THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE
At length the suppressed despatches from
Gen. Sheridan in regard to the New Orleans
massacre have been made public, and their
nature well explains why the advocatei of
immediate reconstruction e masculate and
mangle them before publication, or throw
them under the table as quite unmanageable.
The principal despatch is about the worst
version of the story that has yet appeared.
Note the italicized portions.
OFFICE OF U. S. MILITARY TELEGRAPH.
The following cipher telegram was received
4'30 A. M., August 6, 1866, from New Or
leans, La., August 6, 12 M., 1866:
His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States:
I have the honor to make the following
reply to your despatch of August 4 :
A very large number of the colored people
marched in procession on Friday night, July
27, and were addressed from the steps of the
City Hall by Dr. Dostie, Ex-Governor Hahn
and others. The speech of Dostie was in
temperate in language and sentiments. The
speeches of the others, so far as I can learn,
were characterized by moderation. I have
not given you the words of Dostie's speech,
as the version published was denied but
from what I have learned of the man I be
lieve they were intemperate.
The convention assembled at 12 M., on the
30th, the timid members absenting them
selves because the tone of thegeneral public
was ominous of trouble. I think there were
but about twenty-six members present. In
front of the Mechanics' Institute, where the
meeting was held, there were assembled some
colored men, women and children, perhaps
eighteen or twenty, and in the institute a
number of colored men, probably 150.
Among those outside and inside there
might have been a pistol in the possession of
every tenth man. About 1 P. M. altroces
sion of say from sixty to one hundred and
and thirty colored men marched up Burgun
dy street and across Canal street, toward the
convention►carrying the American flag. These
men had about one pistol 'to every ten men,
and canes and clubs in addition. While
crossing Canal street a row occurred. There
were many spectators on the -streets, and
their manner and tone toward the procession
was unfriendly.
A shot was fired, by whom I am not able
to state, but believe it to have been by a police
man at some colored man in the procession.
This led to other shots and a rush after the
procession. On arrival at the front of the
institute, there was some throwing of brick-
Oats by both sides. The police, who had
been held well in hand, were vigorously
marched to the scene of disorder. The pro
cession entered the institute with the flag,
about six or eight remaining outside.
A row occurred between a policeman and
one of the colored men, and a shot was fired
by one of the parties, which led to an indis
criminate fire on the building through the
windows by the policemen. This had been
going on for a short time when a white flag
was displayed from the windows of the insti
tute, whereupon the firing ceased and the
policemen rushed into the building.
From the testimony of the wounded men
and others who were inside the building, the
policemen opened an indiscriminate fire upon
the audience until they had emptied their re
volvers, when they retired, and those inside
barricaded the doors. The doors were bro
ken in and the firing again commenced, when
many of the colored and white people either
escaped through the doors, or were passed
out by the policemen inside.
But as they Came out the policemen who
formed the circle nearest the building fired
upon them, and they were again fired upon
by the citizens who formed the outer circle.
Many of those wounded and taken prisoners
and others who were prisoners and not wound
ed, were fired upon by their captors and by
citizens. The wounded were stabbed while
lying on the ground, and their heads beaten
with brickbats, in the yard of the building,
whither some of the colored men escaped and
partially secreted themselves. They were
fired upon and killed or wounded by police
men.
Some men were killed and wounded several
squares From the scene. _Members of the con.
vention were wounded by the policemen while
in their hands as prisoners, some of them
mortally. The immediate cause of this
terrible affair was the assemblage of this
convention. The remote cause was the bitter
and antagonistic feeling which has been
growing in this community since the advent
of the present _Mayor, who, in the organization
of , hipolice force, selected many desperate
men, and some of them known murderers.
People of New Orleans were overawed by.
want of confidence in the MayOr and the fear
of the thugs, many of whom he had selected
for. his police force. I have frequently been
spoken to by prominent citizens on this sub
ject,, and have heard, them express fear, and
want of confidence in Mayor Monroe, ever
since the intimation of this last convention
movement. I must condemn the course of
several of the city papers for supporting, by
their articles, the bitter feeling of bad men.
As to the merciless manner in which the
convention was broken up, I feel obliged to
confess' strong repugnance. It is useless to
attempt to disguise the hostility that exists
on the part of a great many here toward.
Northern men ; and this unfortunate affair
has so precipitated matters that there is now
a test of what shall be the status of Northern
men ; whether they can live here without
being in constant dread, or Whether they can
be protected in life and property and have
justice in the courts. If this matter is per
mitted to pass over without a thorough. and
determined prosecution of those engaged in
itowe may look out for frequent scenes of the
same kind.
