UiTEKKBTING LETTER FROM JUDGR ABELL. New Obi-iianb, June 15. To the President of the United Htatej, MajorGcneral U. 8. Grant, and Major-Gcneral P. II. Sheridan: Nothing could aticnlsh one more than to flud tbe extra ordinary statements coutatned in a teleRram from General Sheridan to General Grant, dated i u t- 80 far BS lt relate to me, nothing could be more at varlanco with tho record and facts of the case. U deems to rue that they are not only made In error, but are moot incredible. Y7. . iee Aoe" repeats here the letter already published of General Sheridan to General Grant, Jn KlvlnR his reasons lor removing from office Monroe, Herron, and Abell, and thus con cludes): Respect lor the officers ol my Govern ment forbid my characterizing this telegram in tbe language that it certainly appears to de serve, or such as General Sheridan sees fit to use towards officers of rank and merit. I shall content myself with a caudid and earnest refu tation of the numerous groundleis assertions made in it. In the third paragraph of the telegram Gen eral Sheridan say: "The court over which Judge Abell presided is the only criminal court in the city of New Orleans. For a period of at least nine months previous to the 30th of July he had been educating a Inrge portion of the community to the perpetration of this outrage, by almost promising them no prosecution in his court against the offenders in case such an event occurred." This statement Is extraordinary, without foundation, and utterly impossible. I never thought of such a thing. It is utterly 1m po sible that 1 could have kuown, nine months previous to the 30th. of Jmy, that such a meet ing would take place. The conventionists and their friends held nearly every office in the Siate, and appeared well pleased with the con stitution. Its author, General Banks, pro nounced It "the best-ever made." President Lincoln said that "it was a most excellent con stitution." The conventionists continued to hold nearly alt the offices under It until they were displaced by the newly elected Democrats, which occurred only bout three months belore the riot. How couldjl know nine months before that these men would assemble to alter so good n constitution, unlessthe General ranks me with Chalcaa tbe wise. th Grecian priwt and guide, That sacred seer whose comprehensive view, The past, the preseut, and ibe future kaew T . If the General be satisfied with his assertions I shall not compiuln. He proceeds: "The records of the Court will sho tbtt he fulfilled his promise, as not one of the guilty ones has been prosecuted." This assertion is plainly con trad Cled bv the record relprrpil tr. It. ahniuL I that the Grand Jury of the parish Indicted about iwrmy-uve oi tnose wncm they believed to be the guilty patties, and in doing so they con curred with General Sheridan, who telegraphed to the President that tho meeting of the Convention was the immediate cause of the riot; and the law only punishes those who are the im mediate cause of breaches of the law. General Bherldan proceeJs: "In reference to Andrew S. Herron, I considered it his duty to indict these men before the criminal court. This he tailed to do, but went so far as to attempt to impose on the eooJ sen be of the whole nation by indicting the victims of ihe riot instead of tne rioters in other words, making tbe inno cent guilty and the guilty innoocnt. He was, therefore, an abettor and coadjutor with Judge Abel in bringing on tbe massacre of the 30th of July." Fortunately for tho country, what amounts to unlawful as.-emblie?, riots, etc., are questions of law, and not mere opinions of our f:enerals. I did everything in my power by egal means to prevent that meeting, and I have always believed that, had tbe military com manders of this department done half as much as I did 1o prevent the meeting, there would have been no assembly, no riot, and conse quently no bloodshed; and I so stated In a letter to General Sheridan, which I had the honor of addressing him ou the 29th of August last. The Conventionists claimed, up to the very day of their assembling, that they had promise of mili tary assistance; and if their assertion has been denied I have never seen it. Finally, the General says: "Mayor Monroe controlled tbe element engaged in this riot, and when backed by an Attoruey-General who would not prosecute the guilty, and a Judge who advised the Grand Jury to find the innocent ps. guilty and let tbe murderers go free, felt secure in engaging his ponce lorce in me not ana mas sacre. With these three men exercising a large influence on the worst elements in this city, giving to the elements an immunity for riot and bloodshed, the General in Chief will see how insecure I felt In letting them occupy thair portions in the troubles which might occur in registration and voting in the reorganization." So far as I am concerned, the statement here made bas - no foundation - in tact. It is too unreasonable to pain credence amoi.g an intelligent people. My charges to the Grand Jury are on tile in the First District Court, and will show exactly the contrary. I am prepared to prove, by the wholo panel of the Graud J ury, most of whom are men ot equal in telligence and worth with General Sheridan or mvstlt, tbatl never gave them such advice as here stated. I neyer epoke to them upon that or any other subiect before them except through my charges, which are on file and cannot be earbled. As to Controlling the elements of which General Sheridan sneaks, with the excep tion ot the occurrence of the 30th ofJuly.no ntt In the United States had order better pre- I served. That that occurreuce was forced on the S people by irresponsible men admits ot no doubt. i t v.orn onrinavnrpri to show to the Chief Exe cutive officer of the United States, to Generals Grant and Sheridan, that the telegram of the 6th Inst, from General bherldan to General Grant is unsust.alned by facta, and unjust in its application. 