The House then adjourned without yoting on the passage of the bit) After discussion yesetday The New Or s Riot. The majority and minority reports on the New Orleans riot, submitted to the House of Representatives yesterday, are both exceed- ingly voluminous. That of the majority is signed by Messrs. Eliot and Shellabarger. it reviews in detail the history of the first con. vention, and publishes the proclamation of R. K. Howell, who, as presiding officer, calied the second conyention together, and say that in cailing the convention to reassembie he was simply executing @ duty imposed apon him by the first convention. The testimony reia- tive to the riot of the first day is yery volami- nouns, over seventy-four witnesses paving been examined. The riot is claimed as not being the result of accident, but of a deliveratety planned scheme to prevent the meeting of the convention and its consequent action. The authorities of the State and of tke city of New Orleans are held responsible tor the riot. The mayor of New Orleans, it is charged, deter- mined thatthe cop vention shenid notassembie, and Lieut. Gov. Voorhees and Attorney Gen- eral Herron united in taat determination, and, in order that no impediment should be thrown in the way, Gen. Baird was purposely and deliberately deceived as to the time for the convening ef the convention. The committee reter to the speech made by President Johnson at St. Louis, in which the New Orleans riot Was charged as the result of the action of the radicals in Congress. But for the high official character of the person who made the speech, the committee say they would not have deemed the charge worthy of notice, but they insist that Congress and te action had nothing to do with the rise and progress of the riot, or with the assembling of the convertion.

THE RIDGE QUESTION AGAIN—THE MARKET HOUBE. An adjourned meeting of the Board of Trade was held Jast evening at their rooms; the president, John H. Semmes, Esq.,in the chair, and N. Sardo seeretary. Mr. John L. Kidwell offered, the following preambie and resolution: Whereas ata meeting of the Board of Trade of the District of Columbia, held at the Board of Trade fooms. on Saturday, Febraar 7, 1867, areseintion was adopted instructing the com. mitteeto represent the Board before Congress to urge upon Congress the consideration and adoption of the reportof A. lL.

Mr. H. B.

Mr. Kidwell said the Government now bad aclam against the Aqueduct of $300,000, mon- ey loaned for the construction ef the same which bad never been returned. Of course the leaseholders would be paid for their lease be- fore the bridge was erecied. Mr. Sweeny enid if the Board sanction the principle of taking this bridge belonging to pri- vate persons, bow #asy co it be turned upon the people of W: mm, and the Kall. Toad Company take away the Long Briage Mr. Mitcbell thought the bridge sabject had been discussed Saturday night, and the Hoard bad indorsed the pian of Mr. Rives, which provided for a bridge for loca: travel at the site of the present Long Bridge, and a rasiroad bridge on the Aquedact piers The committee of the board had been instructed to publish tbat report as adopted by the board, and hy adopting the resolution offered by Mr. Kid- well was only carrying out the repor! adopied Saturday night. At the nest of several gentlemen, Mr. Kidwell withdrew his resolution and offered the following, which was adopted Resolved, That the Board of Trade recom- mend to Congress that in any future structure they may erect across the river above George- town, there be & suitable draw, so as not wo interfere with the navigation of the river. I¥r. Bacon offered the following Resolved, That the committee appointed to attend to the interests of the board be, and are hereby, instructed to co rate with the Mayor te endeavor to obtain from Congress the Ee of a bill to epable the Corporation of ashington to build a market-house on the square at present oceupied by the Uentre Marxet. Mr. R. M. Hall offered the following as a substitute for Mr. Bacon's Whereas, it is now understood that Congress will, at an early day, require the removal of the present market between 7th and 91 and whereas it event a convenient and accessible point should be fixed upon for a faturemarket: Therefore, Resolved, That the committee appointed to confer with Congress on the sffaire of trict be instructed to inquire int and to report for con this Board relative te TO} removal of the market @s they may find most expedient and prop: ©. Mr. Hall said that the committee of the Board before Oongress had several in- stances been in the confidence of the Uongres- sional District Commitiees. The market-bouse subject had been mentioned by several mem- bers of the Senate committee. They bad brought the matter to notice, saying that some action would soon be taken, and intimating that Uon- gress was bostile to the present location ot the market, and it might probably be removed in jess than thirty days. Several members of the Senate committee had expressed a desire to bave the views of the Board of Trade on the subject. r. Bacon said the Mayor bad told him if the Board of Trade would are & commit- tee, a bill could be got through to rebuild the Market house on the site now occupied. Sev- eral members of the Senate Committee had approved of it. The property where the mar- kei house was now located bad been donated to the corporation for market purposes oniy, and tbe Board of Trade had a perfect right to go before Congress aud respectfally ask that the new market be on the same site as the old ene. Mr. Urme thought the proper place fer the market was on Lonisiana and Ohio avenues, between 9th and [2th streets. Twenty years ago the property west of the market could be purchased for 75 cents per foot, now it could not for $6. Mr. Bacon thought Mr. Orme bad no right to say anything, be was pot a member of the Board, because he had not paid bis dues after being calied upon. Mr. Wall said he had nothing to do with bringing the market house subject before the Senate committee. It was first meptioned by several members of the commitiee. Mr. Orme said he was under the impressien that his dues were paid; but he had paid them now. Mr. John H. Semmes said he was a proper- ty bolder about the market, but he did not care ter that; he wanted the market located where it would be most for the benefit of the public. The ground where the market now stood was given to the city for market purposes, and Congress bad nothing to do with it. He thought if a suitable building be erected there, there would be po objection to it. If Uongress said we should not bave it there then we should gs set some other place, r. James L. Barbeur thought the subject of removing the market-bouse was brought pa by those whe wanted it in apother lo- ity for their own benefit. All others were satisfied with the present locality. The pres- ent location was undoub' ihe best. All we wanted was a respectable building. Mr. Semmes said if the market-house was to be removed every man who had a piece of ground would want it near, as bis y woula become more valuable. It was like re- moving tbe seat of government, which would bave been removed long since, but ‘y mem- ber of Congress wanted it im his o Stace. if the present market was removed the property on which it was located would revert to the original beirs, as it was given for market pur- poses exclusively. Dr. J. E. Morgan thought that men who had bought property near the market, and expead- ed money there, should be pretected, and their interest taken care of. Mr. John R. Elvans thought if the commiut- tees would go before Congress with the ander- standing that & proper building should be put up, the great objection to the market wromid be. removed. The only objection Mr. E. bad to Mr. Bacen’s resolation was that he was op- d to lugging in the Mayor of Washington. he Board of Trade could accomplish more. The whole truth was that by persistent efforts on the part of the Mayor he was offensive to tbe Congressional committees. the Center Market a suitable building for market purposes, and such a one as will be an ornament to the city, and that tbe com mittee be further instructed to Iny before Congress a copy of the origina! grani of said sitefor market purposes, and all other facts connected therewith.
