Senator Sherman’s letter declining the invitation to attend the reunion of the survivors of the Philadelphia brigade and Pickett’s division of confederate’s at Gettysburg shows that he Inis been considerably affected by the comments upon his Springfield speech. In it he says: “There should be no enmity or prejudice between union and confederate soldiers, and now that all alike feel that an indestructible union binds us together there should be a cordial and hearty fellow ship between the blue and the gray.’’ This is quite in the dulcet key of John’s mellifluous chin music at Nashville, but it will do him no good, for his shifting assertions have proved that he it a dem >gogue and unworthy of confidence.

The New York Tribune answers its own conundrum, “Why are thos rebel flags like President Cleveland?” with: ‘Because they . are not to be returned.” And yet the proper and correct answer is: “Because they will remain where they are.” , As Ben Butler made no fuss over the return of tho-e trophies of is valor, the “rebel spoons,” it is rot easy to see why he should make any fuss over the return of rebel flags in whos capture he had no interest.
