4 Contrast.

The reasons which impelled President
Johnson to send Gen. Sheridan away
from Louisiana in 1867, are those which
induced Gen. Grant to send him there il
1875. He had shown an utter disregard
Of civil authority, trampled the Constitu
ton under foot, and harassed the people
| by every method of torture, until law was
Subverted and the military ruled supreme
The President knew his presence was
hateful to the population, and that il
these eight years Sheridan has longed fol
an opportunity of revenge. Hence be wa,
chosen to carry ont Sindictive policy
which suited the malice of his master anC
at the same time addressed itself to his
personal feelings.
1t never entered the mind of either that
this appointment was positive reflection
on Gen. Mcdowell, the commander of the
department, and ON Gen. Emory, who tor
nearly three years past has personally
commanded all the troops in Louisiana
and executed the orders from Washington
tn the last letter. For what reason have
these. officers been superseded?
Surely, it will not be pretended that
they have failed in any duty, however irk-
some, or refused to cooperate in the
crushingout process cnncncted at
Washington. They even obeyed the At
torney General when the President as
sumed to make him Commander in Chief
OF the army, and to confer upon him func-
tons which are not transferable by the
Constitution.
They perhaps would not .falsify the facts,
pervert the truth'o give cheerful support
to Kellogg aud his usurpation. and hence
they were put under the ban, and disgraced
as lar as the executive action could do ii,
by being thrust aside without a complaint
preferred against them or cause to JUS
tity this gross indignity. lfthey had been
swift witnesses to calumniate whole pea
pie, and had sympathlZed with the scoun-
drels who have stolen the peoples money,
the favor Of the White House would have
been as certain and prudigal as that offered
TO Sheridan for doing the disgracetul
work.
In honorable contrast with the brutality
of Sheridan shines out the memorable or
der No. AZ, issued by Gen. Hancock
when he toHk command OF the Fifth Dis
trict. with his headquarters at New Or
leans, on the 10Th of November, 1867. The
closing words deserve to be written in
letters OF gold,as guide for every military
officer:
's.Solenanlg Impressed acith these vieus,
the henerat announces that the great priin-
ciptes Of American liberty are still the Laac-
FIJI inheritance Of this people. and erer