NO, steps: have as yet been taken, by the civil
authorities - to arrest citizens who were engaged
in this massacre or policemen who perpetrated
such cruelties. The members of the convention
have been indicted by the Grand Jury, and
many of them arrested and : held to bail. As
to whether the civil authorities can mete out
ample justice to the guilty parties, both
sides, I,must say it opinion 'unequivo
cally that they cannot.
Judge .Abelovhose course I have watched
for nearly a . year, I now consider one of the
mat - dangeroui that we have here to the
peace and quiet of the city. The leading
men of the convention, King Cutler, Hahn
and others, have be'en political agitators and
are bad men. I regret to say that the course
of Governor Wells has been vascillating, and
that during the late trouble he has shown
very little of the man.

Major-General Commanding.
Telegrams to Gen. Grant
The following telegram was received 515
P. N., August Ist, from New Orleans, Aug.
let, 1866:
•
U. S. Grant:
- - _
GENERAL: You are doubtless aware of the
serious riot which occurred in this city on the
30th. A political body, styling itself the
Convention of 1864, met on the 30th, for, as
it is alleged, the
. purpose of remodelling the
present constitution of the State. The leaders
were political agitatorS and revolutionary
men, and the action -ot the convention was
liable to produce breaches of the public peace.
1 had made up my mind to arrest the head
men if the proceedings of the convention
were calculated to disturb the tranquility of
the department, but I had no cause for action
until they committed the overt act. In the
meantime, official duties called me to Texas,
and the Mayor of the city, during my absence,
suppressed the convention by the use of the
police force, and in so doing attacked the
members of the convention and a party of
two hundred Negroes with firearms, clubs,
and knives, in a manner so unnecessary and
atrocious as to compel me to say that it was
murder. About forty whites and blacks were
thus killed, and about one hundred wounded.
Everything is now quiet, but I deem it best
to maintain a military supremacy for a few
days, until the affair is fully investigated.
I believe the sentiment of the general com
munity is great regret at this unnecessary
cruelty, and that the police could have made
any arrest they saw fit without sacrificing
lives. P. H. SHERIDAN,
Major-General Commanding.
The following telegram was received 6 P.
M., August 2, 1866, from New Orleans, La.,
August 2, 1866
U. S. Grant, General, Washington, D. C.:
The more information I obtain of the affair
of the 30th, in this city, the more revolting
it becomes. It was not riot; it was an abso
lute massacre by the police, which was not
excelled in murderous cruelty by that of Fort
Pillow. It was a murder which the Mayor
and police of the city perpetrated without the
shadow of a necessity. Furthermore, I be
lieve it was premeditated, and every indica
tion
. points to
.this. I recommend the re
moving of this bad man. I believe it would
be hailed with the sincerest gratification by
two-thirds of the population of the city.
There has been a feeling of insecurity on the
part of the people here, on account of this
man, which is: now so much increased, that
the safety of life and
,property does not rest
with the civil authorities, but with the mill
-thou,
P. H. SHERIDAN
<
Major-General Commanding
[Cipher].—The following telegram, was
received 10 P. M., August 30, 1866
U. S. Grant, General, 'Washington:
I have the honor to report quiet in the city,
but considerable excitement in the public
mind. There is no interference on the part
of the military with. the civil government,
which performs all its duties without hin
drance. I have permitted the retention of
the Military Governor, appointed during my
absence '
as it gives confidence and enables the
military to know what is occurring in the city.
'He does not intertere with civil matters. Un
less good judgment is exercised, there will be
an exodus of Northern capital and Union
men, which will be injurious to the city and
to the whole country. I will remove the
Military Governor in a, day or two. I again
strongly advise that some disposition be made
to change the present Mayor, as I believe it
would do more to restore confidence than
anything that could be done. If the present
Governor could:be changed also, it would not
be amiss. P. H. SHERMAN,
Major-General Commanding.
Telegram from General Grant
WASEEDIGTONi D. C. Aug. 3, 1866.
Major-General ,Sleridan,!Nezo Orleans, La.:
Continue to enforce martial law as far as
may be necessary to preserve the peace, and
do not allow any of the civil authorities to act
if you deem such action dangerous to the
public safety. Lose no time in investigating
and reporting the causes that led to the riot
and the facts which occurred.

Telegrams from the President.
WASHINGTON, D. C. - . - July2Bi 186 G,"
To Albert Vorhies. Lieut. Gov. of Louisiana,
Near Orleans:
The military will be expected to sustain,
and not to obstruct or interfere with the pro.
ceedings of the court. A despatch on the
subject of the convention was sent to Gov.
Wells this morning. ANDREW JORNSON.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28. 1866.
