John Sherman'* Kxcuae.
In addreaaiug a lot o( Republicans at
Youngstown, Onto, recently John Sherman
■aid:
Three month* ago there waa no dlapoettlon on
the part ot Bepnbllcana |to revive the war Isaac*
and stir op anlmoatty between the North and the
Heath. The recent celebration In the Booth and
glortllcatlon ot Jett Davla with tbe apeech made
by Jackson at Macon, Oa., have compelled the Re
public an* to (acelaanea that, with their coneent,
would never have again been brought to the enr
(ace.
Bo far as Gsncril Jackson's speech la
concerned the position of the Tclioriph
la well understood. We condemned (be
gpeech very soon after it waa delivered. We
■aid then and we say now that it does not
represent tbe aeoliment of tbe Sontb. Tbe
Sonin believes iu o.alos’ tights, but so
does everybody in this connlry. Tbe
strongest proclamations of States' rights
doctrines ever known have c ims within tbe
past few years from tbe Supreme Court of
tbe United States, which is composed of
nine Republicans and one Democrat. But
John .Shuman oannot dcoeive any honest
man by aaaerting that the speech of Gen-
oral Jackson is his provocation to renew
sectional issues. Be hss preached the doo.
trine of hate for more than twenty-five
years, and all his political utterances are
discolored by it. Ho threw a little cheap
taffy to Birmingham and Nashville on his
last visit to tbe Sonth. It was esgeriy
gobbled by' sn-ceptible looal newspapers,
fiknt nobody who knew John Sherman had
any faith in the sincerity of his profes
sions of love for the Sonth.
If Mr. Sherman wore an honest man hs
would inquire whether General Jackson's
speech represents the feelings of the 8ontb
beforo he takes it as evidence against this
part of the anion. He knows that it he
made this inquiry he would find that the
speech is not endorsed by the Santh. The
deeding Southern newspapers have repudi
ated it, and the great maes of the Southern
people who have (read tbe speech openly
condemn it. Tbeie are foots which a fair
and honorable man wonld consider.
Bat John Sherman is neltheaa fair nor an
honorable man. He secs in an nnfortn
note incident cf the State Fiir a chance
to bowl over dead it sues and he accepts it
with s ghoulish glee whloh betokens tfao
measure of hit liberality and the quality of
bis so-called statesmanship. When John
Sherman utters slanders on tbs South we
do not proclaim them aa samples of the
average Northern opinion cf oar people.
General Jackion made a speech whloh.waa
calculated to arouse the passions ot the
past, bat he spoke for himself. Hs cer
tainly did not represent Maoon, or Georgia,
or the South on that ooesslon.
lfie t lit Cta CoutfreM.
Three weeks irom next Monday the Fif
tieth Congress will meet in its first session.
Toe Democrats will have s majority of
thirteen or fourteen in the House. They
will have no difficulty in organizing that
body. It is oonaeded that Mr. Carlisle will
be elected Speaker. He will probably have
no opposition In tbe Democratic caucus.
The Republicans will confer the empty
honor of thtir nomination for tbs Speaker
ship either on Mr. Reed, of Maine, or ex-
Governor Long, of Massachusetts. This
nomination is always In demand
among minority leaders, because it is token
as an indication of what the next Hones
wonld do if its political complexion should
be changed, and tbe nominee is looked
npon as tbs minority leader in the House.
It strengthens a minority member at home
and builds np his politioal hopes when he
receives inch an endorsement.
There is no opposition to the re-election
of General John B. Clark, of Missouri, as
clerk of the House. He hss served two
terms already. At first he went in by
mtjority of two over Mr. Atkins, the pres
ent Indian Commissioner. Ht beeame so
popular daring his first term that be was
nnanimonsly renomica'.edby the Democrat
ic caucns at the opening of the lut Con
gress. General Clark is a model officer.
He deserves the* continued confidence
which the Hones has bestowed upon him.
Mr. John L Ltedom, of Ohio, the ser
geant-at-arms, and Mr. Lyctugne Dilton,
of Indiana, the po3tmis:er, will be re
elected.
Mr. Sam Donelson, of Tennessee, the
doorkeeper, who baa more patronage than
any other effleir of tbe House, is opposed
by two other candidates. They are Mr A.
B. Hart, of Mississippi; and Mr. Asher
Earneti, oi New Yota. Tun political divis
ion of the Senate is problematical, on ac
count of the uncertainty of Mr. Biddleber-
ger’a position. Should he vote with the
Democrats, the Senate will stand thirty-
eight to thirty-eight. t
The seats of three Democratic
Senators, viz: Hearst, of California, Tutpia,
of Indiana, and Faulkner, of West Virginia,
are confected, but the Senate is very con
servative ia suo's matters sad sit of these
gentlemen will probably hold their seats.
