Reckless Severity.

Isn't the editor of the Indianapolis Journal slashing rather recklessly when he denies to Gen. SHERMAN the possession of "the smallest atom of modesty or Tenacity T" There are characters for which we have a profounder admiration than for that of the General-in-Chief of the armies of the United States, but we do not think he is utterly destitute of "modesty or veracity," nor do the people of this Union think so meanly of him. On the contrary, he is generally regarded as the most brilliant genius of the late war, the real author of the plans which ({RANT caused to be carried out, a brave, honwt patriot and soldier, sometimes too hasty and impetuous, not always sufficient careful as to his words, but very rarely overstepping the due bounds of "modesty," and never failing in irreproachable "veracity." Some of his ideas of the pomp and state due to his present posi tion, are repugnant to our feelings do not believe that he should give grand dinners and receptions at the public expense, or what is the same thing, that his salary should be based on the supposed necessity for such entertainments. But there is no necessity for an attack upon hi* personal character in order to oppose his views of military expenditures.

Infinite Meanness.

The righteous indignation of the Cincinnati Timett \n ponred out upon the heads of the twenty one Democrats in the Ohio House of Representatives who were "mean enough to vote against resolutions of respect to the memory of General THOMAS." "Mean" appears to us to be a mild term to employ in this instance, but, unfortunately, there is no lexicon that supplies epithets sufficiently forcible to meet the demands of the ocoasion. The Time* says the brave old soldier, living, could expect nothing but bitter hatred and contumely from these lily-livered rascals. That is true. He had, as the Times well remarks, dealt their friends too many hard blows for them to so soon forget, and treat him with common decencv. But, cold in death, the cow aid who could find it in his heart to vote against\he usual slight tribute of respect to his memory, exhibits the spirit and propensities of a hyena, or Peace Democrat in his most aggravated and aggravating form. The luster of the grand old soldier's fame can be dimmed by no such ebullitions of petty meanness while the. only reputation'these small-minded big ota have achieved is the infamous notoriety of standing in the way of a proper exhibition of the grief of the State own sioned by the death of the great man.

It is necessary, in order that the human rape shall possess infinite variety, that Buoh creatures shall exist. The same apology excuses the existence of the midnight assassin.

Voorhees and Morion. The Lafayette Journal of yesterday morning contains a long and wfell written article under the above caption, suggested by VOORHEES' proposed review of MOR" TON'S State Convention speech. The ciT tations from VOORHEES' record are familiar to our readers, and we omit many of them, but present the following extract as exceedingly interesting and pertinent

AJr. Voorhees is a man of very marked ability—especially as an orator. In this respect he is. perhaps, in the popular estimation, the superior ot the great Senator. Stripped, though, of their gorgeous rhetoric, his addresses are deformed dwarfs in comparison with those of t|»e illustrious man whom he proposes to review. But we do not care to contrast the intellectual caliber of the two. Mr. Voorhees has brain enough to make a respectable benator of the United States—a position to which he aspires, and as a part ot the programme to attain which, he speaks to-night. It is the patriotism of the two men—their respective loyalty to the Government—that wo desire to put side by side. Pre-eminent among the war Governors of States dnring the rebellion, head and shoulders above all others in comprehensiveness of view, the rapidity with which they came to correct 'conclusions, and the tremendous energy with which they acted upon them, stood

Governor Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana and Governor John A. Andrew, ot Massachusetts. The vigilance and executive ability of tle fornjer saved the State from being the scene of wide-spred rapine, murder and devastation, at the hands of rebellious, bloody and traitorous Democrats. Mr. Voorhees did not belong to the Knights of the Golden Circle. He was too shrewd ior that but it was such speeches as his in Congress on the Conscription bill and other war measures, in which his prediction of resis-

taflce tq ihf draft was nothipg less thnq a justification of the same, that made the conspiracy to murder the Governor and release the rebel prisoners at Camp Morton, as a portion of the great rebel movement to transfer the war to Northern soil, possible.

As Mr. Voorhees is to deal largely in records, we suggest that he tell the people of Indiana what Governor Morton was doing while he was himself pledging the government of Jefferson Davis, in a certain contingency, one hundred thousand Indiana soldiers! We have no doubt that the Terre Haute member would like to have the people forget such ugly things, but they can not and will not do so. Generation after generation of loyal men will remember them and .hold all who were untrue to the Government in the hour of its peril to a rigid political responsibility whenever they ask for office or appear as public censors.

