Years ago at an inn in the West of England several persons were sitting around a fire in n Large Kitchen through which there to the other apartments of the House and amongst whom was a female traveller and a tailor. At this inn a Lodge of free and accepted masons was held it being Lodge night several of their members passed the company in tho was to the meeting room.

Senator John Sherman a review of he difficulty very curious facts brought to Light Stanton a treachery Ond. Hall Eek a Malignity Halleck As the revolt a of ,&c., amp a. From communication in Washington chronicle tho court journal May 25. A quarrel Between two High officers of the Qvern ment is always unfortunate unseen. Lye and usually injurious to each. This is especially so when they Are working in the sume great cause and that cause brilliantly successful crowned with a glorious it is Idle to of Oneal Evi Devoes of. Passion eagerly promulgated by the Telegram and press and it is Well fur kindly lookers on to take a dispassionate View to see if �11 this heat is necessary. The writer of this knows both parties and is certainly Friendly to each. The commencement of any difference was with the Shorman Johnston this if approved by the president would have made peace Between the Prito Inao and the Rio Grande. The objections made to this Aid included in three propositions 1st. That Sherman had no Power to make such a treaty. A the answer is obvious that to never claimed or attempted to conclude tho a Range meet. All lie did concluded was truce for a few Days and he then submitted for the approval or rejection of the president this important offer general even in arranging the truck he had it All on his Side. Ilsup was still moving Anil lipid aug the outer coils of tho net while Slie nmn was building railroads Atul repairing roads and Bridges ready for the final Spring if the arrangement was. Disapproved. He gained everything by the truce and lost nothing. Johnston was corralled a and Ivas kept to by Quot this very truce while Sherman was never More Active in preparing for future movements if necessary. It is said generals have no business to make truces or Deal with political questions and that Gocr Inthas reproved for this but Hud made truces before and for a year has been distinguished for his treat sent of political questions without a word of cuu Tiou or repro from his superiors. The Telegram to Grant now published As an official order of in old Date was withheld from she rms and a Henrian had been instructed to open communications with rebel civil authorities. The second objection is that the arrangement recognized the rebel state governments and officials. This is the most serious objection and amply justified the government in rejecting or modifying the arrangement but the official papers show clearly that Sherman refused to Grant this shape or form until the order of , issued while or. Lincoln was present in Richmond convened tho rebel legislature of Virginia and recognized the rebel governor Smith. A Vith this order before him without p word of the contrary Tenor Sherman in formed Johnston of the order and waived his previous abjection to recognizing the Robe state Why should Sherman be denounced for submitting to tho new president a proposition based us on this order of the revocation of which he had not the least notice ? How unjust to arraign him for this and then conceal the fact that he was noting in pursuance of the policy of the former administration. The third objection is that be recognized slavery and restored tie old relations be Between master one slave. This is simply absurd. Sherman has repeatedly acted upon tho Validity of the proclamation of emancipation and tho Laws of Congress abolishing slavery and to idea of. Repeating or strengthening Thom by a military arrangement be tween the generals Nover entered Hie head. The official papers show that a urged Johnston to announce As a feet the extinction of slavery a fact that Sherman not Only regarded As fixed but is unalterable. The result was that slavery was not mentioned but was left precisely ought to be left. The nervous fear that this question could not be left to the Law and the supremo court did not disturb a purely military a nip. This was the arrangement about which so much has been said. It disbanded tho rebel armies placed Ull their urme within our Power made peace Universal and it was purely conditional having no life without the approval of the president. Now it is Plain that the duty of the government was simply to approve or reject it give no reasons but Issue its orders and this is precisely what was done by tho president and he did no More. Gen Grant was sent to Convoy this order end did his duty nobly and Well with generous consideration for his subordinate and fellow Soldier. Sherman did nut hesitate a moment promptly terminated the truce made a new arrangement with Jolius Quot stun and at dime started for Charleston and Savannah to Send supplies to general Wilson Ihen far in Georgia and to Coloso up the scattered links of his great command. His official report by Iowa an amount of Zeal activity patriotism arid wonderful ability not surpassed by any portion of his previous life. A this was going on while he was in utter ignorance of the wild storm of denunciation that was sweeping Over the whole country. Yphile he was supplying Wilson arranging to a Tob Davis detaching armies irom his command and preparing for peace and Home the press and Telegraph the pulpit and the Rostrum were ringing with denunciations letter rebel to the London times was. Universally quoted As the revolution plot to overthrow the government. Cromwell Rind Arnold and All that was desperate Aid violent were suddenly brought to Publio notion. To Delend Sherman and even to beg people to wait let us hear from him a was to invite quarrel and insult. Timid people were pitying him and All connected with him. People who had slept sound in their Beds at night and made Money every Day during the War thought general Sherman had join to the a copperheads a and was no hotter than Jeff. Davis and even hinted that he got son a of Jeff. Davis a Gold. General Sherman first met this a chilling wind As he was coming northward around Cape Henry to meet his army arid surrender this of omit and. He was then writing Hia official report. He firmly. Beji Evel that All the fierce and most unreasonable calumny woe organised by or. Stanton and general Hallec a with the deliberate purpose to in Silt humiliate and ruin Hiiri. He then first reasons Rind Hallecks in Silt. Ing order. He mixed All the falsehoods and Malignity with these two official ants.
