Sheridan and Gen. Grant were due the defeat of one of the most sean- dolons attempts at public robbery that ever disgraced even State Government in Loutsl- ana. It will be remembered that bis Aceldency Andrew Johnson appointed Lrovistennl Governors for the, conquered Rebel States, who practleally reestablished the Rebel State Governments 1g thoy existed during the War. Congress at Inst provided for dividiig those conquered Rebel States inte five military dls- triets for purposes of reorganization on a freedom basis, and one of these dis- tricts was composed of Louisiana ant ‘Texas, . The military commander was by law invested with power to remove and appoint all persons perform- ing civil duties, ‘The Presldent had the power to appoint and remove the military conmmiunder of any district, Gen. Sheridan was appointed to command that district of Louisiana and Texas, The Confederate Leg- istature of Loitstana had yoted an issue of State bonds to the amount of $7,000,000 for alleged levee purposes. "Thu lnw, however, linited the sale to not less than $0. cents on the dollar. But the honds could not be sold for more than 40 cents. ‘The Confederate Governor and the Commissioners found that they could borrow 33 cents on the dollar by putting up the bonds as collateral! Gen, Sherldan, to prevent this evasion of the law aud sacrifice of the bonds, removed the cor- rupt Governor and the corrupt Connaission- ers and appolnted other mut more honest. persons in thelr place, ‘This proper pro- ceeding produced the greatest cousterns- tion among the thieves and conspirators, and Andy Johnson was appealed to by them.

The flattery of Andy Jolingon and the In- fluence of the two Demoeratic lawyers who had a feo of a quarter of aauilfion of dollars dependent upon hts action In New Orleans, ant who crammed him with the clap-trap phrases of Order No. 40, evidently were too much for aman whose vanity was alrenly “superb.” Somebody had given him one vote in the Democratic Convention of 1804, and forever after he lind tha Presidential beo in bis bonnet, Gen. Grant's course towards Hancock had always been. kind and generous, It was on Qran’s nomination that ha was made Briga- dier iu the regular anny, and subsequently Major-General; but Gen, Grant is forced to the conctuston that “Ile Is crazy to be Preel- dent He ts ambitious, vatn, wenk.’? Gen, Grant’s disclosure of the “Inner his tory” of Order No, 40 reduces that doen- ment to the mere level of a spurtons enrd played tu a dasporate game, where the money atstake was connted by millions, and the purpose to rob the public. Mancock played his disreputable enrd boldly and promptly, and that ft did not win to the great profit of tho conspirntors was due not to any failure on hts part, but to the fact that the fraud was known to Gun.