1 respectfully ask that it be over ruled as Insufficient, and tbat myself and thu officers of the State of Louisiana and Corpora tion of New Orleans be restored to thefunrtloui of their offices until superseded by nicer elected under a new Constttutioa, as I'jterded v- a nlenrlv a o Dears by 11. ii sixth section of the act ot March last which dec Ures "tbat until the people of the said Hebe .

As an Dfluential Senator t-ajs, "Congress in session is equal to a dozen major-general. Had Coaeress been sitting Judge Kelley would never hvo been assaulted In Mobile." At present the President, overawed by tho fear of a July ses sion, ventures on no open demonstration aeaiost the Military Reconstruction act. What his underhand efforts are we can easily judge from tbe tone of bin friends and their strusKles to thwart it. It will be recollected that Congress ordered a session in July, and one will take place unless to many absent themselves as to leave no quorum. Now, let no quorum appear let Mr. Johnson see such indltlercnco on the part of Contrress and such trust In himself as will lead its members to stay at home, and we shall soon have such executive interference at the South as will substantially defeat tbe whole policy of tbe Military act. No intelligent man can doubt as to the disposition of tbe President. Tbe instances ot his Interference hitherto, the opinions ol the Attorney-General, furnished to order, and intended as the basis of future ope rations, all plainly demonstrate where Mr.Johu son's heart Is. Doubtless even these indications of his real wish would have been withheld, and the forth kept wholly in the dark, bad this been possible; but it was necessary to give his friendf. North and South, some clue to his plan; otherwise they might so fully cooperate with military reconstruction, and be so far com mitted to It, as to make retreat difficult, if not impossible. We are far from regarding the Military act as perfect, or a finality. Except as a gain and pledee of future still more stringent action, we deplored its passaae. If our object were only to prolong the confusion and embarrass the Iiepublicuu party, we should rejoice in tbe post ponement ot a session, sure that, in tbat long nve months' monopoly of power, the President would play such tricks before high heaven and the people, as would bring their representatives together in December in such mood of positive and angry radicalism as the nation has not yet eeeu. Let Mr. Johnson remove General Sheridan, and be doubles tbe chances of confiscation, forty acres for each laborer, and a constitutional amendment securing sullrage and universal education. Jefferson Davis wroie Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation. Southern armies forced the anti-slavery amendment on the Gov ernment. Congress may meet in July and complete its own measure, "hiving up wisdom" as event after event shows Its defects; or mem bers may desert their places, be recreant to duty, and tempt Executive violence aud usur pation until an ludignant people force them back to tbeir places with oiders to sweep the South, like a threshing floor, clean of everything which lilts its head aDove the one deai levpl or unquestioning submission to the sword of the conqueror. The friend of the South, who longs that she may have rest; the ousiness man, waiting anxi ously for quiet waters, that he may spread his sails; the patriot, who dreads any prolongation of this critical state of national aff airs are all pleaders with Congress that it assemble and watch its own work. Let not lookers-on sneer ing ly "guess' tbat wc should have an extra session if members were paid bythediiy; bat, paid a Falary by the jesr, tboy mind their own private affairs, and let tho nation stagger on under its burden ol a traitor head. The people will note carefully who report themselves at the Capitol oa July 4,and they will hold the absent to strict account. Let no ruenioer hope for mercy who balks us. There is no serving by sulnti tute in this war.'are. Congress can delegate Its power to no deputy. Tbe great council ot'lbe nation at all times, and now Its great police power, it cannot surrender the Government into any hand. Charge the delay, the peril, aud the blood of tbe next four years to the loiterers at home, If their absence defeats the session in July. The Presidential election arrows nearer and nearer. The two ereat parties in thegame are Andrew Johnson and the Kepublicaus.

