RABUN & CO., AND iu 340 BAY STREET, SAVANNAH, GA. J. W. Rabun, P. H. Wood. April 24 tb, 1866. 38 tf From tl.e New York Times, (Republican.) IRE NEW ORLEANS RIOT AND TIIE SCHEMES OF TIIE RADICAL REV- ©LCTIONISTS. The estimate of the New Orleans ri ot formed upon the despatches trans mitted during its progress is not mate rially changed by the more elaborate accounts siuce received. The local at mosphere had for days been charged with explosive elements. The re-con vening of the State Convention ol JS64 had kindled a dangerous degree ol excitement. The threats cf civil authority to prevent the assembly, by arresting the individuals attending it, had been met by inflammatory appeals to the passions of the blacks. Resist ance to civil authority was foreshad owed at a Radical meeting on Friday ; the negroes were known to he in pos session of arms; and a conflict was represented as impending, if not actu ally between races at least between parties, four-filths ot one of which consist of colored men. A want of consistency and decision on the part of the Governor of the State doubtless complicated the difficulties and inten sified the danger. He had been against the gathering, and in its favor, and the uncertainty ol his position may have led the leaders of the movement to rely upon his support as a counterpoise to the apprehended interference ot the lo cal functionaries. Certain it is that Monday found New Orleans ripe for disturbance.— The occasion for it, therefore, was not hard to trace. While some twenty-six persons, claiming to he delegates to the convention, were mustering in the Mechanics’ Institute, a procession of negroes, more or less armed, paraded the streets; a collision with whites occurred in Canal street, and an at tempt of police officers to arrest the offenders was lollowed by the free use of pistols knives, and clubs. So the riot evidently began, the negroes apparent ly being the aggressors, and the civil power doing no more than was proper ^rmnent f to vindicate its authority. The arri val of the procession in front of the Mechanics’ Institute carried the strug gle into the midst of the convention.— New sources of mischief appeared. A white mob gathered to put down the black mob, and the adjacent streets became the theatre ot bloody strife.— Some of the delegates were arrested by the police, and after much trouble conveytd to headquarters, the officers confessedly doing their duty to protect them from harm by the way. Iu some cases these efforts were ineffectual, and two or three of the more prominent delegates were killed. The negroes suffered most severely, as they always must in similar circumstances; and with passion on botli sides raised to the point of fury, they were the vic tims of repeated and wanton cruelty. About a hundred of them, it is report ed, were killed or wounded; of the whites, about twenty-five lost their lives, and a large number of both were made prisoners. Eventually, the mil itary took possession of the city, aud J connection between the deplorable affair came to an eud. An end only in the sense of actual riot, | for occurrences like these cannot pass away without leaving bitter and pain ful legacies. The responsibility for these occur rences primarily attaches to the pro moters of the movement in which they had their origin. That movement is unquestionably revolutionary. Its aim is to overthrow the constitution of the State by the exercise of unlawful pow er, with the avowed purpose of secur ing the control of the State affairs in the hands of the Radicals. The con stitution framed by the convention called by Gen. Banks in 1SG4 neither enfranchised the negroes nor disfran chised those who had sympathized with or participated in the rebellion. Extreme Radicals conceived the idea of reversing this condition of things. They expressed a determination to perpetuate their influence by giving votes to the blacks, and depriving of their votes a majority of white citizens. With this view a call was irregularly issued for are-assembling of the dele gates to the convention in 1804, al though, with the preparation of the constitution in that year, their func tions properly ceased, aud with the ratification of the constitution by the people terminated all light and power to change its provisions, except in the manner it prescribes. The convention which it was proposed to hold on Monday was, then, utterly destitute of legality. It was an attempt to usurp power hv meaus unknown to the con stitution and irreconcilable with the law ; and there can he no doubt that the armed and organized negroes of New Orleans were relied upon lo over come the agencies which the Mayor ot the city had declared his intention to employ to break up the convention. That the promoters of the move ment were aware of its illegality is, fortunately, susceptible of proof. The New Orleans Tribune of July 24, (quoted in the Tribune of this city yesterday,) in its advocacy of the con vention, uses the following language : “ We admit this convention to be illegal; but at the same time we must recog nize that it has exercised a power de facto, and that it bids fair to still exer cise a similar power.” It adds this remarkable confession. “This conven tion is an extraneous power, which does not. emanate from the whole people and the proceedings of the delegates are hailed in advance as the inaugura tion of a political revolution—‘‘a rev olution more deep aud more important than any of the reforms already at tempted or partially realized:” There are reasons, moreover, for believing that this illegal movement —this plan of inaugurating a political revolution—this exercise of unlawful power by a minority to overcome the majority of the people—was not only known to but enjoyed the approval of the leading Radicals in Congress.— Upon this point we may reproduce some remarks of Mr. Boutweli at the late caucus in Washington, as reported in the Times of the 16th ultimo : Mr. Boutweli, of Massachusetts, HOW HE Tt’RltED IT OFF. The New York Leader thus relates an exploit of Mr. Hind, the actor : From the New Orleans Picayune, (Saturday) Enfolding mt Ihe Plat.

