THE ATLANTA WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. AUGUST 8, I87e
BKNATOS CORDO.VR UVEXCEBILL
Our junior Senator ha* won applaoae
from th« heat people ana the beat'
j*»I*en* throughout the country by hia
determined effort to reform the internal
revenue service. No one but a party
politician will claim that our revrnna
eervice doe* not need the broom of vig
orous reform, for it is undoubtedly the
mn»t demoralised branch of the sadly
demoralised government. Gen. Gor
don's bill strikes at the root of the evil,
namely, the use of the spoils for politi
cal or jicrsonal results.
The first section of the bill provides
that all appointments in the revenue
de(tartment of the government shall be
to the lowest grades, namely, to the
grades of gaugers and store-keepers,
and shall Ire made upon competitive
examination. The second section pro-
vidrs that all vacancies which may oc
cur in the higher grades,those of super
visor, collector, and deputy collector,
shall lie filled by promotion from the
next lower grade (no jumping of grades
ln;ing permitted by the bill) upon com-
pctitive examination.
The remaining five sections prescribe
the mode of api»ointment of examining
h'tards, the mode and conditions of ex
aminations, and the modes of appoint-
ment and promotion. It is made the
duty of the commissioner of internal
revenue, with the approval of the sec
retary of the treasury, to apfioint,
a here the neeesailies of the service
nmy require, examining boards, each
l<» consist of “three freeholders in good
standing, one Jr»f whom shall lielong to
a different j*oHtnal Jparty from the
other two." The»e hoards are to ex
amine all applicants for the positions
«•( ganger and store-keeper in their re-
i jn etive lornlilicx, “whose names may
Ue furnished to said t»oard* by the
commissioner of internal revenue.”
No applicant is to lie refused examina
tion on account of adherence to any
political j*rty. It is made the duty of
the boarda to inquire, first, as to the
mom! character of applicants, their
reputation for integrity, sobriety, and
industry; and, second, as to their
intelligence, capacity, and knowl
edge of the duties of the positions
which they resj>ectively souk. The
hoard* are to report the results of their
examinations with their recommenda
tions, to the commissioner of internal
revenue, the commissioner is to in
dorse his opinion or recommendation
u|m»ii the report, and transmit the
same to the secretary of the treasury,
who slnd! indorse his opinion and rec
ommendation and transmit to the pres
ident, who may make his appointments
from the lists of jiersons recommend-
The examinations for promotion
from the lower grades are to be made
“under such regulations and in such
manner as the commissioner of inter
nal revenue, try the direction of the
secretary of the treasury, shall pre-
NrUM*," and the promotions “shall be
made by the president from among
those who pass the examinationa.”
The seventh and last section declares
“that it shall la* lawful for the minima*
s.oner of internal revenue, with the ap
proval of the secretary of the treasury,
^ remove all supervisors and all offi-
M>rH ' 4 lower grade, in the,internal rev-
einio dc)* r t,, l( .„i from office for inrotn-
peleney, lor of official duties,

