General sheridan Reports to Grant His
Reasons for His Removal from ONCE Of
Judge Abel, Attorney General Heron
and Mayor Monroe, etc.
Nrw YORK, June 5.-The Tfi6une's
New Orleans special says that Sheridan,
having been asked for his reasons for
removals, has forwarded the following I:
HEADQUARTERS THIRp MILITARY
DISTRICT.
To General U. S. Grant, commanding
the Armies Of the United States, Wash
ingtou-General: On the goth OF March
las. | removed Judge E E. Abel, Of the
Criminal Court Of New Orleans, and
Andrew ]. Heron, Attorney General Of
the State, and John F. Monroe, Mayor
of the city Of New Orleans. These re-
moyals were made under the power
granted in what is termed the Military
bill, passed March'27th, 1867, by Con-
gress. l 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 mas
sacre Of July 30th and the report of the
Congressional Committee on the same
massacre; but, as some inquiry has been
uade for the cause Of their removal, l
would respectfully state as follows: The
Court over which Judge Abel presided
is the only criminal Court in New Or
leans. For a period lasting for months
previous to July both he had been en-
gagged with a largo portion Of the COM
munity in concentrating measures for
the preparation Of this outrage. The
records Of the Court will show that he
fulfilled his promise, as not one of the
guilty ones was prosecuted. In reference
to Andrew J. Heron, the Attorney Gen
eral of the State, | considered it bis
duty to indict these men before this
Criminal Court. This he failed to do /;
but went so far as TO attemptto impose
on the good Seuse Of the whole nation
by indicting the victims Of the riot, in
stead of the rioters-in other words,
making tho innocent guilty and the
innocent. He was therefore the
abettor, with Judge Abel, in bringing
on the massacre of July 30th. Monroe
controlled the element in this riot, when,
backed by the Attorney General, who
would not prosecute the guilty, and the
| Judge who advised the Grand Jury to
find the innocent guilty and let murder
ers 60 free, he felt secure in engaging
his police force in the riot and massacre.
With these three men welding a large
influence among the worst elements Of
the city, and giving to these elements
immunity for riot and ~bloodshed, the
| General in Chief will see how insecure
l felt in letting them occupy their posi-
tons in the troubles which might occur
in registration and voting and in organ
izations.
am, respectfully, your obd't serv't.
p. II. SHERIDAN, Maj. Gen. U. S. A.
