SIlEltMAN'S CONTEMPT For the Attack Mailt* Upon lllm by Wade Hampton?A Characteristic Interview. Naw Yobk, Feb. 8.?A Herald reporter 3 yestsrday interviewed General Sherman * in regard to the long article by Senator 3 Wade Hampton on the burning of Columbia, S. 0. The Senator's atory of that event filled eleven colurana of the Charles0 ton Newt and Couriir of the 5:h inat. The llerald Bays: o "Tho article from the beginning to the ] end of its eloven columns ia a bitter at< q tack upon General Sherman and bristles . ?...?V nl'Moaa an "ftAnnrul Khorman'u reckless disregard of truth," "utterly anf worthy of credit, hcohall be dealt with fa - all defamers deserve," "base and cowardly * assaults," "Sherman is convicted by hie J own statements of glaring inaccuracies, not 0 to uiie a harshor word," Jio. The ch aing - paragraph of Hampton's story begins; i, "There seems to be here tho usual dis. crepancy between the statements of Sher* p mau and those of trotbfnl pereono." 1 General Sherman read tho article yesa terday and then said: t GEN. HHBRMAN's POINTED REMARKS. 0 "Why, bless your soul, I have no answei j! to make to this stud. Lord bless you, it d isn't worth the troublo; it's such an old story. Wade Hampton knows as woll a* I do that I did not burn Columbia, but that ho did. I have told the utory iu my il memoirs. i- "Why, look here," and Gen. Sherman became earnest, "the town was cf nc earthly consequence in a military point ol [m view. It was not worth burning down, i* It waa a wretohed littl<? place?ot no more e account to as than a stump by the roady side. It wuo merely a stopping place foi I- the night, and we marched to Goldsboro >f the next day. I had more important o things to think of than the burning ol this i- stump by tho roadside.

Did you ever notice the " weakness of aomo of these southern iell? lows for blowing? How they'll talk :e about their splendid estates, their plan's tations, sir, when they have a few measly 0 acres worth about $5 an acre? Hampton ? ia of that sort. The whole question as tc J who burned Columbia was sifted by the 10 International Commission, a not over |? friendly body, before whom tho British lr owners of some of tho cotton destroyed hrnnoht thnir rlftims. If thflV could U03 jsibly havo shown that the United States troopc burned that cotton they would fit have done so. and they failed, and that Bottled it I" ' til An Kicttlug Campaign, p.

