Speech of Thaddeua Steren The Duty of Congress C onfiflOfttion and Suffrage.(Special Correspondence of Chicago Bepubliesn.) , Bedfokd, Psv, Sept. 5. IIon.Thaddeag Stevens spoke at this place on the 4th iost , before a meeting which was) assembled mainly to discuss State issue and State candidates. These topics he said be must leave to younger men ; and, as ( it was his first public speech since bis return from Washington, he would dwell upon national affairs, with the Tiew to tbe benefit of country rather than or party. He pronounces that our triumph in war brought with it frreater difficulties than even the war itself When the war ended the work of reconstruction would have been easy had all the departments of the Government confined themselves to their legitimate spheres. He says : "Notwithstanding the large majority which the Bepublicans DominaJlv bad, the unexpected apoeUcy of their chief perplexed some; and tbe fightniegs which were hurled j at them from the White House shocked others. Tbe jesuitiam, the imbecility, the imnndenee. and radiation shown by the Cabinet ministers perplexed, and for awhile paralysed, Congress reluctant to make waf upon the Executive of their choice, they sought every expedient to avoid it But when it became inevitable, they acceptea it with a courage and unanimity which does great eredit to their bravery and honesty. There were a few tremblers, and a few apostates ; but they were so few that their absence in the next Congress will not be no ticed, and is very desirable ' He believes that a portion of the property of the great criminals of the rebellion should have been applied to pay our national debt, to pension our soldiers, and to pay the damages sustained by loyal men in the South. A few, and but a few, should have sunered the extreme penalty of the law, for our law is a mild one, and mildly administered. Tbe blood of half a million ot our citizens would hardly have been avenged, but peace and good will would have spread over the whole la-;d. He clearly and powerfully shows how the ambition and folly of a few weak and dishonest men have reversed this whole picture, in these words : "All the powers of our Government are lodged in three departments, whose duties are wholly distinct from each other ; neither can encroach upon the other without disturbing the harmony of their workings and endangering the liberty of the country. Tbe Constitution says: 'All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Con gress of the United States,, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Represents Uvea." Tbe President is the executive, but has no legislative or judicial powers. The judiciary must adjudge all controverted legal questions which arise ; that is their whole duty. "By the Constitution the power to create and admit new States and to guarantee republican forms of Government belongs to Congress alone Neither tbe President nor the Snnreme Court can do either, or anv Dart thereof. So are the decisions Nowell-informed man doubts it; no honest man de nies lL "Hence it follows that to Congress alone belongs, not only the right, but the duty to rebuild the States; to give them republican government, and to admit them into the Union, if tbey should be judged, fit, to re sume the privileges which tbey renounced and sough I, to dee troy. The President, as Commander-in-Chief of the army, had a right, after the conquest, to appoint military Governors and hold them in military subjection until the law-making power had an opportunity to act Instead of calling Congress together or awaiting their regular session, he usurped all the duties of the law-making power, and proceeded to give constitutions and civil governments to the conquered States, directing in the most arbitrary manner the terms of their organic laws, and controlling the actions of their bogus conventions. Notwithstanding the change in the number of free citizens produced by the war and the acta of Congress, he confined the rights of citizenship to the rebels, excluding all the new-madeloyal citizens. He distinctly informed the rebels that they had lost all the rights of citizens of the United States; but when tbey had adopted in convention his governments, he d eclated them admitted into tbe Union, and directed .Congress to admit their representative, expressly declaring that Congress had nothing to do; but that each House separately waa simply to judge of the regularity of the electiona and qualifications of the members who presented themselves. He said that he had admitted the States. He had declared their relations to the Union restored. He bad guaranteed republican forms of government to the disorganized States. Of their status, of their right to representation, Congress had nothing to say. When it is remembered that all these acts are merely legislative ; that the Constitution places all legislation in Congress; that tbe President forms no part of the legislative power, it must be admitted that tbeae sets were the most high-handed usurpations that lawless ambition could exercise. If submitted to by Congreee, this Government would no longer be s Republic subject to the wili of the people, hut a despotism, in wh'ch one tyrant would rule a nation of slaves. A