In the name Of all the Gods at once
now could Ames have sent dispatch to
Sheridan, representing that disorder pre-
vailed in Vicksburg and life was unsafe :?
Does not everybody know that perfect
quiet prevails? The question of the
Sherifalty has been remitted to the
courts; and even the rascally officials walk
the streets when they list, with no one to
make them afraid.

According to the testimony Of that pure

'Ehc Peoples Protest.

At special meeting of the Board of
Underwriters, held at New Orleans on the
9th inst, it was resolved that they had
read with sorrow and modification the
published insane dispatch of Gen. Sheri-
dan to the Hon. Secretary of War, dated
the 4th inst, and esteem it wanton,
gross, unjustifable wrong and libel upon
the fair fame of every citizen of our
State.

New Orleans, Jan. 5, 1875.
To Hon. ". ". Beiknap, Secretary Of
Var, Washington, d. c.
l think that the terrorism now existing
in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas
could be entirely removed, and confidence
and fair dealing established by the ar
rest and trial Of the ringleaders of the
armed White Leagues.
If Congress would pass a bill declar-
ing them banditti, they could be tried by
military commission.
The leaders of this banditti, who MUIR
dered men here on the 18th of last Sep
temher, and also more recently at Nicks-
burg, Miss, should, in justice to law and
order, and he peace and prosperity of
this Southern part Of the country, be
punished.
1t is possible that if the President
would issue a proclamation declaring
them banGitti, that no further action
need be taken except that which would
devolye upon me.