To his Excellency, Gov. Wells, New Orleans,
Louisiana: •
I have been advised that you have issued
a proclamation convening the convention
elected in 1864. Please inform me under and
by what authority this has been done, and by
what authority this convention can assume to
represent the whole people of the State of
Louisiana. ANDREW JOHNSON.
WASHINGTON, July 30, 1866.
To Andrew J. Herron, Adjutant General of
Louisiana, New Orleans:
You will call on General Sheridan or who
ever may be in command fbr sufficient force
to sustain the civil authority in suppressing
all illegal or unlawful assemblies, who usurp
or assume to exercise any power or authority
without first having obtained the consent of
the people of the State. If there is to be a
convention let it be composed of delegates
chosen fresh from the people of the *hole
State. The people must be first consulted in
reference to changing the organic law of the
State. Usurpation will not be tolerated. The
law and the constitution must be sustained,
and thereby peace and. order.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
The President also telegraphed theSollow
ing leading questions to General Sheridan, to
-which the first of this series of despatches
was, we opine, a very unsatisfactory reply :
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4, 1866.
To Major-General Sheridan, Commanding
eta, New Orleans, La :
We have been advised here that prior to the
assembling of the illegal and extinct conven
tion elected in 1864, inflammatory and insur
rectionary speeches were made to a mob com
posed of white and colored persons, urging
upon them to arm and equip themselves for
the purpose of protecting and sustaining the
convention in its illegal and unauthorized
proceedings, intended and calculated to up
turn and supercede the existing State govern
ment of Louisiana, which had been recognized
Fthe Government of the United States.
rthermore, did the mob assemble and was
it armed for the purpose of sustaining, the .
convention in its usurpation and revolutionary
proceedings? Have' any arms been taken
from persons since the 30th ult., who were
supposed or known to be connected with this
mob ? Have not various individuals been
assasinated and shot by persons connected
with this mob, without good cause, and in
violation of the public peace and good order?
Was not the assembling of this convention
and the gathering of the mob for its defence
and protection the main cause of the riotous
and unlawful proceedings of the civil authori
ties of New Orleans? Have steps been taken
by the civil authorities to arrest and try any
and all those who were engaged in this riot,
and those who have committed offences in
violation of law? Can ample justice be meted
by the civil authorities to all offenders against
the law? Will General Sheridan please fur
nish me a brief reply to the above inquiries,
with such other information as he may be in
possession of? Please answer by telegraph
at your earliest convenience.
ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of the United States.
Massachusetts.—The keeper of a New
Bedford billiard-saloon has been arrested for
refusing to allow a colored person to play on
his tables.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY AUGUST 30, 1866.
Pennsylvania.—Charles Hyde, of Titus
ville, the well-known and successful oil
prince, returned an income last year of
$216,971.
New Hampshire.—August 23, the ther
mometer at; Mount Washington stood at
28 degrees. One of the telegraph lines had
been broken down by the ice which had col
lected upon it.
Lonisiana.—Neto Orleans.—A general
order was issued August 23 by General Sheri
dan, revoking thegeneral order, No. 60,
issued by General Baird, declaring martial
law and appointing a military governor. It
continues in force General Sheridan's gene
ral order - No. 15, declaring martial law to
exist for the preservation of the public peace
and of life and property, which was the sta
tus existing previous to the riot.
Texas.—The Legislature of Texas has cho
sen Hon. David G. Burnett 11. S. Senator.
Loyal Southern Convention.—This con
vention, to meet in this city next Monday, is
receiving many hearty and enthusiastic tokens
of welcome in advance. The Union League
of our city held its first meeting since the
treason of Andrew Johnson, on Wednesday
evening of last week, and announced its ad
herence in powerful language to the policy it
had upheld during the war, extended' a special
welcome to its Southern delegates. The
Pennsylvania State Union Committee has
called upon all loyal Pennsylvanians to join
in giving them a distinguished ,reception.
Gov. Curtin on Thursday last issued a circu
lar invitation to the Representatives in Con
gress from Pennsylvania, inviting such of
them as can respond to the call of the South
ern loyalists for a convention in Philadelphia
on the3d. ,of September, to be present and .
participate in the deliberations of those pa
triots. It is the earnest desire of his Excel
lency to have Pennsylvania represented in
that body, and it is expected that he will ap
point Senatorial delegates.
