gram, dated 10th, says:
The majority report of the New Orleans
Riot Committee is published. It says the
time has fully arrived when Congress should
secure a Republican form of GoVernnent to

surrender of the rebel armies the rebellion
has assumed another form, and now controls
the Government through the same agencies
that led their armies; and the present civil
government of Louisiana should be suspen-
ded, and proper military government be
established and maintained until Louisiana
is controlled by loyal men.
A bill accompanies the report that the

cation process from the u s Courts

sigkt. had conversation with Sidney
Oliver concerning this matter, about four
or::6ve o'clock in the morning, in the din.

The Commonwealth proposed to aek
ths witness whether Sidney Oliver DID
not tell him on the morning after the
difiieulty, that he saw Arlington have a
knife, and that witness replied, yes,
God f-sav It. too. This for the purpose
of refreshing witness memory.
Defendant, by his counsel, obieet be-
cause il is hearsay, and Sidney Oliver
should be called upon. Because, also,
it was a conversation in the absence OF,
defendant 1t has nothing TO do with
this case. He is their own witness, and
has already declared three times, dis.
tisctly, that he did not see knife ir
defendants hands; and outside deelsra>
tisos of third parties cannot be received
as evidence.
The Conrt suggested chat the prosecn.
tips should draw up their proposition SO
az not 10 include ths reply the witness
made. They would moi receive it in its
present shape. II
Mr.. Thompson, said with all due re-
specs, he wished the Court to place upon
i the record his objection to the changing
of the Commonwea this proposition, after
the defendant had filed hiz ahj ections
The Court said they would entertain
no such proposition. There was nothing
now before the Court. We refused to
receive the first proposition. They have
now drawn up another. r
The prosecution proposed to ask the
witness if be bad conversation with
Sidney Oliver De tho morning after the
difficulty about knife; this for the pur'
pose of re reshing the wituess' memory.
