Orleans Riot
Report.
Vmn the Tintct. ,
Tlio report of Messrs. Kliot and Shollabargor
-R majority of the Houne Committee ap
Xinted to . investigate circumstances con
goctcd with tho New Orleans riot, and the
political condition of Louisiana materially
adds to our previous knowledge on the sub
ject. The inquiry conducted some months ago
j the military authorities was conclusive as
to the nature of the occurrences, and the par
ties responsible for tho murders and outrages
Which attended them. General Sheridan's
early and off-hand description was verified to
tho letter. The Mayor and his minions were
Shown to have been the authors of all the
trouble; the killing of the Couventionists was
proved to be wanton, brutal murder on the
part of tho police; and tho friends and pro
moters of the Convention wore vindicated from
tho aspersions which, iu the first instance,
were cast upon them.
But though tho report just presented to Con
tress can scarcely deepen the impression pro
duced by these earlier revelations, the fullness
of its details render them more distinct. Tho
testimony taken is voluminous, and embraces
probably all that could be adduced on both
Bides. Tho Committee appears to have
excluded nothing that could shed a ray of
light upon the allair, and if its recital of events
Lrings out much that is not new, it certainly
reproduces the whole case with startling vivid
ness and effect. Whatever doubts may have
attached to evidence acquired by a military
tribunal, there can be none after studying the
testimony gathered in the course of the Con
gressional investigation. The peaceful charac
ter of the Convention movement the abseneo
f excitement at the meetings of Unionists hold
Immediately preceding the Convention the
falsity of the Rebel stories in regard to the
meetings the law-abiding disposition of the
members of the Convention and their assem
bled friends the brutal violence and cruelty
of the police, and their unprovoked murders,
acting evidently in pursuance of prearranged
plans these are points which Messrs. Eliot and
Sihellabarger liave placed beyond controversy.
Tho course of President Johnson hi regard to
the affair may possibly continue the occasion of
some difference of opinion. One new fact is
brought out, however, which deserves mention.
A statement current at the time of the riot was
that Governor Wells had absented himself from
tho city and could not be found, and that in
consequence the President was obliged to com
municate with the Lieutenant-Governor and
Attorney-General, whose sympathies were with
the Thugs. We gather from this report that
Governor Wells was not absent, and that the
recognition of Messrs. Voorhies and Herron wa3
Irregular and inexcusable. The report con
tends that the sanction accorded to them by
the President inspired them and their Rebel
associates with a belief that the authority of
the National Government would be exercised
in their favor ; and the inference is deduced
that this circumstance contributed to the un
lawful attack upon the Couventionists, and
what General Sheridan stigmatized as the
"absolute massacre by the police" which fol
lowed. The facts are suggestive, and the con
clusion is not unreasonable.
The letter of the Secretary of War relieves
the President from tho responsibility con
nected with tho failure to reply to the despatch
of General Baird, dated 28th July, sotting
forth facts known in connection with the
intended assembly, and asking for instructions
by telegraph. Mr. Stanton did not consider
instructions necessary, because he assumed
that General Baird would protect the Conven
tion, and that his warning to the city autho
rities would be respected. It is unfortunate
for the President that on the day on which
Ibis despatch was sent from New Orleans, he
advised Lieutenant-Governor Voorhies that the
military would be expected to sustain the
proceedings of the civil authorities as against
the Convention. Still more unfortunate is it
that after the riot, and after the barbarous
conduct of the police had been made evident,
a despatch was addressed, by order of the
President, instructing General Baird not to
"interpose any obstacle In tho way of the civil
VuthOiities." Cn the same day August 1
General Siioridan transmitted Ids memorable
.-despatch, and CP the 3d General Grant directed
him to maintain martial law. The error com
mitted by the President was thus corrected.
33ut the fact remains that confusion and diffi
culty were produced by his independent action
in relation to the military. Mr. Stanton's idea
of General Baird's duty was the opposite of
that entertained by the President; and the
despatch of one neutralized the understanding
of the other. Political and military autho
rity were unwittingly antagonistic, and public
interests suffered in consequence.
