The New Orleans Riot...Statements
Made Before the Investigating Com

Inc NEW OTIcduS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Made Before the Investigating Com
mittee.
NEW ORLEANS, December S0.-Mayor
Monroe, after giving evidence before the
committee regarding the riot, stated that at
the outbreak of the war there was in his
opinion, but one Union man in New Orleans.
This was DR.. Dostie, who left the city under
JEFF. Davis's proclamation. He also stated
that the first secession speeches he had
heard were made by Governor Hahn and
King Cutler, and that the most prominent
States rights man and leading spirit Of the
Southern Rights Association was W.. R.
Fisher. These men are now the extreme
Union men of the Brownlow clique
Jacob Barker testified that in the event of
war with foreign power the people of the
South would stand by the government, and
that the people were loyal and anxious for
peace. In regard to the riot, he said that
the people had nothing to do with it; that
they felt very indignant at the proposition
of reviving an extinct convention for the
purpose of superseding the government in
which they had acquiesced andunder which
they were living peaceably that the people,
however, had all agreed to submit the affair
to the decision of the courts, and believed
that the proper steps had been taken with
that view when the mob came upon them
like storm,

Return of the Mississlppi Commissioners

Gen. Robert Lowry, one of the Commissioners
to Washington to interpose in behalf of Mr. Davis,
was in jackson on Wednesday The Clarion says
he brings back no word of hope or encourage
ment from the President, nor,d does he believe
there is enough conservatism left in Congress to
save US from the vortex of destruction into which
Radical misrule is carrying the countrya at railroad
speed When Messrs. Hillyer and Lowry first
called on President johnson, they were led to be-
lieye universal amnesty would soon be pro-
claimed, but couple OF weeks lator this impress
sion was removed, and they now come home con-
WINGED thatthe day of Mr.. Davis liberation is sti
far distant"
We had the pleasure last evening of an inter
view with Maj. Hillyer. He agrees substantially
with the report of Gen. Lowry, as stated by the
Clarion. Maj Hlllyer visited Mr.. Davis at For
tress Monroe. He is in fine health, considering
his long and weary confinement and bears him
self as the people of the South would expect from
their late President. Inside of the fort he has the
most perfect freedom, and but for the pressure OF
the Radicals and the indecision of President
Johnson, he would have been released long since
Their is little prospect of his being released
Maj. Hillyer is of the opinion that the design of
the Radical majority to reduce us TO Territorial
condition will be speedily consummated-over
the Presidents veto, If that is interposed.

LIQUID CATARRH REMEDY. !.
SYMPTOMS.


The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have cold, that they
have frequent attacks, and are more sensitive to
the changes of temperature In this condition
the nose may be dry, or . slight discharge, thin
and acrid, afterwards thick and adhesive, may
ensue. s.-.-
As the disease becomes chronic, the discharges,
are increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawked or
coughed off, The sccretions are offensive, caus-
ing bad breath; the voice thick and nasal; the
eyes are weak; the sense of smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place
Another common and important symptom Of
Catarrh is that the person is obliged to clear his
throat in the morning of slick or Shiny mu-
cous, which has fallen. from the head during the
night. When this takes place, the person may
be sure that his Disease is ON its way to the lungs
and should lose no time in arresting it.

3 Gov. Worth's Inaugural Message of which
we printed the important passages the other
day, begins with a false statement that makes
his whole argument idle. He informs the
Legislature that bill has been introduced
into Congress to reduce North-C Carolina to
the condition Of a Territory. We need hard
ly say that the word Territory" is not in
Mr.. Stevens bill, which simply provides for
the reorganization of the district formerly
comprising the State of North Carolina"
without establishing that form of govern
ment which, according to the laws, consti-
tutes Territory. Gov. Wortlfs term does
not expire till January 1, 1869; by that time
his political education will probably have
been improved. M p. Tribune. 2 ,

Coiored Celebration in Raleigh.

CO1Orc0 CelcDrdtlOu
MEssRs. EDITORS II do not know when
l was more gratified than was at the cele-
bration by the colored people in Raleigh, on
the first day of January, of the anniversary
of their emancipation.
At the proper time, in the course of the
day, the procession was formed, consisting
of some 1900, under Marshals, and the pro-
cession marched to headquarters, at the gov
eminent house. where they were addressed
by Gen. Bomford and Gen. Carr, of the
United States army. They then marched to
the Capitol, where they were addressed by
Gov. Worth, who gave them some good adj
vice and wished them happy New Year.
Thence they proceeded to the Guion House,
where they were addressed by Gov. Bragg.
After which they repaired to the African
Methodist Church, where they were address
sed by Gov Holden for more than two hours.
His address was replete with history, logic,
sound reason, and eloquence, and will long
be remembered by the eolored people. He
pointed out to them their true situation,
their duties, and their destiny as a people !;
and what he said was received by the vast
audience with JOY and great satisfaction.
At the conclusion of his remarks Gov.
Holden offered the following resolution,
which was adopted with great enthusiasm:
Ressleed, By one thousand people here as
| sembled, That we earnestly appeal to the
Congress of the United States to re-organize
the government of North-Carolina on the
basis of loyal white and black suffrage. b
He was followed by Rev. G. W. Brodie and
Rev. Mr.. Warrick, in excellent and appro-
| pirate addresses The day passed off as one
of the most pleasant ever experienced by the
colored people of Raleigh. IN 49,
The President of the day was SAEllison,
the Chaplain H. Hunter, the Grand Marshal
John Jones, assisted by E. Lane, C. Hay
wood, and Others. LINCOLN.

Gorernor Morth,s Sentiments.