Congress elected by the people to resist armed traitors were not disposed to cower before the usurped sceptre of a single apostate I say a single apostate; for the scurvy, mercenary, apostate Republicans who have since joined him are so few and despicable that tbey need not be included in any enumeration of political forces. " The constitutional amendment proposed by Congress changes the basis of representation so that the vote of s white man in the North will be equivalent to the vote of s white man in the South ; whereas the President's plan, in opposition to the amendment, is to continue the old apportionment nnder which a white man's vote in the rebel States counts nearly as much as two white men's votes in tbe free States. He credits Congress for what it has done in the matter, but holds that it was derelict in its duty because it did not go further, saying : But our crowning sin wss tbe omission to give homesteads and the right of suffrage in the rebel States to the freed men who had fought our battles. We have left them the victims of the rebels, who every day shoot them down in cold blood. At Memphis, forty-eight were murdered under tbe direc tion of tbe municipal authorities, and not s man prosecuted. Behold the awful slaughter of white men and black of s convention of highly respectable men, peaceably assembled in convention at New Orleans, which Gen. Sheridan pronounces more horrible than the massacre of Fort Pillow. Even the clergyman who opened the proceedings with prayer was cruelly murdered. All this was done under tbe aanction of Johnson and his officerholders. It is the legitimate consequence of bis '001107.' " Farther along in bis speech be reverts to this subject: "As I said before, tbe great issue to be met at this election is tbe question of negro rights. I shall not deny, but admit, that the fundamental principle of tbe Republican creed is that every being possessing an immortal soul is equal before the law. Tbey are not and csnno't be equal in strength. height, beauty, intellectual and moral cut- 1 ! a. a 1 . e ture, or social acquirements; uiese are accidents which must govern their condition so- cording to circumstances, But in this Republic, . the same laws must snd shall spply to every mortal, American, Irishman,. African, German, or Turk It is written bv the I finger of the Almighty Lawgiver, Ye shall have one manner of laws, as well for the stranger as for one of your own country ; for I am tbe Lord your God.'": . .' . The wonderful aeathins? sower of the "old man eloquent" appears to the best advantage it) bis discussion of the address of the Philadelphia Johnson Convention : "Here is thsir fundamental article to which all the others conform. Mr. Raymond's address says : . r Tbs Constitution of the United States is today precisely what it waa before tbe war, the supreme law of tbs land, sny thing in tbe constitalioo or laws of sny . State to tbe contrary notwithstanding. And to-day also, as before the war, all powers not conferred by the Constitution oa theGeoeral Government, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the several States or the people thereof. - "The United States acquired no new power; no rights either territorial or of civil authority which it did not possess., before the war broke out.'. ' :. o-'t . "This atrance. wild, and wicked doctrine waa aMuimoaa!y adopted by 'toe eonclave M What! Six millions or rebels wsanaa re nounced tbe Constitution,' who haamurder-ed five hundred thousand of . our citizens, who bad loaded tbe nation with . debt, aqd drenched it with blood, when conquered had forfeited no-right; had lost no jurisdiction or civil authority; and these conquerors had acquired none, because there was a Constitution which, while they obeyed, protected them, but which they had discarded and torn to pieces by war I Was there ever before a human brain frenzied enough to engender such folly ; or a human front brazen enough to atter it ? No principle in national taw ia clearer than that when belligerents inaugurate a war which is acknowledged to be a public war, jll the former obligations, treaties, asd compacts between tbe parties become null and void ; and after the war are to be renewed or repudiated as the parties agree, or as the conqueror decrees If either party ia utterly subdued, his life, liberty, snd property are at the disposal of the victor. Why does not the Emperor of Austria say to the King of Prussia, I lay down my arms, and all things will remain as before the war.' The Prussian would answer, 'You are as big a fool as the President of America, or the traitor'a league. No sir. The war has changed everything old treaties and leagues have ceased Venetia is no longer yours; Hanover and tbe Duchies are mine ; and beside you must pay the expenses of .the war, 45,000,000.' Who denies that this is tbe law of nations, except the advocates of treason, who deny our right to make them pay the expenses of the war? Tbey cry out against confiscation for crime, as if it were inhuman God willing, I shall try it again, and see if tbey do not pay part of tbe cost and 0 amagea of the war before they help to make our laws. Tbe Constitution unchanged ? Then slavery exists; then all the provisions with