The New Orleans Riot,
After having plotted and counseled the
outbreak at New Orleans, it would be
bad management indeed if the Radicals
in Congress could not get a majority re
port from an investigating committee to
suit their view of the case.
The first labors of that committee were
performed in Washington, where they
examined such witnesses as could 'be
- picked np there. From thence ;they pro
seeded to. New. Orleans, where the active
instigators of the riots and their friends
were put upon the • stand, and- the ques
tions put to them intended to elicit such
answers only as were calculated to shield
the Radicals from blame f and place the
responsibility of the riot Upon those op
posed to the meeting of the Convention.
The Union men of , that city were not
countenanced by the majority of the am
-..rnittee. Such citizens as supported the
policy of the President, and desired an
early settlement of the difficulties which
disturb the nation were ignored. They
could not obtain a hearing before the
committee in order to explain the long
train of circumstances which led to the
. •
aft, and to point out the real instigators
of that unfortunate occurrence. The Hahn
party and those who favor the Congres
sional-usurpation scheme monopolized the
time and had the ear of the Radical mem
bers of the committee, and hence the in
vestigation was one-sided, and not calcu
lated to get at the fundamental facts of
the riots in New Orleans. 'Thcreport of
the majority of the committee could have
been written at Washington before the
appointment of the investigating commit
tee, as well as in New Orleans after the
so-called investigation of the riots. It i:,
in the usual style,of Radical electioneer
ing documents, and will have no consid
eration or force with fair-minded, reflect
ing men.
The minority report, written by 13.
Markley Boyer, the talented and fearless
Democratic Representative from the
Sixth Congressional District of this State,
presents all the facts upon the origin of
the riots that were possible to
- be gather
ed from the witnesses examined before
the committee. Being in a minority,Mr.
Boyer could - only act as hiamolleagues per
mitted. He could not summon witness
es himself, nor question those who were
put upon the stand without permission.
Mr. Boyer, however, demonstrates the il
legality of the Convention called together
to amend the Constitution of Louisiana
from the Radical standpoint, and from,
facts presented to the committee, and .
then proceeds to fix the guilt and crimin
alitY of attempting to alter, amend and'
abolish the State government of Louisi;
ana by the action of such a body upon the
Radical party in that State, urged, aided,
and abetted in their revolutionary work;
by leading - members of Congress.
„This:
latter point is important, and it is clearly::
proved.
Thus assured, the Conventionists prcH
needed to put in execution their revoluj,
tionary scheme, the object of which was
to overthrow the existing government of
Louisiana, and the establishment of a spu
rious government in its place, the officers
of which would be the mere tools and
creatures of the dominant party in Con
gress. This was the real intention of the
Convention, and this scheme was gotten
up is Washingfon by such' men as Stev.
ens and his .revolutionary associates, and
attempted to be carried out in New Or
leans.
The fact also appears in the report of
Mr. Boyer that the friends of the Con- .
vention invited the assistance and co-ope
ration of the negroes for the purpose of
overawing the civil government of New
Orleans. Large gatherings of freedmen
were held in the heart of the city, and af
ter the most incendiary speeches had been
delivered by white men, they paraded the
streets with arms and insulted white men
and women wherever found. Dr. Dostii
and other prominent leaders of the Con
vention declared, in the presence of the
colored men, that they should kill any
person late might attempt to interfere
with their right to imperil the peace of
the city, as they were doing when parad
ing with arms at a time when the nom
munity were excited to a high degree up.
on this convention question.
This action of the colored people, in
by appeals from:such men as Hahn
and Dottie, brought on the actual con
flict, and Mr. Boyer truly says : •
"It ,was the illegal and violent pro
eeeciwge of the Convention and its friends
and tiapportere which' produced the ex
citement and brought about the °WU&
;
Congressional Proceedings.
Feb. 10-1 n the House the bill for the
admission of Nebraska was called up and
passed over the President's veto by a vote
of 120 to 44.
Mr. Hine announced the death of Hon.
Henry Grider, of Kentucky, pronouncing
a eulogy on the private and public char,-
acter of the deceased, and concluded by
offering the customary resolutions of re
spect. Further remarks were made by
Messrs. Firick, Harding and Rice, after
.which the resolutions were unanimously
adopted, anil the House adjourned.
' ' Feb. 11--Ju the Senate the invalid pen
sion and postaie° appropriation bills
wermaket up in order and - passed.
