President Johnnou and the Massacre.
From the Tribune.
We are bpjrinnitiK to understand more fully
the recent massacre In New Orleans and the
cause preceding it. The moro evideuce we
accumulate, the more we are convinced of tho
JuBlice of tli1 judgment that the Prestldout must
be hold diiectly responsible lor all that has been
done m New Orleans. Ho engendered the spirit
which broke forth in riot, murdored loyalists,
and bnally raked the Confederate flag. "About
fort? persons have been killed, and a largo
number wounded, nearly all being friendly to
the Convention !'' This u the result ot tho
President's policy in Louisiana, and we regard it
as a fitting sequel to tho result ot that policy in
Tennessee, where tae military authorities are
prevented troin punishing tbe authors of the
maxsncre in Memphis Memphis, unavenged
and unpunisbed, is at 13' followed by New Or
leans. Tho President began his work of interference
July '21, when he asked Governor Wells to
Jniorm him nnder and by what authority the
Convention had been cn.Uet, and also under
"what authority it aHsumed to represent the State
of Louisiana. This was before the massacre.
Governor Wells was Oovcmor of Louisiana, an 1,
according to the Presrlent's frequently pro
clKiuieil theories, as much a sovereign in his
way as the President himself. The menace to
Governor Wells was as much a usurpation as
thoueh the President were to address a lef.er to
Ouveruor Feu ton to know under and by what
authority he summoned the State Legislature.
Governor, Wells disobeyed the President, and
issued his proclamation for elections to be held
to choose delegates to the Convention to
111 vacancies, all that he could do by the
letter of the law. Thereupon, July 28, th9
Attorney-Geucral and the Lieutenant-Governor
unwilling to obey the law or to permit the
matter to go to the courts to test its constitu
tionality again telegraphed the President,
elating that a riot was feared; that tue (ioveruor
was guilty of the horrible crime ot "belug in
league with the Republicans;" that it was in
tended to indict tlic members by grand lury, aud
asking whether tbe President" would intenere
with the Indictment. To which, July 2i, tue
President replied that "the military wilt be ex
pected to sustain aud not obstruct or interfere
with the proceedings ot the courts." In other
words, "Go nhcud. gentlemen: indict or what
you please; no soldiers slntll molest you." This
was on Saturday. Mayor Monroe proclaimed
his purpose to suppress the Convention. He
eummoned policemen policemen, be it known,
"who were selected lor their valor in Rebel
armies. This police torce and the mob acted
together with bloody harmony, and did the work
ef suppre-ion thoroughly.
When the Convention assembled, the Presi
dent issued his order to Mr. Herron, a member
of Governor Wells' Cabinet. In the first place,
that order deposed Governor Wells for not obey
ing the President. In . tho second place, it
placed Geneial Sheridan under the control of a
State officer. In the third place, its lunguage
was not that of a calm executive otlicer, per
lormibg a solemn ministerial duty, but of a vio
lent, auery man, speaking to angry people.
'Usurpation will not be tolerated !"."the peo
ple must be. first cocsulted" ail "illegal or
unlawful assemblies" must be suppressed) Let
5t be remembered tlitt these words were written
to a community of Rebels, to men who were
seething with anger and hatred, an 1 who cher
ished no more darling idea than being permitted
to gain, In tho stroets of New Orleans, that
xevengo which the valor of 8herman and Sheri
dan prevented them irom gaining iu the field.
They were in a sate majority. They were amed.
They were commanded by tie Mayor aud sus
tained by the President of the United Statas.
The negroes and loyalists were unarmed, and
the soldiers of the nation were compelled to
ground their u.uskeis and look on at the mas
sacre. The work ot massacre was easy indeed.
