SERIOUS RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA,

On Tuesday night, the rowdies of Moya-
mensing, taxing advantage Of the absence of
the police at the election polls, made an
attack on the California House, tavern
kept by colored man, in St. Mary's street
This street is principally inhabited by blacks
Of the lowest and most degraded class. The
House was defended by the blacks, many of
whom were armed, and several sallies were
made, but the assailants finally gained an
entrance and fired the building. The alarm
was given and several companies OF fremen
came upon the ground with their apparatus,
but were stoned and fired upon by the RIO
ters and forced to retire. The fire spread
to several adjoining buildings. In the
mean time the police assembled, but were
driven back by volleys of freams and stones.
The Hope Engine was taken by the mob,
and partly destroyed. A fireman, named
Himmelwright was shot through the heart .
and number of others seriously wounded.
At . O'Clock the State House bell struck s
taps, the signal for the Military to be called
out, which frightened the mob, and they
gradually dispersed.
SECOND RIoT.-At 6 O'Clock on the fol.
lowing morning the State House bell an
nounced another riot The Morris Hose
Company, who were in service, were at
tackled with brick bats and firearms and
several persons wounded. The military,
who had been out during the night, again
assembled at the State House yard, marched
to the scene of action, and were assigned
positions commanding every avenue of ap-
proach.
George Hosey, negro, one of the leaders,
has been arrested. Two persons are known
TO have been killed, and fifteen wounded have
been brought to the Hospital, three OF whom
will not survive the day.
These continual outbreaks in the districts
adjoining the city, are disgraceful and reflect
anything but credit upon the authorities.

Q he Glettio on.

We have given all the election news up
to the time of going to press. The demo-
cracy have come out of the contest victo-
rious. John A. Gamble has received
larger majority than was expected. His
opponents tour through the State, did not
effect much. We have also gained enough
members of the Legislature to have ma
jority on joint ballot, which insures to us
the election ofa democratic State Treasurer.
Of the Senators whose terms expire this
year, seven are wings and four democrats.
The democrats have, as far as heard from.
gained three, which gives them majority
in the Senate. Philadelphia county has
been redeemed. The democrats have elec-
ted Senator and gained eight members of
the Assembly. They have also elected
their Mayor, Hon. Joel Jones, by small
majority. The candidate for Sheriff, VIM.
Deal, has been elected over Rothermal, by
92O votes, which post has not been filled
by democrat before for some 90 years.

liberal spirit. This sentiment, too we are |
grati6ed to believe, prevails with the hon.
est masses, whose only aim is the public
good. In country SO extensive as ours,
with SO many conflicting interests, It is
hardly possible to devise a system that will
be satisfactory to all the States ofthis Union.
1t is not to be expected, therefore, that
there will be harmonious action on this
question in either Of the great parties which
divide the country. How impolitic, then,
is it to drag it into the political arena ?
Pennsylvania has always cherished the
doctrine of protection. Ever since the
formation of our government, this has been
her policy. Her people have remained
firm and unyelding; but we are sorry we
cannot say as much for the press. The
timorous and servile, who neither "see with
their own eyes, nor speak with their own
tongues" Immediately after the passage of
the act f'46, became its warmest friends,
and extolled that which they had but a
short time before deprecated. This class
of sycophantic editors now wish to pin
down the democracy of this state to law
which they had not the independence to
oppose. However much we may incur
their displeasure, we will continue stead
fast in the advocacy of such measures as
we believe to be intimately connected with
the well being of the State.
1t is gratifying to know that our course
is endorsed by such distinguished indivi-
duals as Cameron and Shaler. The people
of the State owe them much for the interest
they manifest IN its welfare. 1t is to men
