\VISIII\IITOV , I' eb. " 1. [ Special to Tin :
Ilii.l : Crape has been tlio prevailing emb
lem In tins administration. Probablv never
lu the history of the country have their heoii
sr > tinny deaths directly associated with the
chief oxocutlvefnrnlly of Iho nation as under
Pro.iidontIiarrUon. It has boon months
since ilio executive departments were free
from the symbol of de.itii , ICIthoi * tlio great
columns la front ot Iho oxecullvo dopart-
menls , some hlilo ontMiico to ono ot the tod-
oral places of business , or some chair la a
public or private room iu an executive de
partment has been draped hi token of the
visitation of death.
"When the head ot n department dies It Is
the custom to Immediately clo > o that depart
ment for the duy , niidon the il.iy ot the
funeral there Is a complete suspension of
business , In not only that department , but In
all others. The great columns in front ot the
building where death has como are heavily
draped \vilh folds of Uuclt cloth. The private
entrance of tbo deceased , where ho was wont
to Ibid ingress and ei'ro.ss In Iho morning and
when his day's work was done , is given a
massive drapery , and the en trance to hispri-
vale and public rooms and tlio chair ami desk
ho occupied tire heavily ctrapod in
mourning. The drapery upon the outside -
side of tlio builJingis retained
in Its plnco for thirty days , during which the
Ihi ) ! upon Iho ilopartmenl is placed at half-
mast. The Hairs noon all public1 buildings ,
includiiii ; the white house , aw at half-mast
fora period of thirty days.
When a chief of bureau dies the emblems
of mourning nro as profuse in u small way.
Instead of spreading thorn ever tin * entire
buildiiiir they are clvon exhibit attlieroom
where the l-'te occupant performed hisotli-
oial duties. Some time wlic.it an eld watch
man or janitor dies the employes under him
g.vo evidence nf their sorrow by dr.ipiiu . , ' tbo
littlp cuddy way or hltlu privale ol'ilco lie oc-
i-nnieil.
In Washington the fsouthern custom of
placing a heavy fold of crape midway upon
tlioleft-sleovoof the outer trarmi-nt i- nut ob-
feorvod , even in respect to the ucMlh ot the
nearest relative. Synibols of mounilii ! , ' are
never worn upon the hats ot gi-ntlomea or
the costumes of ladies iu respect to the death
of an official. These are only worn for u
kinsman.
Unit 1'i-esiilent Harrison been compelled to
don crape upon his norsoa in memory of the
do.ith of those who were ollleially associated
with him , bo would have boon without fun
eral emblem.scarcely u month siriro the time
ho entered the white bouse. First came the
deaths within his own family , and then those
within the families of Secretaries Itlaino and
Tracy , and in rapid succession the doalhs of
ox-ci'iDinet oflicers , ox-generals ot the army ,
ex-ad mirals of the navy , and then
tbo death of Secretary Wtiuloni. The com
passion shown by tbo president for tboso
who have fallen about him ha- , endeared him
to evcryono-in Washington. Ho has given
ovldencoof a slore of humanity and com
panionship and warm pcr.sonnl esteem for
these associated with bun which was proba
bly ni'vcr shown by ono of his iircdefcsiors ,
and it is doubtful if anyone has been able lo
withstand wilh .such fortitude the griefs
which have been thrust upon him
Washington will cunt nine to ho in heavy
inoiiriiliiir , und heavy folds of crape will
whisk In the Potomac broe/es from the col
umns of the department for niiiiiv woelis yet ,
ami tbo question is upon every tongue ,
"Who knows bow soon death will come again
or who it will visit next ! "

