FROM WASHINGTON.

NEw York, Aug. %.
The Tribane's Washington special says:
The friends Of Gen. Sheridan, who have ar
rived here this evening direct from New Or
leans, state that that officer received an un-
official despatch late on Saturday even.
ing from Washington informing him
that an order for his removal would be
issued on Tuesday. He received the new s
very coolly, remarkiDg to friends of the
President that he felt satisfied that he had
simply done his duty as an officer of the
United States Government, and was sorry
that his superior officers should find fault with
him. His order apportioning the State Of
Louisiana into election districts and appoints
ing day for the election Of delegates to the
State Convention was only issued Saturday
noon. When the order had been issued he
said he felt that he had finished his task with
Louisiana, and would Immediately turn his
whole attention to Texas. He had contem-
plated an immediate inspection into the af.
fairs Of the latter State for the purpose of
| seeing for himself exactly how matters stood.
| Advices from the General commanding in
that State were that better feelings existed
there than heretofore, and that the removal
OF Throckmor:on and other rebel officials
had cowed and subdued the rebel element.
General Sheridan kept the news of his re-
| moval quiet. and it was known to but few un.
| ill it was published in the newspapers. 1t is
thought that he will make one pore removal
before he retires-that of Gen. Harry Hayes
| from the position of Sheriff.
A number of prominent Union men of this
city are preparing charges against Steadman
and Rousseau for hindering reconstruction,
which they intend presenting jointly to Gen.
Grant and Congress at its next session. II
| is limited that if Rousseau hadremaned many
days longer in New Orleans he would have
been arrested and tried under the provisions
of the reconstruction law, which makes il
felony to interfere with its prosecution.
The Times Washington special says: Gen
Grant when npprised of the Presidents in
ten,ion TO remove Stanton, sent him an ear
nest protest, questioning his legal right to
! take the step; also, that in his opinion the
gravest reasons of public policy de-
| manded that the removal be not made. Te
this the President made no reply. Genera
Grants remonstrance against the removal o
Gen. Sheridan was even more emphatic. He
urged the President for financial, patriotic
and all other considerations, not to make thu
removal To this the President replied a
length in letter covering from ten to tween
ty pages. lie argued the case in his usua
style and closed with reiteration of his de
termination in letter to Gen. Grant of Au
gust3d.
Gen Sheridan says that the number regis
tered in Louisiana is little over To- GOO 1h
State will undoubtedly come in as a Uniol

1t is already known. the instructions some
days ago sent to Gen. Sickles are to the effect
that the process of the Federal Court must
not be interfered with by the military au>

memberment Of the British Empires Aud
whereas IL is considered very polite and wise
to presuppose that the term Beniau includes
the word ''lrshman,' in order that, by means
of series of judicious blunders, a national
prejudice against the Sister Isle may be so
stimulated as to create an Irish sympathy for
an American conspiracy, II 1OiH be your duty
to give directions to those under your imme-
diate authority not only to watch, trace,
track, and otherwise treat, as heretofore, with
suspicion, every person who may happen to
be native of that part of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland known as Ire
land, but as far as is possible act up to the
spirit of the following additional instructions,
which have been carefully and judiciously
drawn up
Arrest everybody who appears to have the
brogue. ...
Take the names and addresses of all the
members of the Board of Green Cloth, and
watch the movements of the Green Park.
Warn the comic Irishman at all the Minor
Theatres, and obtain a warrant for the arrest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dion Bouoicault.
Track out the man who first limited the Moon
was made of Green Cheese, and follow ladies
in pOplin generally.
Seize every Irish bull.
Note the movements Of Mr.. Harry Emanuel,
and find out what he does with his Emeralds.
Summon every one who has any green in
his eye.
Arrest Mr.. Trueftt, or any other renowned
head scenter, and all those politically involved
ia the revival of the Colleen Baum.
Suspect everybody generally, and accustom
yourself to swearing fearlessly and liberally in
all cases Of Identification.
A hearty attention to these instructions, it
is hoped, will materially hasten on those feel
ings of sympathy and goodwill which should
always exist between this country and the
Sister Island, and which recent policy has
done SO much to strengthen.
