He was toasted, and very reluctantly arosa and apokef aa lullawi much to the chagrin of the Grant followers present GEN. SHERMAN'S SPEECH. believe this Government will keen on growing until it spreads itself over the entire American continent but in to 'gain thia much desired end, and to maintain oanelves as a free and independent Republic, we have got to ahow more toward each other. It has been remarked by some aentleman who has preceded xae that it was generally con- ceaea Dy we toiaiers ot Dotn armies at the cloae of the late vil that if the questions and all matters of the settle ment of the differences between the North and Soath were left to the armies, it would become quiet and orderly.

I so believed and before signing the agreement with Gen. Joe Johnson, I called together all ine trenerais under my command, and without, a dissenting voice' they agreed with me. I believe they surrendered in good and would have lived up to the- very letter of the acrreement: and. in my. opinion, if there had been no recon struction acta of.

Con ureas, and the armies been, left at the time to settle all questions of difference between the different sections of the oountry, the people would have at once Become quiet and peaceaoie. I probably, have as good means of information as mostperaons in regard to what ia called tne Jia-iUux, and am perfectly satisfied that the thing is creativ over-estimated and if the Ku-Klux bills were kept out of congress, ana tne army Kept at tneir legitimate duties, there are enoueh cood and true men in'all Southern States to put down' all KttKlux or other bands of. mar i The Sun correspondent says i' These were just the remarks that his en trainers" did not want him to make, and there were many who doubtless concluded that they had made a blunder in insisting so persistently upon having a speech irona the General of the Army. It is difficult' to convey through a letter the exact impression made by the manner, as as by the words of the speaker, but it is very clear that he had no faith in the legislative mosaic called reoonstruo-tion acta, and that he did not consider the Ku-Klux of sufficient strength or conse quence to require the repressive agency of uio uiuiea states in lactone spoke contenptnonsly of the whole business in and out of Congress. In private conversation he was even mora emphatio and nnreeerved.

Speaking of the San Jkmingo.achemev he said to me: "We have territory enough more than we have use for. Ave can hire a coaling stat ion in the West Indies for three thousand dollars a 'year, and we had better do that-" If- thia had occurred in New York, the lave had the full remarks, if the reporter had to take notes on his shirt-cuffs; but here the newspapers did not have, the, enterprise to give any report.

The measure to force equality of color and race upon the rcbools of the State passed the House last week by a strict party vote So we go in these happy days of Grant, Sumner and company. On Friday the Senate refused for the fifth time to pass the appropriation bill. Odin's railroad bill was postponed in the House. The Senate bill providing for the issue of new bonds bearing eight per cent in terest, to take the place of the bonded debt ot counties, townships, cities and villages, which now bear 7 3-10 per cent passed. The appropriation billpassed the Senate on Monday evening after seven defeats The General Assembly adjourned on Wednesday.

The Morgan claims failed to be come a law by not receiving a two-thirds vote in the Senate. This is the decision of the Supreme Court in relation to this matter Two political measures much esteemed by the Radicals came to grief on Monday. A resolution to accept the cession of jurisdiction over the Soldier's Home at Dayton tendered by the United States to Ohio, was lost This was to get around the decision of the Supreme Court of the State, and make the inmates of the Home the controlling power in Montgomery county politics.

The energy with which the building of this great thoroughfare is being pushed forward ia an added guaranty of its early completion and its wise management. We learn from the financial agents of the load, Messrs. Jay Cooke that, at the present date, the grading is nearly finished for 266 miles, from Lake Superior, through Central Minnesota, tq.he eastern border of Dakota; trains are running over 130 miles ef completed track the Mississippi river is bridged at Brainerd and once more join, to the lakes by rail, and track lay ing is rapidly progressing westward.

By September next trains will run to the Red river, the grading will probably be far advanced toward the Great Bend of the Missouri river in Central Dakota. In the meantime work ha been com menced the present season on the Pacific coast a large force of men is already employed in the valley of the Columbia river in Washington Territory, and hereafter the work of construction will be pushed both eastward and westward toward the centre with such rapidity as the best in' terest bf the road may justify. Including its purchase of the St Paul and Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company has 413 miles of road now in operation, and before the close of the present season the length of the fin ished track will be at least 560 The new highway to the Pacific is being constructed at the lowest cost compatible with first-class work. Sexatob Carl Schubz received a fine ovation at the Southern hotel, St Louis, on Monday evening, from liberal Republicans and Democrats. He was addressed and welcomed by two gentlemen on be half of each.