Johnson wins not lor himself, out for some less known traitor. As the inteival shortens the President grows more urgent. His success lies In defeating Congress at the South. The summer ot 18G5 will be repeated if he has Washington to himself from J tily to December. How near that mistake of 18G5 brought us to grave disaster we all know. Every Congressman knows this, and will be held responsible for conduct betittiug such knowledge. There is a uegligence so gross that tbe law deems It equivalent to dishonesty. Any member of Conirreos who, with the experience ot 1807 behind him, exposes ns to another such summer will be guilty of that "gross negli gence" which the Roman lawyers define as "the not kr owing what all men. know." We hold every loiterer at home who prevents a July session guilty of tbat fraud, which the law at tributes ti such negligence. , Wendell PaiLLirs. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

T1IE ATTEMPT ON THE CZAR. THE CUT OF LONDON IN MUNICIPAL CONGRATULA TION TO THE EMPERORS. London, June 20. At a meeting held at the Mansion IIouro this morning, the municipal authorities of London voted to pre sent an address of congratulation to the Czar Alexander, of Russia, giving expression to their joy at his providential escape from assas sination in Paris.

Tbe Indoor and out door harangues wbicu have been lately de livered in this city by a man named Murphy, who styles himself an "Anti-ltomanlst Leo turer," and who In all bis discourses Inveighs vehemently against Popery and tbe ceremonies, rites und sacraments particularly the eonfea fessiotial of tbe Catholic Ctuiroli, ioduued very great disturbances here during tne past few ilnys. Very intense excitement prevails among the people, and at one time lust Tuesday the aspect of iitlairs was exceedingly serious. At least one hundred thousand people were turned out In the streets, and an enraied moi bad poasesHlun of the city for some lime. Tl ey sacked several bouses. The rioters matched through the streets sing ing "Olory, glory, hallelujah," "John Brown's chorns," and other airs of this class. Tbe authorities were active in the defense of order. , The Riot net was read by the magistrates. Troops were hurried to the city from Man chester, and placed in position in tbe streets. The military did not fire, however. The city police were out in full force, tbe men using their cu I lasses. Heveral of the rioters were wounded, but none, as yet reported, killed. T he excitement is now somewhat lulled, and it is expected the active disturbances areended. Murphy, who Is uuder the protection of the "PiotestantElectoral Union," has persisted in bis coarse, and every night delivers oUVnslve language at much length against tlieKjimu Catholic Church, ridiculing its rites, etc. A I tempi have been made to renew the dis turbance out of doors, but they have beeu put down. The city is comparatively quiet at present. THE THRONE OF ENGLAND. THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF QUEEN VICTORIA'S ACCESSION LOYAL REJOICINGS AND A GENERAL OBSERVANCE. London, June 20.

