Secretary Sherman acknowledges that ne
and Messrs. Stanley Matthews, j. A. Gar
field, Engine Hall and Harry White did send
= letter of sympathy and coincidence to their
associate in the fraud by which Louisiana was
counted for Hayes. Mr.. Anderson. who IS now
jp Jail, and says that he regards the arrest.
trial and conviction of Anderson as great out
rage under color Of the forms Of law Il still
hope" he says, tho conviction will not be
carried into execution, but if it is. as matter
of course, the deepest feeling of resentment
and hostility will exist 10 the minds Of the great
mass Of our people, who believe that these he
turning Board officers did but their simple
duty. If Anderson is Imprisoned under this
sentence it will be mookery Of public justice
and will bring into contempt all efforts at peace
aud consultation. 1t il on unlocked for and
terrible commentary upon tho efforts OF the
President to quiet the turbulence aud violence
Of Louisiana politics, and seems to me an act
Of folly and madness" The President has. it is
also reported, writteo letter to Attorney Gen
eral Devens 90 tho subject of General Ander-
sons conviction, in which regret is expressed
that such proceedings should have taken place,
as, apart from all other considerations, they
tend to disturb the Cancellation which it was
hoped would be satisfactory to all parties in
Louisiana; that the prosecution was q violation
of the pledges made last spring. and that she
has pow determined to use all the Influence OF
which he is possessed to save Wells and Ander-
s)n from punishment" MI. Hayes is Presi.
dent, and will be until the expiration of
the term for which he was inaugurated
unless he shall be impeaohed aud de.
posed for offences to be committed hereafter
and du1ing that time can, if it pleases him 80
to do, retain Mr.. Sherman as Secretary Of the
Treasury; but, considering the meaus by which
he acquired bis position, and the limited sup
port he has among bis own party. it strikes us
that the less he has to do With the Louisiana
returning board aud any of its members the
better it will be for him. Nobody expects Mr..
Sherman or any of the visiting statesmen to
be pleased with the punishment Of their
"pals," for they know that the conviction OF
Anderson was. and that that of Wells viii! be,
lust, aud that, if justice were melted out to all
engaged 10 the fraud, they, as we'll as the Louis
ianians, would now be behind grated win.
dows. but, whether true or not, the public be-.
lieves it is altogether different With him. and
that the only thing he had to do with the
fraud was TO reap it's fruit and it would be as
conducive to his own as to the interests of the
country ut large to disturb that belief as little
as possible. Our Own idea about the trial Of
the members tf the Louisiana returning
hoard 10 that it should never have been com.
menced. but. now that it has been, any attempt
to interfere with it must not only fail, but re-
suit disastrously to those who make it. and if
the President be the ill.sdvised one he will
regret it to the day Of his death.

The Wertheim Concert,

This combination drew a very suall
audience at the Opera House Monday
evening, although the singing of Miss
Johanna Wertheim was very fine. and
the violin playing of her father. Prof.
s. Wertheim, was extraordinarily good.
The company, however, did not seem
to receive the appreciation they meri =
ted. The performance was stopped by
the city authorities near its close for
the non-payment of the license, the
management not understanding that a
license was required.