He responded in an able speech, concluding We are not surrounded, he said, by the ordinary circumstance and incident of party warfare. The country has passed through a great and terrible conflict It must be the supreme object of solicitude to every pat riotic man in the bind, to whatever party he may belong, not to re-open and con tinue mat conflict for party advantage, but to close it finally and forever. Were we to continue that conflict then indeed the separate and sharply antagonistic action of parties would be in order, but if we mean to close it. that can be well done only by a certain union of co-operation and sentiment between them. Therefore am glAd to see the two parties united before me to-night' Nebraska, has a Republican Governor and other- State officers, and a Republican legislature.

The Governor has been impeached and tried, but the acting as a court, adjourned without coming to a vote, although the proof was conclusive. A little later, the State Insane Asylum was burned, and it is now hinted that the in cendiaries were connected with the State government. We believe that no Democratic State ever presented so bad a record as the Republican State of Nebraska. O'Doshavah RosfiA, the great Irish patriot, bad a grand reception in Pitts burg on Monday. He and others deliv ered speeches to a large crowd from the balcony of the St Charles hotel.

He sketched bis' imprisonment from September, 1865; till his late liberation. In the evening he partook of a grand banquet at lonngson's on Smithfield street. The. last exploit of Governor. Bullock, of Georgia, is thus related by the Rome Bullock offered $1,000 for the arrest Aaron, Lamb.

James M. Masch died at ten o'clock Friday evening, of general debility, at Alexandria, Virginia. He was the Mason of Mason and Slidell notoriety.

It is to be hoped that-Grant will not become as dizzy while "swinging around the circle" this Summer as he did when he accompanied Andy Johnson. An editor is occasionally found in favor of re-nominating Grant On investigation it is found they are all either crazy or holding office under Grant A oirrro man Grnni. Gsaht' rule" Centralised- Imperial ism." CUMULATIVE VOTING. The second election in Bloomsburg, Columbia oounty, Pennsylvania, under the cumulative plan of voting, took place last Tuesday week. In relarring to the quiet ness of the election, the Bloomsburg Cb-Inmbian says At no lime was there an observable crowd about the court house, and only 130 votes out of about 800 were polled.

The reason for all this is to be attributed to the cumulative plan of voting. Six Councilmen and President were to be elected. As parties stand here (nearly equal in strength), each could elect three and no more. Hence no motive for strife existed. The most complete harmony therefore prevailed.

Both the political parties had agreed that the old Council should be re-elected. The Democrats yielded the President in return for which the Republicans yielded one Councilman. A working-man's organization wanted representation in the Council, and they obtained it in defiance of all political parties by cumulating (plumping) all their votes (six) on one candidate. They are, therefore, represented and satisfied because they have a special representative in a body of seven supposedly fair men. There are sore heads, no regrets to be avenged in future.

No favors were asked, for there were none to give, and none wanted or needed, in fact every bodv. or nearlv evervbodv. had their own way and no room is left for growlers. Is it strange that people approve a system that avoids all strue and renders un friendly feelings, chagrin and spite impos sible? JOHNSON AND GRANT. Mr.

C. Norvell, in charge ot ad- vertising United States loan," in an ad' vertisement of the new loan, now on the market, dated Treasury office, New York, April 15th," makes the following statement The reduction of the public debt since the cloee of the war of the rebellion, and the relief, at the same time, to the annual burden of interest, are as follows Prineinal of debt. 1 Paid under Johnson suoausSTi Principal, March 1869 raid under Grant Present nubile debt "Paid under Johnson," paid under Grant" $223,083,673 differ ence in favor of Johnson, $42,511,698. So, then, after all the Radical condemna tions of Johnson's administration, and all the Radical praises of the financial man' aeement of Grant we have the Radical admission that Johnson paid over forty two millions more of the public debt than Grant The defalcation of General Lawrence, recently pension agent in New York, ex cites no interest in official circles. Hav ing been a "member of the "Military Rine" which runs the President, of course, no such thing as pursuit or pun ishment is dreamed of.