Record Show* that ha DU1 Not Advocute 'M r tr* ran n tan Utooflraoj." Cincinnati, 0.,Feb. 8.?The Commercial Gazette's Washington correspondent sends 1 an interesting interview with a leading Wert Virginian concerning Senator Kenna's late speech in dofenee of the Proeldent'a tariff policy. The West Viftinia gentleman says: i "Next to tbo Prpeident'a mesaage I think the moat amusing part of the Ad- * ministration performance is tbe appear- 1 i anceof Sir Knight Kenna in the Held in i i quest of Senatorial gore and glory. t i "It is painfully apparent that our West Virginia Senator is but auperllcially J i equipped; and his inability to make a f wand logical argumont of coureo prevent- c eel him from even comprehending the principles of the question diacusaed by the Ohio Senator. "If he had given the public what Mr. 1 Jefferson said upon tho question of pro* c tcclion to American industry wo woald B not probably have heard of this great Dsui- . ocratic speech. "Tho Democrato havo two or throe idtli 11 whom they worship according to the ue- e ceesity and circumstances of the case, v Now and tbon it is Jackson, especially in c the North since tho war. Bat at other times it is Jefferson, edpecially In the ? South. Mr. Jefferson, had Senator Kenna L noticed the fact, bo plain in history, fur- o ninhen proof of his agreement with the t principles of the Republican party, tho protectivo foatnre of tho tariff question a and of hie own ideas of genuine political 1 consistency. It will be noticed that some a vain anJ boastful novice made the same A charge of inconsistency against JeOorson C that Mr. Kenna makes against Senator 8horman." ii W'htr* do you find this in Jefferson's t writings?" I aaked. c "In his message of 1802," answered my ti friend. k 1 Jeflcrsou used these strong and clear p words of Kopnblican wisdom: c " 'To cultivate peace, and maintain commerce and navigation in ail their lawful v enterprises, to foster our juheriet as nurser- t lea of navigatioa and for the nurture of y our marine, and to protect the manufacture e adapted to our circumstances, aro land 4 mark* by which to gnido ourselves in all A oar procnedinga.' t "But farther, Mr. Jefferson was, in 1810, s questioned by some new-fledged exponents a of Democracy as to his alleged change of t ooinion. as inferred by ignorance from a superficial information. c "8i> he wrote to a Mr. Austin aa follows: "You tell me I am quoted by those who b wish to continue our dependence on Eog- c land for manufactures. There was a time * in which I might be quoted with more I candor; but within the thirty years which v liavo since claused, how have circum- g stances changed! Oomparo this etate of o things with that of 1785. and say whether n p.n opinion founded on the circumstances a of that day can be fairly applied to thnae p of tb? present. HV have experienced what g ute did not then believe, that there existe I both profligacy ami power enough to ex- f elude us from the field of interchange with I other nations; that to bo independent for t the comforts of life we must fabricate fa thom for ourselves. - We must now piece o the manufacturer by the side of the e farmer. The former question is suppressed, or rather has assumed a Dew form. The grand question now is, Shall we rnako our own comfort* p or go without them attho will of a foreign nation ? He, therefore, who is now against domestic manufacturers must be for reducing us either to a dependence on that nation or to be clothod in skins and live like wild beasts in dens and caverns. I am proud to say I am not one of these. Experience has now taught mo that manufacturers are now aa necessary to our independence as to our comfort; and if those who quote mo as of a different opinion will keep pace with me in buying nothing foreign, when an equivalent of domestic , fabric can be obtained without regard to difloronce of price, it will not bo our fault if we do not have a supply at home equal to our demand, aad wrest that weapon of distress from the hand which has eo wantonly wielded it/ "The senior Senator from West Virginia, pesing uj the Presidential special advocate, must seek elsewhere for authority in uupport of the labor-killing, poverty-maki iog creed of his political master. Doubtless nono of the older Democratic Senators, except probably Mr. Voorhees, woula ^ Imna Visit (ho (larHihnnil itl a 1nr>iH in tor. i val, to jump into a stream whose depths * , he had nevor sounded, or would have approached within rifle shot of the ever ready, globe-sightsd gan of the Ohio Senator." i I submit this interview to Mr. Konita ; for his prayerfnl consideration, and hope it will indnce him to continue his studies of Jeifrrson and his doctrines. He may find come moro things in Jefferson's writings that will astonish him. It appears to bo abont as good a specimen of history repeating itself as one could wish. 8omo young man attacked Jefferson for inconsistency on the tariff question just as young Mr. Kenna attack iid Mr. Sherman and accusod him of in; consistency upon the tariff question. > Senator Sherman made tho same reply to Konna that Jefferson made to his ac1 cuser.

Iavc.ttffttloa br the Senate Committee. Startling Testimony. Washington, D. 0., Feb. 8.?The inquiry with regard to lard and ita compounds began two weeks ago by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, before which is pending the bill to require lard compounds to ba stamped, was continued to-day, and interested parties to the number of twenty-iive or thirty, comprising manufacturers, attorneys and experts were present. Mr. Hill, of Boston, an employe of tiquire A Co., who are the proponents of the pending bill, produced samples of various compounds in tin pails, which he had purchased in open market and caused to be chemically examined. He testified aa to the compounds in each specimen, but the smut) matters wero more fully covered oy the next witness, Professor Bharpleas, of Boston, who had made the examination. A sample bearing the ntarap of Armour & Oo., "Pure Refined Family Lard," was found to contain about sixty per cant of hog's lard with twenty each of cotton seed oil and beef fat. A sample of Fairbanks k Co.'e, Chicago, "Prime Refined Family Lard," was made of the same elements, but a greater proportion of beef fat and cotton seed oil. A sample bearing the stauip of Halstead & Co., "Pure Family Lard," and another from the game firm stamped in Hpanisb, "Pure Lard, Registered," etc, contained, so far as the teste had been carried, not a particle of hog lard, but was made entirely of beef fat and cotton seed oil. Mr. Hill, who produced these samples, said he never heard of the firm of Hal* stead & Co. before, but had purchased the sample in a respectable neighborhood in Now York, fc'qaires' attorney produced a package of "Pure Loaf Lard" put up by Squires & Co., and purchased in open market by Prof. Sharpiess, which the latter testified was entirely a hog product ond contained no trace of anything else. He was questioned ot length about the methods of test and the comparative healthfulness of hog's lard, beef lata and cotton seed oil.

