GENERAL sHERIDAN's STATEMENT.


He expressed ready willingness to supply the
HERALD with any Information in his power, but
said there was positively not word OF news to
give.


When questioned as to his attitude toward the
people he remarked, laughingly that he was not
half SO ferocious as the people supposed; that all
he wanted to acc0mp pltsh the breaking up OF all
secret armed organizations. whether OF white or
black; he thought that order and good government
could never exist here until this was achieved In
Illustration he cited the case of Judge Myers. OF
Rapides parish, who arrived in the city to-day,
via Memphis. This man, although born In the
parish, had to steal or IN the night account OF
the ea2ues in his section. and a short time ago
was unable to visit his sick father at another
end OF the town from dread inspired by the
same cause. When asked to the nature OF
the proceedings he intended adopting toward
the White League the General replied-"I
don't mean any harm to them or anybody in
case they Will disoand. The object OF all my de-
spatches has been solely directed toward breaking
them up. 1t appeared to me tnat nobody IN the
country dared to tell the plain truth about
them. Newspapers dared not do SO in fear
OF losing their patronage nor people on account
OF losing their business. No one could do this
under the circumstances, as well as myself, aud

been working In their own interests, ana believe
they will yet acknowledge this. The great trouble
in this country has been the feeling OF insecurity
