New York, May 31.-The reports of
Gen. Pope and Col. Shepherd on the Mo-
bile Riot are Published. Gen. Pope de-
clares that the Mayor took no steps to pre-
vent the disturbance which everybody
expected, and that the Chief of Police was
either in sympathy with the rioters, or
unfit for his Office. He removed them for
criminal misconduct, and emphatically af-
firms that another riot will not occur while
their successors hold office.
Col. Shepherd, who was present at the
meeting, says that Judge Kelley's speech
was dignified and patriotic, and fully ac~
quits hiEa of provoking the disturbance
| The Herald's Matamoras correspondent
says Gen. Diaz has released several hun
| dred lmperialist prisoners, with the under
| standing thai their cases will be disposed
| of by the government at some other time
The Heralds special says Judge Kelley
delivered the closing speech of his South
ern campaign at Dniville, Virginia, yes
terday. The usual crowd was assembled
with the addition of several lady teachers
of colored schools on the platform, and

the close.
An Ogdensburg correspondent of the
Herald says Gen. ONeil the Fenian leader
has been travelling incognito through
Canada during the past six weeks, and on
Monday, arrived at Wellington by per-
mission of the commandant at that place,
he then returned safely to the American
| side.
The Herald's Montreal special says ru-
mors of Fenian invasion created no ex-
citement here, the people laughed at the
| reports, and look upon them az very
| transparent attempt to hoax the Cana
| dians, and cheat the United States
| out of portion of its custom duties
The government of the New Dominion of
| Canada is to'be organized with Mr.. BesIean
| as Lieutenant Governor and Messrs. Nc
Donald, Campbell McDougall, Howlandt
| Harteer, Gait, McGee, and Langwin, as
Ministers of State.
The Herald's Annapolis, Nd, special
says: The adoption of the substitute, by
the convention, for the twenty-fourth arti
Gle of the bill of rights, as originally re-
| ported by the Committee on Bill of Rights,
by the large majority of seventy-six to
twenty-four, fairly and clearly defined the
position of the body on the question. The
substitute reads shat slavery shall not be
re-established in this State, but having
been abolished under the policy and au~
thority of the United States, compensation
in consideration thereof is due from the
United States" The original article was
simply that slavery shall not be permitted
in the State.
The Heralds special says the testimony
of Gen. Eckert, formerly Assistant Secreta-
| nv of War, confirms the statements that
Booths diary is now in the condition it
was when first seen by him.
1t is estimated that the registry in South
Carolina, when completed, will show forty
FIVE thousand white to sixty thousand black
| voters.
The Times special says in the Maryland
| Constitutional Convention, on Tuesday
Mr. Peters, delegate, said he had received
| letter from Charles OCOnnor, at New
York, in which he expressed the opinion
that slavery has never been lawfully abol
ished, and that the amendment to that eflec
has no place in the constitution. Mr.. Pc
tiers quoted this opinion to sustain his argu
anent in favor of allowing slaveholders I,
claim compensation for enaneipated slaves
