Rejoicing Too Soon
Summary
An article about reconstruction efforts in New Orleans. The "rebel Democratic press" was pleased over the removal of Gen. Sheridan as the head of the 5th Military District. It seemed as if this would be advantageous to "non-deconstructionist" rebels, etc. However a New Orleans paper shows that the new man in charge of that district is moving forward in as Radical a style as Sheridan. The Herald and Torch Light concludes: "We advise the Mail to commence its howling."
