In troth the riots seem to bate, b»So wilfully and asalicioasly provoked by, the Radicals themselves. They made an >attempt~to re vive the dead Louisiana Convention of 1801, in order to enfranchise the negroes and dis franchise ex-rebels; but this Convention would not, of itself, have Caused a riot. • The Radicals, however, not ofily illegally called the Convention, and thus created a division in the (Hate government and a conflict be tween the State and national authorities, btit they sent armed'bands of negroes parading around the streets. During these parades the negroes, many of whom werJ intoxicated, crowded and pushed against 'the white spec tators, and the natural result was a street fight. A white mob endeavored to disperse the negro mob, and- the negroes'marched into the building, in which the Convention met and made that their clfedel, firing npon tho people from the windows.

But when peace was declared the Radicals fell, them selves doomed. Their mbmanagenfenV of ^tjeculations, defalcations, deficiencies, comptiomr and jobs could no longer be concealed. They managed, there fore, to raise another cloud of dust by forcing a quarrel with the President and reuewing the oM shouts of “Copperhead and “rebel.” But before the session Of Congress closed they found themselves compelled to adopt President’s general policy and to admit own State. Thus, with ihe fall elections approaching and: the country clamoring for reform aud union, the Radicals saw that a nStesoufce of excitement must be discovered or they would be lost The Memphis riots suggested the means, and, as charge, the was regularly arranged.

After thus disposing of ail their available pro- l>erty he marched them to Estsclaw, across the little Jalapa, across the Itio Ban Domingo to a rancho, to another rancho to Tustapeck, and to the liio Grande, maielring over moun tains, and waning rivers and across deserts until hi* shoes were completely wore out, his strength exhausted and bis patieuce ex hausted, aud his colobfel expectations and aspirations vanquished. Once the prisoners were drawn np to be shot, but the firing of gnns near by inter rupted the little interesting proceeding, and Near the Bio Grande they were' antejtgjncd by Mr. Joseph Sonblet, a Creole from New Orleans, who furnished them food and transportation from his runehsa across the lakes aud arms of Bianco Bay. Figaixo’s band sent them to Gen. Garcia’s command. This latter General gave them transportation to Vera Cruz, where Mr. Lane arrived hatless and barefooted. To say Mr. Lape is don? with Mexico and Mexicans; that he considers that people the repository of all the surplus treachery of the world, con veys bnt a very faint idea of bis disgost with his Mexican experience. He was a prisoner about fear weeks, and in that time marched hundreds of miles afoot in the broiling sun for accepting an invitation to listen to -a speech, front a Mexican General. He. repre sents Garcia aa the only native gentleman he met. Thinks Max is playing out feat. He is sending specie trains to- Verit Cruz daily, illionsof dollars. Thinks chance to maka plenty of fun but little money. He tried it a year and sunk all his means, and has returned to Texas tq stay. r<“t is; irti a'I ir Il l •1 l-ir-ejins SOUTHERN 'in i i :*| t lu-nu will IV..11U..*! lU'l ,t,;t ‘iiiOm , lii'iri i to fe Knickerbocker • fljft \*y\u> oi ii-wiamzin AT.J iiOfls yjn* F# -* .hi* rar. ita If: * 60. -ir■•■til ii* tUi k * 1 »♦ * iJ & ^ York!
