We waited with some interest for the report of the proceedings of the gathering of the officers of the Northern Armies at Chicago, in the expectation that, we uiight see something in their action indicative of the maguani- moas spirit of soldiers towards honorable but defeated antagonists—something that would lusnire a hope of honorable peace, and the return of mutual conciliation, confidence and respect. But we confess that we have been disappointed. We have read the telegraphic report of the proceedings and of General Sherman’s speech,' and find our opinion of the whole affair expressed in the following -re marks of the Baltimore Gazelle. The editor says : “It is perhaps natural that the officers of the victorious armies which overran the ■ South should desire to assemble together from time to time to again congratulate one another on the result of the late civil war. It is true they were once wont to term their dis- comfitted antagonists their brethren, and it is a sad fact that the habitations of the latter are still filled with woe and surrounded by devastation ; but, nevertheless, the conquer or must sing his song of triumph. The heroic men who have been overborne in the cotpbat can afford to look with unruffled se renity upon the ovation which commemo rates their defeat The glorification at Chi cago, therefore, rouses no bitter feeling in the . hearts of those who are proudly con scious of having gained, against desper ate odds, a reputation for constancy and valor which the world recognizes, and which time will preserve for ever. But while they hold their jubilee, the officers at Chicago might content themselves with in terchanging courtesies and recounting the stories of their campaigns and of their do mestie joys or sorrows. It is scarcely worth their while to assail the South again, and to denounce her for what they choose to regard as political sins. Nevertheless, General Sher man has thought it opportune to indulge in such a tirade in his opening address of wel come. He seems to think, too, that argument is as simple a business as arson, and that all the political theories of Southern statesmen are ns easily abolished as was Columbia “My friends,” he said, “you did not belong to that class of our people in whose hearts was plant ed from- youth the pernicious doctrine of State power.” It may be a pleasant thing for a Major General to talk glibly about politics, but when it is remembered that what he dis missed so lightly was the doctrine of Washing ton, and of Madison, of Jefferson, of Jack- son, of Clay, of Calhoun, of Marshall and of Taney, and thousands of men, North and South, compared with whom Generrl Sheb- siae is but a pigmy in reach of intellect, and but a school boy in point of erudition, we can afford to smile at his complacent conceit. He further stated that he aud his audience were of those who “revere the Constitution, and who “believe that the will of the ma jority should rule,” and that in this they have discovered a panacea for “ills that have from the earliest history of the world ravaged aud afflicted the human family.” Yet the vast majority of tho3C who so profoundly Tevere the Constitution have approved of every violation of it which the Badical party has perpetrated, and they see, without remon strance, the people of ten States prostrate under a military despotism, and in many places ruled over by negroes. The great pa nacea, too, has somehow failed to produce in this country the soothing effect attributed to it. The Badical party, we believe, claims to represent “the will of the majority,” and it certainly rules the country, and yet the South is worse governed than a Turkish Province. A thousand ills afflict the South, and under the influence of the boasted panacea they bid fair to become mortal. It pays, however, to puff the specific, and hence this foolish po litical speech from General Sherman to his old comrades in arms and co-workers in Badi- calisrn. Newspaper Directory.—G. P. Bo well «fc Co., theNew York Advertising Agents are about- issuing a complete American Newspa per Directory. It is a compilation much needed, since nothing of the kind having any claims, to completeness has ever been published. Messrs. Bo well & Co., have spared no pains or expense to moke the forthcoming work complete. We understand the book will be a handsome octavo volume of about 300 pages, bound in dark cloth, and sold for Five Dollars per copy As the publishers are Advertising Agents, their issuing a work containing so much in formation, usurlly jealously guarded by those iu that business, shows that they are confi dent of their ability to be of service to adver tisers, or they would not so readily place in their hands the means of enabling every one to communicate direct with publishers if they so desire. The Negro Suffrage Amendment.—The negro suffrage amendment is not likely to pass Congress. The Washington Express says: “A canvass of the House, by some of its supporters, shows that it will not get a ma jority vote—to say nothing of the required two-thirds. The proposed amendment is pend ing before the Judiciary Committee of both Houses, and that of the Senate is expected to report adversely to it, and at an early day. Among those who oppose the amendment are some of Grant’s strongest supporters." Personal Bencounteb.—The McMinnville (Tenn.) Veto Era says: Attorney-General Mohleb aud John Armstrong, had a personal rencounter in one of bur* law offices a few days since, in which Mr. Mohleb received a slight wound from a pistol shot. The diffi culty, as we understand, grew oyt of some slighty remarks made by Mohler in Reference to some member of the Armstrong family. Departmental Estimates. —The depart mental estimates before the Committee on Appropriations for the next fiscal year amount to §300,000,000, which is very much in excess of the estimated revenue, and will be cut down by tbe Committee at least $25,000,000. It is expected that all appropriations for ex tension of public works will, be stopped, and the. sums for repairs cut down very low. [COMMUNXCAIK).] BABE OF CI*V STOCKS. To the Elilor of the Savannah Republican : Mb. Editor—Your remarks on the reported sale of these stocks are just the thing. I am a member of another* party -that owns one million of these valuable Gulf 'Bailroad stocks. You give me hopes that a public meeting may defeat the trade. We wish to sell out, aud will offer better terms. When you call your meeting of indigna tion, do head the call thus: Odious Monopo ly ! Sai'innah and Georgia to the Rescue of Alabama !! This would take like wild fire, and the valuable Gulf stocks, together with the Gulf bonds, would he all saved to the people of Savannah. Milledgeville. The New Y’ork limes says: “People in Ar kansas—men, wemen and children, trades men, laborers, and citizens of all sorts—are flying from—whom? From rebels, negroes, Ku Klux, cut-throats, the outlawed, the law less? No; but from the militia—a body which are supposed to be authorized aud enrolled defenders of life and property, and guar dians of peace and order.” This militia force is composed principally of negroes. Change in the Nickel Coinage.—A bill has been prepared, and will be submitted to Con gress in a day or two, which provides for a change in the design, and also in the propor tions of metals, in our nickel coinage. A great improvement is anticipated over the present inelegant coins, for the redemption of which the bill mokes provision. Thomas Weaver aud Bill Simfson, the thieves who robbed Mr. Jesse Dalton, of Oglethorpe county, a short time since of $10,000 iu gold, were arrested in Atlanta last week. Only some $2,500 of the money was found upon tbe robbers. Five degrees of divorce were granted in New York city on Thursday last. Why not abolish the institution of marriage as a relic of barbarism, a species of slavery not to be tolerated in this enlightened age ? Gen. Howard Mustered Out.—By direc tion of the President, Major General O. O. Howard is honorably mustered out of the ser vice of the United States as major general of volunteers, to take effect January 1, 1809. He falls back to his rank as brigadier general in the regular army, to which he was appoint ed December 21, 1864. He stands sixth on the list of brigadier generals in the regular army. He also holds the rank of brevet ma jor general, from March 13, 18G5. Diirld OFFICE OF THE Cl AND BANKING COMPANY OF GEO^- Savokkah, December l ?
