Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1876-11-15

full Of life, COnverslng with many Of the
passengers, and talking In a seemingly frank
and genial manner. From the style Of his
colloquial intercourse with the passengers,
no one would think that he was one of the
patriotic and impartial men Of the country.
In fact, from his conversation on the train
yesterday. General Sherman might easily be
estimated like unto the gallant Hancock,
whose pure and patriotic heart places him
above the corruptons Of party influence
and beyond the turpitude of Of
fetal vice. In thus speaking, it
is wished, though none dare to hope, that
General Sheridan viii act the true man, and
prove the sincere and conscientious soldier,
He has an opportunity to do this now and it
remains to be seen whether or not he will
comply with the demands of justice and the
popular sentiment of an anxious people, or
again lend himself and prostitute his position
TO the persecution and oppression Of the lest
interests and most cherished rights Of whole
State. This Is the question, and it
IS one of grave Importance to Louis
lana and the people of the Union.
And now you have the substance of General
Sheridan remarks, and the sentiment Of his
opinion Us expressed to-day: In his remarks
General Sheridan said that the object Of his
gong to New Orleans is in the interest of no
party, but simply to assume command Of the
troops and see that there is a maintenance Of
such authority a. is vested in the proper Off
cials who are now in power and have the sll-
pervision of the election and the counting of
the vote of Louisiana In other
words, General Sheridan, as he ex-
pressed it, is Of the opinion
that his mission and the duty before him In
New Orleans is to see that there is fair and
honest count Of the vote, should the military
be necessary to accomplish this. However,
he did not express any apprehension that
there would be necessity for military inter-
ference, but hoped that the count would be
fair and legal Should there be an outbreak
the troops would do all in their power to sup
press it, irrespective Of the interest of the
Republican or Democratic party, but would
act in behalf Of the maintenance Of peace
and the reservation of order.
1t remains to be seen what ali this means,
and if General Sheridan will execute tile true
duty of soldier and commander without
partisan bias He will arrive in New Orleans
tomorrow morning and at once assume COM
mand of the Federal troops. AS the vitality
Of whole nation and the existence of free
republic depend upon the seating of Tilden,
the people of the north will and must sacri-
fee the Republican party with this fraud and
new rascality, Or else lose the government
forever.
