. Tue Terms or, SHenman.—The recent
‘news from Sherman was received by none
swithout. astonishment, and -all °loyal men
ead the terms which he offered the rebel
_Jobnston, whose-army he held in his grasp,
With feelings of indigiétion; that's Union
General, whose reputation was as bright as
any upon: the page of history, and whose valor-has made his name a household word
thougliout the land, should propose terms to
traitors which would disgrace vur Government and humblethe American name through
out the world. The terms offered by Sher;
man toJohuston could net bave been. in
dorsed by the Administration without surrendering‘all we have been fightingfur, and
as Sherman entered. into negotiations ipon
political matters, he assumed the right of
disobeying explicit instructions from the
President. Stanton in giving his instruc:
tions to Grant said: “He (the President)
. instructs me to-say,that you are not to de. gide, discuss—or—confer-upon any—political
question. Such questions the President
holds in his own hands, and will submit
theni to no military conferences or conven+
~=tions.” “In obedience to this instruction
~ Grant aceepted the surrender of Lee’s army.
Sherman. was instructed to offer-the-terms
. accepted by Lee to Johnston, but in direct
disobedience to the above orders to Grant,
he proposed to conclude the war and settle
all political questions at issue. According’
to his terms, forty-eight hours notice was to
be given befuro the resumption of hostilities.
The rebels were td-be permitted to carry
their arms to their respective State capitals,vach to file an agreement t obey the State
* gad Nationat mithority. He attémpted to
bind the National Government, to recognize
the State governments, their officers and
Legislatures, upon their taking the oath,
‘and Where two Legislatures existed to leave
the matter to the Supreme Court. The rebele: were to be permitted to enjoy the rights
of person and property, including the right
‘tohold slaves we suppose, undisturbed by
t authority. General Sherman assumed the-right of closing the war by giving
the best possible terms to the’rebels. Had
they been furnished the blank paper upon
‘which to write the terms, they could not have
demanded more than they Were offered. At
the time this was done be cannot-be excused
_ upon the ground of necessity, for ha-had the .
army of Johaston in his power. Lee had
given up the contest and could not aid the
rebel army of North Carolina. Sherman
could have crushed Johnson and added fresh
and brighter laurels to his already great
name. But for some unknown reason the
‘wagacity of Sherman wes at fault, and he
suffered himself to fall a victim to the strat~ egy of Johnston. He suffered Davis to eseape and opened the door by whieh Johnston could get away. Had not the Government promptly . repuiliated the proposed
terms and sent Grant to asaume. control in
North Carolitia the result would have been.
. serious, butas itis, cun only seoure a delay of
@ few days. Taking the most favorable
view of Sherman's conduct he has shown
-bithself'totally incapable as a negotiator.—
But how much confidence. will be inspired
by the prompt action taken by the Govern.
ment ia this matter. The President, his eotire Cabinet and the Lieutennnt Genera)
promptly repudiated the terms, showing that
it matters not how high may be the name
@ad fame of a man, he must be removed if
attempts to compromise the honor of the
mation, This last act will teach rebels that
the Government is not. to be trifled with,
While it will assure friends that the strong
arm of authority will be used to punish those
who have attempted to destroy the nation.

4own some. time ago has sent forth its blades
of grass, and the lot is now elothed in a
magnificent suit of green.” The locust trees

fs Gitizéts meeting, to be held at the Methodist Church, “il be largely attended, in order that a fair expression of the wishes of
the people may be obtained. At no time
was it more’ necessary that good business
men should be selected for Trustees than
now. If the finanees are properly managed the ‘corporation will not owe a dollar
on the first day of December next. The
-taxeswill belight-and ouf @itizens will enjoy all the benefits of the city government
without being heavily burdened. We doubt
if there is-a-city-in the State which is so
nearly clear, of debt as Nevada. In addition to this we want a Board of Trustees
who will use every possible meansin order
to. secure a thorough and efficient organization of the Fire Department. The dry season is rapidly approaching and.we should be
prepared to meet, the fiery element. A little energy directed to the reorganization ‘of
the Fire Department may save an immense
loss of property. Other matters of-equal
. importance will be brought before the Trustees, and the very best men in the. city
should be selected for the office, There
citizens will come out. ~~But if our business
men and good citizens ‘permit the meeting
to go by defanlt, and a few who havo their
own selfish purposes to secure to control its
action, who can tell the damage which will
result to the ¢ity. We hope that every man
who desires ‘fo see good government and
prosperity in this city will be on hand to
night and ‘exert himself in securing this desirable end.

Eastern News.—Secretary Seward is
reported free from pain and stronger. His
recovery seems to be assured. _
Stanton announces that the War Departmént has information that the conspiracy for
the assassination Of President Lincoln was
organized in Canada and approved at Richmond.
“Itis said to be ascertained that Booth had
his leg fractured by his horse falling on-him
on the night of the murder, and is probably
concealed somewhere in Maryland.
President Johnson has delivered another
important address, indicative of stern and
radical policy. Arrangementi have been
made to prosecute the war with overwheluning energy. NG
Jeff. Davis at last accounts crossed the
Mississippi river at Tucker's Bend, trying
to get away to Texas. He has half a mitlion in specie with him.

~ BEAL AND BAKER.—We learn that these
two men, whe were lately convicted of the
murder of Delaney, says the Eugene City
Review, have madé a confession of their
guilt. Their confession. implicates sevear!
others, and the greatest excitement has pre-.
vailed in Salem since the 12th, the day on
Which the confession was made public. The
main facts of the confession are not yet made
public: It is suid that the Sheriff has in
charge two or three men who are implicated
m the murder as accessories after the fact.
Some interesting. developments may be
looked for, — hth
CusToms.+—The receipts for duties at the
Custom-house from the 13th tothe 2Uth inst.,
inclusive, amount to $60,354 30, making a
total for April of $177,923 86, and since Junuary Ist of $2,103,997 94.