regard to the rendition of fugitives from labor remain then every traitor has a right to ait down in Congress, as the representative of three-fifths of all the slaves heeide the whites. We can easily forgive the amiable and facile author of the declaration, as be is no lawyer; is totally ignorant of the laws of nations or the laws of war; but what shall we say of those able jurists who sat by and acquiesced ; unless we put it unoo the same ground that one of the ablest snd best of them did when he advised to take a false oath to get a vote and then to break it" Mr. Stevens owns that some of bis doc trines may be unpopular, but be says : . . "But popular or unpopular, J shall atand by it until I am relieved of the unprofitable labors of earth. Being the foundation of our Republic, I have full faith in its ultimate triumph. I may not live to see it I may not be worthy of such happiness. If it is to be finally defeated, and the hopes of man thus extinguished, I pray God that when it happens, I may be insensible to human misery ; that my senses may be locked in cold obstruction and in death.' " The territorial atatus of the South, the right of confiscation, an i impartial suffrage, are the elements of his creed. He adheres to them with unshaken independence of thought, and will return to Congress to ad vocate them with unflinching determination There are no disguises in his speech. As it is given to bim to know the right, be de clares it; and we find reach to admire in the boldness and profound ability with which be maintains it,' Is there treason in his course? Has Andrew Johnson justly mentioned, in the same breath, this man and Jeff. Davis, as subjects for hanging ? Has Andrew Johnson ever in the course of bis life uttered a frac tion of the great truths which Tbaddeus Stevens builds as safeguards about the Union and the Constitution ? We have reason for congratulation that such Radical opinions as his may still be freely proclaimed everywhere among us, and that the people are not to be corrupted by the insidious suggestions of an apostate r resident. Anecdotes of the Presidents. A correspondent of the New York Evening Pott writes as follows from Washington : . Of the multitude of anecdotes that old residents here incidentally tell of the various eminent persons of the past generation who 10 their day were 01 familiar presence on our streets, including the recupants bf the Presidential chair, but few though, of course, tbe best get into print. 1 can add so little to tbe stock, that I would not think it worth while to print tbe most of the fol lowing, but for the interest which attaches to an incident, however trivial, if true, where a public character seems to be stepping from bis niche 1 of history to take part in the story. It is possible tnat some of the fol lowing may have been published before, though I venture to otter them as new, aucb as they are : WASHnrarox. My only contribution under this great name will be thought hardly reverentenougb for tbe most august and excellent of men A venerable lady, still living in Maryland. was a little girt when, in I7s9, Washington was on his way through Maryland to New York where he was to be inaugurated first President of the United States. He traveled in bis own carriage, a vehicle of great ele gance, drawn by a pair of milk-white horses. with every ornate appointment in perfect keeping On approaching Baltimore a re adjustment or everything became necessary, an-J for this purpose the party baited at tbe house of this lady's father. Washington personally superintended the work, of wbicb a part was tbe blacking of tbe horses' hoofs, after the manner of boots, sgreeablv to the fashion of tbat day for fancy while horses. Washington ia known to have been ex tremely fastidious, snd more irritable about his horses than anything else in tbe world The groom shockingly botched the job, soil ing the clean white legs or the animals, and Imperfectly polishing tbe blackened hoofs. Washington was provoked into anger, and seising the brush would bave knocked the poor fellow op the head with it, bad he not made bis escape, ine explosion or temper. socompanied with "strong" language, was so unlike a little girl's prepossessions of the great Washington, that she has all her life Long been accustomed to say tbat she " saw greatness when nobody was by, and denies with earnestness that anybody has ever lived who was sbove getting into a passion about dressing bis horse s hoofs. . josm aoAita. It is well known how averse John Adams was to signing bis name There seemed no reason for what wss, perhsps, a mere eccentricity ; although it has been suggested that the simple, round, Doyisn nana be wrote made him ashamed of bis signature. . But that solution is more unaccountable than the fact After his accession to tbe Presi dency be was greatly annoyed by sutogrsph- j fanciers, whom be was aeeuatoraed o put off with severity. A paper of large size and anmn fanciful ckarutAr had haxtn brOUfjfet wST him by a personal . friend . who . beggedj thj favor for another person, of his signeisre, and kw mnrna tu( hmA nmnnkl 1tia rjTOntiSS I of it He was sitting at his official, tablef with a multitude of routine 'doeaaaants awaiting bis signature."