The Committee's representations with re
ference to public opinion in New Orleans and
throughout Louisiana are unfavorable. The
Rebel element dominates, and its influence and
Wience are on the increase. The testimony,
indeed, differs upon this head, even where
Union witnesses are concerned; some assert-
tunt tiiev carrv on their business unmo
lested, others averring that they are not per
mitted to live in peace. The contradiction, we
take it, i rather apparent than real. Northern
men who are silent concerning the Rebellion,
and keen their Unionism to themselves expe
rience no trouble; while active, decided adhe
rents of the National Government lind the
Ktato uncomfortably hot. General bhendan s
evidence agrees with this interpretation. The
Rebels he says, profess to accept the situa
Son, bu wheil thly cheer they prefer to have
lot Union and Rebel flags betore them.
Their loyalty is of the sort which dehgh t, to
lionor the detunct onieueriu . Yki,, H
this state of things, Messrs. hliot and fcmella
"arger propose that' the present civil govern
ment of Louisiana be suspended by act of Con
gress, and that a provisional government be
Istablished and maintained by luiUtary
power, pending the consummation of measures
which shall secure to loyal men the control of
State affairs. m
Reconstruction of Germany,
jyom the Tribune.
mA treaty of peace concluded at Prague be-
tr.n Prussia and Austria provided that that
nnrtion of the old Qerman Confederation which
i:a south of the river Main, and which com-
..v,a the Kincdoms of Bavaria and Wurtem-
f ' 1j (irand Duchies of Baden and
uerKi a111
r. ' ctdt. be excluded from the North Ger
rfWuderation. It was to be optional for
L Kt9 to form a South German Confede
taUonwUliM without Austria. From official
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
statements of both the Prussian and the French,
Governments, it has since become known .that J
the temporary separation of tho South Geraian
States from those of North and Central Ger
many was a concession by Prussia to a direct
demand of France. Louis Napoleon, in insist
ing upon this arrangement, hoped that these
feeble States of South Germany, unable to find
sufficient supjwrt in Austria, and repelled from
an alliance with Prussia by the prevalence of
sectional animosity, might bo prevailed upon
to accept a protectorate of France. Bismark,
in conceding the point, trusted that common
sense would bo strong enough in tho Govern
ments and people of South Germany to cause
them to accept the leadership of Prussia rather
than a protectorate of France or an alliance
with powerless Austria, and that they would
not refuse their co-operation in tho final con
solidation of all Germany.
Sooner than was anticipated has the current
of events realized tho anticipations of Count
Bismark. In Baden, which very reluctantly
had been drawn into tho war against Prussia,
Government and Diet, soon after tho conclu
sion of peace, expressed a wish to bo admitted
into the North German Confederation. For
obvious reasons, the Prussian Government
could not favor such an isolated move on the
part of Baden, as it must prefer a simultane
ous manifestation in the samo direction by all
the South German States. This movement
lias now fairly begun with tho highly import
ant speech of the new Bavarian Prime Minis
ter, the Prince of llohenlohe. Believing tho
object at which tho Bavarian policy should
aim to be "tho preservation of Germany and
the unity of all the German tribes," the Priuoo
announces that liis Government was resolved
not to form a Southwestern Confederation
under the protectorate of a non-German
power, nor to conclude an alliance with tho
South German States under tho leadership of
Austria, nor to lend a hand to the formation
of a Southwestern Federal State shut up
within itself.
The only course left to Bavaria as a second
class German State, "which, as such, cannot
exist without some European alliance," was to
ally herself, in case of a foreign war, with
Prussia. This alliance would render it neces
sary that in case of a foreign war Bavaria
should place Iut army under tho command of
Prussia, and that in the meanwhile the Bava
rian army should bo so reorganized as to facili
tate such military co-operation. To make this
alliance all tho more efficient, Prince llohen
lohe announced his wish to induce tho other
South German States to adopt exactly the same
policy.
The latest accounts from Germany state that
the programme of the Prince of llohenlohe is
fully approved by all the Governments of
South Germany. A conference was to be held
at once at Stutgardt, to mature a plan for the
introduction of the military system of Prussia
and to conciliate an alliance which would pro
vide for placing all the South German troops
under the leadership of Prussia iu case of a
foreign war.
