MuLIIuIIOn of Gaenora- SnortGl1n's Des-
DatcncH,

WASHINGTON, August THE editorial in this
mornings Tribune in reference TO the despatch
OF General Sheridan, printed in the Times,
created quite a sensation in Washington. 1t is
universally admitted that certain liberties hal
been taken WITH Sneridans despatch, and that
the copy printed wa no5 that sent by the Com
mander OF the Department of the GUT. Many
OF the friends OF the Adminis ration, some of
them high in power, insist that the only way
to place the President right is to PRINT the
dispatches.
General Grant is in peculiarly embarrassing
position, as the despatch was addressed to hun,
and some OF his tllends say he Is striving to
have the original publ he'd. Up TO a late hour
no decision had been made. | have yet found
no Que to verify the authenticity of the Times
despatch and the general impression IS that 1T
was not correct, and that the charges OF the
Tribune have good deal of foundation.
The Display Of Rebel Flags.
WASHINGTON, August THE following special
despatch, dated 5 O'Clock, is received tonight at
l03 The fact OF Rebel flag having been dis
played on the day OF the riot, | am told, Is gene
rally admitted by citizens who were on the
streets in New Orleans on that fatal day,
New ORLEANS, August MY statement in
reference to the Confederate flags will be sworn
to by the party who witnessed II, before the Mill
taly Commission. Large sums of money have
been offered b. interested parties to con rOl the
reports from this city. lncontroverhbe evil
dence OF thus fact can be had il necessary. The
sworn testimony OF trustworthy gentlemen now
show that my reports, instead OF beng eXagge'
rated, tall far short OF the facts

terribly mutllaJed and not recognizable; that
Governor Hahn stated that, while being hauled
to the prison, he was treated brutally by the
driver and the crowd tnat followed. AT the
Station House sixty men were Gro Wded into a
cell that was only intended for nine. Or the
number brought in all were badly beaten or
stabbed. He estimates tLat there we're nearly

ton to meet.
John Il. Monroe was pardoned by the PresI
dent about the LIST Of May last. Had his pardon
been delayed a day or two, such representations
would have been made as possibly might have
prevented it, The effect upon the morals OF
| New Orleans was the worst. 1t gave the i'm
| preston that no man could be so bad as to oe
| out OF the pale OF Presidential mercy. Thug
| gerry resumed its sway, and Mayor Monroe sur
rounded himself at once with a police force
composed OF that governing class who had been
| sun marty dispersed when General Butler came.
Had Sheridan been in the CITY at the time OF the
riot Mayor Monroe would have been arrested
| and the bloodshed avoided. Tho exodus from
| the South of Union and Northern families in
anticipation OF similar scenes elsewhere Is affect
| ing business.-N Y. Tribune.