Besides, the Ad ministration regards a $50,000 swindle only a petit-larceny buaineua, unworthy of serious notice. When Bailey went off to Montevideo in broad day, with over a quarter of a million in his pocket of the people's taxes he was a favorite assessor ereat recrrets were expressed at his misfortune," and it is said that he carried with him the sympathies of the Administration, in hi easy exile abroad, as one more sinned against than sinning. Th Secretary of the Treasury report some twenty millions to be due by defaulting collector of internal revenue, but nobody thinks of prosecuting these loyal men, who are now mostly en gaged in crying out Ku-Klux at the South, and serving as witnesses to prove how cruelly virtuous patriots are treated- Daha, the editor of the N. Y. Sun.

was at one time editor of the N. Y. Tri bune and Assistant Secretary of War un der Lincoln. He ia yet a Radical, but op posed to Grant's re-nomination. He says The masses of the Republican party will never consent to the renomination of a man who ha bestowed high offices for costly gifts, has thrust all his own and his wife's relations, down to third and fourth cousins, into responsible and important places, and has allowed his foolish old lather to trade in Federal offices at five hundred dollar apiece.

Still less will they allow'the man to be their candidate who, without authority of law, ha dared to take part in the civil war in ban vo-mingo, and who has struck down the oldest and best beloved Republican Senator because he would not brcome a party to the usurpation and the swindle. Acoorsiso to account in recent for eign papers, great and determined resistance is exhibited in England against mak ing census return. A middle-aged man in Devonshire was fined five dollars and costs for refusing to make out a census paper for himself and his child, asserting that he did not know either his own name or his place of birth, and that he would not periure himself by making a false entry. In another case a gentleman, the possessor of considerable property, refused to allow the census of his household to be taken. Gov.

Alcorn, of Mississippi, though a scallawag, has made a table of murder statistics, showing that, instead of negroes being murdered to any extent in that State, one hundred and seventy white have been killed by negroes during the last two years. some cases whole fam ilies, embracing women and children, have been butchered. This is the real Ku-Kluxing all over the South, and the lying scoundrels of Congress know it perfectly well. A case ha recently been decided by the Supreme Court of Ohio involving the validity of subscriptions for church purposes. The general principle established is that after a church has incurred any liabilities on the strength of subscrip tions, subscriptions are legally bind ing, in the case decided the subscription was for the payment of a church debt and the court held that the subscriber was bound to A subscription may be withdrawn before these is an indebtedness, but not afterward.

The indictment against John M. West, for the murder of Seibert twenty-two years since at Columbus was nollied last week West's wife sacrificed her property to in demnify his bail. Since then he has resided in Texas. At the time the killing took place West was Jlerx in the Statesman omce, and Seibert a bookbinder in the same estab lishment. In a fit of passion he struck Seibert and broke his skull.

Just before the close of the last session of Congress, a bill was passed to pay Nicholas P. Trist $10,000 for his services in negotiating a treaty with Mexico, some fifteen years ago. When Trist went to the department to get his money, he found that Butler had beeif there leforenim and ordered the payment stopped till twenty- five per cent aa an attorney fee, had been deducted.

An alarm of fire brought her home to find few.months..oliibaby with one foot burned the other foot not much better.

The little sufferer died next day.

The girl, in an instant, was enveloped in flames, and in her fright ran out doors. Her father, and the other members of the family came to her assistance, and tried to extinguish the flames.

There is one thing, however, which comes in to strike a note of grief in onr common joy. It is the remembrance of those dew forms and laces that were with us in the closing servi cea in the old house, but who are not with us aa we enter the new. Their tears fell with ours on the day we offered the last prayer and sang the last hymn in that old heuee, but we don't hear their voices in our songs, nor see faces today. Some of them have gone, "into the building of God, the bouse not made with' hands, in the heavens." Blessed are our dead.

I 1 The Price of Gas.

According to the ordinance passed last March by our City Council and to take effect on April 1st, the price of gas for private consumers in Canton is thre dollars per thousand feet.