The importance of this movement to tho
future of Germany is obvious. Whatever tho
dissensions on tho best way of reconstructing
the political unity of Germany may bo, the
military union of North and South Germany
will secure the progressing reconstruction from
all foreign attacks. Together, North and South
Germany constitute a natioC with a population
of about 38,000,000, which, under tho leader
ship of the first military power of Europe, will
bo amply able to defend tho integrity of its
territory. The patriotism which prompts this
new movement of the South German States
cannot fail to bo fully appreciated in Northern
Germany, and to give a powerful impulse to
tho national tendencies for the union of all tho
German people under one Government.
The
Perilous Position of Congress A
Rescue or a ahlpvrreclc.
From the Herald.
"The Campbells are coming ! Dinna ye hear
the Blogau ?" spoke tho quick-eared Jessie
Brown to the exhausted garrison of Lucknow,
invested by tho swarming Sepoys, and despair
ing of a rescue. So now, applying his eye to
the loophole of a compromise with President
Johnson, and peering through the dense fog of
"Saturday's sayings and doings in Congress,"
the far-sighted Greeley thinks he sees some
thing like a streak of daylight. Thus relieved
of the hobgoblin of impeachment, ho joyfully
rubs his hands and appeals to the two Ileuses
to take courage and try and do sometliing.
He lias been under a panic for some time, as if
ho had just escaped with his carpet-bag from

would chimo in with tho chorus:

This is the civil war which at this juncture
President Johnson's removal, as provided for
in the Constitution, would bring about, in
bringing about the restoration ot the South
upon the ultimatum of the North. That would
settle the whole trouble, and give ua peace, re
union, harmony, confidence, and cotton once

clear gain of a hundred millions in gold in the

has the capital, tho South has the soil and
labor. Touch them all with tho magio wand
of confidence, and cotton, sugar, rice, and
tobacco will line our docks again with Southern
hogsheads, tierces, boxes, and bales. This is
tho business view of the impeachment; but
tho political view, in its application to tho
party in power, is still more iu favor of this
measure. Horo is the Northern ultimatum
backed by intelligent Northern majorities,
rolled up to tho grand aggregate of half a
million. What do they mean ? They mean
that tho pooplo aro far ahead of Congress.
They had to drag Abraham Lincoln after them
by main strength all through the war, ready
and anxious as he was to understand and obey
their will. But tho lights for which wo waited
are now all ablaze, and Congress has no ex
cuse for hesitation or delay. Tho party chosen
by the pooplo to do their work must do it or
le displaced; for tho great North is terribly in
earnest upon this business. Is it not true that
the most radical of the radicals in these late
elections, in reference to President Johnson,
was always nearest tho policy of the people r
With tho fall of Brutus and Cassius the
world-wide dominions of tho Roman republic
fell into tho hands of tho triumvirate of Octa
vius, Antony, and Lepidus. The last named,
like the filth wheel to a roach, was soon
shuffled off, and then Mark Antony, under tho
smiles and wiles of the fascinating Cleopatra
or Jftgypt, began to be factious and unruly.
Octavius, with the gilt of his devoted sister
for a wile, first tried to wean off his colleague
from tho beautiful but dangerous Egyptian.
The experiment failed, and wo know what fol
lowed. Antony was impeached and removed,
under tho constitutional forms of that day,
and the Augustan era next dawned upon Rome
with tho empire. Now, if we may compare
Jeff. Davis and Alexander II. Stephens, of tho
late Southern Confederacy, with Brutus and
Cassius, we may call Congress at this crisis
our Octavius, the Supreme Court our Lepidus,
and President Johnson our Mark Antony, with
the south as his fascinating Cleopatra.
We are just at that point, too, whore wo
may consider tho compromise of General Banks,
or that of Mr. Raymond, as tho offer of the fair
Octavia for the bride of Antony. The rest has
yet to come. Tho battle of Actium, from pre
sent appearances, will be avoided by a com
promise. In this event, the same as if the
nose of Cleopatra had been half an inch shorter,
the fato of the Roman world may be changed,
and the succession may be controlled by An
tony. It is a toss-up whether Congress will
hold ns position and its strength, or inaugu
rate, within the next few days, tho beginning
ot the end ot the party in power.
