ALEX ANDRIA.
SATURDAY, JUNE "a, 1875.

Aud 80 it seems that the man who 'alnt
afraid" the redoubtable 'banditti'' Sheridan,
the "galla1t Phil" who was sustained by "all
of US waen he charged the deteuceless Loulsl-
ana Legislature as piuckily as be did the Piegan
souaws aud children, is to try his hand at carry
ios some of the southern States for the radicals
in the presidential election. The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun of this
morning says
1.-The recent order issued from the War De-
partmeut dscoutinuug the military division
South has far deeper significance than appears
on its face 1t is understood TO DC 40 Initiation
of plan designed to secure the electoral votes
of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana aud Mlsss
sippi for the republican candidates. These
four States viii DOW be uoder the direct mill
tary control of Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan, who can
be depended upon to carry out any deslgos COD
ceived at this point. The recent interview OF
Louisiana radical politicians with the President
was 10 connection with this plot. Such OF the
marsbals and district attorneys in the States
named who cannot be depended upon to carry
out their share Of the undertaking will be re-
moved, their places supplied by more plant
tools, the Secretary of War will stretch his
powers to the utmost verge, aud troops will be
posted where they can do the most good.
Now in the account Of the fight between the
United States troops aud the Sioux Indians,
on Rosebud Greek, Montana, last week, the
following sentence occurs:
The fight took place fifty miles from the
wagon and pack train, anu owing to the want
OF rations and that the wounded might be cared
for, it was necessary to return thlther,
Which, an old soldier tells US, implies that
the troops were whipped, for, as the engage
ment occurred on the morning after they
started, they had three days rations LETT, and
an army, after victoriou, engagement, so

wanted, while the iolting ride Of fifty miles,
probably without water, doubtless killed half
of them. How much better would it have
been, therefore, for General Sheridan, with
his superior military requirements" and tor
the defeated troops, had he commanded them
on the occasion referred to; aud how much
better will it be for him and for the treasury
OF the country, if, instead ofessaying the impos'
slbe task of making radical out Of southern
States, be will, this summer and fall, take the
troops stationed in those states, where
they are of 20 service to themselves or any.

by making the Indian country so bare that "a
crow in flying over it will have to carry its
rations.'

REHM AND TIE GOVERNMENT COUNSEL.
The Government counsel in the whisky
prosecutions had the undoubted right to
manage the cases in their own way, subject
to the decision of the responsible officers Of
the Government But, since the public were
the rea1 plaintiffs, they have right to an
opinion Of their own regarding the whole
matter; and if they find that the results fall
short Of both the crinlinality discovered and
the means available for exposing and punish
ing it, there is no rule, either legal or moral,
to prevent them from expressing it in any
way they sse fit.
The case presented to the public is that of
conspiracy formed by politicians controlling
the appointment Of revenue officers to de-
fraud the public treasury, putting into Office
6augers, ,Storekecpers, etc, known to be
corrupt, DR. corrnptible, and then allowing
the dishonest distillers to run crooked, and
forcing the honest ones to do the same OF 20
cut Of the business, and dividing the pro
ceeds in certain way, no matter how. In this
view of the case, REHM wes the principal con-
spirator, and should not have been accepted
as States evidence at all. After the saueal-
ing of the first batch " there Was abundant
evidence to convict him and send him to the
PanitentiarJ, uolesa he should choose to for
