Congress-The Closing Scenes. The National Intelligencer, of Monday, gives the following graphic sketch of the clasing scenes in Congress: After midnight in the all night session of Friday and Saturday, a wild scene was presented in the House. During the earlier hours of Friday night, the cus tomary feasts had been prepared by va rious subordinate officers. In the rooms of the postmaster and door-keeper, ex tensive hospitalities had been displayed lavish lunches, with every desirable po table with which to wash down the charming viands. Such good cheer had evidently put the House in a good hu mor, and for several hours perpetrating practical jokes, introducing ridiculous resolutions, making funny motions, pelt ing one another with paper balls, tick ling the nostrils of unconscious sleepers, and playing all sorts of pranks peculiar to school boys on the eve of a holiday, were the order of the night. Even voting by tellers was turned into a joke, the muembers passing in squads so as to defy a count, some of them passing six or sev en times upon the same motion, and vo ting indifferently on both sides as often as possible. At on. time the hall had the appear ance of a vast restaurant and lodging : house. A distinguished member from Ohio, and another from New York, were complacently devouring an early break fast spread in grand array upon their re spective desks. A military member from New Hampshire had dropped his head upon his knees and made the hallresound with stentorian sounds. Others were reclining in their chairs in the embrace of Morpheus. The sofas were occupied. Radicals and copperheads for the time forgot all dfferences, and were curiously _ intermingled, some laid out like bodies at the Morgue, some gracefully disposed in easily attitudes, and others doubled up like victims of a severe cramp-colic. The scene was truly ludicrous, but good humor prevailed, and all business was persistently voted down, except the re ports of the conference committees, the " representation of wbich was the signal for arousing the slumbering heroes of the House long enough to- vote. The Intelligencer gives the rump Con gress the following parting, but well merited, kick to its members: * The rump Congress has adjourned. Its session of eight harrowing months, *boding iHi like an impending pestilence, has at last gone past, and is of the dis -mal things that were. Convolving clouds -have darkened our sky; the lightnuings of a fell revolutionary purpose have * flashed across the gloom, but the bolt was not descended, and the wild sweep of the storm of civil war is, thanks to God, for a time arrested. This Gongress will ever be most con spicuously infamous in the category of -the worst organizations having govern mental functions that have dishonored ~add shamed enlightened society in all the -world's history. Its dispersion from the * Gapitol to widely separated and remote -. dealities is a welcome relief to apprehen sions arising from the bodily presence of concentrated mischief, such as in the ma terial world takes to itself the form of the "plague that stalketh at noonday." Terrible Rlot In New Orleans. ,'THE RADiCAL CONVENTION BROKEN UP. * Ew ORLEANS, Juiy 30.-The Radical -Convention attempted to convene to-dpy, -which caused a terr'ble riot. * - The convention mt. at 12 o'clock, twnty-six membors present. Large n umbers of negroesformed in procession, : with drums beating, and marched to * tion was in session. The most intense excitement prevailed. Indiscriminate fir - ing occurred in several streets, and a number of negroes were killed, and some whites wounded. The police surrounded the Convention building and endeavored to maintain order. On the meeting of .the Convention, the populace surrounded the building, and an immense mob of negroes were both inside and outside. The police and people finally became masters of the situation and the buildmng was closely besieged. The police attempted to enter the building, when they were -fired upon. The firing then commenced from the mob outside on the mob inside. And finally the parties inside surrendered in a body. Some fifty or sixty were killed in the fight. Ex-Gov. Hahn was dreadfully cut up. Dr. Dostic and John Henderson * were killed> The President of the Con -vention and members thereof are being -- arrested one by one and confined. A -- - ittle more order and quiet now prevails. -pursuing thieir usual business avocations. :The prisoners arrested yesterday were -released by General. Baird. The casual ties sum.up 30 negroes killed and several policemen dangerously wounded. Dr. - Dostie, rejported mortally wounded, is dead. LATEe.