/ aa New YORK, Aug. "a. /
To the Editor Of the Tribune: t.ii lh7liidt-
SIR R:-Your special Washington |
correspondent OF yesterday telo-
graphs as follows: "It is said on
good authority that Sheridan ,had
made out an order for the arrest and |
trial before military commission,
of Gems. Steadman and Rosseau, for
impeding reconstruction. The law
gives him that power, Rosseau aud
Stoadman suddenly left New Or
leans, and the arrest was thus pre-
vented" %
That Gen. Sheridan made out an
order for the arrest of Gen. Stead I
man and myself, may be truo; but
/ neither know nor do | believe it
TO be true. The insinuation in the
above paragraph, that gems. Stead h
man and Rosseau suddcnly left foloI
New Orleans to avoid arrest, is
simply q malicious if not a malig- 4
nant invention, and its author is q
very credulous and simple person, I
or else a very artful or reckless fab l.
ricator AS your correspondent
shields himself behind tho words, /
''it is said, on good authority" he is ,
supposed to- bo no further RESPONSE
BILE in the promises than any other
journalist in his peculiar depart
ment; but as, perhaps, it will not
do to let tho statement 60 uncon- |
tradicted, am rather forced into
the. annoyance of this reply. Let /
mo toll yon, Mr.. Editor, that Gen.
Sheridan knew perfectly well, and
from my own lips, the day and the
hour Of my departure from Now I
Orleans; so ho had full opportunity
to enforce an arrest if indeed, he
designed one. II
Perhaps it is well enough e. add
as fact within my knowledge, that
Gen. Steadman, who was TO have
left New Orleans with me, was de- |
tanned in that city for several days
after my departure, by the serious
illness of a nephew. / have not
heard that any effort was made to
arrest him. II is not the habit Of
either Gen. Steadman or myself to
depart suddenly. Yours, very re-
