• sought elsewiiere than in the denial of die
right of free discussion. If the conven.
tionists had confined themselves to that
the'riot would not have taken place. The
. Ittraost latitude - in that respect had been
frilly exercised by the parties in the city
of New Orleans ; and the. New Orleans

colored persons, and advocating the ut
most Radical doctrines, had, during near

ivell as others, that the presence on the

their convention would assume this au
thority, and exercise it against the known
wishes of the qualified electors of the
State. It has been said by some that they
—intended to submit their action to the
people. But to attribute such a design to
the crnventionists, in any candid sense of
the term, is to stupify their leaders. The
submission of - their action was to have
been to the colored population, and to
the nrinority of - the white citizens not ex
cluded by the ordinance they ititended to
adopt prescribing the qualifications of vo
ters. In plain terms, they intended a re
volution. This,is evident from their own
testimony before the committee.
Judge James K. Belden, a - member of
- the convention, testified as follows: •
6,650. 'Had you any knowledge of the
purposes for which, the convention was
called, and of the manner in- which the
conventTnn intended to proceed?

the principal feature in which they de•
sired to change the constitution.

had been loyal to the government.

Chsrles Smith, another member of the
Convention % however, testifies that it was
the intention to submit the action of the
Convention direct to Congress, and not fo
the people in an} form. Iris testimony is
INS follows:

The dezeript;on.of government sought
by the coriventionistq is best described in
the language of Rufus King Cutler, an
other member of the convention, and one
.of its leading spirits. It was to have been
a negro government, with the white pop
ulation _held in subjugation. Ile. testifies
ns follows :
-410. Suppose that the 'political power
nod influence of whit hes been the con,
and leading class in _Louisiana
should alone he taken away, leaving the
common people to enjoy the elective
• franchise along with what you call colored
- suffrage, would that answer the purpose
as a basis of as loyal State government in
Louisiana?
A. 1 think it would_ We have from
thirty 'thousand to thirty.fivithriusand ne
ve and colored. voters in Louisiana. and
about - twenty-eight 'thousand to - thirty
thousand White votc.ra':l • C'ould_have
all the negro and colored men bivoteivith
the UnioAmen. and that; with• the dis
franchisement of the leatliti rebels: would
give the pecendeney, cif the Unionists, and
I think they could mustainlhemselves. I
think within Sufficient military force
enforce these provisions; we would estab
lish 'a government which . Would .be Sub-'
stantial, and we could sustain it after its
establishment.
It is said by the conventinnista that they
did not expect to sct.upon the measures
.before them on the 30eil of July, because
it was not ptobablethat a quorum of mem.
bent would be, present on that day—in
point of fact, only abouttwenty-five inatt;.

ever, testifiea ';hat in case a quorum could

tention to w ait for the election, but to
proceed at. once to husinece. His tcsliing ;
ny on this point.
Q. Wha t dittyou expect to do on that
day? _
A.. Our intention WAS to go to_ bobtuea.
,and to pup- the conathlitlonal amend

and to disfranchise iebels"; that is - what
we intended to do.
Q. . Did you expect to do that on the
30th of July?
A. We intended to do it as soon as we
got organized. _
Q..'Wharde you mean by - organizedf

