The Ninth NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Ninth Massachusetts.-The
military commission sent TO Rich.
mond, Va. to investigate the alleged
misconduct OF the Ninth Massachu-
sets. while en- route for Yorktown.
on Saturday declined to give the a.
gent OF the Associated Press any i'm.
formation relative to the proceedings,
inasmuch as they were ordered to
make their report to the adiutant.
general OF Massachusetts. Mayor Car
rineton, of Richmond, who has been
daily in attendance, also declined TO
have anything to say, Mt this time,
though he will at the proper time
make full report II seems. howe.
yer, to be conceded that the gist of
the testimony is that the number of
the soldiers of the regiment engaged
in the alleged misconduct was from
so to rs; that outrageous advance
ments were made towards ladies i'm
the public streets; that many of the
soldiers paraded one of the main
thoroughfares in broad daylight with
colored women of the lowest charac-
tiers on their arms, embracing and
kissing them; that they took possess
ION OF vehicles, putting the drivers
oft that they invaded bar-rooms and
helped themselves, refusing TO pay
for their drinks, and that they com.
mitted many other acts of wantoness.
The officers composing tile commiss-
ion have shown every disposition to
make their investigation as full and as
searching az possible, and their report
will doubtless prove that they have
faithfully discharged their unpleasant
duty.
