RESTORATION OF MARTIAL LAW. .
We have noticed a'paragraph io a late is-
sue of the New York Post, purporting to%e
a dispatch from Washington, which says
that Georgia is .to be put under martial law,
upon the pretext that the freedmen within
her borders are not secure iu their rights. We
do Dot credit the statement for two reasons.
The first is the non-reception of intelligence
here or elsewhere in the State confirming it.
The second is that the alleged necessity lor
the intervention of mititaiy authority has no
foundation in truth. The absurdity of the
proposition that the safety of the freedmen
of this State can only be secured by the ab
rogation of civil and the'substitntion of mili
tary authority is tnM»«"; fi rtjrg vTT'‘"“*
Uoti. ~ mat There have beenrsbme^enses in
•which justice was not accorded to the negro
we trankly concede, but it is none the less
true that they bfve been confined to a few
neighborhoods only, and for which the entire
people of the State cannot justly be held re
sponsible.
It is therefore unreasonable to suppose
that! Lie Government, in a season of profound
peace, and when there is not the slightest
necessity for it, will abrogate all law, and set
up a military despotism. Martial law is the
subversion of all law and the substitution for
it of an irresponsible and tyrannical govern
ment of force, whose action is as summary
and merciless as its judgments are usually
unjust; and which prostrates the community
over which it is established at the feet of
military power. We have every reason to
believe that the President, whdTTas, by pro
clamation, informed ns that we «* in a state
of peace, will determine, If tha subject is be
fore him, that there is no necessity for this
fearful usurpation of power. He knows, too,
that the outcry against the Southern people
for alleged cruelty to negroes is an invention
of unscrupulous politicians, to deceive the
Northern people and accomplish tbeir own
selfish and criminal purposes.
the Governor defied tie lawfi of the State
and. the Jndipuuy, ~aad called the Convention
together. It met oa Monday last, and tile
police of the city’ in obedfenoe to the order
of the fctvil authority, and aided by the posse
aomitatus, attempted to enforce .the laws.
They were resisted Apflbe Rascals, who
counted upon the armed assistance of (heir
negro allies, and fired upon from theConven-.
tion Hall. So soon as the lawsof the State? ■OonstStution to shat out
were set at defiance, and violence offered to
jl the officers of the law, the police and posse
eomitatns, replied to the fire, carried the HaU
by assault, and tookjhe rump.concern prifo
oners." In the execution of the law" many
fete killed and founded, as might have been
expected, oniso ixciting&aotfesion.
It is thus made clear that the civil authori-
! ties and the people were on the side of the
law, and tbf Wells’ faction, black and white,
were the rioters. The'fact should be stated
afsrrthstthemtffit respectable members of the
THE RIOTS IN NEW ORLEANS.
We have refrained from the expression of
an opinion in regard to thi recant painful
occurrences in New Orleans until we were
more thoroughly informed as to the facts of
the case. It appears from the intelligence
which has been received since the first con
fused telegraphic accounts, that the disturb
ance was not unexpected. It bad been brew
ing for several days, in consequence of pre
liminary arrangements tor the reassembling
of lbc Convention of 1864, at the instigation
of the Radicals, who claim for it the supreme
law of the State. It! will be remembered
that in 18G2 Mr. Lincolu proposed to recog
nize Slates or Congressional Districts, when
ever one-tenth of the inhabitants of said
States or Districts should form a government
or elect a representative to Congress. It
was in answer to the suggestion of the Presi
dent that Gen. Banks convoked a convention
in 1864, representing to the President that a
tenth of the people of the Stqte were in a
condition and anxious to respond to rate call.
This body, which is said to have been com
posed of aliens, .strangers and renegades,
with now and then a citizen of respectability,
met and made such alterations in the exist
ing Constitution as seemed fit to them. A
Legislature was elected under the Constitu
tion, of similar persons in similar ways,
which Legislature ratified the constitutional
amendment. These questionable bodies
served out their terms and were dispersed
by lapse of time, as other representative
bodies were. At the election for the Legis
lature, under the Constitution, Michael Hahn
was elected Governor, and J. M. Wells Lieu
tenant Governor- Governor Hahn was sub
sequently chosen a Senator in foe Congress
of the United States, and thus Lieutenant
Governor Wells succeeded to the office of
Governor.
rtda was the state of affairs when the war
endad. At the inextgeferejdelection a large
party were opposed to these elsrftfo of Gov.
Wells, and OTfehtenraFtot ■
whom they had more confide nee in Mpna-
tioo, but the retained “rebels,” winbtgt o
make any concession that might satisfy the
North that they were disposed to bury the
hatchet once and forever, elected Gov. Wells
for no other reason than .that he had been
acceptable to Mr. Lincoln, was so. to Presi
dent Johnson, and had the confidence of tbe
Northern people, for they could have beaten
him five to one bad they been so disposed.
Notwithstanding this generous course to
wards the Governor, he interposed every ob
stacle in his power to the return of the city
of New Orleans to civil government. He
vetoed all bills enabling the city to hold elec
tions, and, afteiCtboy fere fiassed oyer his
veto, withheld bis proclamation until he im
agined he had drilled the police in a way! to-
prevent any ooa being elected to riiflpe who
was not in his interest. The 1 election'passed
off quietly, and the Wells' candidate was de
feated by a small majority.. j
Then it was that the reassembling of tbe
defunct Convention of 1864 was proposed bjp
toeWenp -pajtt M iii-'
journed two jfcres blldreirlivW diatihet Leg-
islaturea had. been elected under it,
tbeir terms and gone home, aqd because a
Mayor of the city of New Orleans had been
elected not acceptable to Governor Wells,
this body was to be revived for the concealed
purpose of disfranchising the returned sol
dier afid evefy citizen who had sympathized
with the South during tbe rebellion, and to
confer the right of spfflBge .upoR the negro.
When the call was made a few days since
for a meeting, of this bogus Conrentioif,

