"When In 1858 Philip II. Sheridan
found profitable. 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.
