THE NEW ORLEANS RIOT This melancholy outbreak was as onesided as the riot at Memphis. It was the result of a conspiracy of the police, the rebel an thorties;' and the miscreant mob of New Orleans to put down by violence, an attempt of the loyal men of the State to remodel the Constitution, so as to extend the right of suffrage to worthy blacks. This was the ob ject of-the State Convention, peacably called, and meeting unarmed, in the Institute build ing in New Orleans July 30. Twenty-six defenceless men meeting to deliberate on a, measure of the highest philanthropy, we on the one side, and the `Mayor, police and mob of New Orleans, and we are compelled to add,. President Johnson, on the other. Account of the N. Y. Times. The members of the Convention who were arrested by order of Mayor Monroe, were re leased by Gen Baird, July 30th. The grand jury has found bills of indictment against twenty-five members of the Convention; .but they would not be tried until the , civil au thorities resume the government of the city. There has been no disorder since martial law was proclaimed. The Yew York Times of last week, contains an account of the riot, whichis at, least not prejudiced in favor of the radicals. It describes the assembling of the Convention and the attempt of the police to get control of the building in which it was meeting. In this they were at first unsuc cessful. Driven down, they had an encounter with a .body of freedmen whom they routed, killing three. Reinforced by a mob of rebels, the police'again, and again assailed the Insti tute. Al' length the ammunition of the men in the'lnstitute seemed give out about this time, as they did not fire any more. They attempted to escape. through the rear of the Institute into Baronne st.;- but were met and either arrested or shot down. They, also tried to escape through, an alley which runs from Drayades to Baronne street, on the Canal street side. Ido not know that anyfreedmen succeeding in getting away from. the building alive, although I saw several at a distance from it being marched to Police Headquartera. 1 thirtle.that every one who tried to escape from it was kaled, and I saw several brought in the alley above Wieittioned, and after theyfell. I saw crowds of rems beating them as they were dying. The policemen; rwhatever theirorders were, behaved. well toward the white pr . isoners, comparatively speaking. A. M., Fish was the first member of the Convention captured, and I tin %tip* to say that althilugh the police could not prevent the crowd from abusing him badly, they_ did keep him from being lynched. A. man mounted a lamp-post` on Canal-street, as Fish was being carried away under guard, and got a rope ready to hang him, but the guard , drove the crowd away with theirstols. She next member arrested was Capt. Baynes, a Texas scout for our army during the war. The crowd had been taught a lesson and did notlinterfere with him, al though they, grumbled deeply as he .passed through, calling them Rebels, traitors and other pet names. Gov. Hahn succeeded in getting into the hands O f the police unhurt, from out of the building where he had been, not as a member, but as one of the most nrominent equal rights men in the State. While he was under guard, however, some coward shot hint through the back of the head, inflicting a dangerous wound, and he icas also stabbed. He was then placed in a hack and carried to Police Headquarters where I Saw him sent into confinement. He was very pale, and 'the blood trickled down his face from a wound which seemed to have reached his left temple. Mr. •Dostie,' who had the reputation of being the most violent,negro-suffrage man in the South, and who certainly Was the most violent speaker on Friday, last, was killed while attempting to get away. lam told that a policeman .shoe him in. the back, And that after he fell a crowd -jumped on hinvand cut him horribly with knives. John Henderson and other members of the Convention were also captured, and were wounded— F lag , ..,stray skits, the local papers say, but 4torelacelyty cowardly rioters—while: on their way to the Station-houses. The riot commenced at 12.15 and ended at 3.30 o'clock. At 2.45 o'clock the military, under Gen. Baird appeared on Canal street, and finally took' possession of the.whole city. Before:,.the riot was confined to Dryades, Baronne; Common, Carondelet and Canal streets, and the buildings and yards all around the Institute. I saw freedmen shot dead on all of, ;above streets except Canal, who could have -..been arrested uninjnred. How mand men havebeenkaled, wounded, or even, arrested, it is impossible to say, but my estimate is one hundred freedmen and twenty five whites killed and wounded and one hundred altogether ar rested. The substantial men of this city deplore the occurrence, but all are very violent in their ex pressicms, some glorying in the murder. of Dostie and others in the murder of freedmen. The, President's Teiegranas , . .• The following telegrams throw light on the relation of the President to the trasaetion. WAR DEPARTMENT, July - 2,11866. To His Excellency Gov. WELLS. 1 have been advised that you have issued a proclamation convening the Convention elected 1864. Please inform me under and by what au thority that has been done, and by what authority this Convention can assume to rep resent the whole people or the State of Louisiana. ANDREW JOHNSON.. The Governor's reply is as follows : STATE OF LA.,REEO. DEP., NEW ORLEANS, July 28, 1866. To His Excellency, ANDREW JOHNSON, President of the United ‘States. Your telegram is received. I have not issued any older convening the Convention of 1864. The Convention was reconvened by the presi dent cif:lbat body, by virtue of a resolution authorizing • him to do so, and in that event for him to call on the proper officers of the State to issue , writs of election tor, delegates in unrepresented Parishes. My proclamation was issued in response to that call. As soon as vacanies can 'be ascertained, they will be filled, and then the whole State will be rep resented in the Convention. J. MADISON Wiu,i.s, Governor. Subsguently the President saw'fit'to over , the Government and to call on the At, torney-Gelieral, - late the rebel G-en. Heron, to take measures for preserving the peace. Hero n, New York Gerald says. : The President has virtuctlly deposed Gov. Wells, by directing the Ron. Andrew J. Herron, Attorney-Gen eral if Louieiena, 'to preserve the peace and *take lhnecessary,steps to put down all revo lutionary pr iceedings against the existing State government, and ordering the military forces of the United States. to render him all needed assiNtsuce. Gen. Baird and Mayor Monroe. GeAY-Baird telegraphed to Gen. Howard, July 31: " The riot has been suppressed. I have' declared martial law in the city. . About 40 persons have been killed and a large .nuin- ber wounded," nearly all being frendly to tfu convention." Mayor Monroe seenis to dislike Gen. Baird'b interference as much as be did Gen. But ler's in 1862, lie has addressed a late/ to Gail. Baird, ba3r jag tk"" without at tempting to dist:fate his (Baird's) military law order, he (Monroe) cannot but express his astonishment at such a step, and at a time when no exigencies existed for it. The aid of the military, says Mayor Monroe, would have been most gladly received to re press violence when such intervention was asked ; but I am at a loss to understand by what authority it is made to 'assume the virtual suppression of the civil authority. We have always been taught to believe that it is the principal duty of military officers in this country to sustain and enforce the civil law. If lam to understand from the words of your order that it is your desire toprevent a recurrence of the riotous and .unlawful ceedings of Monday, I would respecttully suggest that your release of all the riotera and their accessories who where arrested- by the police, as the first actin your admihistra . ton of martial law, is not well calculated to accomplish that 'object. Mayor Monroe con cludes his letter by declining to act as Mayor until the civil authority, is restored. The bitterness against the Constitution grows out of the.. fact that' it ,perntits the Legislature to make pecuniary possesaion; service in the United States army,, or, super-,. for mental acquirements 'on the ;part of the' I negro, a reason. for receiving franchisement. This affair in New Orleans is but the begin ning of the end. Martial law was withdraivn August 2d. Several member of the Convention have been indicted by the Grand Jury: Judge Abel has charged the Grand'Jhry to'indict all per sons engaged in the riot. h . Several arrests have ,alreadi been made, and'all the prisoners released by the,military will be re-arrested. The military commission' to investigate the riot. has .been in session ,to-day, and taking the testimony Of Policemen.
