We observe in the Cincinnati Commercial,
Of Wednesday, a somewhat lengthy special"
detailed Geographic account Of the Radical
riot in New Orleans, on Monday night. It
appears so one-sided and unfair that we de-
cline to re-publish IT, 1t will doubtless
grace the columns Of the Radical organs
elsewhere, and be held as a trump card in the
present Radical game. We hope TO be able
tomorrow TO lay before our readers a full
and reliable statement Of the affair from the
most dispassionate Of the New Orleans pa
pers.
In the meantime, we may say, quiet was
restored on Tuesday Gen. SHERIDAN,
commanding the department, wac absent.
Gen. BAIRD, commander Of the post, PRO
claimed martial law on Tuesday. Upon
this Mayor MONROE refused to act at all
rather than under military orders He re-
monstrsted against arbitrarily placing the
military over the civil authority. After
consultation, Gen. BAIRD consented that the
municipal authorities should continue their
functions, and that the military should only
interfere in case it became necessary to aid
the civil power in enforcing obedience to law
and the preservation of order. This is emf
nently the right thing.
Our telegramsthis morning contain tele-
graphic correspondence between the Presi-
dent and Gov. Wells. In this the Cover
nor states that he had nothing to do with
calling the Convention together, but simply
ordered elections to Gil vacancies. He also
states that the President Of the Convention
called it together. According to our infor-
nation, derived from the New Orleans press,
this statement Of the Governor is wholly
false. As stated by the New Orleans pa
pers, the President ofthe Convention, being
called upon to convene the body, promptly
refused to'dO So Whereupon a few of the
members got together, not one-fourth of
quorum in numbers, and with no higher
authority than any pot-house in the city,
deposed the President and substituted another
hOlulndlly IN MS Steau. lhls pretended
President issued a pretended call-and
thereupon followed the rest. If Gov. Wells
cannot state facts officially better than hehas
done, he will soon sink as low in public es-
timation as the Governor of Tennessee
already is. Gov. WEELs telegram about
the Convention is as broad a burlesque as
was about the ratification Of
the constitutional amendment.

ROITMELL-

This gentleman, remaks the Boston Post,
has had long labor Of love, and congenial
association, no doubt, in celebrating his re-
port upon the completely of JEFF. DAVIS
with the assassination Of Mr.. LINCOLN. The
character Of the witnesses who swore on
both sides Of the question, and finally said
they were hired by Government officers to
testify, were men whose characteristics were
not we presume, repugnant to the inquisi-
tors sense Of honor and justice, and who
enabled him to crafty personal inclination
and perform acceptable party service by
founding report upon basis Of perjury
and draw conclusions consistent with the
premises.
Mr. boutwell, is ingenious at inesse.
He crept into the Governors chair by a
trick, deserving Democrats for Abolitionists.
He vetoed bill one day and signed it the
next; an astute way to secure the favor Of
both its opponents and advocates; he came
home from Congress and denounced the Irish
in public speech to secure the favor of his
Know Nothing constituency; then returned
to Washington, and, thinking the Fenian
raid might be used to advantage, was as soft
upon the struggling sons of Erin as a lovers
tones 10 his mistress. He seems at hand
by turns, for any party and for any party
work
A political scavenger's cart is always
ready for such as may wish to cover their
opponents with the ofal Of party abuse, for
a consideration.

The Richmond papers have complained
bitterly for several days that the negroes o.
that city had formed military organization.
of a formidable character, and we're nightly
drilling and making night hideous by firing
pistols, and rendering il unsafe for the
peaceable citizen to walk the streets Of the
city. The press charged that it was a part
Of the Radical scheme for a new war; and
with some show Of reason, as these negro
military movements were fomented and en-
couraged by a few Radical white men.
We are gratifed tolearn that Gen. TERRY,
commanding at Richmond, has ordered that
these proceedings shall be discontinued. II
it had gone on, few days or weeks, it would
have brought about scenes that no patriot
could hesitate to deplore.
1t seems unquestionable that there is a
settled purpose on the part of some Of the
enemies of the Southern people, to produce,
if possible, a war between the white and
black races of the South. They should both
take warning and unite to defeat the wicked
scheme
