Sheridan's dispatches were condemned most en-
phaticay in the public meetings last night especl-
ally at the meeting of Northern and Western men,
held in the ST. Charles Hotel, where his course was
reprobated and himself denounced. Gen. Cyrus
Bussey, who served throughout the war IN the

formal pledges to abide by the Committees decision.
Their action has called forth cOmmendation from all
parties The Radicals ofthe Kellogg Legislature have

the four parishes for acting winch the Conserva-
tves were driven out by the United States soldiers
Tho difference is that they have seated the Radicals
whom every one knows 10 have been defeated, de-
feated so overwhelmingly that even the Returning
Board would not venture TO declare them elected,
There was no military Intervention in this case,
however. The offense against the Government
seems TO have consisted in seating Conservative
members who were elected. Messrs. Phelps and
Foster leave tonight.
