The New Orleans Massacre
Full Account by an Eye Witnesß
Chary,s ry . Cowardice awl Imbecility
A New Orleans correspondent gives the
following account of the recent bloody riot
in that city : On Friday evening a mass
mooting was held at the Oonvention build-
in:; echatoics, Institute), and defiant
speeches were made by Cutler, Dr. Dostie,
Judge lliestand and others. Next day the
city was all aflame. The papers reported
that incendiary speeches had been made, and
it was in everybody's mouth that Dr. Dostie
and King Cutler had advised the ncgroes to
arm themselves. on Monday, and stand by
the Convention that was going togive them
suffrage. drive off the police, shoot, stab and
destroy their enemies.
1 was present at the latter part of this
meeting, and heard most of the objectiona
ble speeches, but heard nothing of this kind.
The demand for negro suffrage was the great
feature of the evening. Threats had been
made that the Convention should he broken
,up, and its friends (not negroes as such, but
in general, " its friends") were urged to be
present and protect it from violence. There
was some exeiterwmt and much enthusiasm ;
but neither the speeches nor the tone of the
crowd struck me as more intemperate than
is USUIII at large political meetings.
About 11 o'clock at night, however, a
mixed procession, whites and negroes, had
been formed, which marched up Canal and
St. Charles streets. It was interrupted once
or twice, and negroes, breaking from the
ranks, had chased those trying to make the
disturbance out of the streets. After this,
I was eold by a prominent member of the
Convention that he know there was reason
to expect a riot on Monday, and that if it
came, the rebels would sull'er.
All day Saturday and Sunday, men talked
of this revolutionary convention that was
to meet on Monday, the inflammatory
speeches and the riot we were sure to have.
Pistols were purchased in large numbers,
and everybody seemed preparing. Sunday
night the rebel Mayor of the city, Mr. J.
T. Monroe, sent to the Dry Tortugas by
Butler, elected to the Mayoralty by the re
turned rebel soldiers as a reward for his
sufferings, and especially pardoned by the
President that he might enter upon the du
ties of his office, called a private meeting to
consult. The President had been telegraph
ed that the convention was about to assem
ble in defiance of the courts, i. o. in defiance
of the charge . of Judge. ?Abell (a potty
Judge hero) to the grand jury, to the effect .
that their assemblage would be a violation
of the oath of office they had taked in 1864,
and should be punished as perjury. The
President had replied that the military
would sustain the civil courts. Conceiving
everything to be now in their own hands,
the rebel authorities thought they should be
able to " settle the convention and the
niggers."
Monday morning everybody talked about
"the riot that was to come off to-day."
Some business houses wore never opened- at
all, :or- ware nixie -oeleck, 2
streets wore full, and nearly all the residents
were armed. Tho assembling of the Con
vention seemed to be awaited as the
for the expected outbreak. Respectable
rebel citizens earnestly advised their friends
who wore strangers in the city not to he in
duced by curiosity or any other motive , to
go iito the hall of the Convention, 'and as
surV4,,tli,im,thit they know there would bo
:bloodshed.
By twelve o'clock, Canal and .Comnion
streets, between- which the Mechanics; •I.xi=
.
stitute is , situated, were crowded.' Men .
gathered in excited gropes lithout ; thq . Akicirs
of the.houses and at the crossing,: and; the

