They say the loyal people aro not protected, and will in convention report a bill appointing a Go? vernor and Council under whom thc State can rc-organizo. Only loyalists, regardless of color, will be allowed to vole. WASHINGTON, February ll.-The report of Elliot ami Shellsber^er, who were- ap? pointed, on tho Kith of December, to ex? amine into the New Orleans riot, has been submit tod. The examination commenced in New Orleans on the 22d of December, closed there on the 3d of January, and was resumed leno on the 15th of January, closing in February. There wore 171) wit? nesses examined -forty-seven of whom wore examined at tho request of tho New Orlan ns authorities. Tho report says: "History shows mi ri ot so destitute (d' jus? tifiable cause, resulting in a massacre sc inhuman and fiend-like. The direct cause of the riot was the re-assembling of the convention, pursuant to tho call ny Hon R. H. Howell, acting President." Tho com? mittee gives tho history of the coaventiof and not. Some policemen acted to save not destroy lifo. Several members, includ ing Fisk, wero saved by being arrested Gov. Hahn was protected while passim from thc hall to prison, though horeceivei many blows from other policemen befon falling into tho hands that saved him Soma other instances of kindness by tin police aro given. Tho police and mob, ii Bloody emulation, continued butcherm; until nearly 200 wero killed and wounded Ton policemen wero wounded-nine se verely-and nine killed. If thc conventioi had been armed, or colored peoplo liai been called in advance, to protect the con vention, this would uot havy been the case The riot was not an accident, but was th determined purposo of the mayor to dis perse tho convention. Tho committee prc ceods to discuss tho question, quoting tole grams from the President to Lieutenant Governor Voorbees, which, they sa\ assured Voorbees of Presidential supper in tho proposed action. The President is censured for overlool ing tho Governor, whom ho knew to b loyal, in addressing the Lieutenant-GoTei nor and Attorney-General, who wei known not to bo in sympathy with th Governor, and giving directions which, carried out, as the Lieutenant-Goveruc and Attorney-General understood thou would havo placed tho military with tl: Mayor in arresting members of tho Cor veiUion. Tho President know tho coud tiou of affairs in July; he knew that rebel thugs and disloyal men controlled Mo: roe's election; he know such men chief composed tho poliee; he knew May< Monroe, an unpardoned rebel, was su pened by tho military, and that he hf subsequently pardoned him; ho must ha^ known Voorhee's and Herron's rebel ant cedents; ho knew riot and bloodshed wc apprehended, and ho knew that milita orders were in forco; yet, without tl knowledge of tho Secretary of War oi the Goneral commanding the arn y, ga orders, by telegraph, intended to comp soldiers to aid tho rebels against men wi wero loyal during tho war. Tho committee discusses at length tl right of Congress to legislate so as place Louisiana within tho control of loy men. Thc military must control until t people of Louisiana adopt a constituir assuring safety to thc public, and rcccivi; tho sanction of Congress. Tiiese resu follow a successful war. These resu would not have followed had it been an i surrection instead of a civil war.

In the discharge of tl duty, tho committee submit tho folio wi bill: Bo it enacted, that tho President noi natos, and tho Senate confirm, a Govert of Louisiana, who hold office for ono ye: unless sooner removed by tho Preside with tho consent of tho Senate, or uni sooner relieved by a successor eleel under the provisions of this Act.

A STRANGE STORY.-A deaf negro, tho Indianapolis Herald says, who had boen out rabbit hunting, was walking along the raih-oad track in the neighborhood of Camp Carring? ton a few days since, when the down ; train from Lafayette came along. The engineer whistled, but the sable bunter, being deaf, did not henr. Before tho engine could be stopped the negro was hoisted by the cow catcher and tumbled into a promis? cuous heap on one side of the track, a good deal bruised and confused, but not much hurt.

Wo havo been moved to this undertaking by the solicitations of brethren in various por? tions of thia State, as well as of other States, among tho readers of the late Confederate Baptist, and by our own con? viction that a paper of a high character would contribute largely to tho int? llcctual improvement, the religious progress and the general welfare of thc churches. The field is largo, affording ample room for all sincere and zealous laborers. The Baptist will be printed on a sheet about twenty-two by thirty-two inches, and will contain twenty-four broad columns, mostly in Long Primer type, clear and legible, so that it may be read with com? fort, even by the aged. Its entire mecha? nical execution will be of the highest order. Our columns will be enriched by corres? pondence and contributions from the other Southern States, and, occasionally, from Europo and our missionary stations abroad. The entertainment and instruc? tion of tho young-especially the child? ren-will not he forgotten; anti our vene hlo friend, "Uncle Fabian," so well and favorably known to the readers of the Confederate Baptist, will resume his labors in their behalf, in short, we possess all thc facilities requisite to produce a paper of the first rank. As such, we Ter it to our brethren, and solicit their generous co-operation. The Baptist will be issued as soon aa a sufficient number of subscribers have boen secured. TERMS-$3 a year, payable on thc recep? tion of the first number. All communications will bc addressed to 'The Baptist, Columbia, S. C." J. Ii. REYNOLDS, A. K. DURHAM, Jan 24 Editors and Proprietor!.
