=
Your dispat h Of the sth Of February, directing
me TO suspend my order No. %, Of the 7th Of
February, removing certain members Of the CRY
Council OF New Orleans until a full report of the
reasons therefor should be sent TO you, was re-
ceived at 10 Am to-day.
request that you may reconsider your action,
and that my order in the premises be nos sus.
pended until you have the full report of the res.
fons called Tor by you. | telegrs phsd you At the
1oment the order was issued, giving as full
ftatement Of my ressous for action as | thought
could be made. referred you to the order Of
Gen. Sheridan, fOrbiddIug elections, which you
have on file az your headquarters and stated that
fhe City C1uucil had been previously notified Of
fhis order by me. | alsO referred you TO an order
of Gen. Mower. issued in OCTOBER last, which set
forth a pa allel case which you have on
g. you for q reinstatement OF the council removed
by General Mover, which appeal you had not sus-
tained. The present case was defense OF that
a Example Of Gtueral Sheridans order, and OF my
letter cautioung the council t. desist from this
Election, and a printed copy of which was for
Farded 10 YOU January 26th. 1t was also illegal
Ander the law by which they claimed to act. i
'UGs abtOnished at he action of The council, and
i ould not account for IL except by the fact that
1hey had been instgated TO do il by designing men,
y no believed that if dared to make the'e reno
,Vals il would end in my own removal from this
place, and that they would be protected at any
Iae.
NV selfrespect. as commander Of the district,
made il absolutely necessary that | should take
Quences with which partizans might threaten me.
4 i do not know what filter report could be for
wsrded n the case, for all papers explaining
nv action have been seat to you.
To suspend my order would be to destroy my
usefulness here, and in such an event sense OF
what consiier due to me and my position in this
matter, would necsssitate respectful request 10
be relieved from my present command.
Although have been here seventy. days, this is
tle second occasion | have taken on my own re-
sponsibility to make a removal. The arst, one or
two DAYS previous to this, both for grave causes
reported 10 you in detail by telegraph and which
recognize the power Of the general-n- chief to
disapprove my action. l respectfully request
that as | have acted upon full knowledge of
facts the general in chief may desire IN addition
to what has already been furnished him for full
understanding of the case under consideration.
Nv action IN the premises was originally based
on the first supplementary reconstruction act Of
July 10. 1867.
Iavait your reply before issuing the order.
