prominent Philadelphians, of both political parties, to give a handsome dinner to those Democratic Congressmen who shall vote in favor of the proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery. So far, the list of such members embraces the names of George H. Yeaman, of Kentucky; Austin A. King and James S. Rollins, of Missouri; Moses F. Odell and John A. Griswold, of New York; Myer Strouse, Josiah Bailey and Archibald McAllister, of Pennsylvania; and Ezra Wheeler, of Wisconsin. General Sherman has written a letter, denying the report that he was opposed to changing the status of slavery in the South, and saying that he is in favor of putting all the able bodied negroes obtainable in the army.

In any event, there is no reason to believe that an effort will be made to carry the works by which
