ince the d!y that hatter entered the city that da
waa destinel to be thereafter his field of specula- call
tinan and epoliations. New Orleans hay suffered blir
thi presence of a vindictive, pitiless, mercenary gati
hliue, composed mainly of men foreign to the con
soitlf L,u-c'iana, and who, in the early days of R
"":ctupation," by the assistance of Btlr's mill- rept
tary, held high carnival over the prostrate cornm ae
nutnity. In proportion as they were "loyal,' i; i
were they knaish; and by this combination of
knavery ad "loyaltyt' they villified and op- mor
pre-erd tite people upon they had fastened
themselves, and whoem. through the asistance that
given by ivading bayonets, they ruled inconjun- the
tion with Butler. tgin
This evil cpirit, since the surrender of the Con- t
federate armi-e, and the developments of the op pol
posatin to the policy of the President; has become the
identified with the plans and purposes of the radi- the
cal majority in Congreass. In casting about for a on
means whereby to advance the schemes of thin It
revolutionary mijority,a conspiracy was hatched, den
which was bold enough in conception, certainly, nat
and needed only impunity to make it a suac- in t
cers. This plan was to galvanize into new wet
existence a convention which was assembled in tion
New Orleans in April, 1864, for the purpoae UJi
of framing a new Constitntion for the State
of Louisiana. and which (its work being
done-the Constitution submitted to the people
and ratified) ceased, with that consummation of
it purposes, to exi-t. This convention adjourned
on the 25th of July, 1864, after having passed a
resolution to the eflect ctht it could be recon
vened on the call of the president. This resolu- N
tion, however, was never submitted to or ratified all
by the people. And so the convention f 1864. gi
its labort finished and its volume closed, expired dur
by limitation and became extinct. C
.It was thils mtaerable delusion and spectral law- to
making bodly that radicalism invoked to work out Yoi
its plans. tith no more shadow of authority insr
Louisiana than have the edicts of the Kalmnek
Tartors, this political snare was set, under radical
au-picee. fir the purpose of entrapping the nun
fortulate State in the toils of her enemies,
When this conspiracy against the peace, rightsa
and opions t tihe petple of Louisiana w pro-i
perly arranged, thie agitation among the "loyal- -
i ts" of thle )ootie stamp commenced in earnest.
Flimsyand ridicolousexcuses were advanced-itn
ke!.tpmg with the reeolutionary work in hand--f r f
1the outoage ab,uttobe committed, atndthe presi- th
dent of the conventlion of 1864I was called upon to he
issue a peoclamation summoning from its grave pt
the legiilative body that had been for two years c
delunct. Notwithstanding that the government ec
of Louisiana was quietly and impartially ad- th
- ministered under the Constitution that had been p,
*r adopted in 1864, the intention of these revolu
tionists was to upset its own work, and to create a o
Constitution in unison with, the radieal heresies, .
and wlhch should put the State under radical con- y,
t trolt. When, however, the presidentof the extinct a
I, convention was called upon to reassemble the tt
I, body, he refused on the ground that the conven- h
tion was dead, and could not therefore be called }
together again. Another member of the old con
veation, more facile than the former presideut,a
was thereupon invited to go throunglh the cere- a
a mony of "proclaiming" the convention back to
life, This tool was aound in the person of R. K.
Howell, who "proclaimed" the "convention" to
oassemble on the 30th of July. This Is in brief the
.t history of the revolutionary body whose proceed- h
it inCgs were cut short by the riots. t
SOne event immediately prior to the assembling
tof ths usurpative " uonvention," Is not withouta
interest, in view of subsequent facts. A Ncw b
Orleans judge Abell--charged the brand Jury
that it was their duty, as it was his, "to use all
lawfulmeans to prevent any unlawful assembly a
or assemblies, and such as would have a natural
a- tendency to create a breach of the peace."
ly For te bloody wor that followed, we cannot
but express our regret. But there were elementse
to at work which rendered thle collision almost itev
i itable. There was that haleful spectacle,so hate
ful to the eyes of Southern men, of negrces arlned
with tile motley weapons of Wat Tyler's ftllow
ore, paradittg the atreeti with the insolent word,
and tile more insolent iutent. There were the
Sderce impulses of a proud people whot have nt
understood yet the Northern idea ol the equality
i; of the negro race-and totn race their forncer
n; stves. AndVhat more likely thtan thltt the itso
S lence of the negro, and the ioral provcation af
f rded by his armed gathering on that day, of all
days, lshtold lhave been met with tihe tornado that
L sprang from the rage of men of the osuperior
race, vexed at the dttempt to deprive them of
ht-ir birthright. But of al those whose guilt
a springs irom that doy's work, the most guilty,
ateurely, are tho', who have fomented discord be
l twecn the two races by heretical clamor and in
'sidiouscounsel to the negrocs. Let the New York

E ltor eo the Meobt Daily Tims:
Among many other interesting items contained
In your last issue, I noticed a paragraph in regard
to one of Gceorgla's greatest natural enriosities-I
allude to "BlowingCa.e," asiti called by the
jnhabitants of the section In which it is located.
Thinkiiog that a few particulsrt in regard to this
truly strange phenomenon mightprove interesting,
and lead to further inquiry, I dot them down:
Blowing Cave is situated on the piantatolen of
Col. David Barrow. Decatur county, Ga., twenty
•even miles from Thomasville, the toerminus of the
Soavsnnh and Gulf railroad. The cave in at the
bottom of a small natural basin, (whose diameter
will not at any point edxeed thirty feet,) in a per
fectly smooth plain, and surrounded with a dense
copse of wood. There is no indication to lead tO.
the suppoeltion that it was occasioned by any
eruption of a volcanic or convulsive nature, as the
face of the surrounding country, as well as the
immrediale neighborhood of the cave itself, is.
whilly free of stones,ruggedness and other arks
of convulsive action.
When first discovered and brought into nmotice
by i'olnelss Barrow and McKinley, in the year
t1836 or '37, the orifice of the eave was thae- or
four feet to the left of the present one, ands maeb
larger. Colonel McKinley proposed explorin it.
