The Reports of the New Orleans Riot

The Reports OF the New Orleans Riot.
From the World.
The publication of the majority report of
the Committee appointed to investigate the
New Orleans riot, affords the radical press
the expected opportunity to use that report
for the precise purpose for which it seems in
tended, viz, as a warrant for the extreme
measures radicalism intends to inhict on the
South. The Tribune ''does not purpose to
recapitulate the narrowing story of the Com
mittee; but it fills column with 'the
bloody day." the Savage brutality of Mon
roe's Rebel police" the preparations for
the massacre under the shield of municipal
authority" "Mayor Monroe and his municipal
ruthans, " and generally all the mud, blood,
ana thunder" through which tradition makes
General jackson wade to the armpits in Chal-
mette swamp before he won the great 0rigi-
nal battle of New Orleans. The Herald, on the
other hand, which represents an extremer
radlcalism than the Iribune's, says that the
report elicits nothing new that "the main
point OF the whole special plea" is to make
OUT the charge that the President aided
and abetted, If not instigated, the riot that
u Is am 'electioneering report" to offset the
resident ,'electioneering speech" at ot'
i.Ouis, ~ ls III lOf rat, ana tine pot CALLING
the Kettle black" The Tribune, however,
sounds the keynote for lesser radical journals
throughout the country, and its groans and
lamentations over the "horrors" revealed by
the report threaten protracted revival of the
oid hoWls and the old mock-turtle tears over
the outrages of the once unhappy Kansas.
IL Is unnecessary to call attention to more
tnah these ines three points in the majority report;
- mat 1t attempts to fasten the whole
blame OF the riot upon Mayor Monroe and his
municipal police. 2. Failing in this, it would
1x the entire responsibility upon the Presi-
dent o. The weakness of this effort, which
the report Itself makes most ludicrous
failure, compels the Committee to fall back
upon the grand summing up of the whole, to
which all the mass of yerbiage is but
preliminary:-"That the present civil Govern
ment OF Louisiana should be suspended by act
of Congress, and a Provisional Government
established by military power"
This is the sum and substance of the report
and, as the Tribune does not purpose to reca-
pitulate the narrowing story, with equal con-
sideratiOn for the already well-bored public we
refrain from .reprinting the undoubted and
irretutable evidence of the radical origin of the
riot so widely published last summer, and
content ourselves by presenting the full
text of the minority report of the same Com
mittee, promising that, while il carries oonvic-
tion with 1t that the riot is not due to the

GENTLEMAN BEFORE MARRIAGE.

Nj dearest duck; my sweetest girl,
love you most sincerely,
Id rather own his sunny curl
Than win fortune yearly
This little hand, so soft and white,
Was only made for kisses
This little form so fraI and light,
Was made for gauzy dresses
I'll keep my Kate a span Of grays,
A carriage and pony
Pn go with her to balls and plays,
And never speak Of money
For her I'll buy romauces new
Attending to her pleasure
And poems bound in gold and blue,
I'll order for my treasure.
Our lives shall be but one sweet dream
OF love and sunny weother,
No adverse wave shall eros, the stream
OF welded bliss forever.
AFTER MARRIAGE.
You always talk Of plays and balls;
You are forever flirting,
AMI scribling rhymes, and making calls
Aud never making shrins
You smile in every whi>kered face,
You chase all silly fashions
You load with jewels, fl4unl in lace,
And show your angry passions.

And dry your eyes with laughter