It is impossible to resist the logic of this whole
proceeding. It was commenced July 2, by me
nacing Governor Wells, a Governor of a "sove
reign State;" it was continued by deposing him;
and, to make the work surer, "by placing tdo
army at the control of a Rebel officer, ft the
'resident had sent a manly d as patch to General
JJaird to preserve peace at all hazards, aud
protect every loyal man, leaving the Convention
to be dealt with by the courts and the people,
to do what was best when peace came, but still
to make peace the p.ouutry .would have telt tnat
the affair was merely a riot.iand supprassed as all
riot hhould be. But when the country sees in
JJew Orleans what was seen in Memphis and
Alexandria, direct personal sympathy between
the President and rioters.' can it release the
President from a most feanul responsibility?
Po we not see this man while clamoring
against- usurpation performing hlmsolf the
very highest usurpation wheu it suits hu
gurpose.. He deprecates interfering with
tates, and removes a State Governor.
He desires reconstruction, aud yet when
Tennessee wished to come into the Union
by tho only open door, he stood in her way. We
very much fear that all thpse protestations ot
respect for principle and desire tor peace and
willingness to trust the people are the more
words of a politician without sincerity and
spoken to deceive. Just as when he called
himself the Moses ot tbe uero, and declared
treason was odiouB, and gave interviews to
radicals like Kelleyand Siearns, which made
theui trust him, he -poke as a politician for pur
poses of deception. His act are tho only
speeches we want. They show a stem, unjust
purpose. Andrew Johnson desires to recon
struct this Union in hs own wav and to do it
in spite ot every opposition. He means that if
in his power, the South shall again rule the
councils of this country. He cannot returu tbo
negro to slavery, but it is his will that the negro
ehall never leave it. And to do this he goes to
bis work with coarRe, unscrupulous energy
with a courage and persistency which we re
spected when he assailed the country's enemies,
but which are now the sources of national grief
sod humiliation.
President Johnson and the New Orleans
Uiot.
from the Timet.
Adhering to its policy of sectional antagonism
and hae, the Tribune pounced upon the New
Orleans riot as a pretext for maligning tho
gouthera people and canonizing a mob of negro
rioters Tho meagre, one sided story of its own
correspondent it entitled "a loyal account;" the
more intelligent, and, as subsequent reports
proved, the more trustworthy statement f the
Associated Presi, it decried as "a Rebel
account;"' a brief explanatory paragraph of a
respectable New Orleans journal, fastening the
beginning of the dUturba nee upon the n'.groes,
it stigmatized as a "Copperhead account."
Having thus discredited all versions but itsown,
and that the Qpooreat, the 'tribune proceeded
with its customary exaggeration. Ignoring the
provocation giveu by the neuro rioters, and the
obvious duty of the civil power to make arrests.
It treated the all air as a causeless, wanton mas
sacre; those of the radical authors of the ex
citement who were among the sutferers being
eulogized as martyrs, and the killed nezroee as
murdered innocents, while not a syllable of
vmpainy or even iruia was reserved lor the
slaughtered policemen, or others who had
uttered from uesro violence.
On Tuesday our contemporary returned to the
subject with an evident purpose ot attaching
odium to President Johnson. "The President's
order countenancing the massacre" is tbe seusa-
tioital iieading wuu which the despatch of the
Freshieut to the Attorney-General ot Louisiana
n introduced. Mmmeuuug upon this document
the Inlmre thus opens a dingenuoas attack
upon the President's proceeding
"If any doubt existed as to Preeident Johnton't
connection teifft the ma$arre In lirw Orleant, 11 will
be removed by reading h i uespaich to A.tornar
t noii Herron, ot Louisiana. Inls d M oh, writ
ten with the knowledge that loyal citizen of the
United Siatea were dying Irom wonndi leorived by
a Kebel mou, s.sunii i the tu I uaponsibility of the
deed Ihe poncy that promoted Miyor Monroe
and hi loilowors tound Its iutptraliun In Wain-ins-ion."
Now, In the first place, what was the purport
ol the despatch upon which the Tribune virtually
arraigns President Johuson on a cLarge
of murder! It Instructs AUoruey-Oeneral
Herron to call uoon the miliary tor force to
sustain the civil autuorities In suppressing
unlawful assemblies, and it designates tbe illegal
radical Convention as withiu this category.