,wanted but n spark,. that any . accident, at
any moment, might 'farnishc,
.At this Unfortunate juncture, a procession'
of negroes, .preceded by a band of music,
came marching up from the French quarter.
Thocrowd in front of the Institute cheered
them heartily as they approached, to Which
they responded, amid the curses and jeers of
of the whites on Canal street. What next
transpired •no man can now undertake to
affirm. The megroes say a politerhon wan
tonly fired into their coltimns. The police
men say that the negroes raised the cry of
kill the d—d rebels," as some of them
were attempting to make a needful arrest.
Still others say that a white man, acciden
tally or intentionally jostled from the curb
tone by a member of the passing procession,
fired at the offender and drew out a return
shot. It is certain that in a moment or two
shots came to bo exchanged, and both ne
groes and whites began those surges to and
fro, rushes around ',the corner and rallies
down the strclet again which generally mark
the inception of a street fight. Ono or two
negroes fell ; the policemen -continued to l l
discharge their revolvers into the corpses, "I
and the sight of blood inflamed all alike.
Meantime, that which happened inside
the Mechanics' Institute, which had thus,l,
become the nucleus of the opening riot—the
only available point of refuge for the negroes,
and the central object of attack to. citizens
and rebel soldiers in the uniform of police
men, may be more definitely stated.
Within a few moments after the first shot,
balls began to strike the building ; and un
der the impulse of excitement, the members
of the Convention all sprang to their feet,
On the appeal, however, of some ono cooler
than the rest, they resumed their seats, de
termined to await with dignity the expected
attack. Presently a rush was heard nt the
door below, and then the hasty tramping of
many feet on the stairways. Every ono
supposed this to be a body of the police,
though it is not know to have been a party
of nog roes mining from the heavy fire sud
denly poured down the street from the citi
zens and policemen at the corner of Canal.
Momentarily therefore expectkg a rush of
policemen into the Hall to arrest the mem
bers, Oic Convention deliberated what to do.
After few words, the proposition of Mr,
Alfred Shaw, ex-Sheriff of Now Orleans,
and a gentleman of character, prevailed.
Ile was therefore deputed to inform the po
lice that inside the Hall no resistance would
be made to any legal officers, claiming the
right to make arrests. Witn this message
he passed out from the door which he wills
not destined soon to enter aga.n.
With a white handkerchief in his hand ho
crossed the outside passage and started down
one of the winding staircases. By this time
a strong body of the police had driven the
negroes from the front of the Institute by a
sudden dash, and a dozen of them, gaining
the building, were rushing up the stairs,
when they met Mr. Shaw coming down.—
" Kill him," " There's Shaw, the scoundrel
shoot him down," "Let me at him," were
the first exclamations, and those below sought
to crowd up till they could see to sins at him.
Others said, " No he has a white handker
chief; take him to the station house."
Through the hubbub and scuffle Shaw suc
ceeded in making them understand his mes
sage. " That's right, let them surrender
p'eaceably," sr& some. "Kill that d—d
scoundrel Shaw," said others. Meantime
two policemen, seizing him firmly, and
another forcing a way through the crowd
.and keeping assailants off, they succeeded
in reaching the pavement. Here a mingled
mob of citizens, policemen and negroes— the
latter mostly in the side alleys or in dour
yi rds—were exchanging shots. A rush was
made at Shaw,the moment he appeared in the
custody of the policemen, and the fire was con
con traled upon him. Preseutly a ball struck
him in the shoulder, and there was every
indication that in a moment or two longer
he would certainly be killed, when the
policemen, dodging around a corner, hustled
him off to jail, when, without charge or
commitment, :wounded and exhausted, he
was thrown into a cell.
The firing continued abotit the Meehanics'
Institute, spread toward the river along
Canal and Common streets, and even broke
out in the square back of the Institute, along
Corondelet. The fighting' negroes did not
scatter in this way, but the mob followed
every prisoner whom the policemen led off,
and attacked on sight every negro found in
the vicinity. The body servant of Humph
rey Marshall was thus pursued and fired at
along Carondelet, in his master's sight., A
moment later, another unarmed negro ap
parently belonging to ono of the adjacent
offices, seeming to think the street no place
for him, began to run. In an instant two
policemen and a score of citizens were after
him, the polieemen, firing as they ran.—
Vivo shots 'wore 'flied, and .the, negro '.foll,
ipiereod - withthroe.
But this was only the by-play, and scenes
like this were occurring in a dozen different
laces . The Mechanics' Institute was still
the central point. Tho police and citizens
had possession of the lower story' and the
staircases. The Sergeant at arms had barri

