Excerpt from Self-Government in Louisiana
In other words, General Sheridan is denounced not only as unfit to breathe the air of a republican government, but as having committed an act of such moral turpitude, such gross outrage, that he ought at once to be dismissed from the service of the United States as Lieu tenant-general of the Army. So my honorable friend in the heat of the excitement of this debate has arraigned the President of the United States in language scarcely less severe. He says: There is not in that State one case of abuse of power, of peculation, robbery, and filthy dishonesty, with which the history of its government is filled in the last two years, in which his displeasure has ever been signified by the removal of an Improper official, not one word of rebuke.
