[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DATLf HEWS.] THE NEW ORLEANS RIOT. WASHINGTON, January 14.-Notwithstanding that tlie Kew Orleans riot ha? boon a thorne and a theo? ry for an infinito degree of Radical loquacity, and what, with a multiplicity of military and civil reports that have been previously ovoked concern? ing that muddled affair, the country has, alight to think that investigation in that quarter, at least, is thoroughly "played out;" and so it-would bo, bad tho late investigation of tho Congressional trio" sent thither to attempt a nominal prolongation of | thiB inquiry been really do voted to that end-but it transpires that there was quite-a different matter j in view, not so much affecting tho destruction of Dr. Dostio and his riotous crow, as looking to a support of tho .very effort-the overthrow of tho prevailing government-te which tho latter came to retribution. ThiB week, perhaps to-morrow, 1 am informed, that the House Committee on Terri? tories intend reporting tho Bill providing for thc reduction of the present Southern States govern? mental organizations .to tho Statut of : territorial rulo. It wan in anticipation of this omergoncy that tho New Orleans Committee was hurried off in tho holiday rocoss to attempt tho pretense of ro-inves tigatine tho riot. A palpable ruse, to bo recogniz? ed by tho whole country so soon as thereport shall appear. -The Committee will go through tho farce of submitting tho ovidence taken by them in rela? tion to tho riot, but tho great volumo of their re? port is to decry the assumed perversity and malig? nity of Louisianians, said bemoan th? fate of tho so-called " Southern loyalists," with allegations that they arc persecuted and ostracized by all thc masses of Sout ern society implicated in tbo re? bellion. This, it is hardly necessary to say,-will be the entering wedge adopted by every Representa? tive retained to aubmiff an argument -in favor of | the territorial scheme, and it is now being sharp? ened and perfected with that special reference. - Several gentlemen of New Orleans are now in the city, who were called by the Comm .ttoe to ap poar os witnesses.. From them I gather that tho entire conduct of the pretended investigation was most domineorin? and offensive. The very first thine the Committee did was to. employ as a door? keeper and messenger,. a man named MoUiere, formerly of the Confederate service, more latterly a convict for forgery, and finally one of Gen. But? ler's detectives during tho immaculate administra? tion of that redoubtable officer in New Orleans. ' In , addition to this disagreeable action, tho Committee | affected a" brow-beating style of interrogatory whenever .tho deponent before thom did not happen to bo a negro or ono of their Southern loyalist pets. One fact, however, .was .deduced in reference to tho riot which forma a'fitting preface to tho history of , that affair, and comes now to light for tho first ! time. In examining a Federal army officer, who had served five years in the late war, and been sta? tioned a year or two in New Orleans, tho Commit- ' tee unexpectedly drew- ont the fact that he was } known to tho existence of a letter from two mem? bers of the Congressional Reconstruction Commit- I tee, addressed to Michael Hahn, Dostie, and others of that ilk, about a month before tho riot, in which the latter were enjoined by the writers that they must "go ahead and do the best they could Loui? siana was too remote from Congressional influence to come und .r tho immediate direction of the Re? construction Committee, but that, id any event, a convention -for the reformation of the State Gov? ernment of Louisiana must bo held as speedily as possible." As this bit of unexpected evidence was jj evoked; Messrs. - Shelhibarger and -Elliot, .of the I Coflimittee,. became very, nervous, the latter gen- ? ?eman. iii tho "excess of II?B zeal to suppress tho I unpalatable truth, more than once exclaiming to i the witness: *'Be careful, sir; we shall hold yon to 1 i strict account. You are talking of something ( voa know-nothing -about I" But th e m order would ont, and though thia part'of the evidence w?l no doubt bo ignored by the above zentlemcn in their re-: ort, ita publication is certain t tn the minority report to bo submitted by Mr. Boyer, 5 sf Pennsylvania, the lone Democrat on i he Commit- I tee, and, more than this, the letter from the Re- t construction Committee, referred too, will then be given in full, a copy having been unearthed from Borne mysterious source in New Orleans. It is of great length, and most incautiously committal rf t the general! line of plots and conspiracies which t had been raised to subvert the State governments pf tho South, and particularly relating to the man? agement of the coup enjoined to be attempted m Louisiana. Who shall say that investigating com? mittees are not efficacious, when it transpires that a trinity of corrupt judges evoke tho truth and ab? solve the innocent, when no justice was intended ? This last chanter in that -'-book of Tollies."' dedica? ted to the New Orleans riot and Congressional lotion thereon, cornea greeting most opportunely. Not even with the martyred and immaculate Dos? tie . and his comrades can the onus of the blood? shed of the New Orleans riot now bo reposed. Here comes the documentary evidence to show that fhey did but too faithfully tho bidding of their masters, the Washington Reconstruction committee, in the iniquitous work of calling the i revolutionary convention of the Slat of July last, i " Who'is- to blame ?'