The Riot.
The following brief urarnary will in
form oar readers, at n glance, ibn cant*
of lb* lata riot in Nnw Orleans :
1. In tbe year 1804, under Federal
patronage and support, a portion of tbe
people of Louisiana, within the then Fed
eral military lines, held a convention by
delegate*, for tbe purpose of altering the
Constitution of tbe State to conform to
the changed circuesstancee in which they
were placed, and to set en foot a perma
nasi loyal State Government, in contra
diatiuctioa to that eziatiag at the lime.
2. Thie the convention accomplished,
providing for a general election of State
officer*, from Oovernor down?where
upon, having don* ell that it was called
upon to do. adjourned. It had spent its
force, and was no more a living, vita!
hod7 than that which adopted the first
Constitution of the State.
3- Wbsa the Congress proposed the t
pending amendment to the Constitution,
it was Jteugbt necessary bv the Louisiana
radicals to convene this defunct convetu
tion to retifv if. ! ?e well known that,
if thia dead body had bad life, it would
have been unlawful for it to act in the
premises, sines the amendment was *z?
press I y refsrrsd to the Legislatures of the
States.
4. The president of the convention was
asked te call it together, hut refused.?
A few of the members, hut not a quorum,
met and tried to re organize bv the e!ec.
tion of a president. This failed, for lack
of nnmbere to give it respectability.
S They next called upoa the Oovernor
to order elections to fil! vacancies The
Governor was absent and could not be
found for several weeks, hut fioallv turned
up. and consented to order the elections
as demanded*
0 Tn the meantime, ^udge A Kelt, ef n
Mew Orlrisi rnnrt bavin i ?*r!n?;? !
diction, in charging the ernnd ^ory, in
strue'ed them that the members of thin
ramp convention were acting criminally,
and were each and all liable t? indictment
and punishment, under the lawa of the
Plate.
7. For thi* charge, in hia official ca
pacitc, Judge Abell waa nrrea'ed by the
military authnritv, and kept oyt of prison
onlv by firing the required bail.
8. The tisurpera, to help forward their
atrocteua scheme, procured, a few days
ago, a unirersal suffrage meeting, in New
Orleans, prinoipelly composed of negroes,
al wbieh inflammatory a peaches and pro
eeedinfa war# made and had. This pro,
auead treat irritation, end led te the in
lerference of the Lieutenant-Governor, in
eppoeition to the Governor, to the dee
patches to the President and to iba pro*
clamation of the Mavnr, as given.
