OFFICIAL BEPoRT ON THE NEW ORLEANS

We lay before our readers this afternoon a
communication addressed to the President by
the Lieutenant Governor Of Louisiana, the
Attorney General of the State, and the Mayor
OF New Orleans, in reference to the great riot
in that city. As many of the accounts preyi.
ously published were ez parte. we presume
that all who wish to be correctly in forned on
the origin and progress of the unfortunate
affair will attentively peruse this official state
nent, which is clear and concise. and details
IN dispassioned manner many i'm portant facts
not heretofore published. 1t goes to show not
only that the President did all in his power to
prevent this disturbance, but that the press OF
New Orleans, excepting those of radical pro-
ehvities, exhorted the people previous to the
riots TO maintain good order and refrain from
any interference with the convention what
ever; that the civil authorities sought to take
measures beforehand TO prevent difficulty
and were willing 10 Cooperate with General
Baird, and in consequence of an agreement
with that officer, but q small police force was
sent 10 the vicinity of the hall in which the
convention met, the General having indicated
that he would have a military force presen,
and that there was no intention to prevent III ..
convention from holding their meeting and
any warrant from the judiciary for the arrest
OF the members waS TO be submitted to the
military, who had been ordered by the Presi-
dent not 10 thwart the convention.
Some parties, however, to carry out their
political programme, were determined to
thwa-: these efforts 20 keep the peace. with
what result has been seen. In spite of all
attempts 10 shift the responsibility tor this sad
affair, it will be fastened on those but for
whose incendiary haIapgues it would have
been prevented. Of course, when the disturb
anoe was commenced. bad passions were
unloosed on both sides. Attorney General
Heron, who signs this statement, was a major
general In the Federal army during the late
war.
