The Committee on the Conduct of the
War resumed their labors to-day, examin-
ing six witnesses, among them General
Doubleday, the general subject of inquiry
being rebel property and its treatment by
our Generals. Mayor of Alexandria, before
the Committee, said that more than 600
loyal persons in the city proposed a draft
bill providing that persons who left be-
fore Ellsworth was killed, and since re-
turned, be required to take the oath of al
legiance under penalty of banishment from
the city or imprisonment.
The Mayor also called upon the Secreta-
~ of War to urge the confscation of pror-
erty worth half a million, belonging to
one Dangerheld, notorious rebel, who is
believed to have communication with the
enemy. The Secretary of War said that
he gave him pass within the lines on the
word Of Reyerdy johnson, his father-in-
faw, and other well known loyal persons,
but would investigate the matter. f-|

The Fall of New Orleans.

The glorious news Of the capture Of
New Orleans by the Federal fleet sent up
the river from the Gulf, has been re-
ceived and confirmed, Says a Washing
ton dispatch Of the e5!h "The news
from New Orleans, which has come
through several Rebel sources, is deemed
here Of the utmost importance. What
England failed 10 do, with ali her power,
has been handsomely accomplished by
New England. The manner in which the
success at Forts Jackson and 81, Philip
was followed up, is highly commended. L.
Ia thirty hours cur brave men consum,
mated their victory, and appeared before
the great city Of the South West to re.
ceive its submission" A dispatch in the
Richmond papers Of the same day, dated
Mobile, Friday, says: "the Union gunboat.
passed Forts Jackson and st. Phillip al
= o'clock on Thursday morning, and, at
o'clock the same afternoon, we're before
New Orleans"
The telegraph operator having lef; the
city, no particulars of the capture have,
40 yet, been received. 1t is stated, how
ever, that the operator subsequently at.
tempted 10 return, and found the city in
possession Of the UEion troops.
1t is probable that the city surrendered
without resistance, after the fleet made
its appearance, no formidable "turlles'
or Grams" being encountered.
A special to the Chicago Times, dated
Fort Wright, sGth, says;
"From deserters we learn that New
Orleans IS in Por:er's quiet possession
The Federal fleet passed Fort Jackson or
Thursday after desperate naval engage
ment, in which one vessel was sunk ant
several badly damaged. 1t is supposed
the Federal loss is very heavy. Th,
rebel loss was 60 killed and lS4 wounded
The engagement lasted part oftwo days

COLUMBUS, April Goth, 1869.
1t is said that, as long as there are
more men in the Legislature who own
dogs than there are who own sheep. there
cannot be a dog law passed, for the bene,
fit and protection of the community
against dogs. This rule holds good as
far as the passage Of law goes, in the
present Legislature. The House passed
a bill, as good. probably, as can be put
in force under the present Constitution. n.-
It went to the Senate they struck it out,
and substituted Bierce's miserable apology
for dog law. 1t is the one | gave a
short description Of last week. Ii pro.
vides that a man shall list his dog for tax.
alton, and, il killed, damages can only be
claimed for the amount Tor which said
dog was put on ,he tax list. Now, this
looks to me like law to project dogs. II
n man puts his dog down at ten or twenty
dollars, ;he tax will be only about as
many cents or. it some boy has a
most miserable, mean cur, but, notwilh-
standing. one he thinks much of, he has
only to put him in to the list at a high
price, and the poor "cuss" is protected by
law, to the extent Of his appraised value
On the other hand. if the dogs are put il
at what they are worth, say from six cents
up to quarter OF dol!ar-wi!l the tax
pay for putting it on the duplicate. or ior
collecting?
The Senate insist on cutting down the
State School levy two tenths OF mill; th,
House will not recede a Committee o
Conference is appointed.
The House had the general appropri
alton bill under consideration yesterday
P. NJ, and to-day until two O'Clock. Tn,
contingent funds for all the officers in III
State House, were struck ou.. and S5, 00(
added TO the Governors fund for thes,
purposes. The appropriations for thu
clerk in the State Library and clerk o
the Commissioner of Common Schools
were also struck out. and the amount 70
the payment Of clerks in other Offices
much reduced. 1t passed the House BY
a vote of 68 to 10.
In the Cincinnati Daily Times of Apri
