PRESIDENT REGARDED WITH CONCERN IN
THE PRESENT CoNJUNCTURE.
Especial to Cincinnati Enquirer.1
WASHINGTON, j. c.. Dec. 29.-The talk among
prominent officers to-day Is that Gen. Sheridan is
not going to take command OF the Department OF
the Gnlf, was at one time contemplated. The
idea OF sending sheridan to the South originated
with the brilliant intellect OF Grant, who, mad
dened at the refusal OF the South to support him
for third term, IS now ready to pursue the
most malignant and unspairing policy towards
her people III order 70 excuse his hatred.
He il pleased to assume that the South is in
what he calls Il dangerous condition, and that
the military organizations OF the White League
are numerous and preparing for general out
break This stupid calumny being assumed as
6 basis by the Presidential intellect, it follows
that Shcrid, ms missiGn is to inform himself
thoroughly in respect to ali the military organi-
cations in the South, and for the purpose he is
to visit the different Southern States. He lie not
to make any written report, but get the infOrma-
ton FOR use in the new war which the Presidents
fertile imagination is busily creating. In case OF
trouble, Sheridan is to take command.
GEN. SHERMAN NOT TRUSTED.
Gen. Sherman Is not to be trusted he being
notorious skeptic as to the outrage business, and
generally suspected with affiliations with the
Democrats and dis,oyalty to the third term idea
It is said that Grants retainers have got hold OF
several letters of Sherman which 60 far to con-
firm this estimate OF his fealty.
GEN. EMORY NOT REMOVED.
Gen. Emory is not a favorite with the Presi.
dent or the rpet-baggers, but is to be kept
where he is for the present.
THE VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT FREELY EN-
'@ PRESSED.
There is direct authority for stating that
Grants feeling for the South are Of the most
bitter and vindictive character, and are freely
expressed in conversation. Those who are in
a position to know say that, ii he could get
plausible pretext for il, he would shoot down the
people OF Louisiana Ike dogs.
ADVICE OF DEMOCRATS CoNcILIAroEY.
On the other hand, while Grant and the car
pet -baggers are eager for collision, the leading
Democrats in Congress have written letters and
used every influence with the Conservative Of
Louisiana to persuade them to employ only
moral agencies in resisting the unparalleled
wrongs to which they have been subjected.
1t is the unanimous judgment OF the Demo-
Gratis at this point that any attempt at forcibie
resistance by the Louisii mans to the Kellogg
usurna.ion would only rvet their chains, and
possibly prevent the relief which iss certain to
come tor them IN the event Of Democratic tri-
uEph III 1876. The fact is generally recognized
here IN political circles that this triumph can only
be prevented by the Radicals goading the South
evn people to the point Of forcibie resistance.
THE PRESIDENTS HABITS.
The personal habits Of Grant are much COM
mented on, and In addition to his batfied am
bitlon are regarded as accounting for the violent
and extreme course he seems bent upon pur-
suing.
