II ri TELEGRAPH
WASHINGTON, Thursday June 6, 1857
Since the displacement of Gov. Wells, by Gen.
Sheridan renewed efforts have been made for the
moval of that officer. These efforts are not only
made by the Monroe and Wells class of politicians,
but also by chque who have been in Washington
for some time, who style themselves Radical Repub-
leans but who are mere office hunters who cannot
get into the favor of the General in Command in
in Louisiana Those desiring the removal of
Gen. Sheridan are now more hopeful than ever
that their efforts TO that end will succeed Dis
patches have been coming here from New-Orleans
asking the President 10 interfere Immediately.
These have been sent to North Carolina but it is not
likely the President will interfere until after ne
turns BY that time il is expected Attorney General
Stanbery's opinion will be ready, and it is tOerably
sure he will decide adversely TO the powers of re-
moval lately exercised by the various commanders,
1t is the general opinion here that If the President
relieves Sheridan we shall have July session Of
Congress. There is certainly chance for il unless
such contingency arises.
The Radical Republicans held Jubilee tonight
over their recent victory in this city tOrchlight
procession of white and cOlored men paraded the
street, and at the City Hall an immense mass meet
ing was held. which was addressed by several ora
tors. Cen Butler had been invited to speak, but
instead of doing he sent the following letter. which
created much enthusiasm when it was read:
