LOUISIANA.
Gen. sheridan's Report.

New YORK, Jan. ia New Orleans des
patch to the Times of last nights date says
Sheridan's report to the Secretary of War was
transmitted Sunday night. Ile stated that
since 1868 between three and four thousand
men had been murdered in the parishes because
of their political views. In proof of this he
makes detailed statement of the murders in
different districts, recitiug the number of cases
ia which unarmed and defenceless negroes were
shot down in cold blood by white men. These
incidents are introduced for the purpose of
proving that lawlessness exists in Louisiana,
and that the lives of men attached to the Re-
publican party are not safe. The General
charges the White League with being response
BILE for most of the boodshed and crime refer
red to. He denonnces that organization in
strong terms. The report is dispassonately
written. Many of the facts are evidently de-
rived from the reports of the Congressional in
vestigating committee, who have from time to
time visited the state.
The same despatch says: NV
This evening, during a conversation with
Gen. Sheridan in relation to a despatch in
which he calls the citizens Of Louisiana "ban-
ditti," your correspondent asked him it ne did
not think the term harsh one. His reply was
II do not suppose there is a sensible man in
the state who really imagines that meant that
all the people were bandtti. That particular
phrase was used for technical reason, In an
opinion of the Bureau of Justice, on the provis-
ions in the enforcement act for the suppression
of unlawful organizations or combinations, the
terms jay hawker and 'banditti' were employ
ed. The White League was a secret military
organization in contradjc tion of both state and
federal laws. Its members, when they resorted
to overt acts, were liable to the penalties of its
enforcement act. The term jay hawker could
not be used, for the White Leaguers were not
plunderers and robbers" He therefore had no
choice but to use the word contained in the
opinion referred to.
1t has been charged that there was or is a
black league. As yet he had seen no evidence
of it, but if there was such an organization he
would fiud it out, and whether these combina-
tions be white or black they should not be toll
Grated. They were at the bottom of much of
the trouble in this state. They engendered
lawlessness and in his opinion no peaceful con-
dition can be reached as long as they continue,
nor until every species of business and social
ostracism on account of political sentiments is
broken down. In other sections of the country
mans political views did not affect him in
business. This was not true of louisiana, as
many of the best citizens had admitted.