money for political VwriHiscs, or f<
using official influence lot •(,„ BaroC|
hut not without such cause/’
The lietter class of journals liigTTy
commend the bill. The New York
Journal of Commerce says it will lie in
order “at some la tter time when reve
nue reform will get a fair hearing.”
The Lmisville Courier-Journal says
the hill |h(sm-ms the features of a sweep
ing and rigorous reform. The Cincin
nati Kn<purer pronounces it an emi
nently just and projH»r measure, ami
says it would he advantageous to the
government service if it became a
law. The St. Ijouia Times says it is by
far the la*st and most practical move
ment towards civil service reform that
has yet l»een made. “If,” says the
Times, “the republican jiarty was in
earnest in its professions at Cincinnati,
and if Mr. lliiyes was in earnest in his
letter of acceptance, the senate will at
once take this bill up and |iass it; if
not, it will lie quietly killed.” The
Philadelphia Times thinks the hill has
more air of business almut it than all
President Grant’* large, tentative civil
service reform operations, with Geo.
\V. Curtis' labor** superadded. We
have heretofore given the favorable
opinions of the Tribune and of the
Herald, of New York. And all these
journals have a good word for Geor-
g>a’s senator, who, by practical
statesmanship, is steadily gaining
ground amongst the liest men of the
country, lie may Ik* in advance of the
evil tiine* upon which we have fallen,
but he certainly d*H*s not proj>o.-e
more thorough plan of reform than is
absolutely needed in at least the reve
mic branch of the government service
Arm; trying to “regulate” matters
in the fifth congressional district, the
Savannah News at last frankly e< ■nfesses
to an astonishing amount of ignorance.
Il ow ns up that it did not know that
Judge Speer “had been prominently
mentioned” as a candidate,aud iteither
thinks that Mr. Candler is not a prom
inent candidate or that he can not
lieal Mr. Markham. We would be glad
tt. hear from the News on this point
As long as it neglect* to define Mr.
Candler’s status wo are at a loss how
to act, for if there is anything to lie
dreade in this woihl it is the Sews’dis
pleasure. The canvass will soon begin,
THE CENTENNIAL STATE.
S^khjB presidential proclamation of
TflfcMty embraced the twenty-fifth ac
cession to the risterhood of states since
the war for independence. Colorado
cornea in with a welcome, for although
she probably contains leas than 150,-
000 people, yet ahe has a future and is
foil of enterprise and resources. She
is not the creature of any political ne
cessity. In population she nearly col
lars Nebraska, and is certainly ahead
of Oregon and Nevada. The Utter—
an old stite, comparatively—had only
42,491 inhabitant* when the last cen
sus was taken. No wonder her repre
sentatives in congress are mining lords
who live in San Francisco or Wash
ington or New York. Colorado is no
Nevada. She is building railroads and
going rapidly ahead in developing her
great resources. In a few years the
older states will have no occasion to
grumble at the paucity of her popula
tion as a basis of representation in con
gress.
The constitution of the new state,
which was adopted by a vote of three
to one, contains all “the latest improve
ments.” It forbids local and special
laws in all cases where general law s are
applicable; forbids grants to railroad
companies, which includes of course
grants of credit in the shape of endorse
ments on railroad bonds; absolutely
forbids the lending of credit by the
state or by any city, county or town
thereof in aid of any person or compa
ny, public or private, for any purpose
whatever; names the few public pur-
jioses for which debts can be contract
ed by the state, or by cities, counties
or towns, and limits state taxation to a
given number of mills on each dollar
of valuation. These provisions strike
directly at the terrible evil of local and
municipal Indebtedness, and sre need
ed in the older states fully as much as
Colorado.
Amongst the other peculiar pro vis
ion* of her organic law is one that for
bids railroad companies to consolidate
franchises when each ow n parallel or
convicting lines. It also provides that
such correlations shall not make an
undue or unreasonable discrimination
in charges for transportation within the
State. No sectarian doctrines shall lie
taught in the public schools; and no
appropriations shall lie made on behalf
of any church or sectarian society.
Compulsory education may be enforced
by the legislature.
These provisions are sufficient to
show that No. 38 starts off with a great
many wise safeguards,prompted by the
sore experience of her older sisters
Her charter-makers have evidently
searched the records, and appropriated
all the good they could find, with pos
sibly an evil or two in some of tfie
glowing reforms. What Colorado
has done, Georgia may liave an oppor
tunity to do; and in that event we
hope no 'prentice hands will be
put at the new instrument; for wisdom
is nowhere more needed than in a con
stitutional convention.
OUR 5EXT GOVERNOR.
id the
lipid
s she
The action of the convention yester
day in n ntnimously electing General
Alfred II. Colquitt as the democratic
candidate for governor, was foreshad
owed by the Constitution for a month
|iast It was manifest long before the
assembling of the convention that such
would lie the result, and the harmony
which prevailed demonstrates the
fact that the people** choice
has been selected. Tne unanimity of
