New. York, August 2S.-Fenian
affairs i'll this city are looking up. Mr..
Stephens and the escaped Dublin pris-
oners are sketching out their proposed
battle-ground. In consequence of their
renewed activity considerable aid is
forthcoming in the way of contribu-
tons. Mr.. Stephens will probably
leave for Troy today on his western
tour. The rival Head Quarters of the
Roberts faction are preparing vigor-
ously for the coming Senate caucus nj
Troy on Thursday. 1t is expected that
this Congress will finally decide wheth-
er it is eXpedient to inaugurate another
Canada invasion. 1t is rumored that
President Roberts has sent n special
messenger to Ireland to report on the
state of Fenian affairs there. Canada
is entirely relieved of her fears of an
invasion for the present, but she is in
no hurry to get rid OF her defensive
force. The troops at Fort Erie have
been ordered to break camp, but the
active reorganization of the militia
still continues.

The New Orleans RIOt-.-RepOrL Of she
MiIIfnrY d,nmnIHsInn

NEW YORK, August 2S.-The Times
New Orleans special says: The COM
mission appointed by General Baird,
to Investigate the late riot have COM
pleted their labors, and their report
will show that the first shot fired from
u revolver was by white man at n
procession of freedmen. Twenty min
utes then expired before any further
disturbance took place. When the
procession reached the place where the
Convention was i'll session, the police
intertered with it, and attempting to
make arrests, fired upon the freedmen,
who returned the lire. a mob of citi-
zens then Joined the police, and the
great massacre commenced. 1t also
SHOWS that several policemen had their
badges so rs not to be recognized, and
after entering the hall they Cisregarled
the white flag, and fired indiscriminate-
~ upon the unarmed members of the
Convention and spectators. Some of
the citizens wore badges indicating an
organization. Those in the room, then,
with chairs, &c, drove the police and
attacking party out, and barricaded the
doors. After the barricade was estab-
lished, not single person in the build
ing escaped unframed, and about
thirty were murdered. 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
hehlly III inc murders that were COM
mitted. The evidence shows that the
policemen killed freedmen when they
could have arrested then without
trouble, and that the wounded negroes
were thrown in IL cart, and had been
Killed while struggling to free them
selves from the dead bodies which had
been placed on top of them. The COM
mission will report that tho riot was
caused by bitter feelings on the part of
the citizens and police towards radical
Unlonists; and they will also probably
report that it was preconcerted, mas
much as it is in evidence that it was
talked of previously for several DAYS.
It is the opinion of the commission, that
II the military had not appeared ut the
time it did, the riot would have pro-
crossed to the determination of all the