In the House the majority and minority
reports of the committee to ilivestigate
affairs at the Boston Custom House were
presented and ordered to be pririted. The
majority report censures .the Custom
House officers and the Solicitor of the
Treasury, and the minority report defends
their action. Two reports were then pre
sented from the Select CoMmittee on the
New Orleans riot. The majority report
being accompanied with a-bill for the cre
ation of a provisional government for the
State of Louisiana. ' A lively discussion
arose upon the question of the considera
tion of the bill.
Feb. 12—In the Senate the bankrupt
bill was taken up, the vote by which it
was rejected having been reconsidered,
and the question was, shall the bill pass ?
Mr. Sumner attempted to offer his amend
ment depriving Southern debtors of the
benefits of the bill, but it was not receiv
ed. In the debate which ensued upon the
bill, Mr. Conness declared his indepen
dence as a Senator. He said he had tried
to do his duty, and was tired of the whip
of the leader in the Senate, and determin
ed no longer to submit to • Mr. Sumner's
lash.; After debate the bill was passed,
by a:Vote of 22 yeas to 20 nays,- and goes
to the house for concurrence in amend
ments.
The House then resumed the considers
tion of the bill to erect a provisional gov
ernment in Louisiana. The vote order
ing the main question was reconsidered
and an amendment to the bill adopted,
strikiner out the provision for an election
of a delegate to Congress. Mr. Elliot
then renewed the demand for the previ
ous question.
The vote resulted—yeas 113, nays 48;
so the bill passed.
In the house, after the presentation and
reference of a number of joint resolutions
and petitions, the House resumed the con
sideration of the bill reported by Mr.
Stevens from the reconstruction Commit
tee, for the establishment of military gov
ernments in the South. After debate the
bill passed by a vote of-109 to 55.
Feb. 14—In the Senate the League Isl
and bill passed 27 to 17.
The bill-accepts the gift of League Isl
and from the City of Philadelphia, to be
held for naval purposes, provided the ac
ceptpace shall be recommended by a
board of officers appointed by the Presi
dent; and further, that the present navy
yard site shall be dispensed with. The
- Clerk of the House announced the refusal
of the House to recede from its amend
ment to the tenure of office bill, and its
agreement to a committee of conference.
The senate insisted, and agreed to the
conference committee. The Louisiana
bill was taken up, but postponed. Notice
was given of numerous amendments to be
offered to the bill. The reconstruction
bill was likewise postponed. The com
pound interest funding bill was then ta
ken up and passed. The bill authorizes
the issue of three per sent., loan certifi
cates to be used for redeeming and retir
ing outstanding compound interest notes.
Feb:- 15—The House passed the new
bounty bill. It proposesto pay to all sot.
diere and sailors $8 per month for all
time served between April 12th 1861,
and 18th, 1865.
The bill goes to the Senate.
;Radical Love for the Soldiers.
"Private Miles O'Reiley," General Hal
pine of New York, writing to his paper
froth Washington city, says:
The Senate, in its eagerness to slaugh
ter Mr. Johnson's proteges, is making a
mighty bad record for itself with regard
to. Our Boys who wore the Blue." It
has rejected scores of noble and deserving
soldiers for no other reason than that
their names had been sent in for various
places by the .President—as if, because
Mr.' Johnson fray be wrong in some
points, his sins were possessed of so foul
a contagion as to blast and sully the
brightest record of men who did gallant
service during the war. Take the case of
young Major Howe, 'formerly of the
" Bloody Sixth Massachusetts," and for
years a confidential and trusted staff offi
cer Maj. Gen. Sedgwick: yet even he,
when sent in for Collector of the eighth
Massachusetts District., is rejected ! So
also. with Gen. Pratt, of Brooklyn, who
travels around at this writing with a min
ie hall somewhere hidden in his neck,
and whose record cannot be surpassed.
So likewise with Gen. Eagan; and so on
with nearly two score of faithful and pa
triotic appointees, distinguished gradu
atea of the army, who have been kicked
by the Senate off the ladder upon which
Mr: Johnson strove to place their feet. A
fullrecord of these rejections is now be
ing 'prepared by Mr. Hanscotnbe, of the
ReOublican—the personal and army his
tory of each officer being ghen after his
name; and,-:when this
,sball come to be
puhlisbedi. Una used oratorically as a cam.
paign document, it , certainly trill do the
reverse ofgood to. the radicals as repro
seniedin the Senate—the reverse of injn
ry to the President. •
In the District Supreme, Court, at

To the Deihooracy of Pennsylvania
The Detioeratio State Committee at its
maqinti" January 20th, at Harrisburg,
adopted the following resolutions :
Ist. , . That the regular Convention of
"the party for nominating a candidate for
the Supreme Bench be held at Harris
burg on the 2nd TUESDAY of JUNE,
1867, at 12 M., and that the Convention
shall be composed of the usual number of
delegates.