selection also dissipates all doubt
to any inde|>endent candidacy, for
rtainlv any man not actually insane
mill attempt to appose the candidate
the democratic party put forward
under such auspices. It insures his
lection by at least fifty thousand ina
nity, if indeed there is any opposi-
at all even from the radical
party.
ieneral Alfred II. Colquitt, who is
honorably and enthusiastically pre
sented as the standard bearer of the
democracy in the gubernatorial contort,
and who is thus virtually made the
next governor of Georgia, is a gentle
man whose moral worth is too well
known to the people of this state to
need any delineation at our hands, llis
haracter as a Christian ami a gentle
man, gentle of heart and manners, no
ble alike m thought and action, is
know n to every Georgian,and the love
the people for him here has its key
note and inspiration. The name lie
hears, illustrious in the annals
of Georgia, has not been stained bv his
life but has been kept unspotted ami
undiminishe in lustre and sacredness
to his state and country. Elected early
in life to congress, he retired from office
ngainst tfie urgent desire of his constit
uents, anil illustrated in tlie quiet life of
Georgia planter the virtues, and mod
esty, which have ever characterized
him.
In ISfll he entered the army, liecom-
ng Colonel of the 6th Georgia regiment.
He served through tne war gallantly,
parsing through numerous battles,
aud is known na the hero of a brilliant
iclory on the field of OInstee. Asa
general he commanded the confidence
of his soldiers just as in peace he elicits
the respectand esteem of his neighbors
and fellow cilisen*.
Since the war, which left his private
fortunes in ruin, he has earnestly striv
not merely to rebuild
own estate, but that of his stricken
people. His labors in their be
half, for the different enterprise
looking to the prosperity c
our agricultural interests, hav
been unremitting, and yesterday’
Id bo explicit and WO rk in the Convention is clearly due
to the people’s recognition ot his self-
sacrificing effort* in their behalf. The
industries of the slate have found in
him a glorious champion, and he has
equally distinguished himself by his
devotion to the moral and religious in
terests of the commonwealth. A gen
tleman of earnestness, zeal, intelli
gence, and lofty virtue, we believe he
will make a governor, of which all
Georgians w ill be proud.
\Ve congratulate the people of the
south upon the unanimity of the selec
tion and upon the high character and
abilities of the nominee, and the Con
stitution will do it*part with the press
of Georgia in electing Alired H. Col
quitt our next governor by an over
whelming majority, or without oppo
sition. _
THE PLATFORM.
The work of the convention, so har
moniously begun, continued and end
ed yesterday, was nobly rounded out
by the earnest declarations of the plat
form. These declarations will strength
en the hands of democrats every where;
for they grapple with the issues that
face us to-day, and leave untouched ail
dead, immaterial or sentimental mat
ters that do not now greatly concern us.
The vital issues of the present are pre
sented in such clear, brief and brave
lines, that not a single word can be
added to or taken from the platform
without detriment. It is perfect as it
stands, and the democrats of Georgia
will uphold and fulfill its pledges.
After cordially endorsing the St. Lou-
is nominations, the convention adopt
ed the watchword of the St. Louis plat
form, Reform, to send it over the state
and the country anew backed with the
enthusiastic support of the invincible
democracy of Georgia. The platform
puts the intelligence, virtue and enter
prise of the state in line with the party
that is marching to victory,
bringing peace, honest ad
ministration and constitutional
methods of government in its wake.
We are now keeping step to St. Louis
music, and at our head is unfurled the
banner of retrenchment and reform
that is destined to scatter all thieves
and tyrants in public places.
The convention did.well to,pledge the
nominee of the party and the party
itself to a policy of retrenchment and
reform in affairs of the state, thus giv
ing the principles enunciated at St
Louis a local as well as a national ap
plication. Gen. Colquitt will there*
fore assumethe duties of governor on the
express condition, that he is to use all
ills influence and (lower to reduce taxa
tion, lessen the public expenditures!
and lift, as far as in him lies, the incu
bus of “hard times” from the people.
He can lie relied on for all that.
The sum and substance of the brief
but comprehensive document is re
trenchment iu all public expenditures,
and reform in all public affairs. This is
the platform in a sentence, and we
want no better. No patriot can want
a better one. It meets the evils of the
times, and j'ledges the party and its
nominees to the only remedies that the
situation demands or admits of. The
conventions of St Louis and Atlanta
have (pven us the nominees that we
desired, and a set of principles that we
can heartily sustain. Let us now do
our part—let us organize in every
county and in every militia
district, to the end that we
may on the first Wednesday in Oc
tober triumphantly elect our nom
inee thus giving practical effect
to the principles adopted in yester
day’s convention, while we electrify
the jiarty Irom Maine to Texas and
nerve our fellow-democrats in Ohio and
Indiana to extra effort in the eventful
week that follows the election in Geor

