and their reflections must have been salutary
His order about the distillation of grain was
timely. When people are hungry, they should
eat corn and not convert it into poison Gen. Scho-
field was wrong about POard's lecture, and 1t IS
well that the gascOuading editor was permitted 10
deliver it. AS it happened, Pollards man
difficulty was not the lecture but the audience
He came, but the people did not; ana
people being an essential element on such
occasions, Pollard became neither hero
nor martyr. BY all means let Pollard
talk, for if he will only try to talk to empty
benches he will soon get to plowing' we
fancy that the shovel and the hoe are the
conouering weapons of the chivalry, anu In
these Spring days corn and cotton arc too
precious to be neglected for "gab" Gen. ora
is quietly attending to his business ana WILL
we believe, attend to it we'll
But after all, honor to Phil. Sheridan! lie
has been the growing general The war showed
how great he was in the field. Peace is de-
ycloping loftier genius. His course in Louis
| lana brings back much of what was grand IN
the administration of Butler. Honor to PM.
Sheridanl From the day when he sent BACK
his manly reply to the President about the
| Newt Orleans riots he has not made mis-
taake-he has done nothing which has not
| brought him nearer to the loyal North. Ills
removal of the blood stained traitors was noDly
done. When the negroes held their mass-meet-
ing we are told that there was no disturbance
for Sheridan was in his saddle With Shcrl-
dan in the saddle we have confidence that all
will 20 well in New Orleans. We fully approve

necessary. And it has long been known that
the Radicals and Conservatives of Louisiana
equally desired his election from Office for which
| he was unfit. We have little respect Tor
Wells. He is tme-servcr and hypocrite. lie
cheated the Union men to gain Rebel votes.
! He cheated the Rebels to gain favor with
the Radicals. He proved himself traitor i'll
| 1865, and we have no faith in him now. we
! never believed in his sincerity as n Radical,
nor i'm his wisdom as q chief magistrate. AS
| he stands in the way of true reconstruction
and acts only with selfish motives, we are glad
| that he is removed, and that Sheridan had the
nerve to do it, We cheerfully accept Durant.
| He suffered for his devotion to the Union
| He is n radical of the most extreme school, and
| possesses many rare qualities. He Is honest
and true and wise, and while there are some
questions about which he may have extreme
! opinions, we feel that he will do wisely and
| prudently as Governor. His appointment will
be heartily welcomed in the North, and we
very earnestly hope that the rlmor that he
will decline the Office is unfounded From
New Orleans we learn that his appointment is
popular, even with his political opponents.
| So far, Reconstruction goes well. Our gen
erals are doing their duty by all. The country
stands by them, and will not permit them to
be annoyed. We pray the President, if evil
counselors persuade him to interfere and undo
this work, to stay his hand. Last year he at
tempted to defy the country and he saw what
came of it, 1t will not be wise to repeat the
