Gen. Sherman RepudiateS the
New Orleans Speech.
To the Editor of the Tribune.

IL IIlC ~ - III
SIR: On Saturday evening, April %,
1871, the Union League Club of New
Orleans, which Gov III. C. Warmoth is
President, and miselfS Secretary and Treas
urer, gave Gen. w. Il. Sherman a recep-
ton coupled with a complimentary din
ner. About 100 persons were present,
some of whom were colored men. l was
not present at the reception given to the
General by the American Union Club, so
that 1 am not able to speak of what be
may have said on that occasion; but /
made a careful report of what be did say
on the occasion of the reception given by
tho club to which l belong, and have my
original notes now with me. Gen. Sher-
man said
Mr.. President, / am not much of a
speaker my forte is action, not speach-
making. | do not wish my remarks this
evening to be reported in the newspapers,
for / see that what | said on the occasion
of another reception extended to me since
my arrival has been entirely misrepresent-
ed. and / am credited with words that |
did not utter at all. l therefore hope
there are no reporters here to serve this
pleasant interview as they served the other
to. which | have alluded.
My duty as the Commander of the Ar
my of the country keeps me employed in
military matters, and by that employment
L may be enabled to assist the nation in
its civil and political interests, but L do
not wish to be considered a politician. l
strive as well as | can to do what my off
cial duty compels, and in doing that find
myself amply employed. | do not seek
any civil position whatever, and do not
wish to be suspected of doing so. Indeed,
I should positively decline any offer of a
civil or political position. | mean to de-
vote my whole time in the future to the
study of the military art, not with the
view of destroying. but as a means of pro-
noting the good of all, even the lowest
classes of our citizens.
Since the Democratic papers all over
the country have said 50 much about these
New Orleans receptions to Gen. Sherman,
and given place in their columns TO words
which $50 far as the short speech at the
Union League Club is concerned) he new
err uttered. | have thought it my 1uty to
give you the unvarnishcd truth touching
the affair. Respectfully, THos. W. Con-
WAY, Fifth-ave. Hotel, May A., 1871.
The Democratic papers. which in their
overlooking exstacies hoisted the name of
Gen. Sherman forthe Presidency will have
to exercise some sharp tactics to retreat
from their position, without having their
rear we'll pelted with the r%ecaptured a%rtill-
cry of the Republican army. As to
their foundation, we know they were in
sincere and they can belle them with all
the ease imaginable
Will they now sing the song of ''Sher-
mans march to the sea-"

THE coNlECTICUT ELECTION.

The Legislative Committee appointed
to investigate the frauds of this election
report the whole Republican Ticket as
honestly and legally elected. The cor
rectness of this decision is demonstrated
by plain facts and veracious figures. The
Legislature sustains the report. Thus,
the "Land of steady habits through the
Governorship of Marshall Jewell will have
the benefits of an honest and just Republi-
can administration for another year. The
Democracy, thus thwarted in their infa-
nous villainies, can alone in their impo-
tent and hopeless wrath, cry out ''uncon-
stitutional."

TENNEsSEE INDUSTRIAL EN-
lr a POSITION.

/. From the glowing and elaborate de-
scriptions we find in our Nashville ex-
changes, of the Tennessee Industrial Ex-
position it is the grandest and most brill
liant success that ever rewarded the COM
bined efforts of our people. Specimens of
all ores, minerals, and marble to be found
in our soil every fabric to be manufactur-
ed by our people, flowers of the richest
hue and sweetest fragrance, every inven-
ton that can possibly contribute to the
convenience and comfort of the housewife.
improvements in rail road machinery, in
fact anything and everything that scien-
tiie cultivation and the perfection of in
~vention genius can produce are collected
in this vast emporium ofindustry'sreward
Here are the glorious triumphs of peace,
fairer than Kingly crowns and nobler
than the blood-stained banners of war
Here spread in a bewitching harmony
of contrast and variety are the trophies of
the pillow, the loom and the workshop beau-
tilted by the fairy production of feminine
imagery and the redolent poetry of fora's
richest tributes. This scene of sublime
and gorgeous disorder '~'recalls the fabu-
lous wonders of enchanted castles and sur
passes the gemmed beauties of the glori-
Gus old Orient.
The magnificent Exposition building
erected through the public spirit of gen
erous and princely Tennesseeans,
will ever be the landmark of an era in
the history of our State to teach the
utter folly of continual bitter political
conflicts, and the wise and profitable poll
cy of developing ourenultifarious resour-