Tine grasshoppers apjieared on Mr.
Herring’s plantation, near Covington,
very early in their Georgia campaign.
They attacked Mr. Herring’s acres in
fact at the very outset; and here is what
the tCovington Star of the second
instant, says of them:
The alarm mated by the appearance of the
gnaahoppen In the cotton fit Ida. laat week. bar

comparatively little damage has been done by

ing. M«ny of them were destroyed by bu ning,
aud other* have died or disappeared, and all
fear that they will catsup the country has en
tirely subsided. They may have deposited thsir
eggs* and will visit u* in greater numbers no
year but for the present we feel sure there is
causefor further alarm on account of them.
The western Tex** paper* M l,y
those of ambitious San Antonio, are de
manding the formation of a new state,
to be called West Texas. The San An
tonia Herald insists that the time has
arrived for carrying out the original
stipulation that Texas should be di
vided into four states whenever the
population would justify such a step.
A vast number of small retrench
ment* have enabled the democrats of
the house of representatives to save the
tax-payers nearly forty millions a year,
and next year they will lie in a posi
tion to make greater and broader re
ductions. Those who are afflicted by
the reductions are not imjiarlial judges
of the work of the house.

night it was unusua ly interesting. W.
M. Howard, of Honduras, led off in
his usual terse and vigorous style in
the discussion of the expediency of pro
hibiting woman suffrage. He espous
ed the affirmative and is always an able
champion.
Geo. D. Thomas, of Athens, followed
for the negative in one of the best if not
the best speech of the evening. Witty,
spirited and beautiful, it yet had a
backbone of argument that was very
substantial and hard to break.
Young Thompson, of Gainesville,
took up the affirmative cause, and sus
tained it and his reputation in an able
speech.
He was followed by M. S. Morris, of
Atlanta, who, as usual, reduced every
thing to a mathematical analysis before
ling to argument.
M. Henry closed the affirmative
side in a strong and vigorous argu
ment, clothed in chaste and vigorous
language: He is considered one of the
best debaters in the society.
H. Starnes, of Augusta, was the last
speaker on the negative, and his
appearance was greeted with
expressions of popular good will, lie
spoke eighteen minntes at a very late
hour, and kept the attention of his au
dience throughout His speech rank
ed with George Thomas as the best of
the evening.
General A. R. Lawton, who had pre
sided over the debate, now rose, and
after a few felicitous and well received
remarks, gave his decision in favor ol
tfie affirmative, which was the Demos-
thenenian side. It is a singular fuct
that the decision of the champion de
bate has constantly alternated between
these two societies, never giving one
superior prominence by continued vic
tory.

