If net congenial, eccu patlen In the Ohie canals, lie would have thought lliu wonders of Alnddin ceme again, If he Iiml been told that there was a future for hlin when the 1W8 of tlie country would glve hltn blither military rank and the treasury of the United Stales would glve him a salary Rreater than Washington's. Almest last In a class of fifty at Weft Telnt, the dull young lleiltenunt found himself of little scrvlce In the army of the United Slates, and llke his friend Grant fell out te seek his fertune in n less clroumseribed vlneyard. During the first three years of the war his mill tary education served him little better than the lntultive aptitudes of scores of ethers who had entered from civil life. He was a resolute, but unenterprising Beldler, nnd though he did his prescribed diilles at iStoiie Klver, Perryville and Chlckamauga, he did nothing that in like cases ether soldiers would net have done equally as well. It was, hevvevei, his gel fertune te coma Inte congenial relations with Grant at Chattanooga net in the exer cise of military functions or tlie display of exceptional sagacity. In the fullness of time he was translated te the At my of the Potomac and, ever the gay diet r of City Point, the geed impression made In the west was confirmed. When Early made the Valley the storehouse of the Richmond rebels, the fragments ff the misdirected armies of Hanks, Hunter and Slgel were gathered into one effective force, and, with the addition of two corps from Richmond, placed under the supreme control of the lucky raider who had wen the gi tiff affection of the com mander In chief. Contending with the shattered corps and half starved maraud ers of Enrlv'a restless array, Sheridan, mere ty goeJ luck than peiseual ad dress or atralegie combination, succeed ed In throwing th intrepid raider en the defensive and forever relieved thn childish alarms of the headquarter marplets as te a sudden seizure of Wash iagteu. Fer this prowess Sheridan whs by the indulgent partiality of Ins cum minder given the highest rank in the regulai armies of tl.e union, and when the grade of general was revived, Meade. Thern n. II inenck, RKPeraus, Warreu, and ; halfscoie mere et men of real military genius, were ignored, and the rough rider curled ever their worthier beads te the distinguished pest or lieutenant general Advanced thus te a fortiinesurpassing hli wildest dreams, even greattr honeis were te fall te bin?. Through tne re tireieeut of General S.ierm.iu he steps in, by vlr.ue of his li'ute;i.uit eeiier.iley, te tie 'einui.md of nil the armies; and, simultaneously with tins promotion, the signal te prolong the gr.ul of general for bun is given, by the rxdrlcians of the Grand Army of the Republic. The grade of general was created f.u Grant aud wheu he, vacated it for the presi dency il was continued fr General Sherm.t 1, with the aciuieseeti,! f the country. Tun reason, however, whieh justified Us survival in hi cts; de net enter Inte the proposal t' c in.tinue P for Sheridan. Shurnr.iu's services during the civil war were net second te Grant's and iniy honor the country bestowed wns well wen. There ute twenty officers still surviving who performed mere brilliant nchievments than Sheridan. His fame is idei.tilled with but two or three operal'ens, In neti of which the highest qualities of a cunmander were displayed. He has been ptld far beyond Ills deserts in the r.i'ik et lieutei . ant general aud given a recognition due only te the foremost military abilities in the rank of general in chief. It is in genieusly insinuated that hcridaii's translation te general will bring the lieutenant ceneralcy te Hancock. Tins is thrown in te prepesses the fiiends of that officer In favor of the scheme. Hut no friend of Hancock will be for a me ment caught by this bait. General II hi cock stands foremost in tlie hearts of bis countrymen for intrrnld seldiership. Ne promotion can give him mero en . during fame : add, thorough Democrat that he is, he would be the last te con sent te the precedent involved in the creation of useless guide? in time of peace. We liave no armies te warrant the rank sought te be continued in the person of Sheridan, aud no geed citizen will seek te perpetuate empty titles, when they cost the public money and add nothing te the e3leem in which faithful services are held by the coun try. Thk Democrats in the Legislature have- taken the result et the election as a popular intimation in favor of adjourn ment. The hopelessness et expecting the Republican Legislature te abandon their " ultimatum," after having carried the state In the face of it lu se apparent thut the lower Heuse of the Legislature wisely abandons all expectation of it. It was a natural supposition en its part that the people would take sufficient in terest iu the position taken by the De mocracy in favor of the execution of the constitutional mandate, te justify it by their verdict ; but they have net done se, and it is wise te accept tlie situation and te leave the responsibility with the Seriate and the majority which has apparently sustained it.
