! DAN Is A bIAR.
/ New ORLEANS, January 6.--At 3 spe-
cial meeting Of the board of underWrit-
ers, held to-day, the following report OF
the committee appointed al a previous
meeting was unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That this board has read
with feeling Of the deepest SORROW aud
modification the published insane dis
patch Of General p. II. Sheridan to the
honorable secretary Of war, under date
OF the fourth instant, which we esteem q
wAnton, gross and untustifiable wrong
and libel on the fair fame OF every citi.
zen Of our State and city. This board
mas been established for purely CONNER
cisl purposes. No political question has
ever been discussed or proposed, but In
view OF this criminal outrage upon the
pest interests of our city by stranger In
temporal power, Ii not only warrants
but demands ffOm US this expression of
our unqualified denial Of those vile as
persions upon our citizens. We give our
assuTapce to our brother underwriters at
the north aud west that we claim To be
true and loyal citizens Of the United |
States, and as such we are q law-loyiup /
and a law-abiding people, and that life |
and property are as safe with US |
az with them, for the truth OF which we |
confidently appeal to the NOBLE army OF |
n night Templars from every State In the !
Union, who recently visited our city; |
tnat we cannot but express cur surprise !
Lnst any one occupying the position of |
TenerAl Sheridan should persume to such |
OF his important facts upon |
such brief opportunities as be possibly |
could nave during the short time he has |
been In the south, and the only excuse |
We ma FOR such utterance as comes TO us /
TINS morning from New York; that this
dispatch was written in Washington be-
iore ne left his northern command; that
We earnestly appeal TO the north; to |
the congress Of the United States, to
their love Of liberty and justice, to afford
that protection from this present yio-
lence, and from the wrong and outrage
which may follow, and which, as fel-
loW-citlzens of. this great country we
have right to demand; that we cOrdi-
ally indorse the manly and patriotic ex-
presslons OK the cotton exchange at their
last meeting.
THOMAS \. ADAMS, President.

COLUMBUS, January 6.-In the house.
to-day, resolution was offered and laid L
On the table, declaring that the inter-
terence Of the military forces, under the
OF United States officers, with
the assembly OF Louisiana, wasuucalIed

,ault upon the reserved rights Of the
5 ates, and calling on President Grant

he state ia pOwerless to govern itself

THE Chicago Times does not allow the
Federal outrage in Louisiana TO pass
without words OF appropriate comment
aud condemnation. 1t refers to Gene
rsl EnOry's indignant denial Of the use
% federal soldiers for party purposes,
ano ssys 1t was shown by Sheridan on
Monday "gith what IN lushing effTont-
cry Fr,ieral bayOnets can be employed
by the pr. wers that be to uphold politi-
ca nrganil, alton and set Of political
harlors that have no equals in point Of
dsbasa aneut ia the history OF either an-
cieltsr modern nations. The soldiers,
~ a political sgsncy, are an uudouhted
SUCCESS. for the people will not resist
them, knowing that resistance would be,

Slate sin not slways submit to being
thus oppressed. LiEe the worm trodden

EST A BLISHED 1910.
nnnnns sH.RInAN.