The Last Surrender.—The following ra
ther amusing incident shows that the Presi
dent's peace proclamation was a leetle ahead
of time. Late last week four confederate
soldiers entered Petersburg, Va., with their
muskets and aceourtrements, stacked arms
in front of head-quarters, sent in word that
they were the remnant of the Army of North:
ern Virginia, and that they wished to sur
render upon the conditions aCcorded to the
main body. They represented that after the
Appomattox Court House fight they were
"cut off," and resolving never to surrender,
hid themselves in a cave on the banks of the
Appomattox river, some miles from Peters
burg, and have subsisted ever since upon fish
from the river, corn, " stray pigs caught away
from their mothers," and whatever they
could gather by scouring the country. At
length, learning from a colored man that the
Confederacy had, certainly "gone up," they
thought better Of their first determination,
and accordingly gave themselves up. They
were very ragged and filthy, but the citizens
furnished them with new suits, and the com
mandant, who was amused at the incident,
sent them off to their homes rejoicing.
The President inPhiladelphia.—Tuesday
of this week was the day appointed for the
visit of President Johnson to this city, or
rather his stop here on his way to Chicago.
Our paper is made up too early for any ac
count of the display, or even a record of the
fact of its occurrence. The papers of Monday
contain the order of Maj-G-en. Meade, com
manding the Department of the East, for his
public reception by the military, and also ar
rangements, on a moderate scale, for other
honors.
We learn, says the Press, that lists of de
serters and . non-reporting ~drafted mew-,ate
being printed at the State printing offie- at
Harrisburg, under instructions from the'
State officials. These lists, it is geld, will
average about one hundred and fifty names
to each -regiment, or an aggregate of from
thirty to thirty-five thousand names. They
will be sent, with a copy of the act of the
Legislature disfranchising deserters and non
reporting drafted men, to all the election
officers of the State, with instructions to re:
fuse the votes of all whose names appear
upon the lists.
Hon. Dean Richmond, of Batavia, N. J.,
a prominent leader in the political movements
of the anti-Republican party, and its prob
able candidate for Governor, died in the city
of New York, on the 27th inst., in the sixty
third year of his age.
Rations to 'Whites and Blacks,
hereto
fore dispensed from the Freedmen's Bureau,
are to`be disbontinued, with very limited ex
ceptions, after October Ist. Less than three
thousandersons are reported as now receiv
ing aid. It is reported that Gen. Howard
will be removed and the i semi-rebel Tilson
put in his place.
The Fenians.—A St. Louis despatch of
Aug. 23d says :—The United States Attor
ney-General has issued directions to the
District-Attorney of the Eastern District of
Missouri to enter :a voile prosequi in all cases
of Fenians arrested in this city last Spring,
charged with complicity in the invasion of
Canada. The -Canadian troops are in mo
tion. An attack is expected in two or three
weeks, and distrust is felt of the good faith
of the United States Government.
~zig!tut 21.—Munich adv4ces to this dite
say that The German Zollverein or Custoin4
League will be introduced into Bavaria. Th
country, after having contemplated an armed
resistance, on her own account, 6i the Prus 2
sian authority, has submitted to the demands
of that Government.
.Absorption of German Territory by Prussic&
—Berlin advices of the same date represent
" The Cabinet Policy" as asserting that the
ho'stile attitude maintained toward the gov=
ernment of the King of Prussia by the king
dom of Hanover, the people of the territory
of Electoral Hesse, Nassau and the late free
city of Frankfort, has, determined the Prus
sian executive to at once destroy their inde
pendence and annex them completely to the
kingdom of Prussia. From Bavaria she asks
also the districts of Lichtenfels and Carlhof.
Despatches from Vienna, of the same date,
say that King (George) of Hanover, at pres
ent in this city, has been formally advised
that the King and Government of Prussia
demand the abdication of; his crown:. The
aged and blind exiled man is willing to take
the step, but declares it to be in favor of his
son. The Queen of Hanover is using every
effort which she can employ with the view of
securing the succession to her sou, but Pm
.
sia gives her no-assurance.
Removal of La': Marmora. —Florence de
spatches, August say General La Marmora
has been removed from his 'position as chief
of the staff of grog Victor:Emmanuel. • Gene
ral Cialdini succeeds him.
insurrection by Greek Christians .against
the Turks.—Advices received in Athens,
August 21, from Candia, dated on the 9th
instant, state that the Christian population
there demanded certain measures of govern
mental reform from the Porte, which, being
refused, they rose in arms, displaying the
standards of the three protecting Powers and
of Greece. They have proclaimed their inde
pendence. The Governor treats the Chris
tians as rebels, and has sent for reinforce
' ments of Turkish troops.

BY TILE ATLANTIC CABLE.
A Later Despatch. —The Turks have com
menced hostilities against the Christians in
Candia. Several Consulates, especially those
of Holland, Sweden and the United States,
having suffered much damage, have pro
tested. The insurgents, 25,000 strong, hold
important points.