Athens, July 31.
The sojiliomore exhibition this morn
ing was the best here for years. We
are well aware that your readers have
met this sentence frequently in com*
mencement reports, but we unhesitat
ingly sav that in our exjierience of col
lege* declamations, we have never heard
one so generally successful as that which
closed the sophomore “year of ’76.”
After the usual introductory cere
monies, S. M. Walker, of Dalton, de
livered “Eloquence” in fine style.
J. E. Atkinson—Napoleon.
J. H. Jackson, of Augnsta, elicited
shower of bouquets by his dignified and
really excellent declamation of an
extract from one of Ben Hill's speeches
on the constitution.
S. W. White, of Milledgeville, attrac
ted the attention of the audience and
sustained himself throughout. He
considered one of the brightest boy
in college.
J. W. Morris of Athens reflected
credit upon himself and his father’
training by his handsome rendition of
“Moloch’s address.”
H. P. Cooper, Washington,Ga., spoke
gracefully and well. His conception
was good and his delivery very tine.
A. W. Jones, of Athens, spoke
“Ilayne’s reply to Webster.”
D.* A. Walker, Dalton, declaimed
Webster’s reply to Hayne in a good
style.
C. S. Floyd —Forsyth—subject,
“Washington.” His enunciation was
distinct and clear.
B. H. Noble—Athens—was much ap
plauded on his delivery of the celebra
ted defense of Robert Emmett. A good
many think Blount will be one ot the
medalists.
J. H. Alexander—Rome—is a fine
looking intelligent young man, and
prisoners so Industriously spread abroad crew
untrue.
Mr. Hill gave a passing stroke to the Freed
man's bank, charsing its management with
stealing nearly every dollar the deluded negroes
had placed in thir hands.
He complimented Tilden and Hendricks
warm’y^iving it as his opinion that the chances
were very favorable to their election. The ad
dress wss closed with a handsome tribute to
General Colquitt and an earnest appeal to the
democracy of Georgia to put nobody bat good
men in office, and never let rife or dissension
break their ranks.
HON. R. J. MOSKS.
In response to frequent calls, Hon. It J. Moses
of Columbus next addressed the crowd. His
speech was brief and dircctci especially to state
affaire and the newly nominated governor. He
spoke of General Colquitt ok the man, the soldier,
and the Christian, eulogizing him very
highly. Mr. Moses denounced in forcible
terms any independent movement as against
unanimous voice of the convention, and effect
ually illustrated several of his points with hu-
mcrous anecdotes. Wnen he had; concluded
there were numerous calls for these promi
nent gentleman. General Colqoitt being
among the number. The hour
now lata and nobody responded. Shortly post
ten o'clock the multitudes slowly disponed, and
thus terminated an occasion that w:ll long re
main fresh in the minds of all who participa
ted.
The labors of the gubernatorial con
vention were appropriately closed with a rous
ing democratic jubilee last night at the Kimball
House. The meeting was announced and it
also promised that eminent speakers would
take part In the exercises. The crowd l>egan to
assemble at the hotel very soon after seven
’clock. The fair sex turned out in larger num
bers than we have ever seen them at a political
meeting, and before eight o'clock the arcade
alone wss filled from one extremity
other with exquisite toi-
ora by cqua'ly attractive ladles.
We arc afraid that some of the dre tea suffered
before the evening was over, for the lloor upon
the arcade room became far from comfortable.
Intended to reserve the piazza in frout of
the speakers and members of the press
as it wss impossible for the ladles
hear from within, and the pressure
unendurable, they were allowed
also take possession of the piazza, and In a
very few minutes had occupied every foot o!
The piazza was tastefully illuminated
with a row of gss jets extending its entire
length aud from it a bras baud occupied the
attention of the vast throng with
series of well-executed airs, uu'il the

