Particular. Of tn. Riot in Washington CITY.

lat inst the polls were attacked by band OF rowdes
from Baltimore, and that in the collision which en-
sued between them and force Of o. s. marines
called out by order of the President, several persons
were slain. The Washington papers unanimously st
tribute the origin Of the disturbances to this cause
The Integencer states that in the onslaught of the
Plug Uglies upon the rioters in the Fourth Ward,
serious wounds were delivered, ss well upon native
az naturalzed citizens" The Star estimates the in
vading force at forty or fifty, but the Baltimore
papers Of the following day express aoobts Of any or
ganized invasion having taken place. or Of any con-
siderable number Of persons from That city having
participated in the riots. The Patriot says.
Rumor ascribes the atray to the presence Of bands
Of men hailing from our midst, and bearing those
characteristic names which have become byword
and reproach Whether these men were entitled to
vote in Washington, or whether they we've sent down
there for the especial purpose Of boodiy interfering
with the election, we are not able to determine All
that really know at present is that innocent blood
has been she'd and that found necessary to call
ont the troops OF the United States befors the riot
was quelled.
So far as we can learn, the principal victims are
those who took no part whatever in the disturbance
and although the marines ordered out by the Govern
ment promptly did their duty, among the number
who fell beneath their fire there has only YET been
published the name Of single Batimorean. II this
proves anything, it may be said to convey the impress
sion that the riot Of local origin and the rioters
citizens of Washington Subsequent information ray
not, however, confirm this view. Still it appears
strange to u.s. if rowdies from Baltimore were she
rngleaders Of the Washington maIcontents and ex-
bibited themselves force that of them should
have been shot down by the Government troops when
they opened so deadly fire upon the insurgents.
In the The States OF the I'd, evening paper, we
find the full particulars of the disturbances briefly
and clearly stated: aa-rs a8a45..,
It appears that the marine force ordered out COM
| prised two companies Of Ito men in all, commanded
| by Major Tyler and Captain Maddox The letter of
the Mayor we yesterday published, was promptly sub
mtted by the President to the Secretary OF the Navy
| who at once made reguisition on General Hender-
son for these men, to be placed subject to the order
Of the Mayor. This requisition was obeyed with
great alacrity by the venerable but gallant General
who himself in citizens Dress accompanied the de-
tachment from the marine barracks, near the navy
yard, to the City Hall, and thence to the scene of
strie-the voting place of the Fourth Ward first
s. Marshal Hoover, ExManhal WaIlach, Policeman
Captain Baggott and other pohcemen, and members
of the Auxiliary Guard were also present. The
brass swivel was at this moment on the sidewalk, IN
front of shed which forms the Southern continue
ton of the Northern Liberties market on 7th street.
and took the voting place in its range in South.
eastern direction. The crowd was then estimated at
from twelve to- fourteen hundred persons, who
eyinced the most tumutuous and violent feelings,
The Mayor commanded the polls to be re-opened,
which was responded to by the mob with violent i'm.
precautions, and decamaons that the Pos should not
be opened He then ascended to little eminence
j and exhorted the crowd to order, and admonished
them OF the consequences OF disregard OF bis coun-
sells; stating that the marines were not brought 70
attack but to protect peaceful citizens in the exercise
of their right as SUCH Derson, insults and menaees
were the only responses to this appeal and violent
excitement was evinced in the vicinity Of the swivel
which the Mayor desired should be obtained On the
approach of party of the marines the persons having
the swivel in charge retreaed from it, but assaled
the marines with stones, brickbats and reVovers se