down; members of the Conirention wounded
•and arrested, and , the scenes !of , vici,lonee in
the streets intensified tenfold aS .lpersons
began to emerge from the buildi4.
Standing at this moment hythe highest
verandah Victor's Restaurant, looking
directly down the street to the Institute, was'
a late Major General of the United States,
service. He saw four policemen bear out
the seeming. lifeless body of Dr. Dostie, an
earnest, sincere, perhaps fanatical member .
of the
. Gonvention, a prominent Free Mason.
and a gontlernan against whose private char
acter no charge Was over made. Ms head
hung down till it almost dragged on the
pavement ; blood was streaming from his
wounds and making the path by which he
was borne. Around this inanimate body
the crowd rushed and blasphemed or laughed
and cheered. At last a cart was reached,
and theAody was thrown in, when a more
detertnin'bd rush than any previous one was
made and the rioters broke through. Before
the cart could be started several blows had
been rained upon the bleeding body, and the
General felt sure that as cn6 man's band
descended he caught a gleam of a knife.
The, news flew among the rioters that Dr.
Dostio was killed and it was everywhere re
ceived, many squares off even, where people
had scarcely became inflamed by the fever
of the massacre, with expression of satisfac
tion and positive delight.
Meanwhile, returning from Canal street
the verandah of a friend's rooms near the
corner of Common, when great cheers came'
up from the Institute and a dense mob crowd
ed along ,Common street toward the St.
Charles Hotel. As they approached we
could plaice out four policemen with cocked
revolvers,and in their midst,with hat knocked
off, with coat nearly torn from his shoulders
with blood clotted over his head and about
his neck, with citizens rushing at him,
striking at him, shouting "kill him," partly
limping and partly jerked along by the in-
member of the United States House of Rep
resentatives, ex-Governor of Louisiana, and
United States Senator elect from the Legis
lature of Louisiana—the man to "whom
Abraham Lincoln confidently wrote that
"negro suffrage might yet in some hour of
peril, help to keep the jewel of liberty in the
family of freedom I" In ten minutes he was
lying bleeding and feverish, in a cell of the
city jail! " lie was more scared than hurt,''
is the cool comment of the "leading journal"
this morning. .
A little later came the only stroke of the
comic in all this sad tragedy. The boaster
of the Convention, the hero who would do
and dare and die for his new born love for
negro suffrage, had not yet been found. Ar
rayed in spotless white he had been seen to
enter the Chamber before thb opening of the
Convention, but since the firing began. no
eye of negro had boon cheered, no heart of
Convention member nerved, no soul of po
iceman inflamed by the radiant sight of R.
King Cutler. The last member had been
driven out of the mob, and the last negro
stabbed ; the chamber was occupied only by
the police, the other rioters and the dead ;
but still the hero was missing. At last a
bright thought struck a policeman. He ex
plored the chimney. Its throet'wus narrow,
and King Cutler's.body was largo, and so,
instead of being quite swallowed up, there
ho stuck I In a moment is nondescript fig
ure cause up the street, between policemen
and rioters, a11.,50 amused that, for the. mo
ment, they lost their appetite for murder.
Republican or not, King Cutler was black.
His white hat, jammed dowmover his black
ened nose and cars, like a half painted , ship,
was alreadroolored, fore and aft. His white
coat hung down all black behind. His
sparkling shirt front presented a fitting
stripe to correspond. The waistband of his
voluminous pantaloons—but alas, that was
where he stuck ; and so must Ii
Tho convention had been thoroughly bfo. ,
ken up an hour ago—if that wore the object
of Mr. John T. .Monroe and his rebel sol
dier policemen. The negro procession had
boon scattered, its leaders killed, and dozens
of innocent negroes struck by the same hap
less fate, if that were their object. But still
the authorities and the citizens continued the
riot;
An innocent negro, carrying a roll of cot
ton samples under his arm, quietly passed
the St. Charles Hotel. Pour hackmen
Pounced upon him, began beating the fright
ened non-resistant, and collected a crowd.
A policemen rushed up, and with Out h word
of inquiry, discharged every `barrel of his re-,
volver at the prostrate' negro, who kept cry
lug, "Arrest me, Pve done nothing ; arrest

