"Gen Sheridan was sent to the Department of Louisiana, covering Louisiana and Texas. He is very shrewd and very able. If he is in charge

any field, an 1

there is anything he ought to know in that field, he is sure to know ii. He is as able and vigilant an officer us the country has, or as any country has. lit kept his eyes open, learning rapidly the men who were not worthy to occupy itaeir places, and discovering competent and worty men to put in their places. He had a good list and a black list, a list of unworthy officers, ready to change them in an boor when the lime should come. He consulted with me pri vaiely about it, and did nothins rashlv. "The Legislature of Louisiana passed a law authorizing the issue of $7,000,000 of levee bonds, ostensibly for the levee. They conditioned their sale on their bringing to the State not less than 80 per cent, of their face. The Governor and three Commissioners were to place the bonds on the market. But they soon found that the bonds would not bring more than 40 per cent. To avoid the law they invented the plan of borrowing money and usinir the bonds as collateral They could borrow about iW or per cent, ot the f»ce of the bonds. Justht this juncture, to prevent thew men from deirauding the .State, Gen. Sheridan took off the heads of the Governor and Commitsioiurr.v so quick thai they did not know what ailed them, »nd appointed good men iti their places. "For some reason the removed men were very anxious to be reappointed. They employed Keverdy Joim.-on and an other lawver to work for them, agreeing to pay them *-.£0.000 if they were reinforced. This isii gr«tat deal of money for four men to pay for posit i«»iiH. unless there is some ^|H ctal gain in tne ase. lievurdy Johnson came to me, but was so stupid and stubborn that I could not be induced to reappoint them. He then went to Andrew Johnson and made his case and An-irew Johnson sent for me, and asked me to reinstate those men. I refused to do so. He said. 'Reinstate them even if it only foe one day. will promise that they will resign." 'T thought .Johnson might not know of the motive why they were so anxious to be reinstated, and thinking I would do him a ureal service in keeping him from a grave blunder, I told him that 'one hour would do those men as we.ll is one day,' and 1 unfolded their intent. Jtut Johnson insisted on their lii ing rein*ratcd. I refused, and excused myself. "Johmon then removed Gen. Sheridan and appointed «cn. Hancock. He called Hancock to Washington to instinct in defeating the Inns of Congress concerning reconstruction. As soon us I learned that Hancock was in town, 1 called at. his hotel instead of sending for him. I wflnt«?d to see bim privately in his own room. I touod him in his room, perhaps before he had his breakfast. I said, General, you and I are soldiers: army officers. We have life positions wu serve under suecesi ive administrations without regard to party. It it* our duty to enforce the- laws of Congress. We are not responsible for the wisdom of the laws. Congress bears that responsibility we simply enforce them." He said, 'Well. I am opposed to niggor domination.' I said, "General, it is not a questiou of nigger domination. Pour million of ex slaves, without education or property can hardly dominate 80,000,000 of whites with all the education and property. It is a question of doing our sworn duty?" He said,'Well Fm opposed to nigger domination." I saw that my only chance to influence him was by tho remnant of authority left in my hands. He was determined to please the Democratic party and the South. "tie went South and removed the Governor and Commissioners that Gen. Sheridan had appointed. I instantly tele graphed him not to appoint to office any [men who had been removed, and to give me his reasons by mail for removing the men. He telegraphed in along reply costing the Government $350, his reasons. I telegraphed hlrrr that the reasons were not & sufficient to send me by mail other «asons. He again telegraphed about the «une points, only not quite so Ion#, costhg only $150. lie telegraphed that if he totild not have freedom to act. his useful 686 would be destroyed, and that he vould have to ask to be relieved. 1 telefrapliod him to revoke his order. He iskcd Johnson to relieve him. as no one «rise could. That is the inner history and i9irit of his celebrated Order No. 40. "This ostler resulted in the loss of many lives, .' know of cases.

October 5.—Conduc

George Whittaker, a freight employe ou the Wabash Railway, lies at his home in this city in a dangerous condition, suffering from a pistol ball fired by a tramp on his train.

Whittaker left Lafayette yesterday noon, going east. At Lagansport a hot box was discovered, and from there to Waverlv the train made slow progress. Near the latter point the rear brakeman, in going over his train saw two men standing on the platform between the ears. He called his companion and they told the men they mubt get off. They replied they would not. Whittakec fijame along about this time and ordered the men togetnp on top the car,and then got off. At firse they refused, but finally crawled up. One of them got down to the ground, but the other reluctant. He finally began to get down, followed by Mr. Barnett, a brakeman. As the tramp reached the ground he drew a revolver and raised the hammer. Barnett saw him and tried to kick the weapon out of his hand. Failing in this Barnetfc tried to get on top of the car. The fellow fired at him, the ball striking his right arm passing through the flesny part between the elbow and wrist. Harnett got on ton as soon a possible, but not until the fellow had fired two or more shots. The train had stopped by this time, and Whittaker graobed the tramp who fired, and, with the assistance of the remaining brakeman, disarmed him. The handled, whipped out a revolver and fired ar Whittaker, the ball (a No. 32 caliber) striking him on the upper lip, just beneath the nose, knocking out two teeth, wounded his tongue, and finally lodged down in the left side of his neck, just to the left of the throat. Whittaker tired the two shots still in the revolver at the fleeing culprit, but missed him. Dr. Vinnedge, of this city, pronounces Whittaker's injuries yery dangerous, though he thinks not necessarily fatal.