THE UNITED STATES AND ENG

It is quite probable, that the long
standing difficulties between our country
and England will soon reach a positive
and permanent adjustment. satisfactory to
both parties. The questions, upon which
the two governments have been at vari-
ance, embrace the famous Alabama claims,
the Northwestern fisheries, the Northwes-
tern boundary and the navigation af the
St. Lawrence river. To adjust these deli
cate and perplexing matters of interna-
national interest and Importance, Queen
Victoria and President Grant appointed a
Joint High Commission. which convened
at Washington and has now completed its
labors. The treaty has been signed, seal
ed and delivered to the official represen-
tatives of each government. The Com
mission seemed animated throughout by
a desire TO remove every %antagonism to a
friendly relation and perfect harmony be-
tween the nations, and to bring into prac-
teal operation the manifestlv true inter
national policy of peace, by an honorable,
conciliatory and comprehensive treaty.
The stipulations embrace concessions to
the United States. both in matters of
claims and international law. which
should ~abundantly satisfy our own people,
whilst England should feel that she has
honored and not Inundated herself, in
agreeing to a tardy indemnifcation for an
unprovoked and an Illegally manifested
hostility to us during the rebellion.
This .'treaty of Washington as it will
be known in history, will have marked
effect upon the political phase of the world,
~inaugurating a new era in the grander
and nobler character of international OBJ
legation and duties. than the world ever
witnessed before. A war between the
two countries would have been long and
exhausting to both. fatal to both and the
general cause of human advancement. In
all probability alliances would have been
formed, owing to the disturbed and fever
ish feeling everywhere prevailing, that
would have involved the civilized world.
and all that has been done and is now do
ing to promote its progress ana quietude
would have persisted in the universal con-
lagration of war.
May this victory of peace be fruitful of
such blessings. as will teach the belliger-
ent powers of the earth that nothing is so
desirable, profitable and instructive as
peace. -.

TEXAS has earned the respect of her

organized, and on the first of January

for trial. The work has also been vigorous

is quite free from the Ku-klux, and there

AMURDERoUs ASSAULT BY .INFURIATEr

AMURDERoUs ASSAULT BY .INFURIATED
MINERS.
SCRANTON, May 16-The bodies of
three murdered laborers were found this
morning in a swamp near Bugg's Shaft.
During the riot yesterday, when the labo-
rers were routed, they. fed into this swamp,
followed by the Infatuated miners, where
those three men were beaten and kicked
to death. The Irish miners and laborers
held a meeting last night and passed reso-
~lutions denouncing the cowardly assault as
premcditated assassination. The lrishmen
are condemning the Mayor for not sending
assistance. and ~renouncing fraternity with
Welshmen in future, and avowing a deter
mination to 90 to work as soon as the
company are ready to resume, and band
themselves together and prepare to meet
any assault, and calling on all good citizens
to help them. 1t was heart rending to
hear the recital of several members who
only escaped with their lives. which recital
was corroborated by forty men. Martin
Mcdonald was taken home in a wagon in
a diving condition. He says: Il made my
way to a clunp Of trees. / was followed
and oyertaken by seven men, who called
out you Irish son of a bitch Seven men
struck me with billies and left me insensi-
Bile. One brute afterward came back and
raised me up and asked me could l walk.
As soon as he saw | was so strong he kick
ed me in the mouth and ear. / knew not
what became of me until | found myself
at home surrounded by my friends
