The New Orleans Itiot—Mayor Munroe in

Self-Defence.
____,_

Mayor Munroe of New Orleans sent A message
to his city council, on Tuesday night, intended as a
defence against the serious charges made by Gen.
Sheridan and the military board that has reported
upon the late riot. The mayor asserts that the
riot was caused by the members of the defunct
convention of 1864 and those affiliated with them,
who incited the negroes by violent harangues and
promises of power and emolument. He asserts that
he was ready to suppress the riot, but Gen. Baird
was not, and that it waiproved by eye-witnesses
that the trouble commenced by members of the
convention firing upon the police while in the
discharge of their duty ; and that at the Institute
building the first shots were fired from the win-
dows of the building by whites and blacks. He
repeats his previous charge that Gen. Baird un-
locked the prison cells and let loose upon the
city the white and black ringleaders of the riot, to
make political capital for the Radical enemies of the
reconstruction policy of the President. The report
of the military commission, sustained by abundant
evidence, disposes of Mayor Munroe's statements,
and places him in a most unenviable light. His
testimony as to Gen. Baird is contradicted not only
by the general himself, but by Lieut.-Gov. Voorhees,
Gen. Herron, and Chief of Police Adams. Gen.
Baird did not refuse to assist in suppressing the riot,
but sent for troops as soon as requested, and the
evidence leaves no doubt of the fact that Mayor
Munroe, and those with him in the conspiracy to
massacre the convention, purposely arranged to keep
the troops away until the slaughter was over, and suc-
ceeded in doing so. The commission say in their
report :—" Th e board are reluctantly compelled to dis-
credit the mayor, and to believe that he knew that
not a soldier had been asked for, and that when he
massed his armed police, and held them aloof from
the building, no barrier remained between the con-
vention and negroes and the infuriated citizens, with
whose threats the city was yet ringing, except his
paper proclamation. He states, moreover, that he
knew that the hatred of the mob toward the con-
vention and the negroes was shared by his police.
In this state of affairs, should the negroes assemble
in any number, a collision might be considered in-
evitable, and an attack by the mob upon the con-
vention as sure to follow. Then the police—massed,
armed, and ready—are let loose upon the scene to
quell the riot." The evidence goes' to show that
organisations of ex-Confederate soldiers were con-
cerned in the massacre, especially one called Hays'
brigade, and it was declared by some of the assassinsiie
if all Hays' brigade had been present, not one of tic
convention or their friends would have escaped•
was preconcerted, but they say that

The commissioner have
will rccommer c .
stated this conviction very carefully, but it is doubt-
less true, and it is a matter of serious import. If
the assassins of the 30th of July go unpunished,
New Orleans will be given over to the rule of the
ruffians educated in rebellion, and there will be
liberty of opinion and speech neither for Northern
nor Southern Unionists. If the President has been
put in a false attitude by circumstances,
taken action iu this matter, he can only retrieve
his reputation by decisive action against the New
Orleans rioters and the ' •
conspiring officials upon
the evidence presented him by the report of the
military commission Spril •
