A rslk with Gen, sheridan.

correspondent of the Ohio State Journal, who
has recently visited Gen. Sheridan, writes as fol-
lows:
The papers report you, general, as having said
that Grant was more radical than yourself: how
do you make that ont! al said so,n returned the
general, land prove il thus: When / first took
command of the fifth district Gen. Grant sent me
an order 10 allow no man to sit on a Jury who
could not take the iron-clad oath. / mildly re-
monstrated against this, and wrote to the general
requesting q modification Of the order, so that all
who might vote might also sit upon jury.
This he did accordingly, aud il was for this
very radical order and its modification to suit me
that / said he was more radical than myself"
The oath referred to requires man to swear that
he never bore arms against il, or acknowledged
allegiance to the Southern Confederacy, or gave
to the enemies of the United States aid, comfort,
or encouragement.
1t is, therefore, called the "Ironclad.n But
Sheridan found many who could not take this
oath who had been forced into rebellion, and who
had been clothed with the night Of suffrage and
to this class he very properly accorded right to
sit upon the jury.
"Is it your opinion, general, that Grant did all
he could TO sustain your"
Undoubtedly" was his reply. Everything I
did was under direct order from him, or under
his Endorsement and approval. To fall out with

HEADoUARrERs, FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT. !
OFFIcK OF SECRETARY ron Civil AFFAIRs,
New Orleans, La. Jan. 2l. 1863.

- .- New Orleans, La, Jan. 21, 1868.
Prevst MAJOR General J. Reynoidr Commanding Disret
GeneTdl-I am directed by the major general
commanding to acknowledge receipt of your
letter Of the 9th inst together with copies of tele
grams and other documents, showing that dis
turbance was created at public meeting In Mar
shall Texas, and the arrest of certain parties by
military authority and the release Of said parties
by writ OF habeas corpus. You also ask for in
structions upon the following points: when
military officer makes arrest Of q civilian, shall
the hitter be delivered up at once, the applica
tion Of himself or friends 10 the civil authority,
as vas done at Marshall or shall the military
officer hold the civilian In custody until the case
or superior Headquarters"
In reply, Major General Hancock directs me to
say, by virtue of the third section Of the act OF
Congress of the I'd OF March, 1857, il Is made the
duty of the district commanders " to punish or
cause to be punished all dsturbers Of the public
peace and criminals. and, to this end, he may
allow local civil tribunals TO take jurisdiction Of
and try offenders; or, when, In his Judgment, it
may be necessary for the trial of offenders, he
shall have power to organize military commis-
sicDs or ,sns ssunaIs for for that ETC. Is
commander to determine before what courts
offenders shall be tried. When the accused is
turned over for trial to the civil tribunals, he ia
subject to their custody and Jurisdiction, and he
must necessarily be turned over forthwith to the
proper civil officers for that purpose; for In that
class Of cases the military can exercise no control
over the civil authority. IT, on the contrary, the
offender is to be tried by military commission
or tribunal, he is held in the custody of the mill
tary, and the civil courts are forbidden to inter-
fere under color of State authority. These two
classes OF cases are entirely distinct, and different
rules apply to them. General orders No. 40,
from these headquarters, expressly refer to this
distinction. In proper cases the offender may be
held for sufficient length Of time, to enable the
commanding general to determine whether the
party ought TO he tried by military commission.
When writ of habeas corpus issues in cases sub
mitted to military jurisdiction. a return of that
fact is sufficient and the civil court is bound at
once to dismiss the application. When the report
of Colonel Wood, special inspector. in reference
to this affair is received, further specific orders
will be given in this case.
1t is the intention Of the msjOr general COM
mandDg to support the civil authorities where
they require assistance, and to that end he will
discharge all civil officers who fail to perform
their duties.
For further advice. as TO your proposed action
on this subject see letter to Governor Pease,
copies Of which have been furnished you.
