The MilitaryICOmmander in the south
FOfthcomtDg Opinion of MIR. StRnbery.
The National InteLttgencer of this morning
says HtHo 49,. -..,....,.-.
at a very recent consultation of the Cabinet, 1t
was decided that the military officers in COM
represented States are divided, have no power
to remove civil officers deriving their autho.
organized The question, we understand,
before the Cabinet had more immediate re-
ference to the removal of the Governor and
other civil officers of the State of Louisiana by
General Sheridan, but of course 1t will apply to
the action of the other four commanders. No
doubt that the forthcoming opinion of the
Attorney General in accordance with the rea-
soning of which, It Is understood, the decision
referred to was arrived at, will fully justify the
legality ana propriety of this determination.
1t scarcely need to be suggested that the
issuing of orders replacing the deposed
officers which may become necessary as
consequence of this decision of the Govern.
ment, would be no good ground fol. application
on the part of General Sheridan to be relieved
from the position he holds, much less would 1t
warrant the inference that the Administration
con elnplateS or desires his removal for his
errors. We eel authorized to say that the
speculations of sensation journals upon this
imagined political manoeuvres on the part of
either the friends or the enemies of the General,
are wholly without foundation"

ceived at that department.