for attempting revolMofa. #o# this

bric of the State. The Mayor of New Or-

originaUOonveittioq, including Judge Abel,
Judge Datrell Sfid Thomas J. Durant have
openly denounced the illegal acts of Governor
Wells and bfe clique, and do not countenance
tbe re-assembling of this Convention.
We are satisfied in our own mind that tbe
convocation of sucji a body must have pro
duced a disturbance in any chrilinad commu
nity ; ^yet’the affltr is to be deplored, because
of tbe destruction of human life, and that it
may be used as a pretext for the re-estab
lish ment of military law,..«ad the eonse T .
qhem further oppression df the south.
In another column we publish from the
New Orleans Times a fall account of the
scenes of the riot We alao publish from the
Cincinnati Commercial (Radical) a jejter giv
ing the proclamation of Gov. Wells, anil the
resolutions which embody tbe principles ol
tbe faction seeking the overthrow of the
State authorities of Louisiana.
iuc&e our readers will be able to
torrn a correct opinion of tbe causes which
led to the unfortunate disturbance.
In this connection we give the following
from the Picayune of the 1st inst:
Tii* Trus Origin of the Convention
Plot.—There is not an honest or intelligent
citizen at all acquainted with the characters
and antecedents of the main instigators of
tby revolutionary and incendiary plot, which
produced the terrible scenes of yesterday,
who does not know that the real and con
trolling niqiiye of these reckless and un
principled i men was to regain offices and
patronage which they had lost since the
close ol the war, and by means of which
they had-r.-iiseffthetnselves from poverty and
obscurity to comparative wealth and partisan
notoriety. It 9hould not be imagined for a
moment that they were of the class of honest
/anaties, sincere believers in any ol the
doctrines or ideas advocated by them ; that
they had ever before manifested any honest
sympathy or concert) for tbe freedmen. The
few in our city wbo have some claims to
consistency and sincerity, in such ideas and
feelings, lmd no pari in the scheme. The
leading actors were men who before tbe war
were of utter insignificance, and would never
have emerged therefrom in any peaceful,
respectable community. -Many of them were,
renegades from the Confederate cause.
During the excitement of the war they
managed to get the most lucrative offices of
the State and city, and the Convention f
1864 was a prolific source of profit to them.
The Sheriffalty of New Orleans, tbe State
Auditors, the Clerk of tbe Second District
Court (one of the most lucrative offices in
the State), Public Printer, Register of Votes,
•fee., had all been appropriated by the parties
who haring been displaced from these offices
on the return of peace—displaced by their
own Union friends—immediately became
very much dissatisfied with the progress of
affairs, and have ever since kept up an inces
sant agitation about the violence of the
rebels and the wrongs of the poor negro.
The violence' and wrongs which really
troubled them .were their exclusion from
office, and their return to their normal state
of merited obscurity.
This whole Convention revival scheme was
got up by these men. If had not the sup
port of five hundred white men in the city
or State. Unf'ortflTiately, however, the glib
and hypocritical demagogues succeeded in
making a number of the poor deluded, unso
phisticated freedmen believe that they were
their friends, and that it was iu their behalf
and defence that this plot was conceived and
was to be carried out.
And this is the true history of the origin
iriid purpose of this whole nefarious plot to
overturn the Government of the State, and
which shae brought upon a city, which, at the
time of its origination, was perfectly peace
ful, quiet and law-abiding, the horrors of a
bloody riot, and the unmerited humiliation
of martial law.
The Radical Cem.plrmey—The Coming
Cl-rtl War. «,