Tnat is all. The connection ol the despatch
with the 1 lot exists only in tje Tribune's
imagination. And the allegation that it was
"written with the knowledge" of tno riot and
its deplorable mementoes is gratuitous, aud we
believe untrue. The despatch was dictated, as
we understand, before the loss ot life was
known, if not actually before the occurrence
of the riot; and lis appareat object was to pre
vent the difficulties which terminated so
calamitously. The error was, not in directing a
resort to the military, if that step were neces
sary to preserve the peace, but In the dolay on
the part of the military which permitted the
riot to continue more tnua three hours: so that
the President simply discharaud his duty, and
whatever ieeponsibility exists belougs elne
whure. The Irtbunr special despatch yesterday
assigns tho responsibility to General Baird.
"Many Union men," says tbo correspondent,,
"are knon to have been murdered. General
Baird is responsible tor this, inasmuch as he
bud no troops In the city, although warned of
what has transpired." Tho chargj preferred by
the 1 Tribune editor against the President is
therefore disproved by the Tribune correspond
ent, living on the spot.
Hut the Tribune has other grounds ot dis
satisfactiou. la the first plaoe the President recognizes a
usuri ed power to communicste his wishes James
M Weils is the Governor ot Louisiana, and tho olll
cial representative ol the Siato. Xo him the 1'rosi
Uoutrhouid have spoken. But Governor Wells, a
oulv elecied Governor byRuoel votes, had called
this Convention toiioihor, aud tho 1'ro.iUout sti'ps
ovorthe iboury of js.uto Hunts, and scuds nig coin
rurudsto an otlicer of his Cabinet his Attorney
General. To assume that Governor Wells po-scsses au
thority to call this or any other convention is to
count too contUenrly on popular ignorance.
He holds olhee under' the Constitution which the
Convention ot lb'4 drafted and which the people
01 Louisiana ratilicd; ana the most radical
theorist will have dililculty in justifying a call
tor a convention to overthrow the Constitution,
issued by one whoso sworn duty is to uphold it.
Even on the hypothesis that'the Convention
miuht reassemble, Judge Durell, its President,
was alone authorized to reconvene it. He re
lused to help the game ot tho radicals, and Gov
ernor Wells did what he hud no inoru right to
do than Mr. Horace Greeley.
We admit, however, that as between the
National Kxecutive and the State ot Louisiana,
Governor Weils should be the medium of com
munication. This slight difficulty occurred to
prevent it in tbe presant case: Governor Wells,
having exceeded nis aiiiuority m calling the
delegates together, seunis to have shrunk from
the consequences of his own handiwork, aud to
have disappeared trom olliciul view. He incon
tinently absquatulated rctiriag. according to
some acf ounts, beyoud the reach of mail or
telegraph, and for the time practically leaving
Louisiana without a Governor. Had the Presi
dent waited lor advices Irom Wells, or let used
to recognize the po.-ition of anybody but Wells,
the rioters, black and white, would probably
have eu.joj ed come hours' further license. It is
lortunute thut red tape did not in this manner
prevent tho interposition of the military. In the
abscuce ol the Governor, the Attorney-General,
consulted the President; tho Presiaent very
properly assured the Attorney-General of the
support of soldiers to preserve the peace; aud
what might have grown into a massacre was
condueu to a comparatively brief but bloouy
riot.
The analogies employed by the Tribune do not
greatly help its cae:
"When Governor Brownlow asked for troops to
conn el the ohediencu to Kxocutive comniauiis, and
to piotect tuo Loxis.uture in 11s .eirultuvo power, he
was petu autiy refused, lu leoneasee iho umjo lty
was .oval, aud the Piesidunt thiew bis iiitluenoe
with the minority, lu Louisiana tho majority was
Kebel, una tue 1 resident not only sustaiu d it, Dut
aced iu its bancs the army of the Uuitsd states,
f it was ricriit to retuse aid to iirownlow in seuinir
that 'the law aud the Coustitution were xustaiued,
and thereby peace and ordur.' thou it was wron to
roluse aid to Governor Wells aud bis Convdu iou.