Governor Worth, of North Carolina, deliv-
cred an inaugural to the Legislature OF that
State on the 22d inst, in which he shows that
he is tortured by a troubled mind The first
thing which annoys him is the fact that Ma
jor General Sickles had forbidden the Courts
of North Carolina ''to execute : the laws
which have C existed with US for many hun
dred years." Now, these laws, which may
have existed at the farthest, for two hundred
and three years, are those which allow of
the public whipping of men, women and
children North Carolina has so lately es-
capped from system in which whipping was
fashionable, that it is with the utmost amaze
ment that her sons hear of any objection to
such an ancient and venerable punishment
The boldness Of the Yankee General, who,
with his abolition notions"-Dan Sickles
as an Abolitionist lis shocking to North
Carolina taste. He undertakes to interfere
with North Carolina civilization, and TO as
sumo that his civilization is better than the
civilization of the old North State Such
an outrage has drawn Governor Worth to
Washington, where he went to protest to the
President against gross violation of the
Constitution, and a disregard of the ssorer-
laws VI luC
Governor congratulates the Legislature that
he has been successful. The whipping post
is restored to the grateful feelings of the
North Carolinians, and hereafter, or until
Nortll-Carolina shall have become sufficient
ly abolitionized to repeal vile and unchris-
tan system punishment, the whipping post
is to remain.
But upon the heels of that triumph, comes
threatening misfortune which looks frown-
ingy; countenance more in anger than
sorrow. The bill presented to the United
States House Of Representatives by Mr.
Stevens, which proposes to abolish the So
called State Government of North-C Carolina,
and rule the people within its boundaries as
those of a territory, shocks Governor Worth
very much. Hismost solemn cause for regret
is, that it should have issued from recreant
North Carolinians, untrue to their State.
He denounces the suggestion, and declares
that North Carolina will not submit to it.
1t is hateful, degrading, and all that sort of
thing. Now it does not seem enter the mind
of Governor Worth that North Carolina
having proved intractable when the Consti-
tutional Amendments were proposed, must
naturally expect some other action. Does
he suppose that the people of the United
States, after having conquered these Rebels,
intend to ALLOW them to dictate the terms of
their pardon2 If he does he is greatly mis-
| Philadelphia Inquirer. ie;-

WASHINGTON, jan 2-There is good au-

Monday next by MIR. Ashley, of Ohio, with
every prospect of its success. ~
The President was notified to-day of the
fact, and he expressed himself ready for the

The U. s. steamer Don leaves Annapolis
on secret mission, having on board Admi-
raj Porter and Hon. Frederick Seward, AS
sistant Secretary of State. Her destination

heared from until she returns home It is
not true that Gen. Grant accompanies the

Itmay be said, on the best authority, that
the statements heretofore published purpor-
ting to give the substance of this report are
wholly fallacious, and very wide of the facts.
The report cannot be styled as free trade re-
port, as it recommends an increase Of the tariff
wherever it can be borne. It is simply a
plain, lucid, common sense statement of the
results ola patient and intelligent investiga-
ton into the condition of our industrial af-
fairs, the reason for the imposition of the
tariff and the effect of certain rates of tart #
upon certain classes of commodities in New
York. -

Qua MINES AsAIS.-The excitement
in the community for the past few days,
and which has not entirely abated,
caused BY the attempt Of certain parties
in the city Of San Francisco, to depre-
ciate the stock Of the 0verman mine,
to their pecuniary advan tage, demands
more than = passing notice. 1t cannot
be viewed in any other light, than a
great wrong, to remove from n trust of
great responsibility a Superintendent,
before the time for which he was elected
had expired, for the sole reason that his
sense of honor, integrity and fidelity to
the interest Of all, without Partially,
would not permit him to be made a pill
ant instrument to ~impoverish many by
adopting duplicity and sacrificing truth.
In order to render such action futile ms
was e~udeavored to be contaminated by
the stock jobbing bulls and bears in San
Francisco the people Of Nevada must be
in possession of the power to check-mate
all intrigues at the metropolis OF Cali
fornia, detrimental to the mining pros
peri,y of this State. Capital ut first
may appear to be a barrier to so desira-
bio an end. II was at an earlier period
when the Development of our mines
were in embryo. 1t is n so at pres
mt. The advantage taken Of the peo-
pie Of Nevada when the mining interest
Of the community had no permanent n
u~sncial character should speedily be re-
mided, and the remedy should be
adopted in with the principles
oflaw equity andjustice to all concerned.
The mining corporations whose works
are located in Nevada, should through
an act OF the Assembly, be legally COM
PEELED to have their principal officer for
the transaction Of the business OF the
companies established in this State.
Also 3 portion Of the Trustees Of said
corporations should be obliged to reside
in the same. All meetings have BUSH
ness relating to the interest of the in
corporared mining companies or unin-
~corporated should be held in this State.
As long rs these companies are permit
ted to control and regulate their bnsi-
ness in San Francisco, which should
properly be transacted in this State, the
financial interest Of the anne to a great
or less extent will be at the caprice aud
mercy of such Individuals who made an
abortive attempt to ruin the interests Of
the citizens here, who are stockholders
in the Overmau mine. An exhorbitant
tax on the mining interest Of the coun-
try should not be imposed. There is
bu, one remedy. the people of the
State, through their representatives,
have the power 10 aba,ea II grievous evil.
Will they demand the application? Or
shall the coils Of the anaconda at San
Francisco be allowed to continue en-
circliug his victim until crushed to
death >. Let n law be enacted that the
principle office of the mining corpora
lions with = portion Of the Trustees
shall locate where the works Of said
company are constructed.