"I have just returned from Now York
city , " said Ilou. .1. M. Thiirston , "wlioro I
atleiided thobatniuot ot the Now Yorlc re-
puollcan club , and was present at a mooting
of Ihe executive committee of the ItopubUcnu
league of the United States.
"Kepablicanism is not dead hi the far oast.
I never saw suoh enthusiastic response to re
publican sentiment as at the republican club
Innqnet. The republicanism of the east to
day is undoubtedly of tbo stalwart kind , and
the republicans of New Yurk city are eager
for t he battle of IMC' .
"Tbo annual convention of the republican
league of the United stales is lo bo held at
Cincinnati , commencing April 51 next. 11
will bo ono of the grandest political gather
ings ever held in Ino rnlted States. The
representation is the same us to the national
convention , and almost every statoin the
union will bo represented. The grcnt lend
ers of the republican parly have nearly nil
consented to bo present and deliver ad
dresses , and it Is expected this convention
will formally open the next presidential cam
paign ,
"The loapio was formed for the purpose of
permitting that individual participation in
iwlitical oriMiiUalioii by the young mon of
the country , wub-li they failed to got tiirouph
the regular party machine ) . It is bound to bo
Iho great political eiigino In l U ' . Tbocoua-
irv is fully organised , and although iho vari
ous clubs are somowhnt quiet between times ,
they are all ready to pitch In just as soon as
there U a chance for work. I believe there Is
to bo n great revival of stafwait-
Ism nnd uncompromising republii-anisni.
Tbo young men of the country will
not permit the abandonment of any
republican principle , or the violation of nnv
republican promise. I think their yoico ivill
bo heard in no uncertain sound at Cincinnati ,
and tbo key-note of the next campaign \vill
bo sounded thoro. In a your from now the
club orgnimiitioa will have n great political
nrmy in Iho Held. Their llags will wave
from oconu to ocean , and the tramp of
their marcliiuB foot , with songs of their
rejoicing lips , will herald triumphant return
of the republican party to power In the fol-
lowliigNovcmbcr.

"Several years ace I was doing drnmatic

gustus Harris.
" -Coino and have .something , ' ho said.
"Si" wo went around tbo corner. Wo re-
inatnnilln the cafe seine time chattinp. Then
I rcali/ed that time was passing nnd that I
was inis.singtbe performance.
' "Snrry to leave \ou , ' I said , shaking
hands with Mr. Harris. I hurried back to
Iho theater. The tlrst act was over. As I
entered Mr. Toolo stepped up.
" 't'omo anil have something , ' bo said ,
"So wo went around tbo corner again.
AVbon I re turned the second act was over. I
determined at least to witness the last two
acts when I was accosted by Mr. Sims.
" 'L'omo and have something. ' Who would

