DISTURBANCES IN NEW ORLEANS.

The telegraphic intelligence from New Orleans
realizes the apprehensions, long INDUCED, that the
people Of THAT city would be driven to some violent
and revolutionary resort in order to terminate the
bloody rule of the know-nothing rufians, who have
for the last three years maintained reign of terror
over that unfortunate city. A recent movement of
the respectable and orderly citizens regardless of
political divisions, to elect ticket of mayor, re-
corders and aldermen has precipitated this amenta-
ble-we might perhaps say, inevitable appeal to
force. The whole city government, including po-
lice of several hundred men, has been in the hands
of the very worst class of runians, criminals, and
refugees from justice, who have been supported,
protected, and melted by uuprincipled demagogues
and peculators upon the city treasury and virtually
invested with the control of tho property and lives
Of the citizens Murderers, professional fighting
mon, graduates of the penitentary, were appointed
to Offices Of great responsibility to Judicial
posts All attempts to hold these parties RESPONSE
BILE for any Of their violences have been prevented
by the interposition Of persons in high places.
Judges have been assaulted and menaced iuries
waylaid and threatened, witnesses bought or spirit
ed away prisoners released by violence, and every
act of lawlessness committed which could mark a
community in a state of barbarian chaos. 1t is to
get rid of the terrible incubus that the people-the
orderly and peaceful citizens-have been driven to
organize vigilance committee. They will doubt
less meet with violent resistance, and we shall
await with much anxiety further intelligence of the
movement We need not say how much such events
are to be deprecated and condemned by all good
citizens.
These are some Of the fruits of tho party which is
seeking to enact in this capital of federal Union
those terrible scenes that have inflicted such incal
culable damage and woe upon other communities.
