Avavsr BeLmont, Chairman Neuonal Democratic Committee, New York :— A correct view of the condition of public affairs in New Orleans cannot be presented without an ex- planation of the relations occupied towards the pub- lie by the agents of the actual State government. The city of New Orleans 1s, like other cities in the country, @ municipal organization, It possesses & charter, granted by the State, and which in some particulars has always been alterable by the Legis- lature, but the right of the city to control its own po- lice force had up to this year been secured by con- stitational guarantee. 1t was #0 under the constitu- tions of i846, 1852 and 1864. The people of the enty regard this right as imprescriptible and not sub- ject to revision or destruction, The constitu. lon of 1868, however, omitted this guarantee; and taking advaatage of the omission, the Le; ure assed an act placing the entire control of the po- lice in the hat of @ partisan Board of Commis- sioners, apponssee by the Governor, and uniting sev- eral continuons parishes under the same author. ity. This measure was adopted in defiance of the wishes of the people of New Orleans, and really in deflance of the wishes of a large majority of the peonis of the State; for it must be remem- bered that the constitution of 1868 was formed by a Convention elected by a minority of the registered voters, and that by the opprossive rulings and the fraudulent services of the Board of Registrars, nearly half of the white people of the State had been disfranchised. 1¢ was snfficiently irritable that the right of local self-government, always hitherto enjoyed by the people of New Orleans, was thus disregarded, and the conduct of the Board of Police Commissioners tended to Serna the difficulty and to exasperate the public, eit first act was to double or nearly double the police force, thus adding greatly to the enormous burdens already im- posed on the city; and they took care, making their new appointments, to select ne- Toes exclusively, Indeed, a& ma- jority of the metropolitan police last week were hegroes—negroes without intelligence or capacity, and many of them vicious and turbulent. A police thus constituted could not prove eflicient, it could not even fulfil the ordinary routine duties of such an organization. Its existence was regarded as a per- petual menace to the public, and its members were area pepe soominn hen an peaions OF roperty an ians of the peace. Hence, when he dificuities of last Saturday night occurred, the police were found to be utterly powerless, and the task of preserving order devoi upon the citizens, who, we believe, discharged it with more moderation than could have been anticipated under the many aggravating circumstances which existed, We be- eve, too, that were similar provocation given in other cities, were an attempt made elsewhere to re- duco a great community of white people into sub- Jection to the rule of a minority, com; of stran- gers and negroes, nothing could have prevented actual revolution, accompanied with disastrous vio- lence and loss of life. The events of the last stx days may be briefly summed up as follows:—On Saturday evening, the 24th inst., about half-past nine o'clock, the Working- men’s Democratic Club, from the Tenth Ward, halted for a serenade on Poydras street, their right facing St. Charles; while they remained there there passed down St. Charles street a procession of negro clubs, The workingmen shortly afterwards, at the completion of the serenade, resumed their march and turned down St. Charles street, followed some distance behind the negro club. At or near Canal street, the latter being detained somewhat by the street cars, the head of the former line overtook them, and the two processions de- bonched upon Canal street, one in the rear of the other. The negroes marched along Canal street and turned to the left, or what is called toward the sweep. The workingmen also turned to the left and marched in the same direction, but remained on. the south side of Canal a that the grass plot, 0 or nentral gaound, only intervened between the two processions marching tn pafalle! lines, the head of the negao line bemg soewhat in advance of that of the whites. .Thus, amid cantinuaus shouting for their respective candates, and followed on the side qalks by a crowd which momentary aug- mented, the processions marched on, side by side, until the head of the negro column reach Dauphin or Baronne strect, where, according to the most reliable reports, it turned left, and, re- crossing Canal street, continued on toward the vam, Meanwhile the rear negro club appears to ui detached itseif from the main and to have recrossed Canal street at Carondolet, one square nearer St, Charles street, and then continued on again as the main bodydid. From Baronne street, as the tail end at fhe main body was passing the corner of Baroune and Canal, a democratic club, the Seymour sentinels, which had been parading that evening, came down Baronne street towards Canal, and necessarily must have placed the detached negro club between themselves and the workingmen, At this juncture a shot was fired and shortly afterwards another. Reports ax to thair origin are conficting, although competent authority asserts positively that the first came from about the centre of the negro club; but no collision occurred, notwithstanding these two shots, until the loud explosion of a coal-oil torchiamp was heard, when @ panic and promiscuous firing ensued, The workingmen rushed forward. The negroes ran out, throwing away everything as they went, and within half au hour the first’ mentioned elub were upon thelr march tomeward in good order. ‘The casualties at this point were three colored men killed, one colored boy trampied to death and one wounded. One white man, & member of the work- ingmen, was also wounded, From this point the excitement speedily spread itself over the city, At Various points the negroes collected in considerable nombers threatening attack. At the corner of Triton walk and Dryades strect. where the Second Ward Radical Cinb has {ts headquarters, negroes were be seen loading muskets and firing them ti) after midnight. Another negro club house, ner of Thalia and Camp streets, a white man named Dennis Sullivan, waa shot and killed. Dr. Dail, President of the Seymour Guides, happened to pass this pornt with two companions. They were net upon by the negroes, and barely At with their lives, A Mr. Swith, riding home ir a Bam) car, was badly cut by 8 negro, who smagped im the giass window with an axe. Various otg¢r rencoun- ters occurred during the night in varioks parts of the city, but none of them proved so sertons as those re- corded. Sunday, the 25th, passed tranquilly.

