The indianapolis Herald of the Goth
contains an account of an interview with
James E. Anderson, then stopping in that
city, in which he exonerates Sec'y Sherman
from all completely in the matter relating to
the celebrated so-called Sherman letter. He
says the authorship of the letter lay between
Senator Kellogg and Conquest Clark who was
his private secretary at the time; that Mrs.
jerks never saw it, and that the original let
ter is now in the possession of gentleman in
Philadelphia, and can be produced at any time.
He said kellogg could exonerate Sherman at
any time, and would do so as soon as
the Louisiana appointments made in the
formers interest were confirmed. A
DesMoines Uowa) telegram of the
18th says Senator Kellogg, then in that place,
had stated that there was absolutely nothing
in this pretended statement of Anderson. He
(Kellogg) knew nothing of the alleged Sher-
man letter, never saw it and did not believe
his secretary ever saw it. The best evidence
that Philadelphia gentleman had it would
be the production of it. He (Kellogg) had
no interest in any Louisiana appointments;
on the contrary, they were all made and con-
firmed except few minor Postoffices, in
which he had no interest. Mr.. Kellogg ex-
pressed himself as being willing that every
dispatch he had written or sent regarding the
Louisiana election affairs should be published
to the world.