After a brief aod stately colloquy, tbe dignitaries were in the act oi separating, when Mr. Jefferson's servant, unable longer to re strain himself, cried out to tbe astonished diplomat: "You mus'n'i (link yoursef 'buv us on dat fine hois o' yourn. ' Mas' Tom got finer ones n r dat at borne I MOKROS Some years ago, at a Burns festival in Cin cinnati, it was declared tbat the beat . pun ever made waa made by President Monroe Some surprise was expressed, in which I shared, tbat Mr. Monroe should have been a facetious man The story runs something tbus: ' - A Scotch servant employed about the Executive Masiou, who had a broad accent and a good fund of cold hnsoer, had a charged, by certain persona who had pro jected a monument in honor of somsthing or aonieuuuy, wiid message 10 an appropri ate official, wbo, it seems, waa not tbe f resident But old Sandy sought the Chief Magistrate, in whose personal service he was, and conveyed tbe communication to him. Mr. Monroe instructed him to address the message elsewhere,, snd thereupon Sandy, persist ng like a Scotchman, said: " Your honor, it is about tbe monumtnl" "Well, Sandy," replied Mr. Monroe, drawing himself up erect and symmetrical, "don't you see, I am not the tnon you meant " ADiaos. Mr. Madison is said to have had an aversion to riding in a carriage, complaining especially of the great elevation from the ground of the seats, in those days of tremendous barouches He would have been delighted at our modern "rockawaya" Frequently on the street Mrs Madison would be in the carriage, while be would be on foot upon the sidewalk, or out in the roadway, alongside, keeping up a conversation. Once be had stepped into a store to make some purchases or the like, and after a long detention he returned, but not observing that his carriage had passed, and was wait'og a few doors further on, he entered one which stood opposite, with his customary downcast look, wiihout seeing who were its passengers. Tbs famous British Orders in Council were an anxious and gloomy subject and news which bad just arrived absorbed bis attention. A lady who occupied the carriage, knowing bis person, was too much embarrassed to speak, and he sat down entirely unconscious of her presence He is known to have talked freely to Mrs. Madison, whose worth and talents are belies xi to bave often aided bis counsels Suddenly, from bis meditations, be exclaimed, uO, Dolly! what shall be done about these Orders in Council ? " Here tbe lady at his side spoke, upon which Mr Madison started with painful agitation, and after a speechless moment abruptly left the carriage. He immediately returned, and with bis blandest courtesy and good humor apologized, to the great relief of the lady. JOBS qUIICT ADAMS Mr. Adams was a Mason, but declared bis belief that the oath of secrecy of tbe order should be abolished, in a letter wbich was extensively published during tbe period of political excitement knownas the anti-Mason movement A person well known to the country bad the impudence, at a dinner party given vy Mr. A dams, while President, to publicly ask him whether he (a Mi son) was friendly to the order His rare tact and peculiar talents were well illustrated in his reply. Hre, gentlemen," said Mr. Adama, "is a very pretty question of logic for you Let us se-. My answer will be both true and false. It will be perfectly direct, and if so, satisfsc lory. Yet my friend will know no more than he did before, asd tbat canaot satisfy him This is a pret ty mess of paradoxes." u How can that be, Mr. President? " Why, General asks whether I am a friend to the Masonic order." " Yes," said the company. "Well, this is my answer: I am friendly to the order aforesaid ; but if I were unfriendly, I should say that I was friendly." " Thst is neither one thing nor the other," said tbe General. "Yes, it it both," answered Mr. Adams, amidst tbe laugh of the company and the chagrin of the General JA.CKSOV. When the Treasury building was in progress of erection it was the practice of General Jackson to come out of an evening and watch the work. He would often be seen sitting on the blocks of stone in the awkward attitude produced, especially in a person of long legs, by drawing the heels near to tbe seat, bringing the knees towards the chin. His bat would lie by his side, a large red bandanna handkerchief protruding from it, while in his mouth tbe inevitable clay pipe would be tranquilly puffed. The laborers frequently exchanged with tbe President the smoker's courtesy of a light ; and, once accidentally breaking his pipe, he did not scruple to borrow thst of the nearest Irishman. Once while tbus engaged, he overheard an Irish laborer, a short distance off, cursing 1 1 infecting with loud vehemence the fearful JiT the Sternal an imprecation which come to be associated With himself. a some impudent dollery in the man, be sent to inquire into the trouble The Irishman promptly laid down his shovel, and boldly advanced to the grim old General" What are vou swearing about sir?" ' "Plase yer honor, yer ioimies put tbe same bad words in your own mouth, bad luck to thim, says Martin O'Rourke that's meself, yer honor's humble sarvent" "Well," said the President, " if I swear by the Eternal, that is bad enough ; it is no reason why you should" "Sere may God forgive ns both tbe Eternal ia no bigger to the least of-Pat Roo-ney's great grandchildren than to Gineral Jackson bisself 1" ' The company present laughed, but it ia said that Jackson looked very grave. - He kindly gave tbe man a dollar and sent bim off forthwith to his work.