The certificate bore the seal of the County Court and the signature of the Clerk, and was regu- lar on its face. Judge Johnson, ailer hearng the arguments, decided that the mnty Court had common law jurisdiction suitictent to authorize tie Clerk to grant ceritficates of uaturalizaiion. and that the Board of Rogistry cannot go behind a certineate of the court bearing its seal and i duo form: other- ane in short, compelling the registrars to register les.

Daring the first week in October the disbursements from the Treasury Department were very heavy, and {t was thought there would be considerable increase in the public debt; but the recetpts from customs during the mouth have beea very large, and will Probably make up the deficit, and it ts now ex- pected that the statement will ahow a slight de- crease, The Report of the Postmaster General. In the contract ofice of the Post Oifice Department the clerks are bringing to completion the annual report, and as it willsoon appear the Postmaster General does not deem it necessary to produce items of expenditure as an oifset to the exaggerated state- ments that have been made in contrast with the administration of Mr, Dennison. ‘fue report will undoubtedly show a heavy augmentation of expense, but only in a ratio corresponding with the greatly in- creased postal facilities, One thing that bas added to the outlay is the restoration of the mati service in the Southern States, which was suspended during the war. Another is the great number of additional Mall routes established in the Western States and Territories, and which require an enormous expense with very smali return, For instance, & mail route has been established recently from Fort Ab mbie, Minn, to St. Helena, Montana, @ distance of 500 miles, at an aunual ex- pense of $200,000, with a postage revenue of not ex- ceeding $1,000, extreme West without regard to remunerating con- siderations, The Postmuster General's answer to the prejudiced statements recently made ts that be has expended all the money at his command to ex- tend the benefits of the department as widely as possible, and his only regret ix that the supply is oo Minited to meet the national demand. Negotiations for the Purchase of tron-Clads. The statement made in these despatches to the effect that certain Cuban conspirators had been im negotiation with our government for the purchase of tron-ciads has provoked some contradictions; but there t# no doubt, nevertheless, of the fact. Of course our government would not negotiate with conspirators as such, nor did 1 so state, ‘The pariies engaged in the usiness were not precisely idiots to make any such proposal, They represented them- seives as private parties, and sought to purciuse the vessels in such character, and not as conspirators. ‘There is nothing to prevent our government from dealing with private partics in disposing of war ves- Sela by purchase or otherwise.

She has thonsands of admirers, who yet flock to do homage at her court in Pike’s Opera House, where she con | tinues to receive them under the auspices of Director Bateman. Neyer were audience and actors on bet | ter terms with each other than last nignt. To: was received with the inevitable round of applause when she first came on the stage. Boum, Fritz and Puck have so improved on the funny business in their parts that those who saw the piece 9 year ago will be more than reconciled to the present cast, Tostée was called to the curtain at the end of the first act. Lambelé was a loving and (resting Wan- da, The “Dites Lut’? was encored, but her Highness refused # repetition, ep cancan had to be given three times before the audience would permit the curtain to stay down at the end of the second act. Puck and Paul were so eccentric and funny that one performance of their ridiculous by-play was not suficrent, The piece has been altered to ex- clude every objectionable feature. The de. | sire to please pervades the whole opera, The | utmost study is evident in the acting and business, Despite tie foreign tongue plot and dia- | Jogue are easily comprehended from the point with which everything is done or given. Like good wine the opera has improved with age. It is miore pleas- ing now than it was even in the palmy daya of its first triumph, The present company make it a rnn- ning fire of mirth-provoking drollery’ and sparkling, quisite music, To-day it will be given in matinee. ‘To-night Tostée will bow her conge as La Grande Dochesse, to reappear on Monday evening ax La Belle Helene, Broapway THEATRE.—Thal gay, sprightivy and versatile avtress, Mrs, W.

Florence, whose benefit | took place last evening at this charming and cosey theatre, fled the house to its utmost capacity—a pleasing bat not surprising tribute to her long estab- lished popuivrity with metropolitan Pheatre-goers. | There was anentire change of bill, though no one was tired of the previous attractive programme. A superb bill it proved, “Dombey and Son" was the mitiatory performance, Mr, Florence in his personn- tor of Capita Curile, in which he is unquestionably superior to any Ilving actor; Mr. W, Hiela as Dombey, Mr. J. 0. Williuinson as ooo, Mr. Jack as Major Nagstock, Mr. Beckman as Jack Bunsby, Mrs, Gilbert as Mrs, Skewton, M. jay 48 Florence Dombey, Miss Newton as Edith and Mrs, Skerrett as Susan Nipper, and the gencral style of mounting the piece, calied up memories of the olden time, and not #0 long ago either, when Burton held the theatrical reins in Chambers street, There was fine acting throughout, Hut in the afterpiece, the “Young Actress,’’ where the versatile brililancy of Mrs, Florence 1s extibited | to such superb advantage im her charming acting in | Various characters, and m her singing aud dancing, and where Mr. Florence gives his unsurpassed imita- tions of prominent actors, was to most doubtless the most enjoyable feature of the evening. Here was rollicking enjoyment-—the keenest, richest, liveliest sort of merriinent. Mra, Florence Was most raptur- onsty applanded, as she always is. At the close of the first pleco Mr. Florence was called before the } curtain and in # brief and neat speech thanked the audience for their kind reception of him in the city of his birth. Both he and Mrs, Florence had to make their a rance in front of the curtain at the close of the last plece, There will be a Brine os matinée Unis afternoon, but the entire bill of last wight will be given this evening. 7 ».Yening, November 9, and for as many same even- ing, thereatter as she pleases the patrons of the re- “ive establisnments, It will doubiless be very hard » Fk for the young lady, Lord a, Teton has published his drama, “The Right- ful Heig,® BOW being performed at the Lyeeum Thea tre, ’.
