The Removals In Now Orleans.
The New Orleans papers Of the 28th,
publish General SHERIDAN's order remov-
ing several State and municipal officers,
and appointing others to fill their places.
The following remarks in reference to
this matter, we clip from the P;cay,sne
Incur extra of yesterday we published an
order from Major-General Sheridan. IN
which he exercises the power conferred on
him by Congress, to continue or remove the
officers exercising State and municipal
functions among us, by: removing from the
bench, of, the First District Court Hon.
Edmund Abel y, and appointing W. Nv.
Howe, Esq, in his stead. He also removes
Attorney General "A. s.. Heron and replaces
him with B. L. Lynch, Esq, late Attorney
General Of the State, and Mr.. Henon's i'm
mediate predecessor. n
The very; responsible and influential Of
fee Of Mayor: is vacated BY the removal Of
Hon. John I Monroe, and filed by the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Edward Heath to his
place. We presume these new officers will
proceed at once to qualify themselves for
and to entersupon the duties Of their res
pectivo Offices Indeed; ;..s the order of the
Commanding General does not require any
oath of Office to be taken, nor the act: Of
Congress prescribes such, this may be un-
necessary. :r::ss, :.a: =: ;S: - H. H.
These gentlemen have q delicate duty to,
perform in the present juncture Of affairs.
fthey. act with discretion and impartiality,
| they will earn respect for themselves and
| this is Of much greater value-than titulary
honors, and more enduring then riches.
The action Of 6 zen. Sheridan in this re-
spect, IS therefore: SO far, an assumption Of
the control Of the agencies by which crime
is prevented and punished. It:srMia: 1 not in
! consistent with his general order, which
gave ASSURANCES that no unnecessary
changes would be made It is, entirely
! within his discretion to decide what changes
are required to fulfil the objects q. the
military bill, Of which the; admins t alton
i has been committed to him. The, main
motive for the passage Of the bill was
therein pronounced to be the preservation
Of order and the prevention of crime.
We may be; clearly Of opinionthat these
changes were unnecessary for. that. object
| We have argued incessantly: that the
| police has been always sufficient, and that
1.-THE riots Of: July were except cases,
which cannot fairly be pleaded against us:
But we failed to produce. any impression in
favor Of that view on the people of the
| North; and the military bill had its chief
justif fcation,> in the belief that the blame Of
the riots here was due to the neglect or mis-
conduct Of the civil authorities. From this
standpoint General Sheridan, who shared
originally in this opinion, and acts under Ia
specific direction given, to: him By BY law IN
conformity with that view, has: decided
that the administration of criminal matters
should be changed The persons removed
are those who are accused with most .Yio-
lence, and condemned, by the faise public
opinion which the perverted facts of the
riot created; but We may see that this order.
means to execute o judgment which was
pronounced: beforehand, and must be con
ceded to be a natural sequence ofthe- mill,
tary bill, its causes and Its injunotiens. !.
we cannot affect the case by repeating
our own convictions, or rearguing what has
been adj dicated against MS, by an author
ity from which there is no appeal !: :+5z ~.
There is, we find, very general appre-
hension expressed that these are but initia-
tory measures for. a general sweep from
Office Of the. civil authorities of State and
city, It may, be, SO but # sissaet spreyed
BY. these removals, which rbAt Mh hs5istiuct distinct
principle Of action, that does not necessarily
apply ITO appointments strictly civil, not
coming within any of the definitions Of the
Bill or the scope Of the general order.
On this head We can only be. decided BY
events, and as We; cannot divsiine or control
them, we must wait! # y; Z -, gis iSa