lowed him to escape, on the express ground
that he "guessed be wasn't a Federal soldier
tater all," This occurei in sight and hear
ing of at least one late General of our army,
who stood on an adjacent upper verandah.
It was nearly or quite four o'clock. There
were artillery, cavalry, and black and white
infantry within an hour's call. There was
a General of the United States Volunteers
in command, and, during the unexpectedly
prolonged,,nbsence of Sheridan in Texas, he
was in supreme command. But ho was not
merely a General of volunteers. He was
ono of the highest officers in the Freedman's
Bureau. His uniform made it his duty to
maintain order , but his special position
made his special duty to see that the freed
men under his direct personal charge were
not cnuselessly butchered by paroled rebel
soldiers. Yet he did nothing I One late
Major General of, our volunteers sought in
vain to gain admission to his closely guard
ed house. Two others persisted till they got
in, and demanded the cause of his amazing
inaction. He didn't know that there was
anything requiring his intervention I Not
to know that was to be an idiot. Not to
act upon it was to be an eunuch.
Finally, as it would seem, he was bullied
into acting. Passing down Carondelet with
a friend, as late, I should judge, as between
four and five, we came out into Canal, just
us the mob was shooting down a helpless,
solitary negro, who was vainly attempting
to dash across the street to a place of
,safety.
Turning from the devilish sight, we saw /
loward the river, beyond Canal street, the
fluttering of single guidon. And in a mo
ment Mower, a soldierly General, was there
with a hastily gathered little staff; He'rode
across by the Clay statue ; but that moment
the mob shot down another negro. In an
instant a section of artillery—regulars, I
should think—dashed up, and as the pieces
were unlimbered and wheeled upon the mob
a panting negro saved his life by darting to
the guns.
My companion and myself " moved on.',
In less than a square a regiment in blue—
thank God for the color, at last came up
Canal street on the double quick, and obli
quing from side to side, left no rioters be
hind the artillery.
There were a few s traggling shots though
the evening, but that was the end of the
riot.
A Union ex-Major General walked - down,
an hour biter, to demand of Mayor Monroe,
in the name of common decency and hu
manity, the release from the stifling jail
where these wounded men still lay, of Gov
ernor Hahn, Sheriff Shaw, Dr. Dostie, A.
P. Field and the rest. Ho was met by the
smiling Mityor with the inqury if the
" thing hadn't been pretty well done?"
While he was getting his question Ht 1y an
swered, in walked Cavalry Kautz./
" Is this Mr. Monroe?"
" Yes, sir."
I um dirootod, ofr, to relieve you of any
duties of Mayor of this city, and assume
command as military governor of New Or
leans ! Yourself and other `officials will
await and obey orders.
hi a moment ho received his first order.
It was to accompany an aid, and see to it that
the members of the Convention and other
innocent citizens should be instantly re
leased.

Mr. Nasby has a Pleasant Dream.

CONFEDEILIT X ROADS. (WICh

July 28, 1866.
My dreams, uv wich I hey bed many
duorin the past five years, hevent been overly
pleasant—indeed they hey taken more the
shape of hideous nitemares than anything
else—Linken, Grant, Sherman and armies
dressed in blue flgurin exlensively.tberein.
But lust nito I lied a vision which more than
repaid am for all I bey-suffered heretofore.
I bed bin at the Corners assistin in inaug
uratin a new grocery. The proprietor wuz
a demoralized Ablishnist who bed sold likker
surreptitiously in Maine among them Ab
lishunists, end consekently hed no Weft uv
the quantity a full grown Kentucky Demo
crat rood throw hisself outside uv. His en
tire capital with wich he proposed to com
mence biznis Wuz one barrel uv new corn
whiskey and some other necessaries, and ez
a starter, to make the acquaintance uv his
customers, he, announced ono free nite, and
invited the entire community. His invite
'shun was considered generous and we met
in the same noble 801.4 than the confidon
and ignorant man desired, in fact, for when
ive got through; in' about 88 minks; there

