NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 6, 1875.-QUADRUPLF SHEET. nn GENERAL SHERMAN. An Interview with the Author ot “The Memoirs.” THE CRITICS CRITICISED. A Candid Talk About Generals Blair, : Logan and Howard. TIIE THIRD TERM DISCUSSED. President Grant’s Favorite Candidate. CHI0AG0, I., June 6, 1875, The author ef the book entitled “Memoirs of General W. T. Sherman, written by himself,” is in vhis city, having come to give hia personal super. Msendence to the tmportant matrimonial cam- paign upon which his subordinate, Lieutenant General Philip H. Sheridan, has justentercd. As eriticlsm of the ‘Memoirs’ has been active and pungent one of your representatives called on the vuthor to give him opportunity to reply to bis oritics. THE VOLUNTEER ARMY. General Sherman said, laughingly, “I very much prefer to leave that alone until their criticisms | treallin. Ihave very little to say about it. I | knew very weil that the volumes would cali forth | } great deal of comment, and I am willing, | mdeed, anxious, that it shoula elicit the Bost thorough criticism; I am sorry to | wee that some portions of it have been | misunderstood—indeed, misrepresented—in some quarters. For instance, it has been said that a | portion of it seemed to reflect disparagingly upon | the volunteer army, but I should be, J think, well enough known by this time for my belief in the | eMctency and love for the volunteer army to be Above question. I always loved volunteers, and was ever projouudly impressed with their cour- age. In no part o! the book have I ever alluded to ‘hem but with affection and respect. Jt was my constant care to write these “Memoirs” in @ most fespectful and careful vet) the feelings of anybody. ' BLAIR AND LOGAN. “It has veen said that I wrote the book as a Weapon against Blair and Logan; but this is an Assertion utterly groundless, unjust and absurd. { Dave‘ always bad the greatest admiration for | oth gentlemen as soldiers, and never ques- Honed for @ moment thelr patriotism or | ability, All the reference that I nave made to them in the book has been done in a most re- spectiu) way. In reference to my appointment of Howard to the Army of the Tennessee instead of Blair or Logan, | thought then, and [ think now, | that it was the wisest appointment. I could not belp jeeling then that, admitting the military | ability of these gentiemen, they would, perhaps, | ve induced to subordinate that ability to the ‘artherance of a political iuture and the gaining | of politicalends. Howard was the man I wanted for. the place, for he was a technical soldier, and I felt sure that ne would de-— vote his whole time and energy to the single | work of commanding that army. His ambition | was simply to command that army. It was lim- | ited to that amd stayed there, as we say in the army. Success is the end of the discussion, and | ts the campaign was eminentiy successful it vin- Gicated the choice. I think my inward prediction | at the time was vindicated, for Logan and Blair came back and devoted themselves to making tpecches. Howard was a thorougbly good techni- cal soldier, and was tne right man for the post. | But for the abiilty and patriotism of either Blair | or Logan | never entertained the slightest doubt, nd any impression to the contrary is & misap- | prehension of the gravest character.” | WAS HOWARD A MARTINET? RerortEr—Was not Howard « good deal ofa martines ? General SHERMAX—Ne, be did not deserve to be tailed a martinet. He was only precise, unflinch- \wgly precise, and in transportation of troops | \cross country and by various roads it needs pro! miipentiy the faculty of precision to avoid col- } isions and serious mistakes. | JEFF DAVIS AS & CRITIC. | ReporteR—Jeferson Davis is going for you with- | out gioves. G-heral SHERMAN (With haif @ smile)—Weil, | aon’t see that I need care very mucn about the eriteism of Jom Davis, anyhow. “aR YOU NOT SORRY TOU Dip IT?’ Reponren— he criticism of the press, reviewed \s a whole, wonld seem to tena toward a verdict wf regret that the book was published in your ifetime.

