Such are the conditions under which tbo

The New Orleans Riot.
REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING COM
MITTEE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Thc "Tiaes"
New Ooeans special says that the commits
sion appointed by General Baird to investi-
gate the late riot have completed their lab
ors, and their report will show that the
lirst shot fired from n revolver was by
white man at a procession of freedmen.
Twenty minutes then expired before any
further disturbance took place. When the
procession reached the place where the Con-
vention was in session the police interfered
with it, and attempting to make arrests
fired upon the freedmen who returned the
fire.
a mob of citizens then joined the police
and great massacre commenced. 1t also
shows that several policeman hid their bad
ges so as not to be recognized. and after
entering the hall they dsregarded the white
flag and fired Unfortunately upon UNI
armed members of the Convention and
spectators. Some citizens wore badges in
dicating an organization.
Those in the room then with chairs, &C.
drove the police and attacking party out
and barrcaded the doors.
After the barricade was established not a
single person in the room escaped unframed
and about thirty were murdered. While
credit is given to the police for saving the
lives of all who were in the building and
are not now dead. the force is found guilty
of nearly all the murders that were COM
mitted.
The evidence shows that the policemen
killed freedmen when they could have ar
rested them without trouble, and that
wounded negroes were thrown into carts
and killed while struggling to free them
selves from the dead bodies which had been
placed on the top of them.
The commission will report that the riot
was caused by bitter feelings on the part of
the citizens and police towards the radical
unionists and freedmen. They will also
probably report that it was preconccrted,
inasmuch as it is in evidence that it was
talked of previously for several days.
1t is the opinion of the Commission
that if the military had not appeared at the
time it did, the riot would have progressed
to the determination of all the Unionists
and Freedmen in the city
The city press are attacking General
Sheridan for what he reported in his official
dispatches, charging him with untruthlul-
ness.

The New England and Vermont
Agricultural Fairs.

The Governors of the six New England
States have accepted invitations to be pres
ent on the last day of the New England and
boro, Sept. 4th, 5th 9th and 18th. The YER
mont delegation in Congress are also eX-
pected to be present His EXcelloncy, Paul
Dillingham;, and Ex-Gov. John A. Andrew
of Massachusetts, will deliver addresses.
Welearn that the entries are already very
large in all the departments. The exhibit
ton of sheep and agricultural implements
bids fair to be the most extensive ever made
in the United States, and that of cattle and
horses will also be large. The location is
central for the exhibition Of the fine herds
of Western Massachusetts, and the horses of
Eastern Vermont and New Hampshire.
Connecticut will send contributions of all the
various classes.
The grounds are better arranged and To-
Gated than any upon which the New Eng
land Fair has yet been held. The buildings
for stock are ample, and the trotting park is
one of the best in the country. Hon. John
IlONG. Ol', VI nto Will LIS lNOuS-
toned liberality placed upon the grounds a
set of Howe's platform scales, upon which
all weighing will be done free, and thus
avoid much trouble and expense to which
exhibitors have hitherto been subjected
The Fair will be opened on Tuesday,
Sept 4th, by addresses from Hon. Joseph
Colburn, President of the Vermont State
Society, and Dr. George b. Loring, Presi-
dent of the New England Society, and close
on Friday with the annual address.
The people of Brattleboro have made the
most extensive and systematic arrangements
for the accommodation of visitors. The sew
eral railroads will run, morning and evening,
special trains for fare one way, for the ac-
commodation of those who may desire to 90
to towns along the line of these roads or
cannot procure accommodations at Brattle-
boro. The exhibition bids fair to be the
largest and best ever held in New Eng
land.