Looking down from the piazza, the sccue
INDESCRIBABLY GRAND,
and sufficient to enthuse any democrat Pryor
street, fromJDccatur on one side to the railroad
the other, wss filled by a dense man ol esger
citizens. Their number could not have been
for short of four thousand, and the ckc-ere that
constantly rent the air from the multitude'
throats, showed that a good old democratic re
vival had started. Not only was the number
large, but it wss composed of representative
Democrats of the sort that knows
how to exterminate radicalism and its attendant
stealings, and who go Into an elec tion to win.
It had been desired to hold back the speaking
until the convention had adjourned in order
that all of the members might hear Mr.Hill.but
by half pest eight o'clock the impatience o! the
waiting thousands could no longer be restrained
and the great oongrusman from the ninth was
introduced amidst an uproar of cheers that
rolled along the street for fully five minutes.
MR. UILLON RADICALISM.
SHAKES Fit051 GEORGIA.
lie Tell.,
N. Y Sun.
A box forwarded from Georgia to Mr
George Yongeat the office of the Cen
tral railroad of Georgia, 409 Broadway,
contains a snake seven feet nine inches
long, ten to twelve inches in girth, and
with thirty-two rattles and a button.
It was met near its abiding place, St.
Simon's Island, by a young physician
who spoils a deal of alcohol every year
in preserving specimens. He wished
to take this fine specimen alive. He
tied a buckskiu thong in a loop to the
’ of a long pole. Holding it out
the rattlesnake, he soon got
the long fangs entangled tn
the loop, and then hauled the snake
home. There is also in the box a fine
specimen of the king snake, a rare spe
cies. It is as long as the big rattle
snake, but lighter in color, less than
one-tliird the girth, and w ith a head
not more than one-sixtli as large.
Georgians say that the king snake will
wind himself arouud a rattle snake
and crush it to death. A six-foot rat
tle snaV e is shown upon which the
doctor experimented as to how long it
could live without food. At the end
of nineteen months and nine days the
snake died.
A Georgian, in the office of the Geor
gia Central, shows a scar on his foot
where he was bitten by a rattlesnake
when he was a small hoy. He didn’t
go home “till it began to hurt.” He
says that a physician gave him whisky
and drew out the poison by putting
live coals m a silver ladle, and holding
it close to the bite. The bottom of the
ladle turned green, as did the inner
vein on his leg, and his left thigh.
Major Yonge savs: “I used to kill
rattlesnakes when 1 was a boy, in Geor
gia. When you go through the woods
there at night you grit your teeth every
time you put your feet down. If you
sit down to uudress in order to bathe in
one of the little streams, you have to
keep a mighty sharp look out not to
feel something crawl up you back. 1
remember a joke of an old gentleman
who sat dowu that way on a log naked,
and there was a hen setting iu the
grass just back of the log. She flew at
him and gave him a sharp peek. The
old gentleman didn't wait to dress him
self. He just made a bee lino for the
house, anu yelled out that a snake had
bit him. But after they cauterized
him and gave him some whisky there
were no ill consequences Down on the
Alatamaha, the hands used to tell me,
as they rowed through the overhanging
trees they could see bundles of snakes
coiled up together among the oranebes;
and sometimes, when the boat would
strike a tiee, they would drop down, a
great throng of* them, which would
wriggle about like a bunch of angle
worms. Why, down on the Katomah
creek, you can take a fish gig and catch
five hundred snakes a dav, between
water moccasins, black snakes aud so

A Poke by Coo*
Cook—I do not think the troops in
Georgia have been called upon for ten
years ?
Sherman—I do not know that they
have, but the people of Georgia are
irv glad to have a garrison at Atlanta.
Cnairman—The object of my inquiry
was to ascertain whether troops could
be spared from the south to reinforce
the army in the Indian country.
Sherman—I am compelled to answer
that they cannot be spared, for those
who are entrusted with power judge
their presence necessary. That deci
sion is to me sacred and final, and gov
erns.
Mr. Terry—You do not say, how
ever, that it is your judgment?
Mr. Sherman—It is hardly right
to ask a soldier for an opinion behind
a duty, lie ought not to form an
opinion.
The examination proceeded in a gen
eral way regarding the army.
The secretary of war, who was pres
ent, was asked whether he desired to
make any statement. He merely re
plied that he concurred entirely with
what Mr. Sherman said.

and vigor of an accomplished public
orator, and is sore of the first medal.
Cob Screven's address in the after
noon was more appreciated by the
higher minds of the audience than by
the general class of bearers. It was
eminently philosophical and even ab

burs a of applause by as many eloquent
passages.
At the close of the address, Dr.

