NEW YORK Oct. 15.-The Radical Re-
publicans ofthis city at the convention last
night, nominated Joshua G.. Abee and Mai
81 Haggerty for the offices of Sheriff and
County Clerk respectively. The balance
of the county ticket was not nominated.
The convention broke up atmidnight amid
the greatest confusion.
The Washington Republicans says the
President pronounces the statements rela-
tive to Gen. Sherman, contained in the
Boston Advertisers Washington dis
patches, TO be false in whole and in all its
parts. Gen. Sherman's mission was wholly
upon our Indian affairs.
The President has, upon recommenda
tion of Gov. Pierpont and Attorney Gen.
Stanberry, pardoned Samuel Barron, of
Virginia, ex.Commodore ofthe Confederate
navy.
The Herald's Washington special says
an individual in Washington who is sup
posed to be posted in the Treasury matters,
AYERS that it is his belief that the spurious
counterfeit Z ,30s were manufactured inside
the Treasury building, by means of dupli-
cate impressions in lead, of the original
plates.
Secretary McCulloch denies the truth of
the report that the New York Metropoli-
tan Board is to be abolished.
The Times special says leading Radi-
cal member of Congress from Massachu-
sets, strong advocate of impeachment,
to-day declared himself in favor of Gen.
Grant for the Presidency. He said he
was ready to put the most entire faith in
him. The question of Vice President, too,
is not neglected, and the name of John
Andrew, of Massachusetts, is very FREE
quently mentioned as a most fit man for
the second place.
The Treasury Department is still busily
engaged in examining bonds in hand, for
the purpose of discovering whether there
are any more counterfeits. The Depart
ment to-day learned that several banks
throughout the country have been victim
lied by the hypothecation of these coun-
terfeit bonds by unknown parties.
