mence. The recent success Of this party at
the polls, is. in the Boards opinion, due,
first to the fact that Us candidate ,oas pecu
harry. identified toith the Confederate cause,
and secondly, to the unfortunate apathy of
the best classes Of the community on the
subject Of municipal elections, which ap-
pears to be the curse Of large cities, aud re.
suits in throwing the Government thereof
into unworthy hands.
The Commission have thus eudcavored
to give, as concsely as possible, the conclu-
sions at which they have been compelled to
arrive on the subject oftbe csuses of and
responsibility for the recent bloodshed.-
What If any action is called for, is for the

THE NEW ORLEANS MAssA-

The Report Of the Military Commits
sion appointed by Gen. Sheridan to in
vestigate the New Orleans Massacre is
published in full herewith. The Re-
port has been for weeks locked up in
the War Department, Notwithstanding
the universal demand for its publica-
ton. There was reason to fear it had |
been entirely suppressed, but its pub
lication has at last been permitted -
the President, doubtless, thinking its
publication at so late day would not
seriously injure his cause at the elec-
tions in the great Middle States.
The whole responsibility for this
frightful massacre is plaeed upon the
Rebel civil athoritics, and through
them upon President Johnson. The
Convention was a peaceable body of
citizens, unarmed and defenceless.--
The negro procession was unarmed--
only two or three pistols were in their
hands. This peaceable and defenceless
procession was first attacked by armed
Rebel soldiers, who came sweeping
through the streets in answer to the
tolling bells, which summoned them to
the work of massacre. The police,
purposely kept back until the bloody
work had commenced, then advanced
in three columns, firing on the negroes
and the Convention. The police, near
ly all of whom were Rebel soldiers, fell
upon the poor negroes, who carried
the United States flag in procession,
and blindly trusted to its protection,
drove them into the building, after
killing and manning many, and then
turned upon the Convention and "pur-
sued the work of massacre with a
cowardly ferocity unsurpassed in the
annals of crime" The Board think,
but for the arrival of troops, "ire and
bloodshed would have ragged through.
out the night in all negro quarters OF
the city, and that the lives and property
of Unionists and Northern men would
, have been at the mercy of the mob"
In his speech at st. Louis, made, too
, when the facts were we'll known to him
Mr.. johnson declared "every man il
the Convention to be traitor" anC
that Congress was ''the cause and ori
gin of every drop of blood that was
a shed" We put against that declara
e ton, made to crowd of applaudins
4 Copperheads, the statements of Sheri
:, dan, Baird, and the Military Commis
y sion of American soldiers, presided
L over by Maj. Gen. Mower.
y We hope our readers will give thi
= Report careful reading. No wonde
:, Andrew johnson was reluctant to con
. sent to its publication.

THE COUNTY BUILDING PUR-
CHASE,

Two County Commissioners met this
morning, for the purpose of consumating
the purchase of the Odd Fellows Build
ing; but Grim refused to appear. This
will necessitate delay Of Ave days. for
publication of notice. It has been claimed
and Mr.. Grim has himself asserted. that
the absent Commissioner was only OPP
posed to the purchase on account Of is
original largeness Of terms-that he would
vote to pay $4,000 for the building,
Now we have full evidence of the secret
and determined design Of Jones and Grim
to keep and ultimately to possess the
Building Fund moneys. We hope the
people are now thoroughly spprised Of the
character Of these two beauties-Jones
and Grim.
