More Riots in Philadelphia.-It seems set
tied matter that our city is to be vexed and dis
turbed by continual turmoils between the white
and colored population. Last night mob as
sembed at the door of one BATHS, colored
ba rber in Fourth near Shipper street, and total
| ly demolished his property,-breaking in his
| windows, and scattering his perfumery and bar
berous articles hther and thither. II seems that
an alteration had arisen between BATHS and
some white person in his shop, which was end
ed by BIS striking him on the head with some
heavy implement, and with such force as to
fracture his skull. The victim was taken TO the
hospital on a settce, and there was very little
prospect of his recovery. The mob did not find
BATHS, and the fury OF their disappointment was
directed to his personal effects. One of his
wives was seen running through Shipper street.
at the top of her speed, crying for help. BATHS
it is sad has three wives; one of them, it is no.
torous, is white woman.
The mob in question, after completely demo-
fishing the premises as far as possible proceeded
in strong, bowling body, to Crab street, where
it was their intention to level to the ground eve
ny house inhabited by coored person. Fortu-
nately, they did not seem to be acquainted with
their location; and as the residents in the street
had taken the precaution to put in the windows
the signal of lighted lamp or candle, signify
ing that they were white persons, they were left
unmolested.
IL
do, for prey, singing occasionally the watch
words of "Rum-men" and "Big Gun"
1t is useless to comment on these disgraceful
proceedings. The city must be protected, and
if necessary, additional reinforcements Of po-
lice should be had in requistion. We observ.
ed some of the military in the street last even
ing, but they seemed in detached groups, and
uncertain whittier to direct their steps. So sub
tie and sly are these rioters, that band Of them
fies like an ignis fatuus over a pool, from one
place to another through the city reveng the
loudest where there is the most corruption.
Com. MteHigencer
Riot in Bloomfeld.-We are informed says
the Newark Daily Advertiser, that number Of
men, disguised in various ways, entered beer
house In that town, on Saturday night last, and
destroyed the intoxicating drinks which were
kept there. part of them took the occupant
into field stripped and otherwise abused him.
We understand the pretence was, that he kept
a disorderly house, and sold liquor contrary to
law. But, if this is true it is no Justification
One violation of law cannot justify another
And no doubt it is the cOuntenance which trans
actions like this have received, which has
emboldened the authors of other riots to go
to such fearful lengths as they have.

Postscript.

Since our paper was ready for the press, We
have received Paris paper Of the 18th July.
1t contains positive intelligence of the entrance
of Don Carlos into Spain-and Proclamation
in his name to the nation. It appears also that
a Cortez has been formed by his partisans, at
the head of which he has taken his seat. In
his proclamation he declares that he will not
again quit the soil of Spain. He brings his peo-
pie true liberty" and if he falls his eldest son
is to take his place, &c.
But we know not what 10 believe. After read
ing the official documents announcing the fore
going facts, we find the following commentary
from the Indicateur:-
Our letters from Bayone represent the de-
parture of Don Carlos from England, and his
arrival in Spain, among the bands of Zumala-
carreguy, as probable. A comparison of dates,
proves the mpossibility ofthe fact Don Carlos,
according to the English papers, was at London
on the 7th. Now, without miracle. how could
he be at Bayone on the 9th, after having had to
traverse the space that separates London from
Dover, the Channel, and lastly, all France, from
Calais to Bayonne2 The Pretender's want of
courage moreover, would suffice to render this
news mprobabe.-Would he who burst not
quit Elvas, when the instruction was powerful,
and threatened all the provinces of Isabella,
venture to come and take part in the last COM
bats fought in despair of her cause, upon sin
gle portion of the territory, and when he would
not have as in Portugal an honorable retreat
to hope for2-N y. Com.

ALEXANDRIA,:
MONDAY MORNING, AUG. rs, 1884.

