eating Committee.
WASHINGTON, February 11.-Mr BoxERs minori-
ty report on the New Orleans riot supports by evi-
depce and arguments. the versions Of tho riot
which were published at the time, and repeated
since by the press of New Orleans and the South,
concluding that the riot was local. originating in
local circumstances, and showing no hostility on
the part of the community toward the Federal Gov
ernment. 1t was monstrous to hold d whole peo-
PIE responsible for riot, provoked by incendiary
speeches. The same course would have led to q
not IN any city. The Union Conventionists, in in
citing the negroes, counted first on military and
then on Con 3ressicnal support. He denounces
Judge HOWELL as he1ding the conspiracy and then
abandoning his feIoW-consprators.

MI STEVENS, who, it is said, had a athree-column
speech on bis Bill in type, resisted the previous
question on the New Orleans Riot Committee Bill,
but Intellectually. He was not anxious to have his
Bill discussed, but was evidently mystifed by the
rapid proceedings after every fIlibustering notion
and wanted to know, before the vote, where the
proposed action would place his Bill. His repeat
the friends Of his Bill, that the House will get in
the habit of laughing at him, which would destroy
the effect Of the closing speech, to which Mr. Ell
IIoT was entitled as Chairman Of the Committee
The motion to adjourn prevailed pending the vote
on the main question, which was forced by Con
gresham demanding the reading Of the Bill,

to be much dissatisfaction.

hons to adjourn, on which the ayes and noes were
ordered when the House refused to adjourn BY

question by vote of IS to SO, when Mr. ELLIOT
moved an adjournment which was carried.