"John," said olJ Colonel Jack Dade, who bad just entered the White House, having hastened to Washington upon the accession of his old friend to the Presidency, "I want one of your offices." 'Well, Jack," replied Mr. Tyler, "which "fflfe do you want 7 You recollect your education was neglected and that you never work. Work? Never, sir,"' said the dough tv cdonel.

The President laughed heartily, but informed his friend that there were no sine cures within his gift But Mr. Tyler, know ing wnere to nnd tbe solid parts of the eccentric colonel, made him warden of tbe penitentiary, a position in which be is cred ited with having been a really good officer. Tbe excellent a lories of Colonel Dade's ad ministration of the penitentiary business have been, I believe, all published already.

It was but the passing scheme of officious demagogues fn connection with the game of President-making, the most baleful of the political practices of tbe country. Tbe story goes that Mr. Benton and tbe President met one night at the editorial office of tbe Union, wnen Mr. Kitcbie playfully alluded to tbe project "If the office of lieutenant general should be created, I would be afraid to put jar. Denton into it, said the President "Why ?" inquired Mr. Benton. "Because a man that thinks so much of himself as you do would never stay 'lieutenant' of anything," replied Mr. Polk This story was told me by an old printer who pretends to believe that this little incident exploded an incipient but very large scheme 1 have given already a Presidential pun from one of the least volatile of the stately occupants of the great chair. I have another from a source even less likely for anything sportive. A politician from New York, who had more friends than he knew what to do with, annoyed Mr. Polk by the extraordinary frequency and persistency of his recommendations for office in favor of scores of applicants of every grade. ' His name wss Morris About this time the singular speculative mania on tbe subject ot the silk culture, which wss so prevalent and so illusory, was at its height Some person In conversation with the President was in the act of explaining the history and prospects of the culture in this country of the morit multicauli (the species of mulberry raised for the sustenance of silk worms.) A card was brought to tbe President He inspected it, and handing it to his communicative visitor, who resd thereon the name of Mr. Morris, exclaimed with a sigh, "Here comes my Morris multicavlis V TATLOR. The reader will remember the famous Gal- phin claim, which, through some improvidence and fraud, Was passed through tbe public offices. The Democrats assailed with intense snd unsparing fury the Whig Administration, as corrupt, etc, and for months the country press and stump were teeming with exaggerated and violent denunciations. General Taylor satisfied of tbe integrity of hi cabinet, and especially of his friend, Mr. Meredith, the Secretary of the Treasury, was Una concerned than the party leaders about the matter, and was disposed rsther to make light of their alarm. Meantime Mr. Mere dith had frequent occasion to represent to the President tbe extremities of tbe Treasury, and the expediency of providing for a loan to meet the current expenses. On one occasion several distinguished adherents of the Administration, together with some of tbe Cabinet and the President, were conferring informally but earnestly on the subject of the Galphin claims Tbat there was fraud in tbe matter somewhere waa taken as of course, though it was not suspected of anv but obscure officials and agents in the business. .." There can't be any fraud in it, any," said the old General, with a wink. "Why, Mr. President V inquired one "Because Meredith has no money." Another about General Taylor. His simplicity in the midst of the irksome and complex usages and duties of bis position wss especially manifested in connection with the bestowed of patronage. Tbe late Z. Collins Lee, of Maryland, having received from the President tokens of favor, which, from such a source were significant of a promise to appoint him to the office of United States District Attorney for Maryland, was astonished to find in the newspapers the nomination of a competitor. Subsequently, in a casual allusion to the circumstance, Mr. Lee suggested that the President had forgotten his promise. "No I didn't, Lee," replied the President, with the ingenious eagerness of a frank boy, "we bad it up in Cabinet council, and I voted for you !" niXMOBK. On tbe first day of April, Mr. Fillmore, who 1 regarded himself as something of a wag. was unostentatiously walking down Pennsylvania avenue, and passing tbe dwelling of a at sen, the latter gentleman decorously saluted tbe President, wbo acknowledged the courtesy with his usual suavity. A group of boys, including the polite citizen's son. a