certainty that I wood at last hey that Post

Singler 'tis what slender ties holds us to
earth I
The Secretaries wuz appointed, and then
committees-two on each from the South
and ono from th'e North—wich wuz consil
laitin. I wuz put on the committee on cre
denshals, Randal, the Postmaster General,
being the Northern Representative. We
lied our hands full. There wuz a rush made
on us, so many claimin seats that we locked
the doors for two hours to decide what stood
be the proper qualification for a place. Fi
nally we agreed to admit ez delegates—
FROM THR NORTII—AII Dimocrats whp
had bin arrested by Linkin's minyuns—all
officers who had rosined rather than to serve
in a Ablishun war, and all Rebublikins who
coed show a commishun ez Postmaster and
sick, and (this wuz considered necessary to
guard agin imposition) who wuz willing to
taro his solemn oath that he wuz a stedfast
bleever in ovrything A. .Johnson lied did
sonco Janooary, '66, (coptin sum small items
with wuz specified,) and all he wuz doin,
and all he mite do.
FR()NI THE SOUTH. -All who cood show a
officer's commission in the late confederit
army—all who had received a pardon from
A. Johnson, and all who hed lost their Dig
gers in an unholy war, wich inclooded all
present.
This decided upon, the work was done.
The delegates took their seats and the great
work of Reconstruction the Yoonyun com
menced. Garret Davis wanted to make
a speech, and a hall was hired for him in
another part uv the city, and fifty or sixty
German emigrants who coodent understand
a word uv English hired at a shillin an hour
to act ez audience. Five kegs uv lager-beer
a flooid with I hey been told Germans tie
to, bed bin rolled in the hall, and most uv
cm stayed seven hours and a half.
In the reglar hall there wuz n comming
liiY wuz edifying. Doolittle wood
make a motion and Vallandigham wood
second it. Forrest made a speech and Ran
dall endorsed it. Seward and John Morris
sey were on tho Committee on Resolutions,
and Dick Taylor and Cowan were occupyin
one seat. The resolutions were brief and to
the pint. They resolved that, Whereas
there hod bin a season uv unpleasantness in
our national history wich, owin to circum
stances over wich nobody hed any control,
extended over several periods uv ninety
days each; and, Whereas the unpleasant
ness resulted from the two sections viewin
things each from its own stand pint; and,
Whereas both parties wuz highly in the
wrong, partikelery the North; and Whereas
the South, with a magnanimity unknown
in history, bed thrown down her arms, and
wuz ready to resoom her old position in the
Government, nay more, to take more than
her old share in the trouble uv runnin the
Government : therefire, be it
Resolved, That we are for the Yoonyun
ez it wuz.
Resolved, That the persistency tor a sec
tional Congress in continuitm the unpleant
ness which has to some extent disturbed
our system uv Government, in legislatin
while eleven sovereign States is unrepre
sented; is pizen.
Resolved, Tnat we view with alarm the
manifest determination uv Congress to cen
tralize in theirselves the law-making pow
er uv the Goyerntnent, and we pledge our
support to our worthy Chief Magi,t rate, who
is a second Jaioh, in his effort to check
their centralist° schemes by vutoin all
they may do.
Resolved, That all traces nv the fate on
pleasantness may be wiped out es soon ez
possible, we demand uv Congress an appro
priation for plowin over all the fields on
wlch the citizens uv the two sections who
wuz indoost by their respective Govern
ments, so-called, to carry muskets, cum
together, particularly them on wich our
Southern bretheru got the worst uv the dis
putes that onsoood.
Resolved, That Congress shood, ez soon
ez it convenes, change the names or Mur
freesboro, Gettysburg, Atlanta, Vicksburg,
et settry, to rich names ez. §mithboro,
Brownsburg, Jonesburg, et settry, that the
serious onpleasantneseee with occurred at

Resolved, That the citizens uv the South
ern States wich lost their lives and legs and
sich in the late'unpleasantnesses wioh hez
bin referred to ought to be placed on the
pension rolls the same oz the NOrthern citi

4. Congress shall not dissolve the Union,
nor the the white men, nor the States—nor
shall loyalists" like Toombs, for instance,

5. Slavery is abolished, but no nigger is
as good as a white man.
6. 11 a State wants to wallop its niggers,
said niggers not being as good as white mon,
who's to hinder ?
7. Each House has the right to admit
whoever it pleases, buts if it don't admit,
whom we please, then each House is treason
able.
8. Every patriot should frown on such

9. The war being over, and the Rebels

The Copperhead Congressional delegation
of Pennsylvania have declared themselves
in favor of the release of Jeff Davis without
a trial. In Congress, a few weeks ago, the
following preamble and resolution was sub
mitted to wit :
"Whereas, It is -notorious that Jefferson
Davis was the leader of the late rebellion,
and is guilty of treason, under the laws of
the United States, and
Whereas, By the proclamation of the Pres
ident of May, 1865, said Davis Was charged
with complicity in the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln, and said proclamation has not
been revoked nor annulled ; therefore be it
Resalred, As the opinion ..f the House of
Representatives, that said Davis should be
held in custody as prisoner and subjected to
a trial according to the laws of the land.
Thu veto on the adoption of the above
stood yeas 105,--nays 20. In the list of nays
we find the names of Ancona, Boyer, Cof
froth, Glossbrenner, Randall, &rouse—all
Pennsylvania Copperheads and all Clymer
men of course. It thus appears that Clymer
and his party leaders rue committed to the
release of Jeff. Davik without a trial. Let
the fact be fairly tindersi:oolL
GENERAL SUERMAN • k3 VOTE.—IL will be
remembered that Governor Oglesby, of Illi
nois, at the meeting at Sefton, in Egypt,"
on the 4th inst, called Gentrul Sherman a
Democrat; to which the General replied
promptly : I never was a Democrat: I
never voted but once in my life." Tho
Zanesville (Ohio) Courier tells this story of
the General : While on the grand march
to the sea, n fellow-officer one evening asked
him for whom he was going to vote. The
general replied that ho should not vote ; ho
had voted but once, and then he disfranchised
himself: Such looks of wonder and incred
ulity as this produced may be imagined, but
the General, paying no attention thereto,
proceeded : •• I never voted for a President
but once in my life, and that was for Bu
chanan ; and I am since satisfied that any