- is-aquery that the wholo coun? try now can answer.. . NEBRASKA. The Nebraska Bill ?B having a hard time of it in Congross. Attar being tossed forward and back in the Senater with- a_ multiplicity of amendments tacked on to the original measure, tho hill at last j emerged from that body, and was reported to tho Housu with no more Radical proviso. than an amendment to the bill of admis ion, simply pro? viding that Nebraska should not, at any futuro period, pass any law prescribing distinction,on uceoomkof race or colors -. In the -House-, this-tvffcfcr noon, the opposition to the bill, because thero'was no guarantee for impartial or_negro. sufirago de? manded of Nebraska, was of such violent descrip- 1 tion as to presage sure defeat. This is the second 1 winter that Colorado arid Neb? aska have been com- ? pelted to stand knocking in the cold, with .their 1 respective brader Bf" Senators in patient awaiting t upon tho clemency of Congress towards their plea i for admission. From present appearances, the rigors of yet another season is in store for them; but they may have the consolation of hoping for better luck with the.40th Congress, jj .. THE ASPECT OF THE CAPITAL. Washington is sensibly relieved of the sombre, dreary aspect with which it opened the season, , artd if nothing occurs lo upset tho equanimity of ( the beau monde, such aa the elopement of a Con- ^ grossman with a fellow-member's wife, or the mar? riage of some one-of the Washington helles to some titled attache i-f tho Diplomatic Corps, I think matters may glido.auspiciously on to some? thing like gaiety .'and genteel" jollification. The latter of the two apprehended disturbances hinted at abjjve', I' am sorry to say, is always'd?Bmed imminent by certain veteran dowagers who havo the dispensation of .several, bundies of the marriageable article, and who cannot enter the field fairly, but persist .in . getting-up the most in- ] Lorminabie feuds with those who rival tbeir claims. ] The consequence is, that if any one of the ''sweet 3 princes" of the foreign legations intimates, by a se? ries of delicate attentions to some fair one, that his . intentions are other than "strictly dishonorable," , id! the ? competitors in the race-take umbrage, and 1 ap goes the prospect of a dozen genial entertain- " tnents, because the mesdames in question are en crag od in a social war tbat precludes a meeting of | the antagonistic elements in the salons of "upper tendom. . On Thursday next, the President gives Iiis first general reception, and on the day prece? ding he dines the members of the diplomatic ?orps.. .Then comes a .aeries of inceptions, and par? ties, under the conduct of members of tho Cabinet, ind Senators who maintain establishments in tuo city. But as yet there is Jio really magnificent affair on the tapis, and the grand query ia aa to i who will take tho lead. The wives of Senators { Spraguo and Morgan, who used -to vie with each J other in the dispensation of princely hospitality, as : yet are silent spectators of events. - Perhaps they 1 are ruminating how best to stun the natives- with some now device of fashionable dissipation. Judg- j lng from-tho general serenity of Washingtonians, it will be a perplexing dodge to hit upon. . - _ 11 ffiW, ' Our New Tort Letter.' " [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] Nsw YOBS, January 1-4.-Victory has perched upon the canner of the Excise Law army;, it perched there oh last Saturday night, remained I there all day yesterday, and flapped its wings and j ] crowed lustily-a hird.of good omen looking down upon theaoher thousands that-were not so before on former Sabbath days. The pretty waiter-girl saloons were promptly closed on Saturday night ere twelve o'clock had struck; yesterday, with hnt few exceptions, the bar-rooms and lager beer gar? dens opened not, and people who bad never before done without their Sunday drinks, dispensed with thom, or took th.jm quietly at home. A roost curious sensation story has been going 1 the rounds here, the truth of which I will not en? dorse, hut I will present it to your readers as 11 and thousands of others have heard it told. "They say" that' a young lady, who had seen but I twelve summers and. had never seen Edwin Booth I perform, requested her parents to take her tc the Winter Garden. Her wish was complied with; she Saw the great tragedian, whose magnificent eyes turned her Utile head even more than his exquisite acting. Tho next dav, when the Utile eye-struck heroine wont to school, she missed all her lessons, and talked so much Booth to her companions, that she turned the heads of more than one-half the I school. On the day following she talked Booth more | than ever, which had