Gen. Rousseau's letter 70 Gen. Grant is be-
fore our readers, and it will be noticed that
while he denies having interfercd with Shcri-
dan while in ew-0rleans, he adlnils that in
answer to a telegram from Washington-we
presume from the President-he said that "tbe
estate Of affairs was gloomy, that the people
"weTc much depressed, and that any change
would be almost universally accepted We
beg leave to correct Gen. Rousseau's phraseol-
ogy; any change would be universally accented,
because there is no power of refusal, but the
removal Of Sheridan is far from being univer-
sally approved. BY "the people," Gen. Rous-
sean evidently means white people, and by
white people he means the disloyal citizens of
Texas and Louisiana. The main charge Shcri-
dan made is admitted by Gen. Rousseau. What
ever may have been his purpose in visiting
Louisiana, it is certain that his report to the
President was used us justification Of ShcIi-
dams removal. Yet We consider the matter
one of slight importance, and not worth fur
tileT discussion.

rUF cBJcACe L1BOR CONGRESS

This body has adjourned, after doing as
nearly nothing as possible, that is, if the daily
reports have fairly set forth its work a
contemporary sums up the fruits of tho Congress
thus: "The principle OF cooperation was
RECOMMENDED; representation was chosen
"to make The tour of Europe, with an mex
"plcit commission to gather facts pertaining
"to the labor system there and 10 the practi-
zeal working Of cooperation; a step was taken
"to form Il workingmcn's political party; and n
report was adopted which aims to secure bet
"tcr State laws in respect 20 apprentices.
Surely. this is not a wonderful deal OF work
for so important body; and little as it is,
there is some of it that should have been LETT
undone. The sending of member on pleas
urc trip 20 Europe may be a harmless as well
rs useless employment of money; but the step
toward the organization Of laboring men
into political party IS fraught with
the direst mischief. Workingmen
will find out to their cost, if they venture
upon the experiment, that partisan leaders and
domagoguns will fasten upon them like leeches,
and use them for their own selfish purposes.
II should be the very first article in the by
laws of every Woikingmcn'S Association that
they will not, as q body have anything to say
or do concerning politics, Or political parties,
beyond striving to procure the best possible
legislation from the powers that be. Asa rule,
the workingmen now have the good Will
and confidence of all parties, and of all
business men and capitalists. They
cannot afIorl to lose this confidence,
either partially by spasmodio strikes,
or wholly 10y undertaking to establish new
party. And If it were proper, there is no
room just now for a third party, and any or
ganization attempting TO take such position
will be speedily absorbed on the one hand
or the other. We must reconstruct the Union
through the machinery now in running order
before we have time to waste in new parties.
1t would bc gratifying to know that every
working man could be oouatcd with Us IN the
great worl, but whatever his convictions in
this matter, we repeat The warning TO keep
clear of woriingmens political organizations.

The Memphis Bulletin is in distress because
it can find no answer to the question: "Who il

The white man, it thinks, viii not do it, be-
cause free immigration has always flowed rather
to the Northern and Western than to tho
Southern States. The negro will not, because
lie never has done it, But why have white
laborers hitherto avoided the rich lands of the
South, and why have black men neglected
them? The same answer may be given TO both
questions. The only drawback to Southern
prosperity has been Slavery, which has reDelled
free labor while it has paralyzed the industry
of the slaves. If Mr.. Johnson could only make
up his mind to let the unTecOnstructed States
work out their destiny in peace there is no
reason why both races should not do their share
toward the regeneration of one OF the faireat
portions OF our republic.

TIE RrMorAL on NnERLDlN

Gen. Grant did not too strongly state the
case OF the People rS. Andrew johnson wien
in his invited letter of remonEmnco against
the displacement Of Gen. Sheridan from COM
mand at New Orleans, he said:
al am pleased 10 avail myself of i, Invitation 20 urge
earnestly urge-urgo ia tho name OF pgrioc people
who have sacrificed hundreds Of thousands Of loyal lives
and thousands Of millions ~ treasure 20 prcscrvc the iu

mcnt by anus and now wish 10 be the only element
II will eubodon them 20 renewed opposition to the win
Of the loyal masses believing that they have the EXecu