A.
.
A. If we had a quorum I think we cer•
tainly would have proceeded.to busine;a ;
but I think it was generally believed that
we would not have a quorum until after
the election.
The c.onventionists were, for some time
before the 30th of July, in the habit of
using defiant and threatening language,
and .gave out that they would carry out
their projects against all opposers, even if
it led to bloodshed and revolution. Na
thaniel Paige,_ formerly a correspondent
of the New York Tribune, and ,who in
that capacity went to Louisiana with Gen.
Banks, testifies as follows:
I advised one or two gentlemen, finding
that Ahey were going to revive this Con.
venttoth not to participate in. it I told
them I had been traveling pretty exten
sively through Louisiana, and I thought
there would he trouble and bloodshed.
They said, whether there would. be blood.
shed or not they were determined to re
vine the Conventiim. The names of the
gentlemen I could give you.
Q. What are the names?
A I conversed with a ynung gem tlem in
by the name of George Wm-mouth, with
with whom I occupied rooms in New Or.
leans ; also, with Dr. Dostie, who I saw
frequently •in .Our rooms • also. _ Major
Pim:ably. who is now at Galveston, Texan.
Many of these gentlemen were, frequently
in our r00m . .. -My judgment had always
been against the Convention, and I op
posed it as far as I had any ability to• do
so. although' 1 bad no influence in politics
at all.
Q. Do you remember the names of any
others ?
A. I remember that of John A, Leenrid
breKee, the present United States
Marshal for Louisiana, and quite • a nuni
her of gentlemen who were in the habit
of meeting there.
• John Anderson, Jr , a prominent mem
ber of the Convention. bad a conversation
with Jo.. F. Dick, to which the latter AV
lifted as follows :
As to the exact words he used. I now ,
,
forget : but be said the convention woul
meet, that they were backed by milital
c
authorities, and that no power in ear h
would stop them from meeting. I told
him that it was a very strange position,
that I thought the Convention extinct,
that its functions had been fulfilled, and
that there was no more necessity for its
meeting. He gave me to understand that
things-had turned un which made it pro
per to reassemble the 'Convention, end
that. the-military authorities were -going
to assist them. I told him I thought it a
revolutionary -movement.. He .replied,
c'lr iB a revolutionary' namtarnant. but we
are in - revolutionary tunes" • I said it
would surely create. disturbance. He re
plied that he did not anticipate anything
else.
Colonel Eugene Tisdale, testified that
Dr. DoAie, with whom he was intimate,
would frequently meet him in the streets,.
and address him in such language as this
"Colonel, we are going •to rule here we
are going to have a Convention, and we
will disfranchise every rebel, and give the
n aarnpa. afsiu.ffra.ge. and.sponint
These remarks, the Colonel adds, he would
make in the presence of people passing,
evidently intending that they should hear
them.
James Lvare, one of the witnesses, tes
tifies as fellows : On the morning of the
30th I was going to my business, passine
through Commercial Place, about - 01. I
noticed two gentlemen in conversation in
a very excited manner; I do not know
either of them; one of them, the larger
of the two, said : "We have everything
arranged, and within five minutes after
the signal is given. every judge, mayor,
sheriff, and - constable will be hurled from
their seats ;" said - he. "Damn them ? we
will have none but loyal -mrn 4 to gnvern
the city."
Such ti course of conduct and conversa
tion could have lint one result—an alarm-,
cad and embittered state of public feeling.
When therefore the negro population
were assembled in mass meeting in the
midst of the city and appeal to for aid In
the language heretofore described, it is
not surprising that a state of feelings
should have possessed, the community like
that described by General- W. P. Brewton
in big teitimony, when he says : "I think
the bell& wag entertained by nine nut of
every ten of this-city that if they went on
there would , be a general utilising of the
negroes, and that their wives and chil
dren would be murdered in their beds."
No imputation could be made against
this witness, who entered the Union army
as a priviiite tar the beginning of the war,
and was a Brigadier-general when it clos

THE CIIARACTER AND ANTECEDENTS OT LEAD-
INC CONSTITUTIONISTS
It is to be taken into account, as an ad
ditional source of irritation, that the an
tecedents of some of the most active lead
ers of r thet Conventionists were not such as
to makis them the accepted standard of
Tiroloniltn 'and loyalty in that locality.
.The proscription threatened by such men,
through :the action of the Convention,
must have been peculiarly galling to those
to be affected by their proceeding..
Judge trowel% the ostensible leader of
the Constitutionists, being the president
of the Convention, had been a confeder
ate office-holder, And as such had taken
the oath of alleciance to the rebel gov
ernment, the exact phraseology of which
will be found on page 379 of the testimo
ny.
p • Ex-Governor Michael Ifab'n, promineni
leader end'orator of the Convetitioniats,
bad also been in the early days of I • re
bellion a confederate office-holde , and
had taken a Similar . oath of allegiance_
(See p 389 of the testimony.) He bad
&so ofliciated.as orator in presenting.con
federate flag to rebel regiments when
about to march against the Union armies.
Rufus King Cutler, perhaps the • most in
fluential of the leaders, had distinguished
himself in equipping at his own expense a
rebel company, known in the Confederate
army , ni the "Xing Cutler Guards."
W. R. Fish, a membet of the Carment
Lion, had been Secretary of the "Southern
Rights Secret A.tociation," a secession so :
eiety, organized during the confederate
and exercising es,,ionage over this

secessionists who voted to hang Mr. Flan

NEW ORLEtNt4 RIOT
We give up a large portion of our space

has been a never ceasing topic of discus

ed. The hue and crysetup over this riot

We charged at the time of the necurance
that it was mainly caused by the violent
