Revolutionary Radicals.
We published yesterday, from one of the
| New Orleans papers, full account of the origin
and progress Of the recent riots in that city. The
evidence OF eye Witnesses OF reporters for the
press and of the negroes themselves is over
whelmingly to the effect that the negroes
began the disturbance by abusing the police
as rebels Then, when the police attempted to
make arrests, the negroes forcibly resisted
them. The principal fighting was between the
police and the negroes, and every effort was
made by the police authorities TO prevent the
white spectators from interfering against the
blacks. OF course such efforts were in vain,
especially when the members OF the illegal
Convention openly took part with the negroes.
II is in evidence that the blacks were armed
and ready for q riot Dr. Dostie, one OF the
members Of the Convention, who was killed in
the melee, repeatedly declared that "there was
not negro in New Orleans who was not organ
lied and prepared" General Sheridan, in his
official report to General Grant, says that " the
leaders of the Convention were political
agitators and revolutionary men, and the action
Of the Convention was liable to produce
breaches Of the public peace - and he adds
that he had made up his mind to arrest these
leaders as soon as they committed an overt act
These facts prove conclusively that the
radicals are responsible for the whole
afray; that they assembled the illegal
Convention under revolutionary leaders for
the purpose Of provoking disturbances;
that they organized and armed the negroes,
and sent them forth TO pick quarrel with the
police and white citizens, and that the blood
shed which followed was anticipated by them.
and formed part OF the plot by which they
hope TO create q new sectional feeling at the
North against the South, to break up the Plila-
delphis Convention, to carry the fall elections,
and ultimately to impeach the President.
This grave conspiracy Is now being carried
out by the radical organs among us. SO soon
az the first news Of the riots reached the North,
and before any definite information in regard
to their origin could be obtained, the radical
press began their infamous work. They repre-
scnted the fight between the police and the
negroes as rebel uprising. They called the
black rioters "martyS TO liberty" They
asserted that rebel flags had been displa yed
by the municipal authorities. Growing holder
as they proceeded, these papers accused the
President Of the United States Of conniving
with rebels and being accessory 20 the murder
Of loyal men. They forged dispatches from
General Sheridan bolstering mp their state
ments. One Of the radical journals said that
"General Sheridan had telegaphed to General
Grant that the riot was not the result Of mere
mob, but preconcerted and prcarranged plan
OF weeks for the slaughter of Union men"
Compare this with what General Sheridan did
actually telegraph, as quoted in the preceding
paragraph OF this article. and the fun scope Of
this astounding forgery win b. discovered.