THE CHAMPION DEBATE
between the Phi Kappa and Dexnoa-
Mr. Hi'l chose for hi* subject the “national
politic* and radicalism." The speech was one
of the happiest of hla life, and was interrupted
every few minntes with the wildest appiause. In
opening he stated that he nov
greater hope for the future of the uouutry,
and for a solution of the difficulties
which have so long been threatening tne very
life of oar national commonwealth, than when
he last addressed a similar audience. Tbe
country was giving some evidence that it was
becoming wearied of the Intolerable corruption
which ha* been spreading its poison abroad
like a festering soie There were three ele
ments in the Cincmuati convention: there wa*
a good element, that is If anything in radical
ism can be good; there was a bod element, and
there was wha^he would term a negative cle

who represented the good element; were afraid
to nominate the representative of the bad. and
concluded to try General Hayes, who rep-event
ed the negative, the thieve* voting for him
through the hope they entertained of being
able to manage him to suit their purpose. Pass

1 their limbs and features that is all

but thy are of so fine a fiber, and si
delicate a coloring, that they only just
escape that appellation. Of Polish and
Hungarian pur sang there is little to be
found; womun of the latter race are a
more robust and substantiafibuild, with
dark hair and complexion, fine, flash
ing eyes, and pronounced type; and
who fhat remembers the women
of Linz and Vienna will refuse
them a first prize? They possess a
special beauty of their own—a beauty
which is rare in even the loveliest
Englishwoman; rare indeed, and excep
tiooal everywhere else: a beauty that
the artist eye appreciates with a feel
ing of delight. They have the most
delicately articulated joints of any
people in the world, lire junction of
the hand and wrist, of foot and ankle,
* the neck with back and shoulders,
what our neighbor would call “ador
able.” But, alas, that it should be so;
the full,•gracious figure—types at once
of strength and elegance—the auple,
slender waists, the dainty little wnsts
and hands, become all too soon hope
lessly fat from persistent idleness and

Sherman—No, sir; the great trouble
is that our Indiana failures have rej
suited Irom excessive confidence; anc
Irom the inability of our men to rally
on the first appearance of danger. Old
soldiers rally at once to their coinpan; t
standard, but new men scatter, each
man seeking his own individual safety
and you soon l‘x>se your command.
The men may be brave, but thev have
not the force of habit to rally to their
company standard. They will scatter
about the ravines, hollows and woods,
aud be
;iiill«l by Detail.
Speaking of regular soldiers, Sher
man said, “It seems to me that when
such officers as Terry, Crook and
Sheridan, who are charged with respon
sibility for the result, are willing t<
take this cheap class of inferior men
of whom you speak, congress sheuld
be satisfied.”
.Sherman thinks anybody can make
a good soldier if he has
Good Lepi and Arm**,
good digestion and will obey orders.
He says there are too many regiments
for 25,000 men.
The Chairman—There were on the
8th of July, 3334 troops in the southferi*
states. Could not reinforcements ' *
made up from them?
Sherman—Some have been draw
from V’Tg’nia and some from North
and South Carolina. There are now
some 3,000
Troop* In the South,
outside of Texas. Texas lias more
troops than any other part of the
United States. They are along the
Mexican border and the Indian border,
but there are more within the settled
parts of the state.
Chairman -Does not the election of
President Lerde De Tejado’and the de-
partuie of Cortina diminish the longer
in that quarter.
Sherman—Cortina has got back
and it is worse than ever, lie is in
Matamoras getting up a new revolu
tion. The Mexican border is in as bad
a state as it can be.
Chairman—Could the army in the
Indian country be properly reinforced
by the three thousand men now lo
cated in the southern states outside of
Texas ?
Sherman-I understand from the
highest authority tliat these troops are
needed there by marshals and revenue
officera for maintenance of the public
peace, etc. That ii as far as 1 have a
right to go.
Hurl but—Some are in garrisons
along the seaport forts.
Sherman—Yes, there are some four
hundred in the forts and at Fortress
Monroe, which is a school of artillery,
and has really nothing more to do with
the south than with Maine.
Sherman added: Evary time that
we propose to withdraw troops there
is an effort made by the governors and
members of congress to keep them
theie. He does not believe there are
more than 200 men in Mississippi. I
s ippose there is no concealment of the
fact th at the negroes down there are
uneasv and restless.