Kellogg, Cellector of Customs for the port of New Orleans, in reference to certain illegal practices specula tion in stocks and the appointment of Rebels 1o office who would not take the oath have been stigmatized, in sworn affidavits by the leading citizens of New Orleans, as false and malicious in every particular. Governor Flanders, of Louisiana, Op posed to Confiscation. Governor Flanders, in his speech to the Republican Convention at session iu New Or leanp, pronounced his unqualified condemna tion of all the schemes of confiscation which the Convention had recognized. Confiscation was but legalized robbery, and, besides its cruelty and oppression, was a mere incentive and temptation to robbery aud corruption on the part of the victors. He hoped the radical Republicans would no longer stain their hands or discredit their cause by any schemes of this nature. The Governor further declared his unquali fied opposition to and dissent from the resolu tion requiring the offices to be equally divided between tho two colors. This resolution was in direct opposition to one of the cardinal doc trines of the party, which repudiated all dis tinctions founded on race or oolor, and made the tests of merit and capacity to de pend on moral and intellectual qualifications. An arithmetical division of offices any agree ment to adjust the bestowal of office with re gard to oolor or race was opposed to thia doo trine. The most fit, capable, and honest should be selected for the offices, of whatever color or race. Registration in Louisiana. Nxw Orleans, June 20.

The affidavits set form the facts as stated in Mr. Merrick's remarks yesterday, that tbey expected to prove that the two first named witnesses were mistaken as to the time ot tbe arrival ot tbe two men te?tilied to by them, as having arrived at Kurllngtou aud got upon tbe train at tue Kssex Junction. I be counsel for the defense also filed an afU davit In support of their motion. '1 be atlidavits were not read In the bearing of tbe Jury, Dut passed from counsel directly to tbe court. After examining the aitldavlts. Judge Klsher s.tld be bad carefully noted I heir contents, and bad also consideied tue arguments Bubmlited by counsel yes terday. Ills views were that the custom tbat bud fclways prevHlled was correct, tbat a witness should consider Imuseif discharged alter examination, unless told to remain. As to tue claim tbat Sergeant Dve was under bonds lor passing counterfeit money, if Ic was recessary to prove thai fact, ibe best evidence would be record evidence, and be did not think Dye's presence was necessary. lie tbougbt tt best to pur sue ibe common practice. Mr. Merrick wanted to know If the witness could be 0 osb-rxauilned ir brought Here by tut delense. Judite Fisher said he could be examlued as a wit ness lor tbe defense. Mr. Merrick said, he understood counsel on the other side to agree, that If the witnesses were here tbey could be cross-examined, JudKe Fisher said that was a subject for argument between counsel. Mr. Merrick aeked if be understood the Court ariiitit, tbat the bail bond of Dye could be olTered in evidence ? Judge Fisher said that was a question for further consideration. Ue only said tbut was the way to prove tbe liict. Mr. Carrlngion said he desired to recall Ed ward I Siuool, a witness examiix d yesterday, who wished to make a correction 01 a misstatement Mr. r-mo't was recalled, and said when he testified yesterday, be stated be did not know tbe mime of the man who examined him before coming Into court, but be bad since understood tbat It was Judite Holt. Other wltnessea wbo went to Judge Holt's ollloe told witness who It was. - Mr, Merrick was proceeding to ask certain ques tions of tbe witness, as to who ha I examined him, when Mr. Plerrepont objected . Judge Fisher Bald be supposed there would have beeu an end of as'tlUK witnesses questions as to wbo had examined them. In bis opinion, if a Government olllcer, prosecuting an important case, does not ex amine his witnesses, and ascertain what they know, Buch olllcer would be derelict ol duty. Mr. Merrick concurred la the view that It was the duly of tbe prosecution to exumlue witnesses, but be Insisted tbat if Judge holt, or auy olllcer In the Bureau of Military Justice, bad examined witnesses, It was a liici that the Jury should know. alter some further discussion between Messrs, Bradley, Plerrep nt, and others, the witness described the man wbo examined blm as an elderly person. The examination took place in the office of tbe Judge Advocate-General. Mr. Carrlngion said be felt It a duty to Judge Holt to say tbat tbe Judge Advocate-General wus not en gaged In the r r secution of the case. ICoiUmxied in our next eUUlotu From the Plains.
