The New ORLEANS RIoT. T.-Testimony
taken before the Congressional committee
appointed to inquire into the origin and
inception of the great riot in New Orleans
last summer goes to show that the riot
would not have occurred if the precau-
tionary measures originated by the Lieuten-
ant Governor had been carried out :. that it
was investigated by the acts and attempted
usurpations of the conventionists them
selves, encouraged by Radical congressman,
was not plot of Mayor Monroe; that the
first shot was fired at the police by negro
that Gov. Wells deserted his post of duty
in the most cowardly manner, after lending
his official sanction to the conspiracy and
that all the acts Of the President in the mat
ter show that he was actuated by sincere
desire to uphold law and preserve peace.

New STATRs.-The bill for the admission
of Nebraska has passed over the President s
veto.
Colorado, with smaller population than
several counties in this State, and not half
enough to entite it by virtue of population
to single member of Congress, has been
made State, both houses Of Congress
having voted the measure through despite
the veto of the President. Nebraska,
with a population about equal to Mani
towoc county, has also been made State
in the same manner, and in each case in
order to get an additional radical into Con.
gress. ''The mills of the gods grind slow
ly," but in the end they will grind Radical
ism to powder for it's offences.

The Radicals as Revolutionists,

A correspondent off the Milwaukee NeUs
who was until lately member of the radi-
cal party. writes from Washington to that
paper, showing up some of the revolution
ary acts of the radical members of the pres
ent Congress:
''The majority in congress came to Wash
ington the present season flushed with sue
cess at the polls and intoxicated by the en-
thusiasm aroused during heated political
canvass. In their overwrought imagina-
tions many Of the falsehoods uttered on the
stump were veritable realities or within the
range Of probabilities. OF the latter class
was that attrlbuting to the president de-
sign not to recognize the present congress
but another body made up of northern
democratic members and members elect
from the so-called confederate states. A
more foolish or absurd suggestion never en-
tered any sane mans head /; but neverthe-
less it was acted upon as if true. A few
zealots arrived at the seat of government
long before the time for congress to assem-.
BILE. What the real object of their visit was
has never been published and I NAV
as we'll state the reason here, for the
people have yet to realize upon what a vol

gulphed. They came here not to concert
schemes to be carried out by peaceful legis-
lation in congress, but by force of arms
1t men in a position to know can be b1liev-
ed, at the opening of the present session of
congress, million of armed men were ready
to be thrown into the capital on very short
notice. The civil ovation rendered to the
majority was but screen to cover the real
intention, and in case of failure or expos
ure, the authors from the indignation of an
outraged people. Not only were the '.Loy.
al Leaguers' Of this city under arms, but
arms were in readiness to be distributed to
the thousand Of negroes who infest the dis.
trict 1t is moreover alleged that of the
number enlisted for the enterprise five hun
dred thousand were returned soldiers-or-
ganlzed under the auspices of the Pittsburg
convention-and the militia of one large
state had been reorganized to be used at the
dictum of few revoutionists. And all
this because, forsooth, of a mere rumor-
repeatedly contradicted-that the president
might attempt to do something the extrem-
lstS might consider usurping authority.

AN INDIAN WAR-The government is
now making earnest preparations for gen.

The late massacre in the vicinity of Sand

Lincoln is confirmed. The train is spoken
of as a Government train, and only four out

ennes have been seen several times near the
settlements, and the Arrapahoes have pass
ed through settlements, being afraid to go
home by their usual route across the head
waters Of the Saline and Solomon forks
The Kaws, also, are reported to be gather
ing in large bodies with the hostile Indians
near the frontier settlements Advices
from the Platte state that the force of Indi-
ans which has marched south on the war
path is 1900. There are not United States
forces enough to cope with this number in
that part Of the country, but several thousand
troops have recently passed through Chica-
60 westward for the scene of action.

'MANITowoC TAXES Es-We learn that the
taxes of 1866 in one of the wards of the vii
lage of Manitowoc, are thtrtythre and one
third per cent of the assessed valuation of
the property Thank Fortune, we dom t
live there If we did, we would say to the
tax gatherer, take the property for the

chip in search of a better location, where
tax-imposers do not "break through" all

of the dear public, everything man can

Times, and say in reply to that journal,
for its information, and for the information
of everybody else who desires to be eniight-

amen to the ejaculation of the editor,
wherein he thanks fortune that he does
not live there" We don't want him,
neither do we want any other non-tax
payer, although during the last year our
lumber mills haye been largely employed in
cutting timber, and our housecarpenters
almost exclusively engaged in furnishing
dwellings for the disguised citizens Of She
boygan, who have been fleeing from that
bankrupt city as the ancients fed from
Sodom-to our living village. Talk about
taxes and encumbrances, why, there is

REPUBLICAN DETECTION IN CoNNECTI-
THE opening of the political cam
paign in Connecticut is pleasantly distin-
guished by the announcement that the
present Lieutenant Governor and Secretary
of State-both chosen on the Republican
ticket year ago-wni this year support the
Democratic nominees. The Lieutenant
Governor writes strong letter announcing
the reasons which lead him to desert the
Radical party. He says he stands on the
Baltimore platform of 1864, on the John
son Philadelphia platform of 1866, and on
the Republican platform of 1866 in Con-
necticut, but he does not approve of this
year platformo of that organization. The
Republican majority in Connecticut last
year was 54l.

HEAVY SNoWsToRMS IN EUROPE. The
winter has been as severe in England and
on the continent as in the United States.
\ private letter from Paris, dated on the
18th of January, reports that the cold Is
intense and everything covered with frost
and snow. The heaviest fall Of snow for
many years took place in Scotland on the
18th and 18th of January railways were
blocked up, and one fatal collision occurred.
In London, Jan 18th, another heavy snow
storm occurred. The mercury fell to two
degrees below zero, navigation on the
Thames was suspended, and the public
works at Blackiriar bridge and the Thames
embankment were stopped. No boats had
arrived at Dover from Calais tor three days,
owing to the blockade Of the French rail
roads by snow, and the consequent deten
ton of passengers. The English coal traffic
was also impeded.

Beaver Dam was severely injured, recently,
by drinking lye which was offered her By
some one who playfully represented that it
was beer. The whole inside of her mouth
and stomach were so badly burned that ii
was first feared she would not live through
the night. 4 physician was called; afte,
some blundering treatment, who gave her
simply grease, the natural antidote of alkali,
and the patient grew easier. Hopes are en-
tertained of her recovery, although the in

with success. On the 10th, Wood, one of