-The following has just been received, and will be promptly executed;: WAsH!NGTOI, July 80th, 1866. * To AYNREw S. HERRoN, ATTiORNEY GENE RAL or LOUIsIANA: You will call on- General' Sheridan or whoever may be in command, for a suffi - cient force to sustain the civil authorities * in s,uppressing all illegal or tanlawfal a ~ssemblies who usurp of. assume to ex ereise any power- :or authority with -out first having obtainied the consent of the people of the State. If there is to be a Convention let it be composed of delegates chosen from the people of the whole State; The people must be first consulted in reference to charges in the organic laws of the State. Usurpation will not be tolerated. The laws and Constitution must be sustained and thereby peace and order. (Signed.)' ANDREW JOHNSON. No further disturbance apprehended. On the 28th nlt., Mayor Monroe, of New Orleans, issued a proclamation st.ating that "the extinct Convention" of 1864 proposed to meet that day, and exhorting all good citizens to keep the peace and refrain from gathering about the place where "-the extinct Convene tion" was to be held. Notwithstanding the telegram from the President, Gen. Baird expressed his determination to prevent the civil authorities from inter fering with the Convention. A later dispatch says that the r-ot originated in the tripping up of a white man by one of the negroer in the pro cession. The police supposed that the former had been struck, and in rushing forward to arrest the assailant, were met by a volley of fire-arms, bricks, &c. The general alarm thus occasioned led to the bloody tragedy which was subsequently enacted. The telegrams in relation to the affair are, however, very confused, and, without further details, it is diffi cult to understand fully what lives have been lost, or upon whose shoulders the blame of this bl-ody outbreak ought to rest. At the last advices the riot had been suppressed. Before it broke out, Mayor Monroe asked Gen. Baird for assist ance, which was promised, but the mili tary did not make their appearance un til the riot was over. Gen. Baird has since issued a milita I ry order declaring martial law. The city was quiet and the people had re tired to their homes. A man in Indiana, who had been in declining health for months, recently took a heavy dose of quinine, which caused him to vomit violently. In the process of vorniting he expelled from his stomach a live snake eleven inches long, and of the thickness of an ordinary pipe stem. IHosea Merrill, of Pittsfield, was mar ried last week, aged 82 years. He gave his bride $30,000, she being somewhat yonger than himself. HIe was unable to gtotof his carriage, and the ceremony was performed while the parties were sitting in the carriage. The Ne w York Herald's City of Mexico correspondent says that the ,reorganiza tion of Maximilian's army is progressing finely. Am~erican citizens are pressing their Consuls, for nationality papers *on ac count of the impending draft. By .the latest from Paris, we learn that the long, streaming ribbons that ladies wear on their bonnets and necks are called "Follow me home, sirs." A PLANi TO RESTORE THE MAIL SERVICE OF THE SOUTH. o the people of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi; Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Florida and Texas. Having recently returned from the South, I am well aware of the great inconvenienc es to 'which the Southern people are subjected on ac count of the lack of niail facilities. This is, to a very great extent, owing to the oath which con frators are requirea- to comply with,there being bu.t f4w men at the South who can take it. Hay ing conferred with the proper authorities, (and obtained their approval,) I find that this difficul ty can be obviated and the mails established upon every route at the r outh, and at the highest rates ad missible for the people of either the N orth or South. Being a National Union man. (late of North Carolina", by which I mean one that i.. alike opposed to the heresies of the Extremists North and South, I can take this oath and thus form the connecting link between the Southern people and the United States Government. This I propose to do and establish mails on every route at the South now destitute of them as follows: Any person who is desirous of becoming a contractor will address me at once, stating the route or routes for which he wishes to become contractor, (stating the extreine points to be connected, which, of course, should be on some route heretofore established.) I will.then con tract for such route or routes in my own name, and let the parties have them at a discount of 2} per cent, on the annual amount for ?barrying. the mails on said route or routes which will be about 25 cents per mile for a weekly, 50 cents for semi weekly, and 85 cents for a tri-weekly mail-pay ment to be at the close of the quarter. This arrangement will secure the route to the sub con. tractor subst antiall the same -as if it were his own contract, and frqently at a better price than could be obtained in the usual way where there is so much competition. . Persons confiding to my care may rely upon fair dealing. All accepted bids will be entered upon the books of the Fost OffBce Department, where they will be open for inspection. Persons when making application should send a guaranty signed by at least two gaantors.* The guaranty should be certified to bya post master or a judge of a court of record.t Apphi cants can, if they desire, obtain blank forms, printed by the Government by addressing either the undersigned or the 2d Assistant Postmaster General, Geo. w. McClellan, who will take pleasure in giving all the information that may be desired. The proposal, [a form of which it is not neceE sary to give here,] will be filled by the under All communications relative to the foregoing should be addressed to BRYAN TYSON, - Box 1000, Washington, D.
