young
Men's Christian Association the other
day. Ho outlined the history of
Mormonism, treated of the manner of
winning over proselytes from the
lowest classes in Europe by the promise
of land, and told of the willful mis
representations of the mission
aries concerning the real principles of
their religion. The lecturer held up to
view all the iniquities of the system,
characterizing tho Mormons as a nation
iimong a nation under tho protection
of one flag, but rebels in mind and
deed. The blotting out of the shame
ful system was being greatly aided by
tho telegraph and railway acd one
fchould not underestimate the work of
the schools recently established by the
Gentiles, and to which the children of
tho Mormons, whom it has been al
ways endeavored to keep in ignorance
of secular matters, are beiiig sent. In
legislation, tho speaker contended, a
remedy could be found should either of
the two- great political parties- awake
from their passive consideration of the
subject. The speaker went so far as
to. express himself in favor of denying
the trial of a jury to Mormons, and
while ho admitted that such words
might be thought strange and unbe
coming as voiced by a minister of
the Gospel, the speaker prayed and de
sired it known that he wished it rev
erentially that God hasten on the day
when Mormonism and all its sinful
and debasing effects might be blotted
out from tho republic by the blood
red hand of war a last contingency
which the speaker thought not at all
unlikely if the other silent factors
failed.
.The New York "Sun" calls attention
to the fact that the present Congress is
so constituted that if tho Presidential
election were forced into the House
for decision by a third party move
ment, the rote by the States would be
twenty-two for the Democratic candi
date, fifteeu -for the Republican can
didate, and one state (Florida).divided.
Among the most rapid speakers in
the country are Colonel Ingersoll,
Henry Ward Beecher, Francis Murphy,.
Schuyler Colfax and George Francii
Train. The last two are the most
rapid in the world.
JFKOK8.
A fnw weeks since, at a murder
trial at San Jose, when the examination
of Jurors as to their qualiGcations was
commenced, the presiding judge said:
"There was a time when a citizen, who
had formed or expressed an opinion,
however trivial, would be disqualified
to act as a juror. The test then was
simply absolute ignorance. The con
sequence of such a test soon becomrs
apparent and the Legislature, in its
wisdom, has seen fit to change this rule.
Now the rule is that a juror, notwith
standing what rumors or publications
may say, is deemed competent if he can
fairly and impartially judge of the
questions submitted to him." In other
and stronger terms the Judge conveyed
the idea that a sensible well informed
man is better qualified to sit as a juror
in a murder trial, or in fact any other
trial, than a fool. The "People's
Cause," in reviewing the matter of se
lecting jurors to try criminal cases in
that Slate very justly says. A man
who somewhat boastingly says, when
asked the question, "Do you know
unything about the case?" replies, "no
I never read anything about it in the
papers; never heard any talk about it."
Such a man is not to be trusted to try
any case requiring good and sound
sense, good judgment and wise dis
crimination. A man claiming to possess
ordinary intelligence, in this day and
generation, having a .'air English ed
ucation, living within thirty or forty
miles of a county seatr who is so pe
nurious and takes so little interest in
what is transpiring in his county as
to be ignorant of the fact that a great
crime has been committed he is entirely
too ignorant for a juror in almost any
case. We would not want such a man
to try our case, if ever we were charged
with murder or a lesser crime. A
man who will not keep himself in
formed through the medium of the
press, of the daily and most hourly
events that are hourly transpiring in
his county and the State as well, is
entirely too ignorant to make an in
telligent and reliable juror, when good
government and the morals and wel
fare of a community are at stake.
Men who are so wilfully ignorant of
what is going on in their county, and
who pride thomselves in that ignorance
by failing or refusing to' keep them
selves posted through the medium of
the press, are entirely too ignorant to
have it within their power to say
whether a man charged with a crime
shall be hung or cleared; or whether
he should he incarcerated in a peni
tentiary for life or again be a free
man. Ignorance has robbed the gal
lows and tho State prison of many a
man who should have been hung or
incarcerated for life. When inteli
gent, well informed, well read, honest
minded men sit as jurors, the majesty
of the law is maintained and criminals
are punished. When ignorant, im
moral, debased, illiterate men serve as
jurors, criminal men go free.
Sammy Tililcn.-
In commenting upon tho letter of
Henry Watterson concerning his visit
to Tilden and describing in glowing
colors the robust health of Uncle
Sammy, a New York special is pub
lished quoting an interview with a
Gothamite politician. The latter is
made to say:. Watterson told what he
knew was not true in his story of his
visit to Tilden. The fact is the old
man cannot lift either hand to his
mouth, both arms being paralyzed.
He has to be fed, and his food has to
be literally shoved into him. When
he goes out he requires two attendants
to support him, like a wooden soldier.
Hi? days of climbing stairs and me
andering through corridors have passed.
Unfortunately I know what I am talk
in? about when I say that Tilden may
live in his present condition for four
years,. but h is apt to fall down dead
at any time and put a hole .through
Watterson's credit for veracity."
It is pretty hard to bring up a child
to believe that a circus is bad, when
Beecher writes to a showman (ho
gives him a free ticket) and says that
the circus is a big thing nnd he would
liko to go once a week. If the great
preacher of the world wants to go to a
circus once a wepk why should we fan
a boy with a piece of clapboard be
cause he wants to go once a year!
Somehow it is hard to run this world
by any regular set of rules or time
cards. It runs itself best.
The amount of freight coming to
Portland and the sound from Sanl
Francisco,, is gradually on the increase.
Steamers running on these routes are I
taxed to their utmost capacity, and
then a delay- of freight often occurs.
This fact constantly before the eyes of
the public officials in San Francisco
should teach them of the wonderful
development of the northwest, and J
make them more careful about circu
lating stories derogatorv to the in
terests of this great section, of country-

Fred. Donglos said a bright thing at
Boston the other day. Called upon to
address a meeting under the five
minute rule, he replied that he would
not speak because he could not make a
short speech that would satisfy him
self and had never made a long one
that satisfied anybody else. "I came
here," he said, "not to speak, but to
listen; in fact," he added, "I came
merely to give color to the occasion.
General George Crook is about fifty
three years of age, but looks little
more than forty. He is about five
feet ten inches' high, wiry as a grey
hound, and can outride and outmarch
any man in the American army. It is
a historical fact that he lived for three
days on no other nourishment than
tree bark during one of his campaigns
against the Indians. Ho has a fair
complexion, his hair is straight and
cut short, and he has a large bushy
beard, which divides naturally in the
center.
CohsideraWetlifSculty is encountered
in obtaining laborers on the line of the
railroad extension from Redding to
meet the Oregon and California, in
consequence of the approach of harvest
time, and foe this reason the work has
not been progressing as rapidly as was
originally proposed. Large numbers
of Chinamen, however,' have been
pressed into service, and the work is
being pushed as much as possible under
the circumstances. On the completion
,of the harvest the force at present oc
cupied on the railroad will be increased
and the work itself- carried-on as long
as tho weather permits. Tracklaying
has-already commenced, and rails are
being laid at the rate of half' a mile
per day. The roadbed is graded twen
ty miles and by the 1st of September
cars will be running regularly twenty
miles beyond Redding.