Entrance was ' effected by the murderers through a back j! .1 .1 U-..1 .-1 i 1 1 t uuuif tuujr urviuk wftou uut n pauoi uuu gj sawed oat the lock. tl Mr. Snell waa one of tbe largest real t< estate owners in Chicago, owning a large number of houses, which he rented, and jc all his business was transacted in the el baaoment of his own house, which was fitted up as au office. The windows and Jj doors were heavily barricaded, and there were several large safes in tho room in T.\ which the millionaire'd business was j? done. The theory in regard to the mur- " der is that a carefully planned robbery J* had been arranged. It was known that {{ during the first part of each month large !J sums of money?tho proceeds from Mr. f1 Snail's houses?were kept in tho base- 5,1 ment. It ia believed that the burglars j effected an entrance* in the house, and ^ wero at work at the safe, when Mr. Snell, 11 hearing the noiae, went down to the . basoment and surprised the thieves at ? their work. His body was fouud in tho hal', just at the entrance of hie office door, . Thw burglars who eutered Mr. Snell'a ? house had made a raid during the night ? on several houses in tho neighborhood, n the tracks in the enow showing that they went from one back yard to another. Upon reaching Mr. Snell'a they borod six- !; teen augur holes through the kitchen V door and finally effected nn entrance. From tho kitchen they proceeded to the ,f office which waa in the front of tho houee. Here, it appears, there waa nothing of any 01 value to them to be found. The eafe and deaka were filled with papers, and after ransacking theae, they proceeded up the ti stairs to the parlor floor. Tho door at the head of tho basoment stairs waa ekilfully forced, and the men were in the frout parlor, when it is sap- in poaed that Mr. Snell, who sleeps directly u above this room, heard them, lie left his bedroom and taking his revolver went re down the front stairs. The folding doors w leading'into tho parlor were shut, but it is fij supposed he heard the noise in the room, 0? for he tired a ahnt through the door. The ImrnlaM nnsnul tho dnnr an/I vatnvnad u( the fire. The ballet striking the wood- m work, and rebounding, hit Mr. Snell in Oi the breast, who then ran back toward the T< rear ball. The burglars must have follow- bi ed him and shot again, for the murderod man was found at the head of the base- ge ment atairu with a bullet hole jaat behind in the ear. cfl The Snell house ia a large, three-story el and basement etrueturo, solidly built of brick and stone, and one of the moat imposing residences in a neighborhood no- St ted for its line architecture. Its only occupants last night were its owner, a man sixty-four years old, two servant girls and ac two little girls, grandchildren o( Mr. Snell, who were spending a few days there. There is as yet no clew whatever to the burglars. All during the winter Chicago in has been overran with crooks and thieves W of every description, and many daring ct burglaries have been committed, the po* Hi lice being apparently nnable to stop them (3, or discover the criminals. n? Mr. Snell leaves a wife, two married L daughters and a son. Mrs. Snell and one le of the daughters, Mrs. Frank Ooffin, are at present on a vieit in Milwaukee. Mrs. th Snell is very ill and the news of her husband's death will he kept from her for the present. Mr. Snell was one of the wealthiest and best known residents of the West Side, and hod been connected with Uhica- w go's histoiy for a groat manv years. He wes born in Little Falls, N. Y., and came west in 1844, slopping for a few months in 0 Cincinnati end then coming to this city. iA little later he went to Mil wan Leo, re- .. turning here iu a year and opening a M hotel at Bch&umberg. After a renidence M of six years there he removed to Jetierson bi and thore laid the foundation of the for- i tune which at bis death amounted to tvnnnnnn HP HUUUV Ifo WW,WW. An extraordinary feature of the erimo bl ia the fact that although the murder was J1 committed abont 2 o'clock and the noise " of the shooting heard by the servant girls w at that time, tbey paid no attention to it, J] explaining tbeir action after the murder ^ had been discovered by saying that they Jf thought Mr. tinell had accidentally fired dl the shot. It was, tnercfore, not until 01 about 7 o'clock that the coachman who P: slept in the barn and entered the houBe 10 to look after the furnace, discovered the .w body of Mr. Snell. .?? . o Fate of ?

