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.

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 > By Telegraph. l NJGHT DISPATCHES. LATER FROM EUROPE. FROBABLE'" RENEWAL OF THE ^ARMISTICE, c i of Hostilities between the Italians and Austrians* THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE REFORM LEAGUE MEETINGS. ADVANCE IN COTTON. A Peace Conference Agreed Upon. Faether Point, August 4.—The steamship Mora* vian, from Liverpool, 26th, via Londonderry 27th, has arrived. London, July 27, A. M.-The armistice betmaao Prussia and Austria expires to-day, and will probably be renewed, but there is no intimation as yet of this having been done.

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 lawfully excluded will elect a candidate for President who shall not be elected without them, the people will find a way to have them counted, by patting the proper Presi-. dcui elect info me jutecuuve .n.. 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.

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 around the State House.” “Dr. Dostie, a member of the Convention,” says the same paper, “was mortally wonnded, and his first wound was from a soldier, a Massachusetts gentleman who proclaimed that (be white should be the ruling race of this continent.” Second District.—The Convention for this District met at Americas on Wednesday and appointed as delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, General Eli Warren, of Hous ton, nnd Judge J.

Until the question has been decided, no further meetings will be held, except on* on the after noon of the 30th of July by arrangement with Govern" ment.

The Hungarian Legion of prisoners, which had been sent to Southern Silesia to iuvade Hungary on the ex piration of tbe armistice, consists of nine thousand men, with cavalry and artillery of its own. On the 23d the Italians had a fight with tbe Austrians near Bargos, which town was taken by assault. They also carried Lavica by assault.