REPORTER—The policy of publishing the work in your lifetim: is been questioned. General SHERMAN—As to that, it makes but little difference, 1! any good end has bi served. The “Memoirs” were all written at least four years ago. [had them sealed up, and did not intend that they should be published until after my death, but was prevailed on to allow their publica- tion now. The time has come when tne history of the war period must be incorporated into na- tional history. Bancroft has already written several volumes of his “History of the United ' States,” and he lately came home from werlin ex- Pressly to gather materials for another volume. Is was at his urgent personal solicitation, com- bined with that of the historian, Dr. John Draper, of New York, that I allowed the “Memoirs” to see the lignt. RerorTer—The work ts having a large sale. General Suenman—Yes; Iam, of course, grati- fled by that, as by the terms upon which the book was placed in the hands of the pubiishersa certain proportion of the revenue from it goes to my fam- tly. It belongs entirely to the children—is se- cured to them—and I have nothing further to do with tt. PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS. REPORTER—Politics are likely to be lively next year, General? General SHERMAN—Yes, {t is bighly important for the interests of the country that we should have an able man for President next term. Reronten—What do you think about the thira term proposition? bi General SHERMAN—General Grant does not want it, He might like to see one of his friends elected | to the office, but he does not want it himself. GRANT'S CHOICE. RePorteR—Who ts it what you think he woula like to see elected? General SHERMAN—Possibly Elihu H. Washburne; | dat, of course, it is all surmise. Only one thing is certain, vhat is, that itis vitally necessary that it should be a man of ability. WILSON’S CAMPAIGN. REPORTER—Wiison is making bimself active, travelling acout and miking speeches, and a good | Many people think he 1s making an effort for the nomination. Genera! SHERMAN—Wilson is very able and a very good man, and has certainly earned the mght to inaulge in the ambition if he chooses to do so. Still, don't think anything should be in’erred from bis travelling about and speechmaking. H bas been in poor health, and travelling diverts and interests him at tne same time. : SHERMAN AT COLUMBUS, Reronten—Peopie were surprised to hear of your making @ speech at the Convention at Go- | lombus the other day, General. General SareMan—There was nothing of a po- litical character about the speech, and (smiling) they needa’t bother themselves about me. GOES FOR A DRIVE. At this point the accomplished wife of tne Gen- erai appeared, and he commenced a oirriage movement in the parks. He is certainly as cheer- fal apd chatiy as though the ‘Memoirs’ hi brought hornets’ nests about his ears.

President Grant's Summer Life at His Cottage, EFFECT OF THE BOSTON GOSSIP. The Impression Made by General Sherman’s Book. THE COTTAGES BY THE SEA. Lona BRANCH, June 5, 1875. This famovs seaside watering place begins to show signs of awakening for the summer season of 1875, aud all the indications point toa time of unusual gayety and excitement. Long Branch bas survived the competition of many ambitious towns emulous of the honor awarded to Brighton and Nice, and ts rapidiy assuming the position of the metropolis of summer cities, In many re- spects Long Branch is peculiarly favored. It 1s within easy reach of New York and at the same time is not a great journey irom Philadelphia. The claims of Rockaway, Coney Isiand, Fire Isiand, Canarsie, Hempstead beaches and other contiguous Atlantiostretches, formerly the summer resorts of the metropolis of New York, have given way to Long Branch, which now seems to have embarked upon a career of uninterrupted pros- Perity. A great deal of interest has attached to Long Branch, because of the fact that 1t has be- come, In some respects, the summer capital of the nation. Here President Grant comes to pass tne torrid days. Itis to him what the Rip Raps were to Presiaent Jackson, Kinderhook to Van Buren and Bedford Springs to Buchanan. It is even more than this, because President Grant has, among other things, set the example or giving tne country a summer 3 well as @ winter capital. Even as ambitious and successful @ place as Long Braxch is not insensi- ble to the advantage of having a reai lion itke a real President among tts attractions, This season the President has come earlier than usual on ac- count of an interesting domestic event which it is believed is impending. Ihe President arrived on Thursday evening by spectal car trom Washing- ton, accompanisd by Mr. Babcock and several Members of the various branches of his family. His house has been put in order and looks very bright and inviting with its fresh coat of paint and its unique imitation of Swiss architecture. HABITS OF THE PRESIDENT. The President’s babits at Long Branch are simple. Your correspondent saw him quictiy pacing up and down this morning in front of his cottage. Years and ambition and oficial cares Go not seem to tell upon the face of the President, Itts no longer the familiar face that has became an filustration to our history, because be has cut Ns beard to a diferent and closer shape from that which bas heen bis habit of wear- ing ttsince he became President. If one might be allowed tocriticise the comeliness of so illus- trious @ personage it would be to suggest wo His Excellency that the change 1s altogether for the better, If anything Grant has amore stubborn and less expressive | face than before. He fels great satisfaction at es- caping from the heats of Washington, and willnot return to the capital unless summoned there by ‘The Indian question postponed his visit. Ittsa question to which he bas given @ good deal of time, and he was anxious to have it settled before leaving Washington. He does not despair of ad- Jousting the relations between the government and the Indians upon a permanent basis, Thus far mach that we have done tn dealing witn tne In- Gian trioes has been simply an experiment. The preponderance of the whites over the red men and the sure and rapid decay of the tribes who once possessed thus continent makes the solation of the problem easier and easier as we