ll thai Convention was uniawiui, tuere were reme
dies iu the bupreme Court We have had a uozen
Feu an Couveutious iu tbe ast year all uulawfat
us ornumng war upon a friendly poei. The
ITeMueDi puruutied tliew to assemble, aud sout no

ot li yal men in loulMana, who at tho very wort,
aud aeciptiuc as truin ihu charges of tue 1'roatdeut,
were no more illegal ihan the bouato ot tue Feuian
lliothtruood."
Governor Brownlow's request was not to "pro
tect tbe Legislature in its legislative power,'"
but to aid oue party in tbe Legislature against
another. It was not to preserve the public
peace, but to ellect a partisan purpose by sub
jecting members ot the Legislature to military
dictation. Tbe President reiustd 'to in'.erlere
in any way in the controversy between the poli
tical autnoiit es" ot Tennessee; and nine men
out of ten have said thut he decided wisely.
The case ot Tennessee, then, had uo resem
blance to the case ot Louisiana. Iu the latter
Binto the civil power proposed to prevent the
assembling of violent men, makiutr no pretence
to a representative capacity, constitut ng an or-
result that would aiuouut to revolution. The j
measures resorted to Dy the tonveutiouiats to
fortify their position tended to a conflict with
law, "and the creation ol a disturbance with
which tbe local authorities, unaided, might be
unable to contend. Hence tne precautionary
application ot the Aitorney-Geueral, aud tbe
piecuutiouary despatch of the President.
Nor does the Fenian movement furnish a just
parallel. Its conventions and the sessions of its
Senate never ro-e above the level ol farces.
lhey neither endangered public order nor
threatened domestic revolution. When, how
ever. Feuianisui really became atfgressive, and
imperilled the authority ot law and the mainte
nance ot friendly relations with a neighboring
country, PresMeiit Johnson lutertered as ed'oc-
tuatl.t as at New Orleaus. Tue same principle
governed his action ih both iusinnecs. lu both
he delated iuteriereuce until events arose to
justity it.
Perhaps in this lailcude it may be difficult to
reulize the reasons for the importance wnich In
Louisiana has attached to tbls talked-of Con
vention. Here, a fathering of twenty-six radi
caljjnobodies, with an applaudinn negro auditory,
would be passed over as merely a very silly
performance. We should scout the idea o't med
dling with it, as we should have scouted a pro
posal to send policemen to Ft aminghani to ob
struct the delivery 01 Wendell Phillips' haranaue.
Whv, then, the uneasiness which prevailed in
New Orleans about this radical Convention!
An answer must be sought lu the peculiar cir
cumstances of Louisiana, where an insignificant
radical minority, with tne assistance of armed
and orcanized negroes, are intent upon gainiuat
political supremacy by unlawful means, and at
tbe cost ot revolution. The movement has been
pregnant with danger from the first; it has
pointed to local anarchy as a not Improbable
consequence; and in the frig html scenes juBt
eLactcd vie witness an indication of what might
bavehappened,but lor.President Johnsou's orders
to the military.
Scold and fchriek as itniayr the Tribune cannot
divest ot responsibility tbe reckless party of
which it la ihe moutbpieoe. For the, blood
shed at New Orleans we hud the main operating
causes iu the plan and counsels of the extreme
radicals, who would not be unwilling to precipi
tate a State in civil war to accomplish negro
sufJuge. The groat maority ot ihe Uulouits
of l4uisiana have deprecated and stood aloof
from! the measures of the agitators, as may
be safely inferred from tho trumtier; dimensions
of tli gathering ou Monday last. .
