that he had sent dispatch to Washington which
tended to exculpate Mayor Monroe and his Police
"thugs" and, by consequence, to shield Andrew john
son from popular execration. they were pepexed and
bcwildered. They could not believe that Sheridan
would send such dispatch; yet there was the dis

pended, and without a hint of any ensure or sup
preston. And when we-judging from internal EVIL
