Some of the New Orleans papers are
now as Jealous in abusing King Philip
Sheridan, so-caiied, as they were in the
praise of his administration when he
'lorded it, over this Department. bed
These, samo journals are playing the
toady to Gen. Hancock. Because he,
through fear to do otherwise. and for
the sakeof personal popularity in the
wane of Radicalism. obeys the impera-
tive instructions from his superiors. he
is Landed to the skies aud proposed as IA
candidate for President. But this, we
imagine, is only for the time being;-he,

said, 1tstlie good deeds that men do are
oft inferred with their bohes;-the evil
