Letter from Sheridan to Grant,
giving his Reasons for Reno
walls made by him.
NEW YORK, juno 6
The Tribune's New Orleans
special says: Gen Sheridan. having
been asked for his reasons for his
removals, this day forwarded the
following:
HEADQUARTERS 5TH MILITARY DlsT.
Gen. y. S. Grant, Commanding
armies U. s., Washington, d. c.:
GEEERAL:-On the goth of March
last removed from Office Judge
L Abel, of the Criminal Court of
New Orleans, Andrew J Heron,
Attorney. General of the State of
Louisiana, and John Il. Monroe,
Mayor of the city ofNew Orleans
The removals were made under
the power granted me in what is
usually termed the military bill,
passed March 27, 1867, by the
Congress Of the United States. ]
did not deem it necessary to give
any reason for the remarval OF
these men, especially after tho in
vestigation made by the Military
Board on the massacre of July Both,
1865, and the report of the Con.
grcssional Committee on the same
massacre, but as since inquiry has
been made for the cause of remov-
al, | would respectfully state as
follows:
The court over which Judge
Abel presided Is the only crimi-
nal court in tho city Of New
Orleans, and for period of at least
nine months previous to July Both,
he had been educating a large
portion OF the community TO tho
Preparation of this outrage, by
almost promising no prosecution
in his court against the offenders,
in case such an event occurred
The records of this court will show
that he fulfilled his promise, as not
one Of the guilty ones has been
prosecuted.
In reference TO Andrew ], Her.
ron, Attorney General of the State
of Louisiana, | considered it his
duty to indict these men before
tins criminal court. This he failed
to do, but went so far as to attempt
to impose on the good sense Of the
whole nation by indicting victims
of the riot instead OF the riot.
ers: in other words, making the in
noccnt guilty and the guilty inno-
cent. He was, therefore. an abot-
tor of, and coadjutor with, Judge
Abel in bringing on the massacre
of July 3Oth.
Mayor Monroe controlled the el-
emont engaged in this riot, and
when backed by an Attorney Gen,
eral who would not prosecute the
guilty, and Judge who advised
the grand jury To- find the innocent
guilty and let tho murdcrers go
free, felt secure in engaging his po-
lice force in the riot and massacre.
With these threo men, exercising a
large influence on the worst clio
ments of this city, giving to these
clements an immunity for riot and
blcodshed, the Gcnel al-in- CHIEF
will see how insecure | felt in let,
ting them occupy their positions
in the trosbles which might occur
in registration and voting in the
reorganization.

your obedient servant,

Your correspondent Pascal" must
either be q stranger here, or else recetv-
ed his Information from the parties best
shown up in his report to you in yester-
days issue of your paper.
For some reason he has omitted four
groceries, one tobacconlst, seven car
penIers, one boot and shoe shop, (the
best in the place), one butcher, one
firm of agricultural works, one barber,
five painters, three blacksmiths, and
two livery stables.
He says, j. NJ. Gundy has outstripped
his illustrious cOmpeers In the grocery
business. Now I happen to be in a pO-
sition to know that there is one grocery
which does nine times as much busi-
ness-another which does eight times
as much-and three others which do
three and half times as much; hence
your correspondent has been sadly mis-
informed in these things.
Again, persons who are not acquaint-
ed in this section of the country would
suppose from "PascRl's" article, that
Mr.. A. d. Rice is the largest grape
grower we have, which is not the case.
There are several growers here, who
have quite ns many In cultivation, as
Mr.. Rice. Mr.. Ad. Newland has twice
AS many acres growing and has at
present near ten thousand gallons of
wine in his cellar.
These are all little things, but when
we, over here, count them up they
make pretty much. UNo.