go un. GENERAL SHERMAN’S MEMOTRS, The President is reading with some interest General Sherman’s “Memoirs of the War.” His criticism of the book is more cousiderate ana iriendly than any that have yet been evolved. He thinks the work isa remarkably gooa one, full of interest and vivacity, and is far ‘rom join- ing in the censures which more impetuous | eritics have visited apon the General | army. He has wot | book as he had been led to expect from the read- ing of the criticism in the pre! nd, of course, as to tne judgment passed by General | Sherman upon conspicuous characters in the war, be has nothing (0 say. He hes | passed bis own judgment upon so many of them, | from time to time, in reports that have not been | published, as well as in réports that are now in | the War Department, that tt would be ungrateful | for him to deny Sherman this privilege, cussion of all the events of tne warat a time when hundreds of thousands of witnesses are living to deny or confirm tne trutn ef the Generai’s | assertions. Nor does he think that there will be Any question between General Sherman and him- self as to the merit attending any of the operations of the war. There is glory enough for all, giory certainiy enough for General Sherman, and all the cam- | paigns are so much @ part of one general pian | bei it Would be diMeuit indeed for all the gen- | who nad bigh commanas, and especially one | with genius as fertile and restiess as that of Sherman, not to nave in more than one essential degree contributed to the general resuit. THE BUNKER AILL MONUMENT visrT. The supposition that General Grant wiil visit the firmed by anything your correspondent couia learn. The discussion about the bill in- | currea by the commitiees who had enter- tained President Grant has jarred upon bis sensiviliiies. Not only the President members of his Caoinet resent this treat- ment on the part of the local authorities in New England, and you may accept it 18 coming trom | the bignest authority that neitner the President nor any one of ots Cabinet or staff will again sanject themselves to the extraordinary indignity whieh has been put toon them. The truth is that ou the last trip to New Kogland the local authorities and the Various comnitttess who bad charze of the visiting quests, and espeeraliy the President, were lavish in taeit courtesies, aud took puins to enter. tain them ali with sumptuous and unsparing bos pitality. The atremp', therefore, of some mem- bers of the pmiLsee OF Of oUtside oritles to make it appear that the President and his friends turned & simple patfivtic érrand into scenes of dfssipation is naturally resented. The President Will, therefore, not be & guest of any centennial celebrations that are to be held in Massacnusetis.

GROWTH OF THE BRANCH. There was # ruinor that Senator Jones, of Ne- vada, was to have built a cottage on the Branch, but this is not confirmed, In the last two or three years Long Branch nas largely inoreased, and if we embrace Deal snd Seabright ana ether litte villages that extend almost as far as the Hign- lands, 1s may be considered as a city in itself, several miles in lengtn, and during the summer | sbould think 18 entertains many thousands of guests. None of the hotels are open, but the proprietors are all very busy preparing for the season. In few days Long Branch will bein the full tide of activity; and, from the appearance now, it seems that the season of 1875 will be the most brilliant in its history. WASHINGTON. Wasuinaron, June 5, 1875, THE LOST PACKAGE YET UNDISCOVERED—GREAT ANXIETY AT THE TREASURY. The ireasury detectives still seem completely in the dark concerning the missing package of money, and say today that there are no develop- ments whatever. The gi men employed in the cash room express themselves as being in a condition of painial suspense, which can only be relieved by the solution of this mysterio pearance of funds, General Spinner day to be absolutely worn out with anxiety. Charges have been made to the effect that several banks who have sent packages of money to the Treasury, after careful count, have been reported short in their remittances by the Treasury, and that im consequence the banks have been required to make up the defictt. Treasury omficers who have been interrogated on this mat- ter say that, 40 far as thetr knowledge goes, such disvoveries have been rare, and with conclusive evidence that the banks had made a miscount in sending their remittances for redemption or otherwise, ang that assurances (rom bank officers that their counts were correct whenever sent to the department have received attention, and careful examination has shown nothing wrong in the department, place the one reported lust. THE COTTON CROP—RETURNS OF THE DEPARI- MENT OF AGRICULTURE. The Department of Agriculture 1s now receiving the June returns of cotton, which will form the basis of the estimates of area of the present crop. During May preliminary returns were received from 316 cotton counties. In sixty- three counties in Georgia the area averaged the same as last year, a6 also in the district repre- | sented in North Carolina, Floridaand Texas, A | reduction offone per cent appears in thirty-nine | counties in Alabama; Of two por cent in eighteen | counties in Scuth Carolina, and of three per cent in | thirty-eight counties in Arkansas. ‘The average | Teduction 1s eleven per cent in Louisiana | and nteen in Tennessee, but there are only twenty counties represented that the full retarns in June may make a diner. ent showing. The season is reported late in pearly every instance, from ten days to two weeks | and even four | generally, but in some cases th: weeks, More than two-thirds of the returns make the season too wet, especially in the time of piant- ing and germinating. In some districts the past two weeks have been too dry, The stand ts re- ported good in a majority of the returns from | North Carohna, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, | | Mississippi and Texas; rather above the average | in Arkansas and Tennessee, and scarcely average in Louisiana, The condition is represented below the average in Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas; sigttly below in Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, amd average in Alabama and jn the Carojinas.