The scene is very exciting. As the brigand works at his fetters the au- dience begins to sympathize with him, j ‘T °* State, who has, we learn, refused to aud whence gets'them off and pain- countersign it, or attach the seal of the r.,11,. a. ?1 n *1 • i -4.

We suppose it to be a genuine docu ment, although it purports to be signed “under my hand, at the city of New Or leans. this twenty seventh day of July, A. D. 186G,’ when the Governor is known not to be within many miles of this place. It also wants the attention of the Secreta- it. One night Hind was appearing, as I said, in this part. He filed his fetters to slow music; he climbed the wall ; he threw oue leg over it; then he waited for the soldiers to shoot him, as any respectable brigand would have done under the circumstances. The soldiers rushed out, aimed their muskets at the ceiling, as soldiers usu ally do, aud pulled triggers, nut the guns would not fire. Hind sat patiently until the promp ter had supplied the soldiers with an other set of guns. But it was of no use. The guns would not shoot. A third set were procured but with no better result. The prompter’s boy had neglected to load the muskets. Hind, like our Adams, decided that something must be done. Paying no further attention to the soldiers, he stiffened himself and fell heavily from the wall, rolled over to the footlights, Wells, on the same ticket, forming with him the State administration, agrees with him in these extraordinary proceedings. The paper was, however, doubtless is sued by the Governor, and is in that res pect a genuine production; but it is one he has not a shadow of authority for issuing, and is of no more legal force than it w ould be if it had been issued by any other per son, in or out of the State. It has been demonstrated, over and over again, that the convention of 1S64 has no legal existence in 1866. It expired by the conclusion of its labors, and the adop tion of the constitution it made. It at tempted to prolong its own existence by providing that it might be recon7oked by the presiding officer. This authority to convoke the defunct body was in itself a usurpation; but it was a conditional authority vested in a par ticular person to be exercised in a single event; and there was no provision made for the intervention of the Governor at all. That person was the president of the con vention, aud that event the failure of the people to ratify the constitution. The raised himself upon his elbow, stared j president of the convention was directed at the audience, choked a little, and exclaimed: “Good heavens! I have swallowed the file.” After this sublime exclamation, all i that remained lor him to do was to i said lie thought it very desirable that I ?* ve u sua i kick® and lurches, die Congress should continue in session for ; 111 1 , g 0CK U old legitimate style, and so end the piece, and receive the con gratulations of his friends.

The Governor bases his proclamation to call it together if the constitution was rejected, it was only in that event that the provision to fill vacancies should come into force in that way. “Then and in that case” he (the president of the conven tion) might call on the proper officers to cause elections to be held. The case nev er occurred; tht constitution was ratified; and the piesident of the convention de cides the body to be constitutionally ex tinct, and the pretended authority, which was a usurpation, lapses by its own terms, and leaves not a vestige of title or authori ty anywhere, or in anybody, to fill vacan cies in the body, alive or dead. . Nevertheless Governor Wells has issued this paper, ordering and commanding elections to be held to fill the vacancies which the ver> -authority he reciter, de clines are only to be filled in the event that the constitution should be rejected.

The proclamation does not call elections to fill vacancies in the convention as it existed when it adjourned in 1S64, but to bring in new members to the number of fifty-one, from parishes which were not represented in that convention at all.

Congress cognizant of the entire proceeding.— They could not have been ignorant of the illegality of the convention or ol the revolutionary purpose it was de signed to promote. As their part of the programme, they desired that Congress should remain in session, with the view of sustaining the com bination of Radicals and negroes in Louisiana, and consummating the rev olution to he inaugurated by this un lawful convention. The good sense ol the majority in Congress frustrated this fe'ature of the scheme, and the terrible scenes overturned other features; but the the Radicals in Congress and the negro-suffrage revo lutionists iu New Orleans does not ad mit of dispute. To them jointly be longs the responsibility of the loss of life that has occurred, and of the dread harvest of strife which cannot fail to follow the seed so broadly scattered on Monday last. The poor negro is a catspaw in their hands, to be sacri ficed, if need be, in furtherance of the effort to entrench themselves in pow er.
