CHICAGO, June. 6.-The Chicago Journals
Aurora special SAYS: The official returns of
the judicial election give Wilcox l64 major
ity in Kane and IL in DuPage counties.
New YORK, June 6.-The NY. Tribune's
New Orleans special says:
Gen. Sheridan having been asked for his
reasons for his removals, this day forwarded
the following:
HEADqUARTERs FIFTH MILITARY DIsr.,
June 4.
Gen. U. s. Can't, Commanding Armies of
the U. S. Washington
GENERAL:-On the 10th of March last, j
removed from office Judge Abel of the
criminal court of New Orleans; Andrew j.
Herrcn, Attorney General of the louisiana,
and John F. Monroe, mayor of the city of
New Orleans. Their removals were made
under the powers granted me in what is usu-
ally termed the military bill, passed March
9th, 1867, by the congress of the United
States. / did not deem it necessary to give
any reasons for the removal OF these men,
especially after the investigation made by
the military board on the massacre of July
30th, 1866, and the report of the congress
sianal committee on the same massacre, but
as some inquiry has been made for cause OF
the removal, | would respectfully state as
follows The court over which Judge Abel
presided is the only Grimm nal court in the
city of New Orleans and the period of the
last nine months previous to July 3oth, he
had been educating large portion of the
community to the preparation OF this out
| rage, by almost promising no prosecution IN
his court against the offenders, in case such
| an event occurred. The records of his court
will show that he fulfilled his promise, as not
one of the guilty ones has been prosecuted.
In reference to Andrew j. Heron, Attor-
ney General of the state of louisiana | con-
sidered it his duty to indict these men be-
| fore this criminal court. This he failed to
do, but went so far as to attempt to impose
on the good sense of the whole nation by in
| dieting the victims of the riot, instead of the
rioters. In other words making the inno-
| cent guilty, and the guilty innocent. He was
| therefore an abettor of, and coadJutor with
| Judge Abel in bringing on the massacre of
| July 30th.
| Mayor Monroe controlled the element en-.
gagged in this riot, and, when backed by an
attorney general who would not prosecute
the guilty, and a judge who advised the
grand jury to find the innocent guilty and
let the murderers 60 free; felt secure in en-
gaging his police force in the riot and mas
sacre. With these three men, exercising q
large influence on the worst elements of this
city giving these elements an immunity for
riot and blood-shed, the general in chief
will see how insecure felt in letting them
occupy their positions in the troubles whsch
might occur in registration and voting in
the reorganization.
| am General,
Very Respectfully,
| Your Ob't Servant,
Signed p. II. SHERIDAN,