The Derby Ministry In Reference to En
icpean and Amcitcan Aflnlra.
from the Berald. , i
While awaiting further Intelligence through
the Atlantic cable of the progress of the peace
movement initiated among the German States,
recent events in England are entitled to some
attention, touching her resent position and
probable coarse of action in reference to Euro
pean and American affairs. The great popular
relorm meeting, held the other dsy in London,'
somewhat emphatically expressed its want of
coijlldeuce in the Derby Government; but this
expression, -was doubtles intended to apply to
Dei by as a standstill or retrogressive aristocrat,
concerning whom tbe masses of the Euglish,
pesplo have no ideas or principles or purposes,
exeeot those of d struct and autagonism.
There is, however, another man in this Derby
ministry a ho, as a man of modern ideas and
coni-picuously identified among English states
men as the champion of the progressive spirit of
the nee, may prove siitticien l.v strons to leaven
the whole lump, and make this Derby Govern
ment popular and successful. This maa Is the
famous Disraeli, tbe ptescut Chancellor of tbe
Exchequer. In this Derby Cabinet ho stands
ont iu even bolder rtliel than stojd Mr. Glad
stone in tbe displaced Russell Cabinet. We in
cline to tbe opinion also thut Disraeli will wield
a greater iuilueuce in shuping the general policy
ot Ibis Derby Cabinet than did Gladstone in
shaping the policy, and especially the loreitrn
policy ot Earl Russell, because, although Derby
is what may be culled an old Bourbon, who
teems nothing uuo lorpets nothing, he is tar
moie flexible and practical upon the question of
Lneland's lorcicn policy than that rough, gruff,
ob'tmate. presuming, aud olleiisive little man,
RufscH. Unquestionably, with tue displacement
ot Russell, tuo most ditiicult stumbling-block in
the way o' a quiet and atistnctoiy settlement of
our unsettled balances acainst England has been
lemoved, and from Disraeli we tiro now prepaieJ
lor a satisfactory settlement. We say Disraeli,
lor he in reality is the master-spirit of the pre
sent ministry; and trom his large experience, his
ereat abilities, and his liberal ideas, particularly
in relation to American ail airs, we are inclined
to expect ereat things Irom him, as the directing
genius oi Derby.
First, however, in regard to tho affairs of
Europe, the Earl ol Derby has taken the solo
position ot non-intervention till called upon to
assist in behalf of peaco. He savs: "The
liniperor Napoleon has been apoeuled to by one
Of tbe belligeicnts (Austria) lor his mediation
aud good othces, but with what success remains
to be seen. It our assistance or good offices
shall be needed to cooperate with thoe of
Prauce lor the purpose of restoring peace to
Europe, nothing would be nearer the desires
ot her Muicsty's Government than to alford
them. But until our mediation or good offices
have beeu applied for, 1 hold tuat we should
be ttcpplng out of our province if we were to
lnteriere between the conflicting parties." From
this it would uppear that Lord Derby's non
ii.teiveniion potie.y is substantially that ot Mr.
Scard; but it being ready to step tor ward when
wauted, the Bitish Premier is somewhat ahead
ot the American Secieiary of tatate, who is
always leady with excuses, or lor excuses, but
never ready lor uction.
We are mainly interested, however, iu this
Derby ministry in reference to its policy upon
jvineriuuii auuiis, mi l especially 111 me hiuhci
ol certain unsettled balances due to us Irom
England in consequence or those thoroughly
discussed Anglo-Rebel spoliations upon Ameri
can commerce from 1SG1 to ln(5. Here, irom
some able, sagacious, nud broadly conciliatory
speeches ot Jur. Disraeli, in the House of Com
mons, iE the course of our late civil war, we
are disposed to believe, should these claims be
now reproduced betore the British Governmsnt,
that bis influence will be successful.)' exerted in
behalf ol a prompt aud liberal indemnification.
In thus securng the bonds of upiujb and iriend
thip recognized between Euulaud and the
United States, the Derby ministry may gain a
tootbotd in the atfcctions'of the masses ot the
British people.
