The Official Despatches Concerning- the
New Oi leans Riot.
Tns morning papers publish In full the offi
cial despatches concerningr the late terrible
riot In New Orleans. Many of these had
already been made public. The chief inte
rest of the public will fix upon the despatches
of General Sheridan, not heretofore pub
lished, except in a garbled form.
Not to trouble our readers with a full repe
tition of the despatches, which we have
already printed, we will make a brief sum
mary oi tlie affair In historical order.
The first dospatch is to the Presi
dent, under date of New Orleans, July
27, from Voobhees and Herkon, Inform
ing him that Governor Wells had ordered
writs of election for vacai cies in the Con
vention. The second is from the same par
ties on the 28th, giving: an account of the
mass meeting addressed by Dostik and
other Unionists, informing him of the action
of the Grand Jury with reference to the mem
bers of the Convention, and their contemplated
arrest, but that it would be impossible to
serve a civil process without the certainty of
a riot, and winding up by inquiring "Is
the military to interfere 1o prevent process
of court?" This question was evidently sug
gested from a fear that General IJaibd, the
officer In command in New Orleans, might
not consent to the breaking-up oi the Con
vention. The reply to this from the President, under
same date, is, that "the military will be ex
pected to sustain, and not to obstruct or in
terfere with, the proceedings of the court."
On the same day. the President telegraphs
to Governor Wells, demanding of h'ni by
what authority be had called the Convention
together. To this Governor Wells replies
that he has not called it together, but tbat it
had been ordered to convene by the President
of the Convention, in accordance with a reso
lution of that body, empowering him so to do.
On the same day the following despatch
was sent by General Baird to Secretary
Stanton :
"Hon. I'Dwrw M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
A ooovention has been called, with the sanction of
Governor Wells, to meet h-re on Monday. The
Lieutenant-Governor and city authorities think it
unlawful, ami purpose to broa It up Dy arresting
the di-legate. 1 have riven no orders on tho sub
ject, bnt have arned the parties that I could not
countenance or permit such ao ion without instruc
tions to that efleot iroin thu President, f lease in
struct me at onoe by te crraph.
A. Baird, Htevot Major-fiencral."
There was no reply made to this, except in
so far as the President's despatch of the same
date to Voorheks and Hebron may be con
sidered a reply to it.
On the 30th, the President telegraphed to
Andrew J. Hereon, the Attorney-General
of Louisiana, as follows :
"Ton will call on General Shkridan, or whoovor
may be in command, lor sufficient lorce to sustain
the civil authority in suppressing all illegal orun
lawful assemblies, who usurp or assume to exurcise
any power or authority without first haviiw ob
tained the consent ot the people of the State. If
there is to be a convention, let it be composed of
dclogatos ohoxen tresn tiora the people ol tne wlioe
Butte, the people must be first consulted in refer
ence to changing the or panic law ot the 8taie.
Usurpation y. ill not be toloratou. The lavv nnd the
Constitution must be sustained, and thereby poaco
and order. Asdbsw Johnson."
1 he same day the President received the
following despatch Irom Lieutenant-Governor
Voorhees:
"to his Excellency President Johnson: Conven
tion met. A not broke out intbecitv. So far the
police baa the upper band. Several white and
colored persona killed. Called on General Baird
tor assistance, which is cheerfully tendered. Intense
exoiumeut. Convention broken up.
"Albkkt Voobhees,
Lieutenant Governor Louisiana."
Also, on the same day, the following from
Major-General Francis J. Hebron, a Union
officer, whose graphic account of the riot has
already been published :
Tbe President of the United States: We are in
the midst oi a terribie riot, caused by the assembling
oi the Convention Owing to the mixed coudit on
of ailairs among the State oflloeis, I sue no hone ot
quiet without you give us a military Governor. Can
not General Gkanokk be sent here?
J. Hebron,
"Late Major-General U. S. A."