other are essential to civilization, and one
race or class may rightfully own and control
another. One of these classes made war
upon the government of the United States
to establish and perpetuate their darling the
ory; the other resisted the attempt, and not
only laborcd to support the government and
Constitution of the United States, but to de-
stroy the institution of slavery and estab-
fish and support universal freedom and
equality in Its stead. Judge yc which is the
most worthy of the confidence and support
of an enlightened and progressive people.
But it is said the two extremes have har-
monizcd; the lion and the lamb have lain
down together Massachusetts and South
Carolina have entered National Conven-
ton arm in arm. So they did in 1860, and
son of the former was made President of the
Convention held in the chief city of the lat
ter. What followed? A glance at the his
tory of the Intervening years tells the story.
Has there heen a day during these years
that this same representation from Massa-
chusetts would not have walked arm in arm
with the representatives of South Carolina
had not the conflict of contending armies
prevented itS This delegation from Massa-
chusetts had about as good n right to offer
the State in harmony with that Convention,
as the devel had to offer the kingdoms of the
world to Jesus Christ if he would fall down
and worship him.
Freemen Of Vermont! be not deceived by
the soft sounding theories and general dec
laration of the principles of the great Com
vention; the whole purpose and object is
evidently summed up in the tenth of the Sc
ries, which overaps all the rest. It is to
make proselytes to the policy of President
Johnson in the reconstruction of the States
and to defeat the measures proposed, and
abrogate the laws passed by the last Con-
gress over the Presidential vetoes. The
spccious language of the third and fourth
sections of the platform, are well calculated
to lead people TO believe that the majority
in Congress ignore the right of representa-
ton of some Of the States, and deprive them
of their just rights under the Constitution.
Nothing is more foreign to truth; it is the
fact of the loyalty of the States and the peo-
pie, lately in instruction, that Congress have
been deliberately endeavoring to investigate
during the last session.
Our State election is at hand, and the cri-
sis is too great to be careless or Indifferent;
the importance of the election is none the
less because Vermont is always true to
right principles. She should roll up such
an increased majority as to cheer the hopes
and strengthen the confidence of the friends
of equal rights and impartial justice in eve
ry State in the Union. II.

Another philadelphia Convention.

A convention Of southern loyalists is to be
held at Philadelphia on next week.
1t is to be composed of representa-
tive men from the states lately in rebellion,
who were true to the Union and the old
Flag during the dark days of secession, and
war, and who are ready to cooperate with
the Union men Of the North in rc-cstablish-
ing order at the South, and in reconstruc-
ting the Union on basis of justice and
equal rights, with proper safeguards for
future peace and security. Delegates from
the Northern states are to be sent to meet
with them, and to assure them of the strong
desire of the North for the rc-admssion of
the recreant states to be participator in
the National comsels as soon as they will
send loyal and true men. We expect much
good from the deliberations and action of
this Convention, and wish it success. AT a
meeting of the Union Republican StateCom-
mittec held at Montpelier Aug, 9th, large
delegation from Vermont was appointed to
attend this Convention. Eleven delegates
at large and ten from each of the three
Congressional districts, making fOrty-one
in all were selected. Each delegate is en-
powered to appoint substitute in case he
cannot attend. Gov Dillingham;, our two
senator's to Congress, and the three repre-
sentatives are among the delegates at large.
John w. Phelps, Abishia Stoddard and
Charles Barrett are delegates from this
county. If one fourth of those appointed
should attend, Vermont will be well repre-
scnted.

The New Orleans Riot.

The Geographic correspondence that pass
ed between the Presidedt and others at
Washington, and Gen. Sheridan and others
at New Orleans, relating to the riot that
occurred at the latter place on the Both, of
July last, has been published, and it shows
most conclusively that Mayor Monroe of
New Orleans and his associates, backed up
by the President, are the guilty parties in
this atrocious business. We print below
the dispatch of Gen. Sheridan to Gen. Grant,
at first mutilatcd by the press that publish
ed it. which gives the gist of the whole mat
ter.

30th. political body, styling itself the Convention
of 1864 met on the 30th for as It is alleged, the pur-
pose of remodeng the present Constitution OF the

liable to produce breaches Of the public peace. had
made up my mind to arrest the head men, II the
proceedings of the Convention were calculated to
disturb the tranquility OF the Department but had

40 Whites and Blacks were thus killed. and about 100
wounded. Everything is now quiet, but deem it
best to maintain military supremacy in the city for
few days, until the affair is fully investigated
believe the sentiment Of the general community is
great regret Mt this unnecessary cruelty, and that the
police could have made any arrest they saw fit with