mischiev ous hut ingenuous and sprightly lad of six or seven, had collected for the exercise of tbe usual privilege of All-fools' dsy. At the moment of the pleasing and respectable in terchange of courtesies between his father and the President, the son suddenly cried out, ignorant, of course, of the person of his victim, "Look t don't you see your pants out st tbe seat V Before the exasperated father could overcome bis chagrin, Mr. Fillmore, completely surprised, suddenly stopped to see after bis pantaloons, the boys vociferating "April JfitAX April fool!" With the moat perfect(good nature, the President smiling, said, "So I am, boys," and passed on Tha indignatioraenda regret of the gentlemanly citizen were' m'jbtened by the fact thst be was attached to the opposite political party. " t . ViEaca. I use the words of a lady eye-witness in tbe incident j4Ve subjoin .- Mr. PiertejCll known affability was never bettav disTSyed than on one occasion when a levee was honored by the presence of the aged widow of Alexander Hamilton. Then beyond ninety, yet retaining activity and brightness of intellect in a marvellous degree, that venerable and moat lovely old lady was one of the greatest objects of interest that then adorned oor city. Full of vivacity and social feeling, her house wss a favorite resort of citizens and distinguished visitors. As she seldom left home sftcr night, her presence at the levee referred to created quite a sensation. Her slight figure somewhat bent, was clad in rich black silk of old-fashioned make, with snowy muslin folded over her breast, and a close cap, whose delicate orimped borders encircled a face lined with a thousand wrinkles; but the eyea had not lost their brightness, nor the voice its full tones. The President received her with exceeding deference leaving his place gave her bis arm, and so made tbe tour of the rooms ; bending to catch every word, and in every look and gesture showing ready tact and graceful attention. With great in terest I had followed the movements of this distinguished couple ss they passed through the crowd that gave way on every side to make room for them. She seemed in animated talk, and as I approached I heard the concluding words of what must have been a stern rebuke of a public measure tbat many severely condemned. She spoke the last words with all the simple dignity, if not conscious superiority, of venerable age and observation, "Ah, air, such things were not in the days of Washington." The New Orleans Riot GEN, BAIRD'S OFFICIAL REPOBT. The Betel Authorities Responsible for the Massacre- PROOFS OF "PRECONCERTED ACTION." Tbe official report of General Baird, just published, on the riot in New Orleans, fur nishes additional evidence of tbe guilt of the rebel authorities of that city. We regret we have not room for the entire report, but the following condensation of it gives all the material facta: General Baird says it was notorious that the cotiven tion was to meet on the30tbof July. It had been in session several weeks previously, when it excited opposition and threats of breaking it up He adds : Since the riot I have been informed by gentlemen of the highest character planters of wealth and influence, belonging to the party inimical to tbe convention tbat tbe question of its meeting had been by them fully discussed in all its bearings; tbst it bad been proposed, first, to treat it with ridicule ; next, to go into the movement and by superior numbers to send delegates to overwhelm and control it But upon reflecting that tbe members already elected would be the judges as to tbe qualifications of new ones, it wss feared that this purpose might be frustrated, and it was then determined to treat the meeting as sn unlawful assemblage, and as such to break it up at all hazards. In regard to the convention itself and the legality of ita meeting, tbe General says : From tbe little knowledge I had upon the subject I could not perceive tbat the gentlemen composing tbe convention ha I any other assemblage of citizens. Yet I believe they had a right to meet and to talk and to resolve, provided they committed no breach of the peace. Had the result been to obstruct any officer of the 8tate in the exercise of his office, or an attempt upon the part of any person to exercise tbe functions of a State office, unless authorized to do so by the President of the United States, I should bsve regarded thia as an overt act, calling for military interference, provided tbe civil powers were unable to defend themselves and punish the aggressor. ThelGeneral believed it would be a violation of their rights to arrest these citizens before they committed any overt act and he deemed it bis duty to take into custody those wbo should unlawfully interfere with them. On the Z5th of July, Mayor Monroe wrote a letter to General Baird, in which he pro nounced tbe convention