General Baird also, under the same date,
sent the following despatch to the Secretary
of War:
'To the Secretary of War: -A aeiious riot baa
occurred bere to-day. 1 have been in lull consulta
tion with the city authorities, and bave kept my
troops well in baud for such an emergency. The
not common oed unexpectedly, and before the troops
could reach the scene of action a number ot persona
were lulled and wounded. I have felt compelled to
declare martial law, and have appointed a military
Governor ot the city. AU is quiet noiv. Several
prominent gentlemen connected with the Couvea
i.on are killoo or wounded.
'A. Baird, Brevet Major-Genaral."
General Baird, the same day, also sent a
second and more lengthy despatch to the Se
cretary of War, giving full particulars ot his
own action La the premises. In this despatch
he says:
"The police, aided by the citizens, became the as
sailant, and, from the evidence, 1 am forced to be
line, exercised gat biutaiityin making their ar
rest. Finally they attacked the convention hall,
and a protracted atrua-jrle entued. The peoplo inmde
the hall gave up. Some vho surrendered were at
tacked afterward and brutally treated Quite a
large number were injure;! i 1 cannot now say ho v
many Governor Hahn, Dr. Doatio. tlr. Fish, and,
Jiertiaps, other members of the Convention among
the number On the arrival of tiie troop I aoon
cleared the streets, and quiet waa restored."
He also regrets that he had received no
reply to his despatca of the 28th asking in
strucUons. On the 81st General Baird sends des
patches to the Secretary of War, to the Adjutant-General,
and to General Howard, all
of similar tenor, concerning his declaration
?( martial law Oa the tame date Attorney-
General Hebron telerrapbs the President
that Baird has declared martlafclaw and
suspended processes tor the arrest of the
members of the late Convention. The Pre
sident telegraphs to Baird the next day
(August 1) to Interpose no obstacle in the
way of the civil authorities ; and he also tele
graphs TooinEE8 and Hereon to know
whether the civil authorities were conferred
with by Baird before declaring martial law,
etc., to which they reply, pronouncing martial
law "wholly unnecessary."
Sheridan's first despatch, August Lis the
one which has already been published. His
second despatch is under date ol August 2,
and Is the one which has hitherto been sup
pressed or mutilated. It is as follows :
"U. 8. Ga ant, General, Washington, D. C. : The
more intormation I obtain ot the altalr oi the 80tU
In tlii city, the more revolting it become It was
not a riot; it wa an abimlute mansacre by the police,
uhich trot tiol excelled in muruerov cruelty by thiU
of Fort J'illow It wan a mnnler which tius Mayor
ami police of the city perpetrated without the shtuMW
ot a necetsily. furthermore), believe, it " pre
medttateil, and every indication point to this. I
recommend the romoving of this bad man. I be
lieve it would be baited with the sincere! giatilica
con by two-thirds of the population of the citf.
There lia bcon a feeling of lnnecmitv on the part
ol the peoplo bore, on account ot this man, which is
now so much inoroasod, tbat the salt-trot lift) and
property ones not rest with the civil authorities, but
with the military. 1. H Nhkkidan,
"Major-General Commanding."
To this General Grant immediately re
plied, ordering him to continue to enforce
martial law, and to lose no time in investi
gating and reporting upon the riot.
C'n the 3d General Shkridan again sent a
despatch to General Grant, giving an ac
count ot the state of affairs, and adding the
following :
Unless pood judgment la exorcised, there will be
an erodvs of Aortliem capital and Unmn men,
which vi ll bo injurious to the city and to tho whole
cmiiiti v. 1 will removo the MLitary iTOvomor in a
day or two. I again stroncly advise that some dis
position be made to cbanpo the present Mayor, aj I
believe it would do more to restore confluence than
anything that could be done. If tho present
(.ovrrnor could bo changed also it would not be
amiss."
Two more despatches close the history. We
would be glad to give them In full, but their
extreme length prevents our doing so. The
first Is a despatch from the President, pro
pounding a series of inquiries covering the
entire ground maintained by the apologists
and defenders of the II ay or and police.
Sheridan's reply goes into a full history of
the matter, which can best be summed up by
saying tha'. it lully confirms and substantiates
his previous despatch in regard to the preme
ditated and murderous character of the riot .
Prussian Aggrandizement.