Ol the memorable day when the i'm
mortal ragged veterans Of Lee, foot sore
and weary, sick at heart but still firm
Of purpose, were brought to bay by the
pressing and victorious legions OF Grant,
Gordon, OF Georgia, who had, 10 the es-
TEEN Of his chief aud the affections of
ais people taken the place Of StoneWah
Jack. on, confronted Sheridan, then re-
Gently called to take the place
which Of right belonged TO
Stouemau In the Federal army.
Though flushed with victory and ele-
waited by the laudstiOns Of press that
can never Isui him more, Sheridan
had only a few hours before felt and
acknowledged the power Of the war
worn corps OF Gordon IL the loss Of
many soldiers aud eight pieces Of artil-
lery, 50 that he felt little
sore, and readily avalled himself
uf the cessation Of hOstilities,
70 send an aid to the Confederate camp
10 d. dsrnand Gordon's surrender as PAM
aces 70 his wounded pride. But the lat
ter, still intent upon the work commit
Ted to him by Lee Infused, and yshsns
Sheridan himself appeared upoh the
sceoe, again refused, determined that If
surrender he must, 1t would not
be to the man he had just defeated, and
so he surrendered with Lee to Grant.
Nine years have passed away, taking
with them the marks OF military Op.
~, ssion In the south, of robbery and
ou. cage, IN Irder, arson and th=ft, coun- 4!
teuau,,sd aud endorsed oy Grant and a |
corrupt SODgress; nine years Of trial
aud trouble have come and gone
bringing strange changes, none OF them
ali perhaps more wonderful than that
which made Gordon a United States
senator, houoTed for his moderation and
great atiliy, an ability never
N pre conspicuous than yesterday, when |
he spJke SO feelingly, 80 elcquentiy |
and ~ pathotically for the peO-
pie whom on bloody fields he de-
feuded with bravery unsur-
pas d, while sheridsn, branded liar
q "a tIadueiug villain by the yenefable
Or .lates OF two great churches, by the
rev -Tsnd clergy Of every creed
sni faith, by the merchants, the
ba ~ ers, the underwriters, and all
cl .-ses o. tie people Of New Ortans
cJwers before an outraged country
ami SINKS into nothingness, all his
honors eclipsed by the infamy
OF an hour. Comfort him IS they
may vita their support; bolster
hiu rs they may try 10 sustain him by
cheap words; as they may choose,
neituer Grant nor has cabinet can re-
lieve Sheridan OF the mark put
upon him 10y saint and sinner alike.
They IA y share his iufSmy, but they
can neither lessen nor blot it out. The
scouudrel is pilloried for ali time. He
has his place in history. New Or
leans has been SIS fatal to
him as TO Beast Butler, the spOon-thief.
Hereafter he will be known as Super
seIvicable Liar, Sheridan, TO be con.
tiuued in the army only until
D mocrstic congress shall order
him before a committee presided over by
Senator Gordon to whom he shall sur
render his commission as disgraced
soldier win the ineff ,ceable brand of
'liar" burned 20 his very heart.

and sale were officers of the State now.
Mr.. East agreed that 1t was desirous
to know the whole truth of the affair, and
TO ascertain who was guilty.
Mr. CGmmins opposed The inyestiga-
ton because the legislature was not q
grand jury to search for the black spot in
the character of any private citizen.
Mr. East wanted to know why the
gentleman opposed the investigation?
Mr. Gardenhire White couHty), fav-
ored an investigation. He said tue cor
ruption and bribery of officials was sap
ping the c0untry's foundation, and the
people had right to know the truth or
the falsity ofthe charge.
The motion OF Mr.. Cummins to strike
outthewords sand others, +" as indicating
the parties charged, failed to pass. Mr..
East said the present incumbent, Col
Onel Burch, was his constituent, and
wanted the matter fully investigated
The house resolution was finally adopt
ed by making it joint, substituting five
for three committee Messrs. Cole,
Finley and Orr voted against the reso-
luton. Mr.. Msfhes was excused from
voting on the resolution relative to the
Federal interference in Louisiana, which
was adopted. Messrs, Cross, Carson,
Hurt, Taylor and roon voting against
it, and Messrs. Books, Burnard and
Gibson being excused. Messrs. Brooks,
Carson, Burnard, Taylor and Gibson
are Radicals. Their plea of opposition
is the unreliability Of newspaper reports
and the absence of official information
respecting the Interference. This is
also the excuse of Gross, Hurt,
and Toon, the only Democrats opposing
the resolution.
There 10 an effort of Mr.. Burch's foes
to postpone the investigation of the
comptrollership SO as to prejudice his
chances for reelection. He and his
friends wish prompt investigation, and
were such made his reelection would
follow.
There is nothing new regarding the
senatorial question, and no time fixed
for commencing the election. There is
strong disposition to hurry up the
ccmptroller's election.
Governor Brown will send in his mes
sage tomorrow accompanied by the
state officers reports.

ated by the legislature. This subject has

suitable buildings and adequate grounds.

offer is the Confederate orphan asylum
building, which is now occupied as q
privat- residence, out is large and well
adapted to the purposes Of a normal
school.