An Assurance not Unexpected.—A London
telegram says :—The Emperor Napoleon has
assured the Government and Cabinet of Eng
land that France will not demand the fortresses
of Marienburg and Phillipeville from Belgium
in the event of territorial changes occurring
on the continent of Europe.
August 22.—A Paris despatch of to-day
says, on rumor however, that the Empress
of Mexico has failed in her mission, Napoleon
having, it is understood, refused to grant the
assistance of French troops,previous to their
evacuation of Mexico, to quell the insurgents.
In connection with this statement, a report
is current with some degree of credulity, that
the Emperor Maximilian will soon return to
Europe.
Berlin despatches say peace is concluded
withßavaria and Hesse Darmstadt. Bavaria
cedes the Northern District to Prussia, and
pays her 30,000,000 florins. Darmstadt cedes
to Prussia, Hesse-Hamburg, and the exclu
sive right to garrison Mentz, but retains
Upper Hesse, which joins the Northern Con
federation.
_ .
Other telegrams say Hesse-Darmstadt cedes
to Prussia the territory of the Landgraviate
of Hesse-Homberg, a State which was ad
mitted a member of the Confederation of the
Rhine in the year 1817 and lies directly be
tiveen Rhenish Bavaria, Rhenish Prussia and
Birkenfeld.
Under the treaty, Bavaria retains the terri
tory of Upper Hesse, which will be joined to
and incorporated with the new Confederation
Of Northern Germany, the organization and
limits of which will arranged after the treaty
of peace.
The Prussians commence evacuating Bohe
mia to-day, to conclude by September 15.
Austria promises a responsible ministry to
Hungary.
Napoleon will sede Venetia directly to Italy
It does not yet appear whether he will bully
any territory out of Victor Emanuel.
Ex-Governor Eyre was received by his
friends and the civil authorities of Southamp
ton AuguSt 21, and entertained at a banquet
in the evening. At a large opposition meet
ing, resolutions condemning his course in
Jamaica were passed with great unanimity.
August 23.—A' London despatch says
Peace between Austria and Prussia was to be
signed yesterday, and ratified in eight days.
Peace was also to be signed between Prussia
and Bavaria.
August 24.—Paris despatches say : —lt is
reasserted that the Emperor Napoleon has
rejected the request of the Mexican Empress,
for assistance in quelling the insurgents.
Among the reasons for the refusal was the
necessity of keeping faith with the United
States concerning the withdrawal of French
troops from Mexico. The Prussian troops
are rapidly retiring from Bohemia. Six
thousand remain at Prague as a garrison,
until the treaty to be signed is carried into
effect.
August 25.—London despatches say that
advices have been received to-day in official
circles here, announcing that a treaty of peace
between the:contending powers of Prussia,
Italy and A.'atria and Bavaria, was concluded
by the plenipotentiaries in session at Prague,
on Thursday last. The treaty was officially
signbd by the plenipotentiaries on behalf of
their respective governments on the same day.
Among the provisions of the treaty is one
that the troops now at different points shall
evacuate their pcisitions and retire to their
respective homes within three weeks.
The cession of Venetia to Italy is fully ac
complished. Before the treaty of peace
between Prussia, Austria, Italy and Bavaria
was -si-riled, Aiistria freely - artd - tnarzbet vedly
ceded Venetia to Victor Emanuel.
It is announced officially that a new minis
try will soon be formed for Hungary upon the
basis of the Constitution granted the Magyars
in 1840, the revocation of which was the
cause of the; Hungarian revolution in 1848
and 1849.
Advices have been received to-day from
Point de Galle, Island' of Ceylon, that a civil
war has broken out in Japan.
Paris despatches of this date say that the
Empress Carlotta will not return to Mexico,
and it is conceded on all hands that the em
pire in that country approaches its end. It
is authoritatively stated that if ,additional
French troops are sent to Mexico, it will be
only in sufficient numbers to protect the
interests of the French ,subjects during the
fall of the empire, and to secure a quiet
evacuation of Mexico. They will not be used
to sustain the dynasty of Maximilian.
August 26.—A1l of yesterday's despatches
concerning the treaty of peace are confirmed.
The Bing of Saxony has ordered his ministry
to co-operate with the Prussian authorities.
August 27. —lnformation has been received
in London which induces the, general belief
that the articles of the treaty of peace signed
at Prague are almost identical with the origi
nal preliminaries to peace interchanged at
Nicholsburg, on the 26th of July. The details
of the treaty will not be made public how
ever, until it is ratified by all the parties in
volved.