illegal, and said : it is my intention to disperse this unlawful assemblage if found within the corporate limits of the city by arresting the members thereof and holding them accountable to- existing municipal law, provided they meet without tbe sanction of tbe military authoritiesHe also asked whether tbe proposed meet ing had the approbation of the General. Tbe General replied at length. We make an extract from bis letter: I have the honor to state tbat the assem blage to which you refer has not, so far as I sm aware, the sanction or approbation of any : , . .1 - -. military nuinoruj lor 11a meetings. I presume the gent! men comprising it bave never asked for such authority to meet, as the military commanders, since I bave been in tbe btate, bave held themselves s'rictly aloof from all interference with the political movements of the citizens of Louisiana. For my own part I have carefully re-Ir.iiued from any expression of opinion upon either side of the many questions relating to tbe reconstruction or tbe Mate government When asked if I intended to furnish the convention a military guard, I l ave replied "No;" the Mayor of the city and its police will "amply protect ita sittings." If these persons assemble, as you say is intended, it will be, I presume, in virtue of the universally conceded rigut of all loral citizens of the United States to meet peaceably and discuss freely questions concerning their civil government a right which is not restricted ty the fact tbat the movement proposed might terminate in a change of the existing institutions If the assemblage in question has the legal right to remodel the State government, it should be protected in so doing If it bss not, then its labors must be looked upon as harmless pleasantry, to which no one ought to object As to your conception of the duty imposed by your oath of office, I regret to differ from you entirely. I cannot understand how the Mayor of a city can undertake to decide so important and delicate a question as tha legal authority upon which a convention, claiming to represent tne people or an entire State, bases its action. General Baird ssys the speeches made by tha "Radicals" at tha meeting on the 27th were said to be temperate, azJ that the authenticity of the speech attributed to Dr. Dostie is denied. The chsrge of Judge Abell he regards as intemperate and calculated to breed popular tumult Just prior to the meeting on the 30th Gen eral Mira sems 10 bave been kept in ignorance of the plans of the opponents of the eon vention, who were anxious that he should dispose of his troops in a manner to suit them. On the 28th he sent a dispatch to tbe Secretary of War, as follows: A convention has been called, with, the sanction of Governor Wells, to meet here on Monday. Tbe Lieutenant Governor and city authorities think it unlawful, and propose to break it up by arresting the delegate. I have given no orders on the sutject, but have warned the parties that I should not countenance or permit such action withoot instruction to that effect from tbe President Please instruct me by telegraph. To this he has received no reply, nor ha its receipt been acknowledged. Tnl e police were the actual rioters General Baird furnishes ample proof. We quote a few passages from his report : No member of the convention, or friemia of it, if attack was feared, came to me to represent tbe fact and to ask provision fo ita -safetv. Judge Howell, the President whom I have since asked why they did nt t, notify me of their danger, replied that they had no conception of it themselves. Hr and the rest went there unarmed, not sure that they might not be arrested or the meeting otherwise broken up, but with no idea that tbey would be subjected to violence. The large body of police belonging to the city was smply competent at any time, by thrusting itself between the two antagonistic parties, to separate them and arrest quietly the disorderly on both sides. It wa strong enough to have held a force equal to both the parties in the streets in subjection until the hour when the troops held in reserve could come up Indeed, fArre was no hour during the con-tinuanee of the riot when perfect order might not hat been restored by a command to the police from the chiefs to put up their pistols, and turn round to request ita friends and coadjutors in tbe work of riot to desist, to clear the streets and return to their homes, j That the police force itself, the chosen gur-' dian of the law, the conservator of public peace, should become the terrible rioter, which it did, was not to be calculated upon. We knew that there were bail men in tbat organisation, and tbat it feelings were hostile to the convention, but we believed them to be subject to the control of their officers, and, with all our knowledge of the depravity of tbe h uman heart, we could not httve imagined them capable