GEN. SlnePidan's Report

The official report Of Major General
Sheridan, of operations in the Fifth
Military District up to the time ofhi
removal, has been received at the
head quarters Of the army in Wash
ington, since tie completion Of Gen.
Grants report. He says that the per.
sons whom he found holding civil otfi-
ces in louisiana and Texas were
nearly all cx-rebel soldiers, or sym-
pa.hizers with the rebellion, and that
while they held Office i, was impossi-
ble to execute the military recons,ruc-
tion bills. lie defends his action n
removing many of these officials. and
says that they were Suffered to remain
in Office until it became absolutely
necessary from their dislayal acts to
oust them. lie adds that he strove
t. perform his daty faithfully and i'm
partially, taking as his guide what he
sincerely believed to be the spirit and
meaning of the law which he was ap-
pointed to execute. The Cordova -
Element in Mexico, he says, was con-
posed OF nnrcpentant rebels, and he
that from the impossibiliiy of
demonstrations OF syr,-
paihy for the Liberal canse in Mexico
by Union citizens and soldiers on the
border, some complications arose. but
they were readily adjusted. lie fur
ther says that reconstruction was pro-
gressing satisfactorily in his depart
ment at the time Of his removal, and
10 the satisfaction of all the people OF
his district, except unrepentant rebels
AMI dishonest political tricssters
whom he had denounced. He says
he has been assailcd by the highest
officer under the government as ty-
rant and partisan, but he declares
that in his heart he feels the aspersion
10 be untruthful. He concludes by
thanking his Subordinate officers for
the cheerful and zealons manners in
which they performed their severe
duties.
