When the character and purposes of the

The New York Herald's Washington dis
patch says that Col. Dent says that Gen.
Grant has written letter which Win be
handed, in due time, to the president of the
Chicago convention, declining the nomina-
ton for President. In the letter Gen.
Grant states that the only motive which
could induce him to accept the position
would be an anxiety for the complete resto-
ration of the Union, and as executive Of the
nation he could aid materially in promoting
that end. But as the object is now almost
accomplished and will soon be wholly com
pleted, he would rather retain the position
he now holds. He, however, hopes the wis.,
dom ofthe convention may unite on q can
didate who will do honor to the party and
good for the country.

A Washington correspondent saws :

Since his terrible scoring of Washburne,
of Illinois, on Saturday, the I'd inst, Illinois.
ans are calling upon Donneliy in large mum.
bers, and returning him her thanks. Only
the great unpopularity of Washburne, and
the foul means which he used to injure Don
nelly with his constituents, could have en-
abled the latter to pour out such stream OF
invective against the former in the house, on
Saturday. He dashed him by universal con.
sent. Some of the radicals. such as Julian
and others, who have heretofore been ma
hgned and DETAINED by Washburne, cried
out "Gloryi" More power to you, Don
nelly!'' and other encouraging expressions,
from their seats. The affair is the culmina-
ton of Washburne's assumed influence with
Grant. The latter will now be compelled to
give him the cut direct, or suffer the conse-
quences. Yates was among those who yes.
terday retur ned their hearty thanks to Don.
nelly for his flagellation OF the great Elihu.

/ A Washington telegram claims to have
authority for asserting that the Impeachers
depend on the admission of the Arkansas
congressional delegation as a means OF car
rying some OF the articles of Impeachment
not yet voted on. The idea is absurd. In
the first place, the radical senators would not
resort to such scandalous means of obtain
ing conviction as that of admitting to the
court senators who have not heard the testi-
rnony. In the next place, the same two.
thirds necessary to convict is necessary to
admit the additional senators over the inevi-
table veto.- Chicago P0st-radical paper.

The indecency of Old Ben. Wade, in vot.

The indecency of Old Ben. Wade, in vot-
ing to depose Andrew Johnson in order that
he might get his place is bringing out severe
comments from the more respectable repub-
hcans and republican newspapers. The act
of Wade is rendered still more outrageous
when we remember that he has been repudia-
ted by Ohio, and shamefully misrepresents
that state.

The Colorado Delegation.

ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL, New YORK, July 8, 1868.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In your issue of this day you do the delegation
from Colorado to the Democratic National COnven-
ton great injustice when saying that they all OPP
posed to Senator Yates bill for the admission Of
Colorado, and their reasons why they are opposed to
the same. am fully satisfied that none Of the
delegation so expressed themselves, and If they did
il was only as to their indivd ual feeling on the sub
ject, for the admission Of our Territory as
one OF the United States has never been a
political issue with either the democratic
radical party of Colorado. i have no hesitation In
asserting that believe that the bill before the
Senate Tor the admission Of Colorado, with the
cepton OF compelling us to adopt the fourteenth ar
ucle OF the amendment TO the constitution, will
prove acceptable to our people, virtually grants
us the right to reject or accept the privilege TO be-
come one OF the United States and allows to elect
our state officers, together with United states Sen
ators and Representative. Kindly asking you to
make the above correction am respectfully yours,
M. ANKER.
Delegate from Colorado.
