that the real dispatch be published.
If the reader will carefully study the aboYc e.
tracts he must accept this conclusion. The cor.
spondents Of The Uorld Times and Herald are fayossG
at the White House, and they possibly speak by the
card The Void states that Sheridan wrote three DIS

by member OF the Presidents staff. II representea
Sheridan as virtually sympathizng with the rioters
The other was sent to Mr. Stanton and IFS substances
printed in The TRIBUNE Its authenticity is admitted
above by The Times, The World and The Herald.
"The police" General Sheridan says. "made a most
cruel aud unnecessary slaughter Of the black
mayor Monroe is a bad man, and ought not 10 L.

Mayor unnecessarily harsh, cruel aud severe.

Yet because 1t is printed told that the suihp-

Having shown the substantial truthfulness Of
dispatch printed in The TRIBUNE on Saturday
now return TO the dispatch in The 1fneS oil Friday
We oil know that Gen. Sheridan would not write cne
thing to Mr.. johnson and another TO Mr.. Stanton;
he would not tell the President that the Radicals be-
gan the riot and the Secretary Of War that the Rebels
were the aggressors. We believe Sheridan to be a
soldier and gentleman and we therefore resent This
garblmg Of his dispatch. We have the evidence Of
Tile Times HeaH and Uor,d in support of The TRIs-
UYEs dspatchi but Who ndorses that Of The Tmts-
a. il stands now t looks like forgery. We make
such charge; bat at the same time we insist upon {
production OF the original dispatch. The Times clair
to have its inspiration from high sources. IT boasts
is exclusive privileges at The White House. Let
say to the President then, that the American peol
do not wish to see the reputation Of a soldier as dea.
to them a. Phil. Sheridan msrepresonted TO scrceu
from popular wrath his appalling policy, and thai
they demand tlat tho General be permitted

The correspondence between Gen. Bdiri' a.
Mayor Monroe tends 10 set at rest the question ofi
mediate responsibility for the riot in Now-0rlear
The letters are dated 70 the 26tb four days before Tx
riot. Monroe declared his intention to dsper>e ths
Convention unless restrained by the military. Ger
Baird replied that if The Convention was legal It rs
the right to remodel the State Government, and i
not, "its labors should be looked upon a. 2
harmless pleasantly to which none shoa.d
object" Tho question OF legality would
in due time be settled by the judicial branch Of TIE
United States Government All this is clear to right
thinking men, who see dozen ways by which
violence might have been avoided. But vitaoni
cover OF proof or decision that the Ccnyentonisn
were actually violating law, the Mayor ofNew.oc-
leans set himself against the Governor Of the ststs
aud the supreme arbitration OF the land, end, armed
with a Telegram from Washington, DID the work Of
murder accordingly.
