Tne despatch Of July 2S from General Baird to Mr. stan

break Il up BY arrestng delegates have given or
could not or permit such action without in
structons from the President Please instruct at
by telegraph.
The President, II will be remembered with this as
his text wrote at length as to what no might have done
IL this despatch, which says was withheld from him
for eleven days, had been communicated at once and
bases his position the assertion that General Baird
asked Immediate Instructions and that the situation
such that prompt orders should have given
HIM. The facts, Mr. Howard finds them, that
Baird did not ask for auy immediate Instructions but
that tho words once' last line Of his despatch
have been interpoated. General Baird wrote the
next day that peace was SO much for the interest
outbreak. Mr.. Stanton explains that nobody
expected rot, and as General Baird had said
would prevent any interference with the delegates
no Immediate instructions appeared necessary and
that The riot did take place the next day, the time
for instructions had then passed. and there seemed no
necessity for sending the despatch in question the
President ali until he called Tor all the papers.
Dir. Howard states this part OF his summing up in
very strong terms and impiedly at least charges the
President with garblng General Bairds despatch 10