UN Scheme ol' Campaign.
An inlercstlnt' Rlimpso Into Sherman's
sclioinoof campaign was given by him In a
speech delivered In St. Ioulsln the suninier
of 1 0."Here In St. Louis , probably , " ho
said , "began the gre.it center movement
which tcnnlaatoittho war ; ubattlelleld such
as never before was seen , extending from
ocean to ocean almost with tbo right whig
mid the loft wing ; and from Ilio center Hero.
I renii-inber one evening1 , up In tbo old
I'lnnlors' house , silling with ( Jeneral Hal-
leek and ( ieneral t'nllnm , and wo were talIc
ing about this , that and tbo other. A map
was on the table , and I was oxnl.dnhig . the
position of the I iiiups of the enemy' in Ken
tucky when I caino to this slate.
"Iieneral Ilalleek knew well Iho | msllon !
here , and 1 remoinlier well the question ho
asked me the question of the school teacher
to his child-'Sherman , hero is tbo line ; how
will yon break tbat line ! ' 'I'hvslrnlly , by a
pei-iiendicular force. ' 'Whoro is tho'perpon-
illculnrC 'The Hue of the Tcnnesseo river.1
( leiioral Hnlleck Is ino nutlinr of that llrst
begliinliig , and I give him credit lor U with
pleasure. Laying down his poiieil upon the
mail , he Haiil , 'There Is Hie line nud we must
laUo it. ' The capture of iho fort on tliu
Tennessee river hy llio troups led by trunt !
followed.
"Tlieio wore the grand slrntegle features
nf lhal lirM movement , and It succeeded per
fectly. Ueneral Ilalleek's plan went further
not lo stop at bis first , line , which ran
through Columbiib , llolwing ( Sreeii crossing
tbo river al Henry and Uonelso'i , but to push
on to the second line , which ran through
Memphis nnd Charleston ; but tro'iulos ' Inter
vened at Nashville and delays fnllo\\eil : op
position to the last movement was
made , and 1 myself was brought
an actor on the scono. I re-member
our ascent on the Tenuesveo river ; I have
keen lonlgiit cuplalusnf fiti-.iniboals who lint
went with us there ; storms came und wo did
not i each tlio point we desired. Atthattiino
( Ieneral C. V. Smith was lu command. Ho
was a man Indeed. All tlio old onircr.s re
member him as a gallant and elegant olllct-r ,
and bad he lived probably sonm of us younger
follows would not have attained our 'present
positions.
" \Vo followed Iho line Iho second line-
ami then came tbo lumliiik" of forces al
I'lttsburg Landing. Whelhor it was n
mistake la landing them on the west
instead of tbo east bank It is not neces
sary now ID discuss. 1 think it was not a
mistalio. There was galhered the lirM great
army of tlio west , cominoncliitf with only
lii.OiW , then 'JO.UUO , then : iiiH , ( ) ( ) . and wo hall
iiboul ; ' . - > , Dim In thai battle , and all I claim for
that w tbat it was a contest for manhood.
There was no strategy. Grant was ihero
and others of us , all young at Hint lime and
unknown mon , but our enemy was old , and
Sidney.Iohnsonwhom all the ofllcnrs remem
bered as a Dower among the old officers , high
above Grant , mvself or anybody else , led the
enemy on Hint battlefield , and 1 almost won
der how \M iiniiieri'd. | Hut , as I remarked ,
it was a emit e.it for man hood- man to man-
soldier to soldier.Vo fought and wo held
our ground , and therefore ncic'intcil our-
selvevictorious. . From that time- forward
we had with us the prestige ; that battle was
worth millions anil millions to us by reason
of the fact of the courage displayed by the
brave soldiers on thai occasion , and from tbat
time to this 1 never heard of the lir.it want
ni c.mrngo . on the part of our northern sel-
diers. "
Sherman counted the war virtually ondcd
when Vieksburg was taken and "die Missis
sippi ran imve.xed to tbo sea , " but the con
federates would not have it so , and there bad
to bo more lighting. JotTorson Davis bad the
southerners well trained nnd ho rofusoJ to
ratify tbo work of the union armies.
MOVIMINTS : AIIAINST vu-icsiiriin.
lu November Sherman was assigned to Iho
coii.immd of Iho right wing of the army of
the Tennessee , ami conducted an o.xpedition
threatening Iho enemy's rear south of the
Talbibalol.lo river , and enabled ( ii-iiL-i-allii-aiil
to occupy I lie position without a light.
In December lio-hiivinj ; returned to
Memphis-was assigned to the command of
the fifteenth army cui-ps , still continuing ,
however , in the general command of iho
right wing of the army. In the middle of
the same month he orgaiii/ed nu expedition
composed of Iho Thirteenth nml Fifteenth
corps and moved down tbo Mississippi on
transports , with a view to an attack upon
Vioksburg from the y 11700 river , nuar Chick-
nsaw Hayoit and Hahics1 HluiTs. The sur
render of holly Springs , Miss. , enabling iho
enemy to concent rate at. the point of attack ,
frustrated the efforts of Iho union troops.
Tlio terrible llgnllng of lecemb"r 7. ! is
and-.I settled the fuel lhal Ibo place could
not be taken by storm , ami tlio tmops wei-o

In this last action ( ieneral Sherman was

ducted the expedition upSteolo's bayou and
released Aumiral I'ortor'.s Meet of gunboats ,
which , havingbeen cut olland invested by ilio

captured. This expudition wa.i , perhaps , ono
of the most severe ever experienced by his
troops. They penentratcd through u country
outiiphy numerous and deep bayous and
swamps anil overgrown hy immense forests
of cottonwood anil cypress. Sherman , with
his usual determinalion , was not to ho