2nd. In addition thereto, it is recom
mended to the Democracy of Pennsylva
nia to forthwith elect in the usual manner
two delegates of recognized position and
influence in the party for each representa
tive and Senator in their respective Dis
tricts who shall meet in Mass Convention
at, Harrisli o nrg e on a day to be fixed by the
hairman of the State Central Committee.
By order of the Democratic State Com
mittee. WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
B. L. Fonza, Chairman.
Secretary.
Complexion of the Next Congress.
The following is the political character
of the Congress which will assemble on
the 4th of March :
In the Senate there will be but five dem
ocrats, proper; Messrs. Saulsbury and
Riddle, of Delaware; Mr. Hendricks, of
Indiana; Mr. Guthrie, of Kentucky, and
Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania. The
democrats,on national questions,. will,
however e reinforced by seven conserva
tives, Messrs. Johnson ,and - Swann, of
Maryland; Davis, of Kentucky; Norton,
of Minnesota; Patterson, of Tennessee;
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, and Dixon, of
Connecticut, making twelve in all. The
radical strength will be forty, and adding
Nebraska,forty two, thus giving them
much more than a three fourths majority.
In the House, which, excluding the South
ern State's, is composed of 191 members,
there will be 29 vacancies in consequence
of no elections having as yet been held in
several of the States. It will stand on the
4th of March, 129 radicals to 37
,demo
crats, giving the republicans more than a
three fourths vote, and if the present rep
resentation in the States to elect is not
changed, the radical strength will not be
diminished. It will thus be seen that the
radical party for the next two years will
have absolute control of the government.
Gov. Geary's Sentiments !
During 'the late election campaign, says
the Erie Dispatch, a republican paper,
John W. Goary gave the following toast
in Wagner's Hall, in that city, " The
English like their beef, the Irish like their
potatoes, and the Germans like their la
ger, This, gentlemen, is the sincere sen
timent of my heart ! ! !"
An Erie chap bearing 'the euphonious
name of Sturztuckle having written to the
Harrisburg Telegraph a denial of the
Geary " sincere sentiment of my heart"
toast story, the, editor of the Erie Dis
patch replies by reiterating the truth of
the story, and adds : "We took it (the
toast) down at the time, in the presence
of Mr. Chase, of the York Republican."
He didn't mention it at the time, because
ho " felt ashamed of the man." It seems,
therefore, that the no Prefix was in that
fix known, some years ago, as "how come
-ou so."
Democratic Triumph in Reacting,
At the. Municipal Election held in the
city of Reading, on Friday last, the Dem
ocrats achieved a most glorious triumph
over their radical opponents—electing
their Mayor by 326 majority ; Treasurer
by 666 majority and Auditor by 346 ma
jority. They also elected all their Ward
officers in seven out of the nine Wards,
which gives them a majority of two thirds
in both branches of the Councils.
Can't Gov. Geary pardon some more
political convicts ? His pardon of the
Election Judge in Berks county, for his
illegal refusing to receive the vote of a so
called deserter, seems to have had its ef
fect in Reading.
ErOne - of the prominent members of
the Codniittee to investigate the New
Orleanii riot affair was considerably ta
ken down by one of the witnesses. A
witness was called whose radicalism was
not fully known to the Committee, and
the members aforesaid inquired of him on
which side he intended to testify. The
witness replied that there would be no
"sides" to his testimony; he could only
swear to facts within his knowledge.—
The Committee soon found that they had
no use for that witness—tie was positive.
ly of no account. They didn't go there
to collect facts but capital, and the man
who didn't take "sides" wasn't worth a
" continental."
Radical beauties.
New Ulm, Minesota, where two travel
ing soldiers were so shockingly hacked to
pieces on last Christmas day, by a mob
of the inhabitants, because ono of them
refused to pay for liquor drank by the
crowd, ie,.en infidel radical town, where
" copperheads" are not tolerated. Some
years ago an effigy of Christ was burned
by the people. When the town was laid
out it was stipulated in the deeds that no
churches should ever be allowed to be
built. The people are represented to be
worse in every respect than the savages of
the borderll From what is said of the
place and its inhabitants it needs " recon
structing" much more than the worst
" rebel" section of Texas.
