THE NEW ORLEANS RIOT INVESTI-
CATION - CHARACTER OF THE
TESTIMONY.
From the New Orleans Times

From the New Orleans Times.
A great many witnesses have been exam
ined by this committee who have testified
in direct contradiction on the main points
ofinquiry. Both in regard to the fact Of
the riot and the temper and disposition OF
our people, there is a great mass of contra
dictory testimony. In a court Of Justice
where the proceedings are public, and the
examinatinos are conducted by counsel,
there would be little difficulty indetermin-
ing in such conflicts on which side the
weight Of evidence lay. This would be done
by comparing the witnesses in regard to
their reputation and standing in the com
munitv. Ii respectable citizens, well known
for truth snd honesty, were arrayed against
an even larger number of witnesses, eth er
unknown 20 the community, or of we'll
known bad reputation, no court or jury
would feel anv embarrassment in deciding
the matter testified to- The great obsta-
Gle to a successful and satisfactory result Of
the investigation now going on in this city,
arises from the secrecy of the proceedings,
the absence of counsel, and the consequent
impossibility Of showing the character OF
the witnesses who are brought up to testify.
Testimony has been received against the
reputation ofthe people of New Orleans,
which would not be attempted in any court
! Of Justice, as the witnesses would be proven
unworthy Of belief But no opportunity is
afforded for such proof before this commit
! tee, but instead of this the evidence Of the
| most worthless characters is received, as Of
exact weight with that of our best citizens
Before court of justice, it would take
great many such witnesses to efectuall
contradist, and overweight the testimony o.
men like Christian Roselius J. Ad. Rozier

The Legislature.

In our last issue we alluded to the adj
jourumcnt Of the Legislature, and the
amount of work which had been done by
that body. Upon examining the list of
acts passed, (nincty-seven in number,)
we are surprised to find so small a num-
Der ofthem o any general interest. Acts
Of Incorporation, or amending former
corporations preponderate in this list.
Local Legislation seems to have been the
chief occupation, while measures ofgreat
and general public interest have been ig-
nored or rejected. The propositions for
the relief Of the people were all defeated.
The Courts are now to have their rcgu-
lar course, and woe to unhappy debtors.
With heavy taxes to pay i'll addition to
their own liabilities, they are between
the upper and neither mill stones. y
The Governor recommended the aboli-
ton of Imprisonment for debt, an amend
mcnt Of the insolvcnt law, so as to dis
charge debtors from their debts, upon
making a full surrender Of their property
and effects, also a homestead law, all OF
winch were defeated by small majority
1t is very strange, that, while our coter,
minus States, North Carolina and Ga,
have both enacted laws, which are now
of force, for the relief Of the people, our
Legislature should do nothing on the
