A STATESMAN TO -BE TRUSTED. In all the history of the pirty which saved the republic, st rack i the chaics from the slaves, enfranchised the color ed man and.wiped out the one dismal stain upon the fair fame of the -government that was founded by Washington, there stands out the name of no man more 'iromn$niy than lDat Jna Sherman. In all the muster, roll of the names of illustrious persons and states men who have swayed he fortunes of that party, valiantly and cheerfully bearing its burdens or toils in the dark hours of doubt, discouragement and persecutions amounting in -the eyes of the world to disgrace, and in the hour of its fierce trial when it gave bold bat tle for the (advancement of civilization and the regeneration of mankind, bearing about him with grand titead-. fastness and unilinching fidelity, no man's name reflects a brighter glow, or stands credited with higher aehiev ments thau that of John Sherman. Beginning with the beginning, he was a Republican. -He naturally affil iated -with tuat party, to which from the very moment of its birth the su preme iuterests of humanity have been confided, as the hardy oak sends his sturdy limbs up iuto the purer 'air and brighter sunshine farnbovc the dwarfed and dwindling; growth that 'spends its short and .futile life groveling at its base. Ilia every impulse has been that of a high minded, pure hearted, patrL otic humanitarian. Search his record and ten 114 wnereiu no nas ever laueii short of the attempt at the fulfillment of the noblest impulses. Study his life and show us wherein he has been Dther than the highest type of maa. We kindle intoj enthusiastic admira tion : for the glorious achievements ol General Grant, the heroic and accom plished soldier, the ardent and faithful II . t t 1 ' patriot, ana we are proud to belong to a nation that. has in honoring him so honored itself. But We abate no iot or tittle of our claim that to John Sherman shall be awarded equal honor, equal resvard. While General Grant at the front directed the . armies that were to crush out a rebellion, wrong and causeless, and we feel that we have earned the right to so characterize it, and we do so without fear, at that mo ment John Sherman was doing no less desperate battle in his place in the "United States Senate beating back .1 a. 1 1 t i il i 1 tne unnatural uisioyatcy at. me nouu that aimed the coward's blow afc the father's life, keeping in courage and heart a worn and fainting people, fill ing the Viins of patriotic endeavor with with the healthy blood of heroic deter mination, holding up the hands of the soldier hero, who without such aid would have fallen and failed, garnering and; making secure the fruits of the C09tlv victory, and with the nobly won opportunity broadening and strength ening the foundation of the newly pure ly born republic. The courage and wisdom and patriotism that John Sher man was animated by was in no regard less worthy of our grateful recognition than that of Gen. Grant. Mr. Sherman is a Republican bv every iustinct of his strong and patriotic nature. He has never swerved from hia adherance.to the broadest and most squiring creed of lhat great party. It would seem that with his mother milk he drank in the inspiration of qu;ti rights to all men' the shibboleth . of all enlightenment and progress, the 'watch word of the great humanitarian organization. When others fainted in the heat of the conflict or sunk weak ened and despairing beneath their wounds, or allured by the deception ol false ambition strayed away from the true path, deserted the camp and drop- I 1 t- ! 1 1 i -Tl Ol peuout oi me j ligut.-douu cjueriuau stood like a rock, and never for an in stant relaxed his loftv Dumose. . i - .

The Prince Imperial, the only son of Louis Napoleon and Queen Eugenie is repoitod to have been killed by the Z ilus. He was probably about 24 years of age.- Since the faU'of the Emperor he has resided in England with his cioilur at Chiselhurst, and has been traiii'.il at the military school at Wool wich, lie went to Africa to participate in tlietVar with the Zulus and was in the E 'tilish army. His' death leaves Prince Napoleon as the next heir to ih3 French throne in case of the re storation of the Bonopartists. . The official account of Prince Na poleon's death says : The Trince with Lieut. Cary, of the 08th Regiment, six men and one friend ly Zulu, left camp at Keletzi mountain, seven miles beyond Blooduar, on the 1st inst., for a reconnoisance. The party halted and unsaddled when ten miles from camp. , Just as the Prince gave the order to remount, a volley was fired lrom ambnsh in the Ions Lieut. Cary and four of the troopers returned to camp, and re- ported the Prince and two troopers inisiflg, i rom tneir statements there could be no doubt that the Prince wps di led. A party of the Seventeenth Lancers, with an ambulance, started oh the "II instant tO' recover the body of the rnnce which was lound and brought in on the same dav. A special to the Daily News adds the f llowing particulars : "The body of the Prince, when found, lay oh its back. There were eighteen assegai in it, two ot tnem piercing tne body from the chest to the back, two in the side, and one destroyed the right eye. A locket, with nair, medal lions, and a reliquary, were found around his neck. His lace wore a placid expression. He had evidently ineffectually tried to mount, and the leather of the flap tear ing, he ran along the path to where -he was founds Two troopers lay near the body, both having been assegaied. The Ptiuce was very adventurous." "I he news of the death nf the Prince Imperial reached London at a late hour last night. About one o'clock this morning it was circulated in the lobbies of the House 'of Commons, when, in reply to inquiries, Col. Stanley, Secre- fary of the State for War read the official telegram. Lord Sydney, an old and tried friend of the Imperial family, has left for Chiselhurst to break the , news to the Empress Eugenie. The London journals: wniie deplor ing the Prince's death, regard it as the end of Imperialism in Jb ranee. Prince Napoleon, who has become the head of the line, is a Democrat 'in politics and is distasteful to the entire' Bonapartisl party. He has two sons, aged 17 and J 6 years respectively. 'Party loyalty may fasten around the name of one of these sons, but for the present Imperial counsel mustj be distracted, and the possibility of the return of the Eupire must appear more shadowy then ever.
