Groesbeck, as delegates at large TO the Phadel

account. The propriety Of nominating State
ticket was lett with the Executive Committee.
A letter from the Hon. Thomas E wing was read,
in which he holds that the acts recently passed
over the Presidents veto as we'll as the Consti-
tutional amendment are null and void; that
not having the sanction OF the Executive they
are subject to judicial investigation, and must
be held invalid, because nearly One-third OF the
States were prevented from participating in
their enactment. Had they received Executive
approval, they must have been recognized by
the courts without inquiring into the regular
constitution of each OF the powers enacting
them. The session OF the Convention was not
altogether harmonious. II was composed
almost exclusively of Federal officers and
applicants for Presidential patronage,

OF the despatch from General Sheridan of

night last, and pronounces lit to be either
forged or garbled.n A reference 10 the despatch
OF General Sheridan himself, published in last
Fridays Times, aud to my statements as to The
character OF subsequent dispatches from Gen
tral Sheridan, will prove the utter ialsIty OF the
concerned, that there has been an attempt to
destroy the character of General Sheridan.
If General SherlOan's character is destroyed
by showing that he IS an accompice OF Mayor
Monroe, your correspondent has had no hand
in this destruction OF character, for every hing
| have sent you proves clearly that so lar from
General sheridan being an aCCOmphCe o. Monroe,
he regards the Mayor of New Orleans as very
bad man, and in eacn of hIs dispatches reCC m.
mends his removal from Office. With regard to
the autht ntIcitY OF the despatch from General
Sheridan, OF August the lst, published in the
Times on Friday, have but to say tnat 1t was
copied from the original sent by General Sherl-
dan to General Grant, and that it is the exact
language used by General Sheridan. All the
