We are satisfied that the sound Judgment Of
the people of the United States, OF all parties,

THE REMOVAL OF COUNT MEJAM.
CARD FROM HON. REvERDY JOHNSON

The New York World denies that Count Me-
jan has been removed as Consul of New Orleans,
by NJ. MERCER, the French Minister.
The New York World Is mistaken. When
We announced the fact of the removal of MeJan,
exclusively in the REPUBLICAN, we stated what
we knew to be the fact.
In connection with the above matter, in jus
tice to Hon. Reverdy johnson, we publish his
card which appeared in the Baltimore ATncricdn
Of this morning, on the same subject. We do
not think that the language of our article i'm
plies all that Mr.. johnson assumes, as We dis
timely stated that the "money was paid over
aHcr the investigation of Mr.. johnson, which
certainly docs not imply that it WIS paid over
6y that investigation, or In consequence of ii.
Notwithstanding, in order to place Mr. John
son right on the record, We insert herewith his
statement!
WAsHISGTON, Jan. :. 1863.
Editors Baltimore American;
GENTLEMEN: Your paper of this morning
copies a short editorial Of the Washington Re
publican relative 10 the recent removal of Count
| -HjdH, late French Consul at New Orleans, by
the French Minister, NJ. MCrcier, in which my
name Is SO used as to imply that It cds The ;RVsS-
LEGATION made 6y me IN that city last summer that
enabled tic Consul 10 commit, or protected him
in, the alleged abuse of his office. The card of
mine which you some time since inserted from
the National InteligcHcer shocld have satisfied
you, and all others that with the particular
/ transaction which has led TO the dismissal of
Count Mejan, my investigation had no connec-
ton whatever. And If further evidence of the
fact could he needed by the intelligent reader 1t
was given in q letter from Mr.. DenIgan, the
President of the Citizens Bank of New Orleans,
to me, dated last month, and published lately
! in the National htehligencer.
Not only was the transaction OF the New Or
leans Bank, which has implicated the Consul,
not before me, nor Investigated, nor decided by
me, but 1t could not have been; first, because
was not authorized to examine 1t by the Gov
eminent or by Gen. Butler; and, secondly, be-
cause the transaction itself was not known to
either of them until Ihad left New Orleans and
had made my report to the Secretary Of State
l hope you will do the justice of giving this
note place in the American.
Yours, with regard,
REyFRDY ,JOBSsOS.
