Louisville Riots.

From Louisville papers Of tia 7th and sth in
stants, we take the following account of the lat
deporableriots-i in that city Here is the Jour
nars version of the transaction, which we hav
condensed IS much as possible, without impair
Ing the value of the narrative:
we deeply regret to have to record the scene,
" violence, oioodshed, and house burning which
occurred In our city yesterday. A terribl.
responsibility rests upon those who have incite
tne fereIgn population Of tine city to the deed,
OF VIOLENCE which were the commencement of IN.
rlots.ln the First and Eighth Wards. We are
eonhdent that these riots were not occasioned
oy anything that happened at any Of the seye
raj voting places. The election throughout ths
city, as far as We can learbs had passed of wiz
Unusual quiet, with the exception of a brutal
outrage u the First Yard, of which we shall
.peak presently land some fighting at the EIsbtt,
Ward polls, in which no one was much hurt
fhe rlots were occasionsd by indiscriminate te and
marderous assaults committed by foreigners.
'snieny Irish, upon inOffenslye ciuzens, peacea-
Ply attendlng 10 their own business at SONS,
distance from any Of the voting places
All the circumstances connected with fhssa
assaults strongly indicate thas they we're ire
nedIsated and instigated by otheu4 parties than
nose ey whom they were actually eeamitteai
All the facts will probably be ascersaaped iu,i,
ataily and then the responsibility will rest
't properly belongs Tne circumstances Il a.
sSalled to US, and the confessions Of SOME If rhe
hiseFable Nretches who were made the victims
of their insane folly and murderous violence
snow that these assaults upon unoffendipg anu
Innocent native born citizens we're preineditated
ana that the blame attaches to others who are
s.s yet unnamed =.
