The President and the New Orleans
Riot.
The Richmond Times has the fol-
lowing just comments on the Prcsi-
dents recent order for the snppres-
sion of the radical riot in New Or
leans:
Radicalism, Revolution, Treason
aud Instruction in the Southern
States have just received q death
blow at the hands of the President
His order to the military in Lo,,isi
ana, which We publish elsewhere.
crnshes in the egg the atrociols raii,
cal conspiracy to bring about an i'm
mediate war OF races ut the South.
1t arrays, by an imperative order. tho
army against the Hamiltons. tho
Holdens, the Undcrwoods and all
others IN rebellion against the exist
ing State Governments and laws.
1hcre Is to be no more temporisinr
with the vile incendiaries who have
been lnstigating the negroes to or
ganize regiments, clamor for equal
suffrage, and overthrow, by force, the
pAt''SiAo ACotttC governments.
1t is fact, as disgraccful and in
famous as it is undcniably true, that
these dcmoralized traitors and reyolr1-
tlonlsts have had the sympathies of
not Il few military officers holding i'm
portant commands at the South. OF
this class of radical tools was, bevonl
question, the Federal General to
whose criminal remissness the late
riots IN New Orleans are Justly as
cribcl.
He permitted an illegal assembly to
convene, composed of men whose
objects were the acknowledgements of
n!ne- -tenths of the white inhabitants
OF Louisiana, and the enfranchisc-
ment of the negroes He also allow
Ell the streets Of New Orleans to be
throngcd by shouting, yelling, ma
llSnant negro companies, armed and
ripe for deeds of lawless violence
Sympattiizlns with these negroes and
their vile white associates, he failed
TO Lend timely assistance to the State
authorities. A white citizen of New
Orleans was insultcd and outraged by
n negro procession, and an alarming
TOY at once commenced, which re-
suited IN the loss of many lives.
The Convention, which was the
great first cause Of all this bloodshed.
was one of a series which had been
determined upon by Stevens and his
Southern allies, to strip the Southern
people OF all political ii ghts, and give
them to the negroes and their demo
rallied white associates.
This wicked and gigantic conspi-
racy Andrew Johnson crushed by the
order to which we have referred.
The whole power of the Government
OF the United States is hereafter TO
be employed to annihilatc these
traitors.
1t is providcntial that there is no
dlsioyai Congress in session to break
the force of this crushing blow at in
Surrectlon, rebellion and treason.
Ihe PRESIDENT IS master of the situa-
tlon at last, and the radical satrap who
refuses to obey the order of his com
mander-inchief will now have his
head sent spinning from his shoul-
ders. ''
a splendid opportunity is offered to
all the military tools of Thaddcus
Stevens to indulge in. hcnri Kari.
They must obey their master, or rip
themselves up. The dilemma is pain
fully embarrassing, but should they
elect the 'happy despatch, the
sabres OF the squelched negro COM
panles are at their disposal. 1t is
the favorite weapon of the disgruntled
Japanese officials when they disem-
bowel themselves at the gracious com
mand of the Tycoon.
