Tho Rumors About General Grant Having
Written n Letter Declining the Nomination
His Brother-in-Law Denies Being the Au-
th0r-Anxiety to Know the Facts.
WASHINGTON, May 10, 1868.
Mr.. @. w. Dent, brother-in-law Of General Grant,
authorizes the statement that the report referring to
him as the author Of the assertion that General Grant
has written letter declining the nomination, is
mistake. He states that he has made no alluson to
the Intentions Of the General since he has been in this
city. The statement In reference to Grants letter de-
Ginning the nomination has repeatedly denied by
officers Of hiss tar and members Of Congress who claim
to have the information direct from General Grant
himself but several Of these who likely to be the
best informed have admitted that Grant has written
letter in regard to the expected nomination. This
disagreement between those who claim to have gu.
perior facilities for knowing General Grants views
and the evident anxiety on the part of the latter and
his councillors, have tendency to increase the
public excitement in the matter, and General Grant
ia as much imp0rtuned by restless politicians for
come definite knowledge as to what he has done as
any Of the doubtful Senators before the vote of last
Saturday. The anxiety Of the Generals friends is
directed more to denying the statement that he de-
clines the nomination than to the fact that he has
written letter the character of which can only be
made known to the Convention when regularly as
sembied.

The various delegations formed in line Of halfpast
ten O'Clock on Randolph street, near the Court
House, and marched to the place OF meeting, pre-
coded by the Light Guard band. Immediately behind
the band was carried the famous war eagle, "Old
Abe" which belonged TO the Wisconsin delegation,
and was brought by them to the convention.
As soon a. the delegates were seated cheers were
proposed for General Logan, of Illinois, Governor
Fenton, of New York, and General Grant, which
were given with will were three groans for "Old
Grimes. and others who voted against impeachment.
The song beginning ''Od Grimes'' was started, most

damaging use OF their baOns. 1t appears that about
the time above mentioned Officer Harrington In
passing along Wooster street, noticed something or
another which he thought justified him in
making the arrest OF colored woman Of
bad repute but the object Of his ofical sorcitude
did not exactly apprec ate his good intentions, and
made stout resistance After considerable Of
struggle he succeeded In bringing her apparently to
subsection, and was on the point OF conducting her
TO the station house, when, as by common concert,
coored, set upon him and attempted to rescue the
prisoner, who thus reinforced, did all she could to
free herself from the grasp OF the officer. Harring

the alarm rap with his baton, which had fortunately

The Justification OF accounts Is so extensive tna,n

When General Thomas denomiated the arraign-
ment OF President Johnson by the House OF Repre-
sentatives for high crimes and misdemeanors, that
little unpleasantness,- he did not over estimate It's
exciting and dlsagreeable consequences. Whatever
may have been the erect upon the country OF Its
progress aud Details the jewellers at the capital VIII
certify that the ad tnte,ns expressive alluson 10
not excessive In s colorIng or explictness. In or
der fully TO appreciate the effect Of what has trans
pired here, the scenes OF excitement and anxiety
and the exhibition Of those feeling inspired by en-
mIty. passion and dstrust, should have been wit
messed prior and subsequent to the grand denou-
nleat on Saturday.
The lack Of confidence shown by the impeachers
on Tuesday, when they postponed the final issue
until saturday, was apparent during the whole OF
the interval, and they approached the crisis more
like criminals expecting their own condemnation
than men conscious OF their rectitude la demanding
the conviction OF another.
Some denounced the FIRST adjournment as unw.se
averrIng that then only six republican Senators would
have voted for acquttal and that the chances OF con-
viction we're sacrificed by delay. But notwthstand-
ing these adverse consequences q powerful In
ducnce favored second postponement. This
was opposed by Bingham, Boutwell,, Colfax and
others, but Butler, who distinguished himself
during the trial by haranguc against dIlafory pro-
ceedIngs was tiinorous, and resisted the EFFORT to
bring the matter TO test The result Of the strife
was compromise and q vote upon single article.
To accomplish this an extraordinary pressure was
found needful and the presentation of peculiar ana
extraordinary motives. II was held that powerlui
influences should be brought TO bear upon the re