innii ever made his rank bus fell , ami ho had
intlmalo friends in every walk of life.
"Undo Hilly , " us he was called by his sold -
d tcrs , was tin1 favorite subject of camp flro
atiecdote.s , and a number of storle.s are told
UliiMrating his roiKli-aiiil-rendy inauner of
condiictiiii ; huslness nml his qiilclttiMs at re-
parteo. Sliotlly after Iho niillnvnk of the
rebellion stiurumii was sent \Vnshlnglon ,
wliero ho w.xs phit-nd In charge or a number
of new luvics all three months' mon. Their
Ideas In regard lo disciplhio were as misty as
Ihey were liberal , and It was hard to con
vince the oOh'ors ' and men that they could
not do exactly us they pleased , it bapoened
that the term of enlistment lor several regi
ments ran out , lint Ibey were not discharged.
This the men regarded' a great hardship ,
and many walked off without asking per
mission of any ono , and betook themselves
to their homes. Ono morning us I'olouel Sher
man was crossing Long Mridgn , he met a
major under hit command In full uniform ,
making toward the city. He r.sltnd him whv
ho wan absent from his post , ami the major
replied that Ibo tlmo for which ho had en
listed had expired , and tbat , ho meant to go
homo. Shoriiriti saw that strong measures
were necessary and said :
"If you don'l iilonco go to your regiment
I will shunt you. "
The major stood not on the order of his
iroing , but retired with speed. On thn fol-
lowinir day tboro was a divisional rovlow
and Sherman was .silling on his horse , near
I're.sldcnl Lincoln's carriage , when the
olllcer with whom bn bad t lie encounter approached
preached and desired to maUon complaint to
the pivMdi-nt. "I wish lo complain of
C'oliiiiel Shonnnti , " ho wild. "Yesterday I
started to go to the city and ho told 1110 he
would shoot mo If I did not return to camp. "
Leaning over tlio carriage and speaking in a
whisper that was perfectly audible to nil in
the vicinity , Mr. Lincoln said : "Mv friend ,
if I were in your place , and If Sherman sniil
thai lo mo , 1 would not fry to leave camp ,
for he looks Jnsl Mice a man who would keep
his word. " The major retired in confusion ,
amid shouts of languid * from the bystand
ers , aii'l ' there were no more attempts al
irregular departures in Slierman's command ,
( ieneral Sherman was never a respecter of
rank and at times spoke his miml freely in
regard to the value of irenoral ofilcors. On
oao occasion , while oovrinir ViclMiurg , ho
was snort of transportation and hnbad made
hi'Veral reiiiKitions. | Ono day when beas

of this occurred in 171 ! , ( lUiu-rnl - Sherman's

displays of academic eloquence were long.
Sherman .stepped out of the chapel and his
nliscnco was not noticed for some lime. When
it was observed , n disputation of the faculty
rushed oil" to discover their distinguished
guest. Their quest was of short duration.
On a liench in front , of the chapel ( Son-
cnil Sherman was .sealed pulling
Ids cigar and engaged in a
animated < -oavor-alion with an exceodintrly
dilapidalod negro , who had just been dis
charged from the workhouse , mid who was
smoking one of thn general's llavanas. Ho
felt the need of n smoke , saw no reason why
ho should not talco a cigar without disturbing
anyone and had fallen into conversation with
tin- only other oeciipanlof the park bench.
II afterwards was niiidu evident that General
Shot-nun in his short conversation had
learned more about the manner in which the
New Haven workhouse was conducted limn

A Southern Opinion.
A southern editorial opinion of fleneral
Sherman's well known avonlim lo nu olllcial
position iu civil life is of interosl at this tlmo ,
especially as it coaios from n ( Jeer la paper ,
tbo Atlanta Constitution : "It will bjof in
terest just i > ow to recall a notabloclTorl made
some years ago to porsuadoeneril ( ! Sherman
to enter politics , In .May , | ssi , Mr. Bhiine ,
although strongly suspected of courting the
republican nomine.tlon for Ilio presidency ,
wrote to ( iDiier.il Sherman and bogged him
to accept nomination , insuring him that
it would bean ea.fy matter to obtain it. In
reply the ( general , niter courteously declining
the honor ild : 'I made arcsnlvu forty years
ago never to outer politics. The brightest and
best jont.hof our land have been drawn into
that maelstrom , and their wrecked fortunes
strew iho beach of the ocean of time. My
niomory , even in its Mmrt time , brings up the
names'of victims by Iho hundreds , if not
Ihonsands.1 Now , Ibis Is lite talk of a strong
man , with a firm purpose , not to bo swayed
by tliu ordinary temptations which move
mon. Doubtless it was fort mint for the
country thai Sherman do.spisod politic * and
scorii'-d ' the presidency. Ilo was a born die-
lntor-u soldier to the core and if bo had
ever readied Iho white house ho would have
run the government by military methods ,
turning it into a despotism. I lo was uniltteil
for oflleinl position in civil lifo , nml , knowing
It , ho had Ilio good sense and patriolfsm never
to seek it. "

Grnornl Shornmn used to lell lliat whim
traveling In Ireland ho was once serenaded

delight tlio musicians played "Marchinrf