If they do so the donate cannot have less
than thirty-Bevtn Democrats or more than
thirty-nine Republicans, no matter what
Mr. Harrison Hardy Riddlcberjer may do.
In aay event tbe Amerioan “House of
Lords” will be so close that the Democratic
House ought to be able to shape the legisla
tion of the Fiftieth Congress.
It Waa Not a Crusade.
The Mobile R<giater saya, concerning
Governor Gordon's raoent visit to Ohio:
“We think be made a miatake in going to
that State on a politioal eras ode."
The Register lately he* not reed the
speeches which Governor Gordon mads in
Ohio. They are good reading for any citi
zen ot thls.oonntry, North or Sontb. They
are, perhaps, tbe broadest and most liberal
■peeebea that have been made In any politi
cal campaign in thta country since the war.
In none cf them ia there peroepll-
ble the slightest tinge ot sectional
prejudice, or even political bias.
Governor Gordon discussed questions
which reach far beyond tbs Ohio eleetion,
or any diction. The bntden of his speech
at Cincinnati, at GlaveUnJ, at every place
where heap peered in Ohio, was a broad,
national feeling and a common brother
hood under the osnatitntlon of tbo United
HUtoa. The word “ortuade," as it ia gen
erally used, does not apply to Governor
Gordon's Onto visit. It wonld be better to
oall it a mission of good will from the
Booth to the North. It waa an appeal to
all the people of this eountry to bury thtir
dissension* and to stand together on the
broad platform cf a re -tored and inde-
■tructible nr ion. Wa regret that the Mo
bile Register did not peroeive the foil im
port of Governor Gordon’s efforts in Ohio.
Col. John It. Fellow*.
One of tbe most gratifying incident* o!
the great Democratic victory in New York
is the eleetion of Cob John R. Fellows u
district attorney in New York city.
Throughout tbo heated campaign which
dosed yesterday, CoL Fellows wea
a mvk for the meet reck!
vitop, ration. Hit high personal character
and diitiogniahed public services served
only to exasperate his enemies and to drive
them to the most desperate expedient!.
The wa/are waged on GoL F allows by the
Hew Y'Ak World was a disgrace to journal
ism.
The people have aniwered these visions
attacks and by their verdict Colonel Fal
lows is entrusted wi'h one of tbe moat re
sponsible offices hr New York. It need not
be said that he wM fill It ably and honestly.
We congiatnlato Oolonel Fellows, bat New
York is to be congratulate 1 even more than
.he.
Piotasiaut splendor.
Tbe mcvment to bnild ■ grand Protes
tant Episcopal Cathedral in New York has
taken snbatantial shape. The trnatees have
purchased a building lot at the enormous
oost of 9845,000, on which this gorgeens
hou e of worship is to be ereoted. Tbe
estimated oost of the building is 910,000,000.
Usually when tbe State or Federal govern
ment erects a building it it sate to doable
the original estimate. Tbe “ohlldren of
light" are not wiser than the “ohlldren of
this world” when it comes to driving bar
gains or preventing financial lcaktge. We
can therefore see the proipeot of an in
vestment ot 915,000.010 or 920,000,000
in tbe New Yolk Cathedral. It will rival in
cost and splendor most of tbe groat cathe-
dr ils ot Europe. It will be unique in that it
wilt mark a departure from Protestant sim
plicity. Outside ot Esglaad Prates taut
churches,tbe world over, are comparatively
plain. Tbe Protestant architecture of Eng
land dates whatever ot grandeur it bas back
to feudal period when religion was mare e
matter ot polities than of ( moral convict tor
and no austerity of faith reprcsied tbe bar
baric love ot splendor. Tbs Faritsuiosl idea
has pervaded Amerioan chnrcb architec
ture. There ere few churches
in this country which arc much mors than
four brick walla, oovariog a simple interior.
Their windows are nneolored and thtir
walls are generally white or stained In
sombre color withont a suggestion of at-
Untie beauty. Tbs N«w York cathedral
will present a striking contrast to all other
ebnrch buildings in this country, even to
tbebeantlfnl marble oathedral if ibsCatho-
lio chnrcb In Now York,wbioh la now by far
tbe ocitlieet house of worahip in thia conn-
Uy. It wi>l be small and plain betide
oethedal that will ooat between 910,000,000
and 92'\000,000.
Thw Colton Crop.
Seldom have prognostications as to tbe
cotton crop apparently gone so for wide
the mark as they bavs this season. Not
long ago tbo leading cotton merchants
Now Orleans made pnbllo estimates of the
crop. Nearly all of llreu* fixed their figures
between C.CIO.OOC and C.TOO.OCO bales.
Only one gentleman went so low as 6 500,
