the most favorable statement they could for
their side, but their account utterly fails to
show that any body i responsible Tor the terri
BILE slaughter Of the s0th of July except the
Monroe party. They argue the 'illegality of he
convention; yet this may 10 admitted without
helping their case. They cay the negroes and
come whites friendly to the CONVENTION were
armed, yet they virtually admit that they were
only armed to prevent the mob, of which Mon
roe was the head from disturbing the conven-
ton. They admit that they promised General
Baird that they would not attempt to interfere
with the convention except by his consent, yet
they do not pretend he gave his consent, or
that they even notified him of their purpose to
dispense the convention. They do not dare
say that the violence was commenced by the
friends Of the convention, but dodge behind
such dishonest evasion as this 1t is not our
purpose to argue the question of the facts as to
the actual commencement of the collision, and
fix precisely the mode and manner, and where
It started. We will, however, remark that the
collision soas brought about by the armed mob
sustaining the convention" 1t is evident from
this careful language that Monroe knows the
riot commenced by bis armed mob, and
Il by the friends of the cow entioE. There
was no need of sustaining a convention which
had not been assailed. If tn. rebels of New
Orleans had let the convention alone, the con-
vention and its friends would not have troubled
them. But these rebels, without authority
process of law, but with the countenance aad
connivance of Mayor Monroe and Pres.den
Johnson, armed themselves, and with the police,
sought the collision with the colored people !
and having brought that on, then rushed upon
the convention and dispersed it with bludgeons,
knives and pistols. And Preside mt johnson
promised the leader of these infuriated assassins
and murderers, the help of the federal military,
to suppress meeting which had peaceably az
sembled to consider the question of remodeling
the constitution OF Louisiana. We do not
wonder the President was shortly so ashamed
of his part in the Transaction, that he caused
one of his confidential advisers at Washington,
a Louisiana rebel, to send this telegram home
"The officers and people of New Orleans
must, IN every respect, deport themselves in such
a way that the stain of the recent occurrences
may, as much as possible, be wiped out. The
President demands this.

The Detroit Post very sharply says: Z" The
President, while ago, was loud in asserting
that Union soldiers should receive the offices
at his disposal. This accounts for his appoint
ing gallant Phil. Sheridan to the office of po-
lice captain under Attorney General Heron,
of Louisiana MajorGeneral of the Unit ed
States taking his orders from fourth or fifth
grade kenel State officer, is a mode of honor
ing Union soldiers for which President Johnson
under General Grant, Sheridan cannot but feel
proud of his appointment by the President on
the staff of Attorney. General Heron"

Henry Clay Dean of Iowa, who like Wood,
will not attend the Convention as delegate,
made himself obnoxious to some New Eog-

states in general, and as he was about becom

unexpected. That State voted by larger ma

candidate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals
Hobson himself is a supporter of Johnson's pol

not rebel, and therefore his antagonist who
was a rebel was preferred.
