Sheridan's Act Denounced.
WAsHINaToN, January 9Th. 1T now
transpires that the Cabinet, at their
meeting yesterday, was far from unan-
imous in their declarations regarding
the extraordinary acts of Gen. Sheri-
dan in New Orleans. The fair-minded
Republicans here consider the inter-
vention in the Louisiana Legislature
uncalled for and improper.
: VIM. Walter Phelps, member of the
Congressional Committee at Mobile,
telegraphs that the military interfer-
ence is illegal. He considers the
House. as organized by the Conserva-
tives, illegal, not being organized in
accordance with the statute, and as
serts that no greater Insecurity of life
and property now exists in Louisiana
than before the war. Both sides want
peace, he says, and desire the commit
tee to act as arbitrator. The White
Leagueis is found by evidence before the
committee to be neither political nor
secret, but composed of good citizens.
The league holds open meetings, and
is merely sort of superior police.