Mr. Voorhees' friends claim that he is a man of the largest influence in his partv, and we are not disposed to question it. He it was who, more than any other pnblic man in the State, gave a peculiarly malignant character to the Democracy in

Without his

there could have been no Milligana, Horseys, and Bowleses, and Anthons. If giving "comfort" to the enemy war is treason, then what shall we call Daniel W. Voorhees? Either he had no part in placing Indiana in the "attitude' she maintained toward the South, during the last years of the rebellion, else he did give the enemy "comfort. Any one who has a copy of the Virginia Examiner of February 12, looo, will find it in the following passage: "Among the foreign relations ot the Confederacy, none are more interesting than our relations with the States of Indiana, and Illinois. The people of those States are heartily tired of the war." Who assisted to put Indiana into this interesting relation to the Confederacy? Daniel W. Voorhees. We hear him deliver his tirades against the war measures of the Government in Congress, in the winter of 1863, when he^warned the advocates of the Conscription law that the Democrats of his section would resist, 'ind knew full well that he was putting, so far as he could, his State into "interesting" and pleasant "relations with that portion of the Democratic party then in arms against the Union.

CUBAN VICTORY.

NEW YORK, March 31 —A late Havana correspondent states-that two battles have been fought in Los Tunas district, both of which have resulted in the defeat of the Spaniards. It was thought that Gen. Jordan commanded in the Tast fight.

The report of these Cuban victories was not credited in Madrid yesterday. ADDRESS OF SPANIARDS IN CIJBA TO

SPANIARDS IN SPAIN. 4

The text of the address of the Spaniards in Cuba to the Spaniards at home, a mention of which has been made by telegraph, is published. It opposes ve hemently the transfer of Cuba to any foreign power, and concludes with this declaration: "TheSpaniard- who are in Cuba, may be conquered, but ceded or sold, never. Cuba shall remain Spanish, or we will abandon her when converted to ashes."

CONNECTICUT.

Advices from Connecticut show that about 1,100 colored men have made application for registration, and according to the laws of the State the boards of registration can decide on their claims on the morning of the election, so that the announcement of the adoption of the 15th Amendment yesterday will secure the right to vote to at least one-half of the above number of colored men.

UNDERGROUND WORK.

A quiet movement is understood to be in progress here and in Washington, looking to the removal of Collector Grinnell and appointment in his place of ex Senator Thomas C. Murphy. The movement is said to have considerable strength, and to be ardently chrmpioned by Gen. Butler. Murphy has not heretofore been supposed to be a specially devoted friend of Gen. Grant as he has been of E. D. Morgan.

THE DISASTER TO THE VENEZUELAN. The steam fruiter. Camilla, which arrived here yesterday, having.on board the passengers of the steamship Venezuelan, of the West India & Pacific Steamship Company, of Liverpool, who w£re transferred to the Camilla on the 16th of March in latitude 33° 30x north, longitude 44° 10v west, or about 1,000 miles from New York and between 300 and 400 miles to the westward of the Azores, brings the following particulars of the disaster. The Venezuelan is a fine iron screw steamer of 167 tons register, with engines of 200-liorse power, is being rigged, and plies on the line between Liverpool and Aspinwall, touching at several of the West India Islands and at ports on the Spanish main. She sailed from Liverpool on the oth of March with a full cargo of general merchandise, £8,000 in specie, the mails, 13 passengers, and a crew of 46 persons, bound to the West Indies.

From date of sailing she experienced fresh gales, bnt on the 12th she encountered very heavj weather which continued until the 15th, when she broke down at 8 o'clook $ the morping. It was blowing a moderate gale, with a heavy cross-sea running, and without any warning or shock, the rudder dropped off. At the same time the stern post broke off, leaving a large hole in the vessel's side. Water rushed into the after store room, which, in fifteen minutes was full. Measures were taken at once to confine the water in the after compartment. For tunately, next day* the Camilla hove in sight, and took on board the passengers and the captain. All the officers and 34 of the crew of the Venezuelan reremained with the ship. In a few hoars after the ships parted company a heavy gale set in, and the captain of the Camilla fears that the Venezuelan could not, in her crippled condition, weather it.— There is a strong feeling among the passengers, also, that the Venezuelan did not survive the gale ofgthe 16th and 17th inst.

Upon conclusion of the reading of UM journal discussion ensued, in regard to the correction thereof proposed by Mr. Trumbull, so as to show be had moveifW open the doors to have the President's message relative to the 15th Amendment read in open session.

Mr. Drake presented the credentials of Morgan C. Hamilton and J. W. Flanigan, as Senators elect from Texas, the former

for the term eftding March 4th, 1871, and the latter ending March 4,1875. He moved that the gentlemen be sworn into office, The credentials were read at the request of Mr. Thnrman, and the Senators took the oath, and seats on the Republican side of the Senate.

The House Joint Resolution of sympathy and respect for the memory of General Thomas, passed.

