NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The Herald's New
Oreleans special says: The removal of ex
Rebel Gen. HAYS this afternoon, and the
appointment of ex-Marshal Cuthbert Bull
lit, personal friend of Mr.. Lincoln, as
Sheriff, has created intense excitement
here. While Gen. Mower esteems HAYS
socially, he felt his removal was necessary
to the peace and security of the communi-
ty. You will remember that Hay's brigade
figured conspicuously in the July riots.
My information satisfies me that General
Mower in making this change was solely
influenced by the public veal, and felt it
necessary to have man as Sheriff who
could be depended upon in the event of an
other riot being attempted when the con-
vention meets on the 23d inst. Bullitt gives
satisfaction to the moderate men of all
parties, and his appointment will be app
proved at Washington, where he is known
as one of the fearless Unienists who fought
treason here from the beginning.

Bolts takes desponding view of the politi
cal situation in Virginia. He thinks thu

is needed.