the effect of turning the heads of tho balance of the school-girls, who forgot their geography, missed their "Tammar, ignored their arithmetic, despised their French, made mis? takes in their comportions; and paid no attention to their ratronomy, thinking of no star but' one, and that the bright particular star, Edwin Booth. The^achool-miatress remonstrated with the parents of the little revolutionist, and finally expelled her from tbs academy, which was fast growing to be , a lunatic asylum; meanwhile the little girl had fol? lowed Booth about the streets in hope? of finding out whore he resided It became necessary for her to be removed from the city; wherefore she I was taken over to Brooklyn - to spend a timo with her aunt,'but she began to pine away, arid implored her aunt to -take her once' more to tho Winter Garden, and the kind-bearted old lady complied with her request. She saw tho eyes once mora, and I was most wonderfully agitated at the contempla? tion thereof. That night when sho retired, her I aunt, who slept with ber, noted that abe repeated CHARLESTON, S. her prayers with moro than usual dovotedness; sho then foll into a swoot sloop.. In the middlo of tho night tho little girl awoke, raisod herself np in her bod. called to her aunt, pronouncod tho single.word "Booth,!* and then foll back upon- her snowy pillow most escoedingly and emphatically dead." There she lay, lier soft silken ringlets hid? ing her snowy bosom; thero ehe lay, her swoet eyes upturned to heaven, and her little rose-bud mouth so tixod that she seemed to threaten to re? mark "Booth" once more, and then die again. This is tho story that is told hero by hundreds, and be? lieved by many. You may "take it on its own moritsf?). It is said that there is nothing now under the sun. On Saturday night I certainly saw some? thing now under the moon, which shone down very prettily upon Oatman's Park, whoro tho mul? titude, both skaters and non-skaters, viewed with surprise', nbt uhhiixed~with'' admiration, the novel and ingenious contrivance known as Davega's Patent Skater's Support, invented by Isaac Dave ga, Esq., formerly of your city. It is certainly a most ingenious affair. It is shaped Iiko a hoop shirt, or rather Uko a mammoth, baby-walker on ice, and it is impossible for ono to fall when supported thereby-in fact your .correspondent, who is no skater, tested -the thing himself, and Ands it a perfect success.

Nsw BAZLBOAD . BBIDQB.-Mesara. Barnard & Waldron, of Windsor,. Vermont, have just com? pleted a new railroad bridge ocrosa Black-River, at this place, for the Northeastern Railroad Compa? ny. The work is of most excellent finish and du? rability. It is what ? called a timber . lattice bridge, locked together at every place where the bimbera intersect each other and fastened in their places by three-quarter. inch iron bolts, and Braced at the top and bottom, so that any swaying sidewise of the bridge is prevented. The advan? tages claimed by the contractors for thia.p'.an con? sist in the strain coming directly on the lock of the timber, ins;ead of on the two-inch wooden pins formerly .used in the construction of the old plank latti-e bridge; also in the strength of timber made by using iron bolts {which cost rio'more than wooden pins), by not cutting off so muctvof tho timber.- - The bridge is 158 feet in length, and the amount rf wrough t iron used is 9060 pounds; Of east Iron 350 pounds, and about -19 OOO feet of timber. The railroad ' company and the contractors deserve jreat credit for the manner in which they have ex ?cuted thia important work.-Ibid.

Franco and Prussia are watching ono anothor on tho Rhine, and Ko a lonj way from the Danube. .Austria,, .whose aims should bo eastward^'lias neither 'a""hpnie nor a foreign policy; she has neither' a"~sov ereign, nor . a statesman, nor a people. Should she he true to her destinies, she might, per? haps, still find in the Gorman elements within her empire, and in her alliance) with Prussia and Uni? ted Germany, the-means of making up in the East for her losses in the "Wost. As it is, howovor, Von Beust and tho Jf atc v ars are more likely to involve her in tho downfall- ui the Ottoman Empire than to enable-her to share its fragments. . Tho- mero at? tempt at an alliance with Franco would entail her ruin, for it would, as if by uiaiu forco, throw Prus? sia into the arms of Russia; win the Upper Danube for the former, and leave the lower at the mercy of the Czar, or of a Loagud of "Roumanian, Servian, and ; other.

Faithful. to our. convictions that tho -fall.of T^rlrfty i w. yorftflirij. and that it iq onuaily inodvieAr bio to hasten or to regard it, we should, for our own-part, ho most-willing to lot ovonts tako thoir own course; and although we havo as yet no great faith'either in Greeks or in Romans, br in any other of the races once subject to the Porto, wo could wish nothing better tuan that they alone should win what the Porte' must lese, and that they should so grow in strength, in wisdom and in union, as to bo able to hold thou; own against all comers. _ _ A BANQUET was given in ?ew Orleans last Satur? day night, to Hr, J.