Mr. Scott presented a memorial from citizens of Allegheny county, Pa., for the entire abrogation of income tax.

The bill allowing retired army offi to be assigned to duty at Soldiers' Homes^ was passed.

Mr. Cole introduced a bill authorising the establishment of ocean mail steamship service between the United States and Australia referred. ,,

Mr. Patterson introduced a bill to establish a National Institute of Arts and Science in Washington.

Mr. Willey offered a resolution directing enquiry, by the Committee on Commerce, into the expediency of causiAgsurvey and examination under direction of the War Department, of a line of water communication between tide water on James river and Ohio river at the mouth of the Great Kanawha, by way of Jam™ and Kanawha rivers and tributaries, wit a view to ascertaining the practicability and utility of such .water communication as may be required for transportation of military supplies in time of war, and to meet commercial necessities of the Mississippi Valley, with liberty to report by bill or otherwise adopted.

Mr. Rice introduced a bill granting lands to the Kansas City & Memphis Riilroad Company.

At one o'clock the case of Gen. Ames, as Senator elect from Mississippi, came up in order, and Mr. Vickers argued that the alleged declaration by Ames to become a citizen of Mississippi did not amount to anything, as no voluntary act on his part could be shown to make the intention valid- N

HOUSE.

The bill reported yesterday by Arnell, from the Committee on Education and Labor, relative to a bureau of Education and Labor, and relative to the Freedmen's Bureau, was taken up.

Mr. McNeely, & member of the same Committee, epposed the bill. He intimated that the manager of the Freedmen's Bureau had made a nioe property speculation with the funds of the Bureau, that the House had constantly refuseid to adopt a resolution offered by Mr. Rogers, requiring an. account of the disposal of funds, and charged that the real object of the bill was to cover up the Freedmen's Bureau and let it escape from examination by confounding it with a Bureau of Education. The bill was further discussed by Dockery, Shanks, Arnell, Hoar and other members, till the close of the morning hour, when discussion being closed Benjamin moved to lay it on the table.

Mr. Washburne, Wisconsin, and Mr. Wood supported, and Maynard opposed. The motion was rejected, 63 against 92, and the bill went over until next morning hour.

Mr. Paine, from Election Committee, reported the credentials of members elect from Texas were regular, and they were prima facie entitled to seats.

Mr. Butler, Massachusetts, was opposed to the swearing in of Conner, one of the members elect, and read to the House various affidavits accusing him of whipping negro soldiers while he Was a Captain in the army and of having boasted that he bribed a negro to swear falsely before a military commission which tried him.

Mr. Van Trump asked whether the affidavits were ex parte. Mr. Butleifadmittcd they were.

Mr. Van Trump submitted they should not be used to effect the judgment of the House.

FIRE.

CLEVEIJAND, March 31.—At 1 o'clock this morning the fruit packing factory of J. B. Glenn & Co., Canal street, was burned. Their loss $8,000. Insured for $5,000, in the Home, Albany, and San Francisco companies. Loss to the building, owned by F. D. Stone. $20,000. In surance unknown.

Mr. Shanks moved to refer the charges against Conner to the Committee o« elections.

Mr. Stevenson, a tnember of the Committee on Elections, defended the report of the committee, and charged that the objection made to Mr. Conner was that he alone of the delegation was a Democrat, a bad Texan boy. That wight be all true. He did not expect to see any very high specimen of a Christian gentleman sent up herp from Texas, but what have they to do with that? How did that affect Conner's light to a seat? The member from Massachusetts, who charged that person on affidavits with subornation of perjury, had himself defended a member of the House for a greater crime. It was in his judgment a farce, and worse, it was abase partisan proceeding, and as such he denounced it. (Good for yon, from a.. Democratic member.)

Mr. Orth denounced the proceeding against Conner as most preposterous. He was a native of Indiana, had entered the army and served continuously until the close of the war, and then had been appointed a Captain in the regular arnty, in which he hqd served till the time he had accepted the nomination as a candidate for Congress in Texas. Against his loyally the breath of suspicion eotrtd not be brought. Capt. Conner was charged with being severe to his soldiers. If that was a' disqualification, other members of the House might be ousted. It might exclude those who were attempting to exclude tliis vonng m»(j frpm lj(s seat. He was sorry Cqpt."

*Mr, Dawes said that it was the first time an objection had been made to swearing a member elect, because of unbecoming or improper conduct while he was not a member. While he (Dawes,) was chairman of the Committee on Elections, statements and affidavits had been received as to the criminal conduct of a member from New York, the Committee Had directed him to return them to the persons Rending with the notice that »t was a question between the member and his. constituents, and if theychooBe to he represented by the gentleman itwas thaC own business and not the bminess of the Committee on Elections or of the House.