of such atrocities as were committed by them and their friends against helpless negroes and Union white people Those who contend tbat tbe violent deeds of the 30th ult were planned, contrived, and determined upon beforehand in the office of the Mayor, and the orders given out from that quarter, were careful to give m no such information in advance, and to convey no caution to me as to tbe want of fidelity of tbe police. To those persons connected with the civil government who assert that tbey called for military assistance, (which ia incorrect,) and complain tbat it was not given them, is sufficient to answer: To ask against whom could the troops have operated ? Against no one but their own organized forces, whom, by a word of command, tbey could bave removed from tbe scene, and thoa restored order. General Baird comments upon the following dispatch from the President to Lieutenant Governor Voorheea : The military will be expected to sustain, and not obstruct or interfere with the proceedings of tbe courts. A dispatch on the subject of tbe convention was sent to Gov ernor Wells this morning. He says thia was ambiguous. Tbe difficulty lay in determining who were the legal authorities whom the military were expected to support and sustain J udee Abell. of one of the State courts, had recently, in a charge to toe grand jury or bis district, denounced the convention of 1S64 as unUwfuI, and for this, as well as for the sentiments expressed by bim, he had been arrested by the United States Commissioner and bound over fir trial at tbe next seseion of tbe United States Courts Tbe question then arose as between Judge Abell and Judge Shannon which waa the military authority to recognize as the court intended by the President Tbe General had no fear that the negroe would commence a disturbance, but he feared their appearance would excite one. He dwells at considerable length upon his inter views witn the Mayor and others, and again returns to the terrible scenes of the day, of wmcn be tbus speaks: Bodies of police are said to have been summoned to the spot by the ringing of tbe city bells Everything shows preconcerted action The police, armed with pistols and clubs, followed and supported by citizens, charged upon the negroes, having given no notice to disperse, and having made no attempt to peaceably arrest tbem. There was a pile of bricks at hand, and the colored people de- lenaed tnemseives witn these and their sticks as well as with such pistols as they had less than one to every tenth man. They were soon overowered, and those who could do so found a refuge witbin the Con vention Halt the building waa afterward assaulted, the police firing their pistols into tbe windows, and when, an entrance was effected they forced their way up to the lanamg on tne second story, and there found the door of the hall barricaded. At length, by some strategy, those in the hall were induced to open tbe door, when the police rushed in and emptied tlieir revolvers into the assemblage. Those witbin being feebly armed, could make but little resistance ; and the policemen, retiring to rloud, returned to repeat the same operation. When any of the eonventionists succeeded in being parsed out to tbe front of the building they were there met by a cordon of police, surrounded by another cordon of citizens, and attempting to surrender to the first, they were frequently shot down by tbe men whom tbey begged to take tbem into custody. This course was continued until tbe work was completed. Geoeral Baird sums up his sketch by saying that the riots of the 30th preseot a pic ture or atrocity having no parallel in American history. In regard to the state of feeling, he says tbat the police led the riot, and he adds: All negroes, all Union citizen of Louis iana, and all Northern men, so far as I rould learn, were in a state of terror. The approach of a policeman tbey regarded as tbat of an executioner. Prominent citizens sought refuge or concealment in tbe houses of friends, aod even the Governor of the State, during tbe night, sent for a guard to protect bis life For days subsequent to the riot. the meeting of two or three of tbe police near the bouse of a Union man was regarded as sufficient to justify a removal at night or a demand for a military guard ; and with this state of feeling, whether it had any just foundation or not, a renewal of riot and dis order might at any moment have been an tici nated. For this reason Genersl Baird deemed necessary a proclamation of martial law Tbe civil authorities srreated only members of the convention and their friends. They arrested none wbo were Hostile to tbe con vention. It waa stated in the French Legislative Aa-aemhlv. that the rural letter e&rriera arallr dailv. on an average, sixteen miles, and somn- times as msny as twenty or twenty-five, and yet receive some as little as $12 a year.