EpucAr,oN IN THE SourH.-The same able and
interesting writer in the Fredericksburg Arena
to whom we have referred as giving some well
written views of the present condition oil the
New England States, in his last number: speaks
of the institution Of Lectures, the formation Of
Lyceums and social Libraries, and similar es-
Establishments as among the chief glories Of the
States through which he has travelled and OF
which he is giving an account. He remarks
that these lectures are delivered by public sp-
rited men-professional and unprofessonal-
sometimes, by farmers and mechanics They are
gratuitous; and in style plain enough to be un.
derstood by all classes Of society, who flock to
hear them. For these occasions. the first abil.
ties of the country have now and then been put
in reouistion Story, Everett, and Webster
alike with the village teacher and mechanic,
have contributed their quota OF Mind, towards
the holy cause of Popular instruction.
Chow magnanmous the spirit" he remarks,
which could prompt that 'hardest lesson that
humility can teach-a voluntary descent from
the dignity of SCIENCE to explain the simple
rudiments Of knowledge to unlettered minds
the spirit, which could make genius and power
drudge in the lowliest walks oflearning to open
and smooth them for the ingress Of intellectual
babes and sucklings!
The writer then asks When will the great
of Virginia deign this magnanimous DESCENT
When will our Leigh, our Tazewell, our Bar.
bour. our Rives, our Johnson, our Stanard, our
Robinson-a generous Spirit from whose devo-
ton to democracy something might be expect
ed towards fitting his countrymen for self gov
ernment-When will they, and the host OF talents
besides that Virginia possesses, be found striv
ing in this noble race of usefulness with Brough
am, Mcintosh, Webster, and Everett2"
Yes! we may repeat, When Will the time
come? Not until the ears of our Southern pub.
lie men are "opened to something besides tie
miserable wranglings Of party about the more
miserable pretensions Of opposing candidates
But does not the fact furnished by this writer
offer an example and an incentive to exertiOn on
the part Of the leading men of Virginia! VIII
it not excite them to action, and induce them IL
direct the energies of their miEds to the moral
and intellectual improvement oftheir State? Or
will it all continue to be no avail-precept and
example-and will they, people and leaders,
persist in I" Il slumber as profound on this sub
ject, as if they had no Literary Fund, no Prima'
~ Schools, no youth to educate, no country to
save from the certain fate Unpopular ignorance.
Would that our humble efforts could contri
butte aught to aid the cause of Education in the
South, and especially in Virginia. Gladly
would We devote much Of our time to an object
so worthy of exertion, and so deserving Of
praise! We have more to say on this subject
hereafter.

Health of the Cisy-We we're pleased to hear
distinguished physician OF this city say yeste!-
day, that Baltimore never was healthier at tnis
season of the year than at present; and we SIM
cerely hope that our citizens will use those pre-
cautionary measures necessary to continue this
great blessing. The mornings and evenings
are beginning to be cool, and corresponding
changes of apparel should be made: 1t would
be criminal in US to disregard the Divine Mer-
CIV which has so far exempted us from unusual
disease. whilst other sections of the country are
suffering under severe affection. Temperate
habits. cleanliness in person and premises, reSu
lar rest. prudence in diet, and the adaptatioh oi
clothing to the weather, may enable us 10 es
cane entirely from any visitation from the emo.
lera; and security so easily obtained should not
be neglected.-BaH Chron.
Transportation of Specie.-The specie, a no
tce of which we copied into our last from liie
Pittsburgh Advocate, arrived here yesterday In
a keel-boat from Pittsburgh, and was shppeu
on board the Fairy Queen, for Cincinnati. Ihe
money was in charge of Capt. Mallory, OF the
Army, and four soldiers as guard. Inc irelght
of the specie, l-2 tons, and the passage OF
those having the custody oft, from this TO Cln-
cinnati will be at least $75,-and the expense
OF transportation from Philadelphia to this place
was probably about three times as much
What it will to get it from Cincinnati to Its place
of destination in Indiana we cannot tell-Dut
suppose the whole expense Of transportation
from Philadelphia will not fall short OF $oOO.-
But for the Experiment the whole OF TINS OPP
GRAFTON of the transfer of funds would nave
been performed by the U. S. Bank, without the
parade of specie with guards through the coun-
try or any cost to the Government.

ed the question what was the majority OF inc
votes Of the people for Jackson in 1892! Also
whether Van Buren, had majority tor vice
President? The latter question We have answer
cd repeatedly in the negative, but to the former
We have been unable to reply, owing to the re-
turns from many states being incomplete. we
are at length enabled to present the following
statement, which is in the main correct 1t gives
the majority only in Missouri viz: 5l59 for Jack
son; and the rotes by the people in all the other
States except Alabama and South Carolina, (the
former of which voted for Jackson and Van
Buren,, and the latter for Floyd and Lee,) will
be found below twill be seen that Mr. Van Bu-
rem was in the minority at the last election, as he
was in this state when he ran for Governor IN
1925 General Jackson, it will also be observed,
obtained less majority by the people in 1882

Government so far as they can do so with
good conscience. A suitable admonition is al
so given to the youth Of their congregations,
and especially those who are engaged as com
mercial travellers, ,cautioning them against

powerful appeal to the Friends to extend their
