wax flowers, and hair work beautiful.
The show of sheep is as good as antici-
pated-of American merinos superior to
any ever held here-other varieties
almost entirely wanting.
or cattle there is not large number,
but the quality of those exhibited is
excellent.
The exhibition of swine is large in
number and excellent in quality.
The show of horses is not equal to ex-
pectation but very fair.
Mechanics Hall was PR crcegsnce one Of
the most attractive features Of the show,
containing large variety of apples,
grapes, pears, vegetables. &c. sc.

GARIBALDI IN DEBr.-Garibaldi has is
sued circular stating that he has run
In debt TO the amount of some S2l 900
in undertaking his expedition for the
liberation Of Italy, and says that though
the persons to whom he is indebted do
not press their demands, they neverthe'
less will be greatly troubled and some of
them ruined by their non-payment, He
therefore appeals to the public for the
amount, to the disgrace of the Italian
government, which ought TO assume the
paltry debt.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1866.
The Prospect.


Never since the birth of the Republi-
can party were the prospects for a full
and complete victory over their oppon-
ents better than they are at the present
time. From all portions of the country,
we have the most cheering indications,
not oaly from Republican sources, but
from the fearful and frightened party
which advocates the doctrines of John
son and mis- advisers.
The hope of the opposition was that
the course Of Congress at its last session
would cause falling off in its support
by the people, and gain for them in the
fall elections an addition to their
strength in that body by swinging
around the circle" to their schismatic
doctrines of some doubtful districts"
The hopes for such additional strength
is, since the Vermont and Maine cleo
tions, abandoned by their most sanguine
leaders, and these, with the prominent
journals Of their party, are now COM
PEELED to admit that the Republicans
will, by the October and November cleo
lions, add to their working majority in
Congress, thus effectually and over
whelmingly crush the purposes Of Andy
Johnson and the hopes of his support
ers.
The reception given the President
and the civilian portion of his party on
their recent electioneering raid by the
yeomanry Of the Central and Western
States, must have tended to convince
that official that his policy of revolu-
tionizing the Republican party,-the
party which successfully brought the
country through fiery ordeal of four
years OF bloody war,-was q suicidal
one, and that their confidence was re-
posed not in the acts of an accidental
President, but in the deliberations of
Congress-the Congress of the people
and in it's deliberations only. These
evidences Of displeasure had hardly
reached the batlled ears of tie President
when the lightning's flash over the tele-
graph wires conveyed him the uncheer-
ing news that the masses of Vermont
and Maine had reverberated at the bal
lot-box, by crushing majorities for Con-
gress and its acts, the opinions expressed
by the people which he had just heard,
and on Tuesday next the copper John
son party will receive even a more crush |
ing blow than any which it has yet re- |
ceived since the passage of the Freed
mems Bureau and Civil Rights bills.
On that day the four great States of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa
hold their annual elections, and the
friends OF freedom in these States are |
confident that they will strike even more |
decisive blows at the usurper and his
coadjutors than did their brethren in
Vermont and Maine.
But the final blow is reserved for the
sturdy Unionists of New York, Illinois,
Michigan, Massachusetts and other
States in November, and we have assur-
anCe from them that shutdown on the
day of election in those States will wit
ness the full and final overthrow in all
States north Of the old Mason and Dix
on's line Of my policy" and it's adhe.
rents.

Mayor Monroe well
knew that before the
excited passions Of the
mob, it would be as a
barrier Of straw to fire;
that no troops had
been asked for, and
without the presence
ofpOliCe violence, was
inevitable. w h en-,
therefore, he withdrew
and massed his armed
police, and on the
breaking out of the
riot precipitated them
upon the scene, the
Board are compelled
to conclude that he
knew what their action
would be, and that he
intended the inevitable
consequence of his
own acts.

"Look Upon This Picture and on

The strength of the report Of the mil.
itary commission appointed by Gen.
Sheridan to investigate the causes of the
New Orleans massacre, lies less in its di-
rect statements, strong and startling as
they are, than in the accumuative force
of the evidence it presents. The report
is an uninterrupted chain Of facts and
logic which is Injured by quotation,
We give, however, for general instruction,
a few of the instances in which Mr..

THE AMERICAN BIBLE UN1oN.-The
seventeenth annual meeting of the
America Bible Union (Baptist) was
held in New York on Wednesday. Dur
ing the past year the receipts were $40
112, and the outlay $42, 844. Rev. DR..
Armitage made long argument, in
which he endeavored to prove that the
word "immerse' should be used in the
Scritures instead of "baptize." 1t was
stated in the annual report that the i'm
provements in the revised New Tesla
ment count by thousands, and some
times there are from twenty to forty on
page. The number of copies Of the
Scripture issued was 545,974.

MAYOR MONROE.

Mayor Monroe to-
night submitted a mes
sage to the City Coun-
Gil, in which he speaks
of the riot Of the 30th
of July as caused by
men who claimed to be
members of the defunct
convention of 1864, and
those who affiliated
with them, declaring
their object to be ne
gro suffrage, and the
disfranchisement of
every man who parti-
cipated in the rebel
lion, who with violent
harangues melted the
negroes by promises of
honor and emolument
to participate. He re-
views the negotiations
he had with Gen. Baird
and claims that he was
ready to suppress the
riot, but Gen. Baird
was not. He says the
following. important
facts were conclusiYely
established by eye-wit-
nesses First, that the
police were first fired
upon on the neutral
ground, while discharg-
ing their duty, by mem
bers of the convention:
second, that the first
shots fired at the Insti-
tute were from win
dOws of the edifice, by
white and black people
within; and asserts
that it was reserved for
Gen. Baird to unlock
the prison cells and
let the black and white
ringleaders loose upon
the city, without hope
of Identification, to
make political capital
for Radical enemies of
the reconstruction pol
icy of his commander,

TIE REPORT.

r." o.
The immediate Caus-
rs of this riot. which
the board are directed
to investigate are, in
their opinion, to be
found in the violent
feelings of hostility to-
wards the so-Called con
veutiOn of 1864, which
has for some time pre-
vailed in the commu-
nifty, and which was fl
nally by the course Of
events famed into the
flame ofau actual out
break Of riot, massacre
and bloodshcd.
Before describing
further operations, the
Board would call atten-
ton to the evidence
concerning the CharaC-
ter of the mob acting
in S0ODDrt and i'm rom
cert with the police,
and the reason there
appears to he to infer
that some organization
or bands of eX-Confed-
crate soldiers came by
some prearranged pur-
pose to the attack. = 4
The Board cannot but
think that any person
examining the evil
dence must come to
the conclusion that
such associations were
present in pursuance
of a pre-arranrcd and

You will also find that
the convention did as
semble in violation of
law, and that the in
tentiOn Of that Conven-
ton was to supcrcede
the recognized author
ties in the State Gov
eminent of Louisiana,
which had been recog-
nized by the govern
ment Of the United
States, and every man
engaged in that rebel
lion, in that cOnven-
ton, with the intention
of superseding aud up
turning the civil gov
eminent, which had
been recognized by the
government of the Uni
ted States, | say he was
a traitor to the COnsti-
tuition of the United
States. And hence YOU
find that another rebel
lion was commenced,
having its origin in the
Radical Congress. SO
much for the New Or
leans riot, and there
was the cause and the
origin of the blood that
was shed, and every
drop Of blood that was
shed rests upon their
skirts, and they are
responsible for it.
