ERIE Rrors AeA1N.-The people who
deal in gingerbread and peanuts at Erie are
determined not to be quiet. On Friday last
street fight occurred between one Of the
editors Of the Constitution newspaper and a
rioter. That night, the rioters assembled
and destroyed the printing-ofice, demoish-
ing the windows and doors, and scattering
the materials about the street. They then
attacked the houses of the Railroad men,
doing considerable damage 1t is time q
hundred or so Of the scamps were shot,
There is one consolation, however, we now
have other lines Of railways running east
and people are notcompelled to pass through