A meeting of the Council Committor) on rdinancea was held at tho Public Buildig last evening. There were present [essrs. Dobbins (chairman) Tracy, Gavin, [axwoll and McKown. The special asinesa the committee was called to condor was that part of the special message int to Council recently by Mayor Searight, in which he recommended that an rdinanco be psased compelling saloons i closo at 12 o'clock midnight, except hen granted a special permit to keep pen for a longer time by the Mayor or hief of Police. This was referred i thin p.nmmittpn and the mmmittan nr Bred the City Solicitor to draft each an rdinance except that it will contain no rovisiono abont a special pormit being sued by any one. The ordinance aa it ill be reported provides that every siion must be cloeed every night at 12 clock midnight and remain closed till 5 clock a. m , and on Saturday nighta hen closed at 12 o'clock thoy must retain closed till 5 o'clock Monday torning. And further, every night hen the saloons are closed, all blinds ad screens must be opened or removed, ) that the officers on duty can sen the , ar from the street. For violating any of le provisions of this ordinauce a fine of om $5 to $20 is imposod. The committee also decidod to report a ordinance repealing all present ordi- 1 ances in relation to loitering on the ;reota and about public placet*, tho new rdiuano to embrace all the iuatureq in je old ones, and with further provisions iat all persons over six years of age arc abject to its terms. This is dono in roponse to qaite a general demand for a kw of some kind that shall give the police better jurisdiction over young hoodimo who infest the streets at night and sake themselves especially annoying bout places of amusement. A petition from tho weighers of the city ad been referred to this committee, And no thing asked for was ordered granted, hey asked that the ordinance be amended n an to urant them all of the rf>n*inta at tie scales coming in between May 1 and tctober 1 of each year, their compenoaion to remain at otner times as it is now, 0 per cent, of the receipts. They repreented that since the introdnction of atural gas the decrease in the amount of oal weighed has so reduced tbeir income bat it will not average, the year round, aore than 40 or 50 cents per day, and bey are obliged to be at the scales all of be time.

MILWAUKEE BIIEWEKS' ClHCULAlt They Charge that They llare ltean Treated Uojaatly by their EmplourM?"Every Swallow of Milwaukee lleer l? a Support of Non-Union Labor." Milwaukh, Wis , Feb. 8.?The United States Brewers' Association hag taken n band in the trouble between the Miiwaukee brewer* and their men, It is learned that at a mooting ot the National Association, held in New York last week, a private circular to all members was drawn op. The circular says that the Milwaukee brewerd had entered into a contract cheerfully with their employes, conceding all demands in regard to wagee, working hours, employment of nnion men, Ac. They faithfully lived np to this contract, in spite of any petty annoyances to which they were exposed by the leaders of their men, until they were boycotted by their own workmen's national organization, because they refuse to allow the grinding spirits of the latter ?all of whom are rampant anarchists? to dictate to them where they, tho omploy era, should bny their material. Convinced that a great majority of their workmen were indignant at the despotic sway of their leaders, and bet too glad to throw off the degrading yoke which Anarchism had placed upon them, the smployors resolved not to retain in their nraploymont any members of Brewers' Union No. V. The result of this action is that U2 per cent of all the workmen have left the nnion end retained their places at the breweries. The Brewers' Union has also issued a manifesto, and to-uay copies were being mailed from this city. After going over the details of the strike, the circular says: "Hence it must be clear to all unbiased minds that just ps the judicial murder at Chicago was intended to terrorise the universal movement for tho emancipation of laborjinto timorous apathy, so here, too, an attempt is being made, in conformity with the reactionary spirit now everywhere rampant, to cru&h organized labor as euch; and furthermore, to cripple tho independent political power of the largest union in the Northwest, at a timo when, with the approach of tho spring elections, all eyes are again on Milwaukee. Mark well the fact: Every swallow of Milwaukee beer now means tho support of nonunion labor and the prosecution of fair labor." No 1'roaptct of a Settlement.

It has created a most decided sensation, and is being presented this week to crowded houses in Philadelphia. 8ome idea of the sensation it made in that city may be gatherod from tho fact that on last Monday evening tho star of tho company, E.