THIS is the simple truth There is no in
veterate dcyotec of and mouner for "Thc
Lost Cause" in the whole country who does
not exult over Shelidan's removal; there is no
earnest advocate of Reconstruction on the
basis proposed by Congress who does not de
plOre it. Mr.. Johnson, in removing him. has
proved his professions of obedience to the laws
"a brazen fraud; for this single act will do
more to impede and prevent the execution of
| the Reconstruction acts than Gen. Grant can
| possibly do to promote it. "IIis removal will
only be regarded as an effort to defeat the
claws of Congress" {" Seems, madam nay. it
"tsF) There is no seeming in the case. The
unrccOnstructed have had no such good news
since the battle of Chickamauga.
| Mr.. Johnson, in reply, descends to sophistry
which cannot deceive even himself. He saws:
"Whie am conizant OF the efforts that have been
made tO.retan Gen Sheridan in command OF the Fifth
Military District am not aware that the question has
been submitted to the people themselves for deter
mination"
Surely, Mr. johnson cannot so soon have
forgotten the issue nc made up with Gen. Sher-
idan by their antagonist versions of the New
Orleans massacre last year. nor the verdict so en-
phatically rendered thereon by the People in
the election of Representatives in the present
Congress. Is he mot aware" of Sheridan's
dispatch of which somebody gave to the public a
gMblcd and most deceiving version? Has he
forgotten speech on this New-Orleans matter
which somebody made in st. Louis

Gen. Sheridan has been censured on now
grounds. He is not Radical enough to suit The
NeW- orleans Tribune. That paper says in re-
gard to his removal:

readily believe that he would have done under any

his appointments are excellent, and that his
policy is sound aud just We are convinced.

THE DIRECT ISSUE.

what order Gen Sickcs has disObeycd what
authority he has usurped the people have not
vet been informed. The President, in removing
him. has simply exercised arbitrary power with
ont justification or excuse. Gen. Sickles
has been removed solely because he en-
forces tho laws Of Congress according to
the lcttor aud in the spirit the people
dictate-bccausc the President will not have
them enforced 1t is war upon the laws that
Mr.. Johnson has begun--plain war under
the color Of Executive authority to remove
and appoint. Gen. Candy, who is to sue
coed Sjckles. is yet to be tried, and We need
NOT doubt that the President viii try him.
II NAV 1865. he was appointed TO the com
mand of the Department of the Gulf retaining
il til superseded by Sheridan, but while
in that position assumed no response
lhty upon which his course in the
Carolinas may be justly predicted. This much
needs to be said-thc successors of Sheridan
and Sickcs, the men appointed by Andrew
johnson, cannot escape a certain suspicion.
Gems. Candy and Hancock must be content
with a suspension of Judgment, and are en-
titled to that consideration by their honorable
record as soldiers. They viii stand or fall as
they are foes or friends of the law.
The TRIBUNE has been severely criticised
because it has criticised Cen Grant We do
not regret anything we have said OF the Gene
raj of the Army; we found him silent in the
Presidents Cabinet, and the official instrument
by which Sheridan was removed. We de-
manded to know why he accepted Such.an ex-
traordinary position before we chose to
sustain him therein. We are now rcjoiced
TO say that il his letter to the
President, If the news we print to-day, do not
fully prove that Gen. Grant is thorough Re
publican they uuquestionably do prove that he
is not in sympathy with Andrew Johnson Mr.
Johnson has oycrIulcd his arguments, and re
ycrscd his orders, and has even gone so far
as to direct Sheridan to 20 at once to
the Plains, though Grant had summoned
him 30 Washington. Nay, he has gone
further; Grant instructed Gen. Thomas to
maintain all orders he should find in force in
the Fifth District the President instructs
Hancock to annul whatever he secs iit This
is direct issue, and no man who honestly
honors Grant for his services in the
| field, who honestly desires to know him as q
friend Of reconsluction will fail to rejoice
that it is made. There is gulf between the
people and the President, and those whom the
people trust must stand upon their side of It.
No bridge is possible. No man, however great
his popularity, can reconcile belief in the laws
of Congress with voluntary obedience to the
Presidents policy; and the sooner the open
"ruptuc," which Gen. Grants friends predict,
occurs-thc sooner he speaks rs a soldier should
the better it will be ior himself and for the