CowsEcneerr.—Tbe Democratic State
Convention assembled in Hartford Wed- .
nesday and put in nomination Tames E.
English for Governor and E. P. Hyde for
Lieutenant Governor, and .candidates for
the other State offices. A platform was ,
also adopted embracing a series of resolu
tions denouncing the present attitude of
Congress towards the Southern States and
endorsing the President in his policy.
•
The Cable and its Eatnings.
The directors of the Anglo American
Telegraph Company have lately issued
their report of the doings of the cable
since the communication was complete.
It seems that in that time they have re•
ceived in five months $Bl,BBO, a very
handsome sum, indeed. After paying all
expenses and charges they find that they
have a very clever profit, sad have declar
ed a dividend of ten per cent. They can,
therefore, afford to reduce their rates and
do more business, and they have accor
dingly signified their intention to abate
their charges. In regard to the condition
of the cables, they are reported to be ex
cellent. As many as one hundred letters
per minute have been sent through them,
and the directors say •" Their capacity is
only limited by the power of the human
eye and brain to follow and read the
transmitted signs." There is talk of ma
king a new branch line to Boston, from
P.acentia Bay, which will remove a great
objection to the cable under present man
agement.
The success of this line is encouraging
to the gent iemen, interested in the Amen
can and European Atlantic Telegraph,
from New York to Bermuda, the Azores
and Portugal, which is now waiting the
ratification of Congress. If that body will
only take up the bill now pending and
pass it, we shall have an American line of
ocean telegraph in operation in so short
a sp•►ee of time, considering' the obstacles
to be overcome, that those who do not
know of the preparations already made
will be scarcely able to realize the fact
when it is accomplished.
Stamps on Notes.
Promissory notes are liable to a stamp du
ty of five centstfor each $lOO or fractional
part, thereof. Ifa note contains any spe
cial agreement, such as waiving the stay
of execution, right to inquisition, appeal,
or exemption, it is liable to an additional
duty of five cents. Notes containing a
confession of judgment are liable to an
additional stamp duty of fifty cents when
entered of record. Sealed notes are sub
ject-to the same duty as other notes, and
no more.
George Peabody's Great Gift.
George Peabody has finally crowned
the long list of his magnificent charities
by a gift of over two million of dollars, to
be used, as ho expresses it. " for the pro
motion and encouragement of intellectual,
moral or industrial education among the
young of the more destitute portions of
our Union." So magnificent a charity as
this the world . has not often witnessed.
This fund is put into the hands of a com
mitted of the best and most distinguished
citizens of the different sections.
—The Yankee trick in attempting to
abolish the distinctions of race and color
is a new invention, and something the
Lord overlooked when he pronounced ev
erything " very good." Will some mod
ern soothsayer inform us how the Crea
tor of all things happened to perpetrate
this blunder, in a distinction of race and
color, and that to this day he adheres to
his original plan, notwithstanding the er
ror has times-without number been poin
ted out by Sumner & Co.?
A radical newspaper, having brought
out the name of George Landon, of Brad
ford county, as a candidate for United S.
Senator to succeed Mr. Buckalew, Col.
M'Clure, (Republican) asked if any body
has bequeathed Landon half a million dol
lars lately. Did - Cameron's election cost
him that sum ?
The President called on Mr. Peabody
last Saturday, and complimented him for
his munificent gift for the education of
Southern youth.
—The Secretary of the Treasury offers a
reward of 82500 for -the arrest of Wm.
Lee, alias Geo. Palmer, alias George Ro
gers,- who absconded from the U. S.
Treasury with $36,000 in Government se
curities. $3OOO is also offered for the re
covery of the money.
A BRIGHT LEGISLATOR.—The Wiscon
sin legislator who blew ont the gaslight
and came near suffocating was among
thoie who voted to " instruct" Senator
Doolittle how to do his duty. Bright
Legislator that, and a capital instructor.
—London has a pneumatic or air tube
railway for the transportation of light
goods, which has worked so' well that a
similar, bqt much larger tube, for the car
riage of passengers, is being constructed
in the bed of the Thames river, and, accor
ding to last reports, is rapidly approach
ing completion.
lezz:l
—lt is a Bad commentary upon the pros
perity and " fast" habits of the last, few
years in America, that since 1850 nearly
all our State penitentiaries have double
the number of their inmates.
.---The Radicals of the Maine Legisla
ture have repealed the statute which pro
hibited the intermarriage of whites with
negroes, Indians and mulattoes. Some o