The Washington National Republican of
Wednesday hat the following startling an
nounce saent : “It will be recollected by our
readers i$Jio hare kept the run of this paper,
that we intimated a suspicion several months
ago that the Radical members of Congress
iad entered into a conspiracy against the
" tjie electoral vote
in .1868 of certain Southern States, and that
shout a month ago we stated I More elearly
what it was. As no Senator, Representative,
or Radical newspaper has presumed to deny
the allegation, we take it to have been true.
Except so far as it has since been modified
by the ratification of the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution, we understand
the Radicals to be working up to that pro
gramme still
“The present anxiety about the President
of the Senate, to succeed Mr. Foster, fjrows
out of the plan to have a man in the Vice
President’s chair, in February, 1869, who
will have courage enough to refuse to open
the electoral returns from all tbe Stales then
unrepresented in Congress. . The letter-
writers say that Senator Wade is tbe can
didate wbo is thought to possess the most
courage for such a performance. It is unim
portant who tbe Senator that shall undertake
that outrage may be, except so far as it may

, ,. . , . , ' . ... ■ . The Times says the armistice did not come a mo*
plot that cannot be carried out with 1m- •
punity. We do not believe it can be con
summated without bloodshed. At all events,
if the electoral votea,of the States thus un

them, the people will find a way to have
them counted, by patting the proper Presi-.

outl maintaining him there, by force if
necessary.
“If we had any hope that anything we
might say would cause the Radicals to desist
lrom this revolutionary work, we should be
seech them, by their love of country and its
Constitution, by their regard for the success
of .the experiment of free government, and
by the dangers of lighting anew the flames
of civil war in our country, to pause before
they go any further. It is a most fearful
undertaking. The exclusion of ten States
from representation in Congress goes to the
utmost verge of forbearance. No further
outrage can, in our opinion, be superadded
to it without breaking the public peace and
exposing the country to the horrors of an
other civil war, in which the people of the
excluded States would have the sympathy ot
the civilized world.
“It will be the first duty of the National
Union Covention to denounce this foul con
spiracy in proper words to the whole
American people, to tbe end that the people
may do somethimg towards averting tbe
catastrophe which is certain to ensue from its
consummation, at the autumnal elections.
We cannot think it possible that the people
at large are so far demoralized as to send
back to Congress many of these conspirators
against the Constitution if they can be made
to understand the nature and enormity of tbe
plot.”
Trouble Brewing on Ahc Eastern Shi
of Virginia.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune saysA company ot tbe
regulars at Fortress Monroe were, on Mon
day, transferred across the Bay to Accomac
connty, to quell the growing spirit of disaf
fection. Tbe militia organization of tbe
above named county, provided by the late
Richmond Legislature, has been fully equip
ped, and. is commanded thoroughly by the
late prominent rebel offleerk By direction
oi tbe sheriff they have been visiting the
bouses of negroes, searching for arms, and,
in addition to taking these, and from returned
soldiers, who have purchased them by con
sent of tbe Government, acta ot petty pilfer
ing are complained of. No Bureau officer
being stationed here,there is no ready means
of redress. The negroes were about taking
measures for their own protection. General
Miles’ iulcrference has been opportune. The
militia muster for inspection every four weeks.
At tbe next muster trouble ia anticipated.
By a contribution 6f fifty cents per man, the