Prussia is already beginning to realize the
fruits of her recent victorious German aud
Austrian war. The announcement is made
that, owing to the hostile attitude maintained
towards Prussia by the kingdom of Hanover,
the people of Electoral Hesse, Nassau, and
the tree city oi Frankfort, the King of Prus
sia has determined to at once destroy their
independence and incorporate them Into
his kingdom. The poor blind and exiled
King of Hanover is iniorined that he is ex
pected at once to abdicate. This he is ready
to do, but pleads, as does his wile, lor the
succession of his son. Prussia is inexorable,
and the kingdom of Hanover vanishes lor the
future from the map of Europe.
A glance at the map will show that other
considerations besides those ot the assumed or
real hostility of the people above enumerated
must bave influenced Prussia in this decision.
The Rhino provinces of Prussia are now
separated from the mainbody of the kingdom
by these very countries that Prussia proposes
to Incorporate with herself. So, also, the
piovinces of Schleswig and Holsleln, which
have just been ceded to Prussia, are separated
from her in part by Hanover. Prussia, too,
as one of the great powers of the world, needs
a free outlet to the sea, so that she may build
up foreign commerce and establish a navy.
This Hanover, with its extensive sea-coast
and its t.taree navigable rivers, will allow her
to do. T'
Nassau and Hesse-Cassel will open a free
road to the Rhino and the French frontier a
consideration of no small importance with
reference to contingencies that may arise in
the future.
Hence, we see it Is the interests of Prussia,
as a great power, that determine these steps
of territorial aggrandizement. The Confede
ration of North Germany means Prussia, and
not much else. We shall not be at all sur
prised to find, ere long, that the people of
Saxony are quite as hostile in Prussia's eyes
as those of Hanover are now asumed to be
Then a similar fate will overtake them. 1
Probable Release of Jeff. Davis.
The New York Express ot lost evening an
nounces editorially its belief that Jeffer
eon Davis will shortly receive his release,
and once more tread the soil of the land
whose destruction he so earnestly strove to
achieve. It bases its statement on the ground
of "the recent discovery of a correspondence
between the supposed suborned witnesses
before the Judiciary Committee." Upon this
basis the Express and other friends ot Davis
are confident of securing his release on parole.
We place but little faith in the story. The
crimes of the chief Rebel the Moloch and
Bel'al combined ore too atrocious, and the
feelmes of all loyal men too Intense, to adailt
of the belief that he would be trusted on his
honor, when by the acts ot a lifetime he has
proved that he possessed no such article in
his moral constitution.

from Westmoreland county Indicates, beyond
a question ol doubt, that the Republican party
will gain on additional memberinthe District
now represented by non. John L. Dawhox.
The selection of Hon. Joun Covonw, and his
acceptance ol the nomination, madj the issue
a settled fact. There is no man in Pennsyl
vania in whom the people have more confi
dence thon Mr. Covode. Of longexperienc ,

of most Incorruptible honor, and a disposition
at once tearless and consistent, he will be a
tower of strength In Cor grcss,ol which he
may be already considered a member. '
Forewarned. Our Conwrvative revolutionists
areeettina. along rapidly. In their viear, we
don't need a popular branch in tbe United
Slate jovernmotit any more. The President Is
urged to suppress it by tnlli'ury force. We
should then have no tnote trouble, as the same
person who exec utes tho law would also make
tin-in. One of the orpaDs of these revolutionists
thu uices the l'residnnt on:
"II the Radical Conerc-s have bcon cuilty of
all these crimes ugaiust tbe republic, it is time
that they be (I canned au.l rendered impotent
in tbe luture. if tbey bave done what thj nre
dent ha mid thnt Uicy bave done, they should
not be permitted an opportunity to reneat their
crime. At the next session they should bo con
lionU'd by the Kxecutivc authority, and com
pelled to rtl nqulsh their uuroed powers. It is
not enough lor the Executive to declaim again t
their tioHRotmblo and inoendiar.v acMtm; he
shiiulJ interpose tho power that he wields, in
cUidnig, if necessary, tho military power, to re
