All Hands Provided For.

It was John Sherman’s prom se to the hesitating Anderson and Don Weber that if they would only “stand firm,” and make false returns, a grate ul party would never forget it of them, and they should be well “cared for.’ All hands have been provided for. Let us see. There are a good many of them, first and last, who were concerned in the Florida and the Louisiana iniquity, but they have all been, quietly looked after and “cared for. Only look at the lists, for the two States: FLORIDA. Noyes, of Ohio .ui-ister to France. Kawon, of lowaMunster to Austria. Up r , n Justice in New Mexico.

(’l„ r )£ In the treasury. Campben.7.7.7.7".’u. 8. Di-trict Attorney. There are others. And now not one of them cun remember how the returns were forged. But they have been “ well cared for. ” John Sherman seems to have taken a liberal share. We find no fewer than eight that he has taken under his wings. He might, on a pinch, take the whole lot. In that case he wquld. be like the hen that was made the subject of a boy’s experiment. Having gathered all the eggs in the barn and put them in the nest of a sitting hen, and being asked what he was doing, he re plied that he “just wanted to see the old hen spread herself.” Sherman can spread himself, and is ready to do it, rather than have any more of his eggs addled. But what a picture these lists present! And it looks as if Mr. Haves had “ had an eye ” on things.— Hartford Times.