There" are reasons now for the expectation of
this "happy accord" which have not existed
heretoiore, except tor a lew days of doubt and
uncertainty in 1868. We refer to tho reasons
suggested "in the success ot the Atlantic cable,
lu bringing the Old World and the New, Old
Em'laucl and Young America, into immediate
rapport, this cable will multiply a thousand
times the moral influence of our popular Insti
tutions and ideas, progiess and prosperity, in
Entrland and throughout tbe entire world.
Hence the greater the advantages which will
accrue to England in establishing her relations
ot peace with the United States upon a solid
basis. Hence, accordingly, the stronger the
inducement and the necessity to England and
the Deiby ministry ol a satis act ry adjustment
ol those claims arising trom Auglo-Ribel spolia
tions upon our commerce on the high seas.
Disraeli cannot tail to see, in this connection,
that in view of the reconstruct on ol Europe,
England will do well to have an anchor to the
windward in tne closest possible bonds of amity
and reciprocity in lrieudly offices with the
United States. Iu everv aspect, therefore, of the
ail airs of both heu-ispheres, as they now stand,
we have good reasous tor expect'ng trom the
Derby and Disraeli ministry a much broader and
niucli more honest policy towards this country
than that ot I'almertou and Russell. Disraeli
Is one of the active living leading men of Eng
land as she is to-day. Ho has kept paco with
the progress of modem events and ideas, and to
him, therelore, we loot tor the success oi the
present Derbv Cabinet, notwithstanding the
cloud under which it has been called into exist
ence. It must adapt itself to tbe spirit and
necessities ot tho ago, or it must retire.
Tbe flcpoitrd Reloim Riots In London .
frum the World.
It is premature to discuss the Relorm riots
w'blcb are alleged to hare occurred last week in
London, because, bo lar, we have only tbe
authority of o rather vague cable telegram to
chow that fucli riots did at all take place. But
of the preliminary action of the London Re
lurmeis in calling a public meeting in Hyde
Pttk, and of the police authorities in refusing,
under directions irom the Home Secretary, to
permit such meetings to be held, we have ac
counts by mail. It sugcefts a curious compari
son with the Mate ol thing In our own country,
to tiiid a cbiei ot police in London emering into
a ditcusslon with a private citizen as to the
propriety ot a police order Issued in obedience
to a ministerial mandate. We are always boat
iie ourselves to be a freer people than the
Lritinh. lint who ctm imagine Mr. Superintend
ent Kennedy cunrtcsccndiug to argue with a
citizen of New York about an order which
Secretary Btauton should have directed him to
Usue? We have made such strides towards
centralization, under tbe sway of the party ot
"treat moral ideas." that many Americans will
be aruaxed at the temerity of an obscure Kuglish
subject who ventured in tho name of bta per
sonal rights and liberties to beard the whole
police department of London, and the Home
Utliee to boot.
It is instructive, too, to see an ex-Mlnister like
Sir George Urey, who ha9 just been turned out
ot otuce, coming lorwara iu a quiet una uecioea
little speech to land the warranty of hu own
precedents and Dractice to his Tory successor.
and throwing away a party advantage at tho
dictation ot juetice, generosity, aud personal
U3U01. Can anv one imauine ex-Attorney-
General SDted. or ex-8ecretarv Harlan behaving
in this houe-t and manly fashion in similar cir
cumstances f
A a question ol propriety, the Government
woujo certainly seem to nave oeen in mo iwai.
Hide Pnrk heinor a roal domain, has been
thrown oren tor the pleasure end comfort of all
cltisms ot the London poptilatioLt and there
would seem to be no more tltnean in making it
tbe eccne of a nartv demonstration, than In
iifcliia the halls of Buckingham Palace or llamp
ton Court in tbe same way. A like attempt to
monopolize tbe Central Park in New York
voud pietty certainly be felt by decent, people
ot all shade of political opinion to be a scandal
and wrong.
As a matter of policy, however, It is pretty
plain that the English pclitleians opposed to
Loid Derby's Government were trying hard; and
were likely to succeed in the elTort. to convert
this Incident lnt a stimulus for the h therto
somewhat languid aud lymphatic Rciorin movement.