chInery.
London Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial
There are number OF establishments
throughout London, however, for brush
ing the hair by machinery. This Is an
invention far superior to anything OF
the kind in vogue in America. Enter
one of these rooms, and you Will notice
revolving shaft extending down along
the ceiling, with pulleys upon II at reg
ular intervals. Beneath each pulley Is
bar ber's chair, with H flexible band OF
india rubber extending above. You
are placed in the chair, sitting upright,
and the operator takes his position be-
hind you with his brush, which is of
cylindrical shape, about six inches In
diameter, the bristles extending from the
axis outward. A spindle goes through
it with handle at each end. This
spindle which is held by the barber
with both hands, is stationary, while
the brush revOlves about 1t with
lightning velocity, when the band
which hangs down from the shaft
above it is placed around pulley on
the brush. The elasticity of the india
rubber band is such that the operator
can hold the brush, turning all the
time, a foot above your head, two feet
behind you, just touch your hair or
sweep through it with velocity of
hundred revolutions minute, while a
cloud of dust and dRndrutf falls down
in front of you, leaving your head per-
iectly free and clean from all impuri-
ties, more than any shampooning pro-
cess could accomplish. The whole thing
is done in an instant almost. They
have hard brushes and soft brushes,
and the sensation as they whirl around
your head and through your hair is
electrical. A morning headache disap-
pears almost Immediately and any one
who has experienced the luxury of
having his hair brushed by machinery
finds i pleasure which, in future, he
will not willingly foreRo. There are
hundreds of these establishments in
England, and their number is con-
stanly increasing.

WE have all doubtless read dsomething
of the recent excursion to Chicago In
what are known as the "Silyer Palace
Cars" AS most OF the newspapers had
a representative on board, the public
are in possession OF all the facts of in
terest connected with this new mani
fastation of luxury in travel. But with
all the gorgeous description with which
we have been favored, it is difficult to
realize that "Silver Palace Cars" are
real institutions, open to all passengers
who are willing to pay for the luxury,
and available whenever one may be in
duced to make the journey. The rich
upholstery, the mirrors, the carved
work and the silver, of which we have
read SO much, form an unreal picture
such as we get from the story OF Alad-
Ciin's lamp, or at best make the occa-
sion seem only a holiday one, with all
this luxury good for this trip only"
And yet 1t Is all true, and that comfort
which has long been concomitant of
travel by water, is now transferred to
the land. But when We have learned
to soar above the jolting OF uneven
rails and the dust of sandy plains, in
the flying machines, that are now seri-
ously talked of, we shall have accom-
plished an advance which will make
these Improvements. of which we now
boast SO loudly, seem as shabby as they
now seem magnificent.

A writer on the subject of "BenevO-
lent Blunders," in Good Words, gives
the following account of some obsta-
cles in the way of a religious life
which will be likely to strike most rea-
ders as novel: t-
"a lady had gone to visit young
couple of the better class of the poor.
They had as yet no children, and the
husband being a stoker on a railway,
they were above the reach of want.
Under these circumstances 1t seemed to
the visitor that they might have attend
ed to their religious duties, at least to
the extent of going to church on Sun
days, and she ventured to Intimate as
much to the young woman who was
standing rather idly at the door. "Will
you please walk in till l show you

and she conducted her visitor into the
little Kitchen where her husband sat by
the fire. He had Just come home for
half an hour to have his tea, and was
Watching the kettle with the most
course In his working clothes, and
his face and hands were of a
deep oily black, after the manner of
stokers. snow, ma'am," said the wo-
man, pointing TO him, "yOu see that

SIR-I was In the eastern part of the
city n few evenings since, and while
there went out on Fulton street; that
street about which there has been SO
much talk, and SO little done toward
putting 1t in good condition. 1 was
surprised after having passed over 1t,
from John street to the east end OF
Baker street, to see the small amount
of grading and filling that would be
required on the entire length of the
road. There will be one culvert of con-
siderable size or capacity required, but
1 have been informed that private par
ties will build that at their own expense.
Now, construct that road to the Ceme-
terry, and we will then have what the
citizens OF Wheeling demand, road
which will be passable at all times to
the Cemetery, and no fear OF u funeral
procession being horror stricken at
seeing the coffin containing a loved one
tumbling down over the hill. Sirs,
this is no idle speculation, for this has
actually occurred on the old road, and
is liable to occur again, after every rain.
I now ask If you can tell me why 1t Is
the city fathers are SO Indifferent on
this subject. 1t is not only indiffer-
ence, 1t Is something else. 1t is said II
that road Is made 1t will then be ex-
tended to the pike; that Is where the
shoe pinches. But suppose the road is
whole lose anything? No, sir, but
she will gain considerably from the
property that will come into market,
for It will then be accessible, and now
IL is not. and never will be, without that
road. There is no outlet to the city
that will be as general a benefit to the
city as this one. Then why delay 1t? I
would say, repair the Zane street
bridge; then stop not TO put dollar on
the old road; put 1t all on Fulton street.
