1.-THE immediate cause of the terrible affair
vas the assembling of the Convention; the
remote cause was the bitter feeling which
has been growing in this community since
the advent of the present Mayor, who, in the
organization of his police force, selected
many desperate men,g and some of them
known murderers People of clear views
we're overawed by want of confidence in the
Mayor, and fear OF the thugs = many OF
whom had been selected for the police force.
have been frequently applied to by promi-
nent citizens on this subject, and have heard
them express fears and want of confidence
in Mayor Monroe ever since there was
an intimation of this last Convention; and
must condemn the course of several of the
city papers, for encouraging by their articles
the bitter feelings of bad men. | feel
obliged to express my disapprobation of the
merciless manner in which the Convention
was broken up.
at is useless to attempt to disguise the
hostile'feeling that exists on the part of a
great many toward Northern men; and this
unfortunate affair so precipitated matters
that there is now a doubt as to what shall
be the status of Northern men in this sec

engaged in the massacre, or policemen who
perpetrated such cruelties The members OF

ties can mete out ample justice TO the guilty
parties on both sides, / must say that it is
my opinion, unequivocally, that the Circuit
Court Judge, Able, whose course l have
closely watched for nearly year, is a most
dangerous man to the quiet and peace of
the city. The leading meL of the Conven-
ton, r. King Cutter and others have been
his political enemies.

Wells has vacilated, and that during the
late troubles he has shown very little of the
