Yours OF the 10th reached me few days since
~ to the political matters here, 1t wonld require
more writing than am capable Of to give you
correct idea Of affairs. To make long story
short, Sheridan In right he doss NOT mean that

for summary punishment but that the lsadera
are promoters of discord and strife, and the Or

once 40 styled could be tried by military COM
mission; Tue hue and cry raised is . partisan
ono, and is intended to serve party ends.
As TO the Legislature here, can scarcely do
the subject Justice. The Democrats we're 10
the minority, and by revolutionary measures
attempted TO seize the organization. To do
this they seated. without tho shadow Of law,
right, or anything usually No considered,
enough OF those who claimed seats to give
them majority. 1t was then that the msjor-
its OF the regular members went to the Gov
erf'or and asked his aid in expelling from the
floor those who had no right TO participate in
tio organization. This was done by tie only
force in the State which can keep the peace =
the army. The Democrats at once left the
House, and have not yet returned to claim
their seats. The other side has not yet at.
tempted to pass any laws, nor do think they
can. think the whole thing is rather much
mixed. The secret IL that Yarmouth, the
former Governor. is trying to get control OF
political Affairs In the interest OF the opponents
of Grant, and Grants friends arc trying to de-