Secretary of War for the number of prisoners
of either side held and that died during the
war, he makes the following report : Number
of Union prisoners Sonth, 260,940 ; number
of Rebel prisoners North, 200,000 ; number
of Union prisoners died, 22,576 ; number of
rebel prisoners died, 26,436.”
Outof 261,000 Union prisoners, 22,500 died.
Out of 200,000 Confederate prisoners 26,500
died. The Union prisoners exceeded the
Confederate prisoners 61,000 ; yet the deaths
of Union prisoners fell below those of Con
federate prisoners six thousand.
Two “Yankee” prisoners died out of over
twenty-three in Southern pens. Two “rebel”
prisoners died out of every fifteen in Nor
thern pens.
The Death of Dr. Dostie.—The New Or
leans Crescent in its account of the great riot,
says: “We saw a gentleman wearing the uni
form of the United States conspicuous among
the gallant men wbo assailed the mob in and

1st District.—Hon. W. B. Fleming, Gen.
John B. Gordon. Alternates, T. J. Mein-
lyre, P- C. Pendleton.
2d District.—Gen. Eli .Warren, Judge J.
L. Wimberly. Alternates, Col. A. S. Cutts,
Maj. Ely.
3d District.—Hon. Hiram Warner, Hon.

Jas. Milner. Alternates T. F. Smith, W. M.
Lowry, H. C. Bartow, D. S. Printnp, A J.

delegates at large.
The endorsement ot' the ticket for dele
gates from the State at large recommended
by the Fourth District Convention, by three
other Districts, viz : the First, Second and
Third, settles the question as to who shall be
the delegates, to-wit: Hon. A. H. Stephens,
Hon. H. V. Johnson, Hon. A. H. Chappell,
and Hon. D. A. Walker.
We propose, however, and we are snre it
will meet with universal approval, . that all
tbe gentlemen voted for as delegatea-at-li
by tbe various conventions, attend aa
representatives of Georgia. Other Stafoe
have more than four delegstes-at-larfe
though only that number of votes can he
cast by them in tbe Convention, and there ia
no reason why Georgia shall not have the
benefit of the matured wisdom of all the
gentlemen named, as they have been selected
and recommended by large and highly
respectable bodies of her citizens.
We feel certain there is no opposition to
this suggestion, and in that event the delega
tion will stand as follows: A. H. Stephens,

The Health of Savsnaah.
We cheerfully give place to the following
communication from the Health Physician
of Savannah, in reference to the reports of
epidemic diseases in that city :
Capt. A. F: Butleb, C. R. B-, Augusta:
Dear Sir: If sRch reports as the one cir
culated, that cholera and yellow fever ex
isted as ah epidemic in Savannah, •• did no
harm, they WOnld be exceedingly . amusing,
portance of reliable information before cir
culating reports calculated to do injury to a
community) On Saturday, foe 88th of July,
a negro nUot of a Florida steamer, arrived
in Savannah, Mid died that evening, and foe
poet mortem examination decided it a case o f
cholera. .... ^ , . .
This case was brought here. One ladyia
said to have died of sporadic yellow fever,
some week' or ten days_ since.- Since foe
above cyyaq none others have occurred. Tbe
bealth of foe city,, previous to the cases and
UdUUl Ol W M
since, is remarkably good* “J®* ,
reports show. In short, I deny that toy
epidemic has existed this summer. Of tna*
epidemic baa existed
