Bloody Riot.

At the late municipal election in Wash
ington, a general row took place between
the Know Nothings and anti Know Moth
ings. Some fifty Know Nothings came
from Baltimore; they and portion of the
Know Nothings at Washington city un-
dertook to prevent the naturalized foreign
ers from voting, at two wards. They fl
nally took possession and drove the voters
away.
Tke President was called on for com
pany of mariners to preserve the peace
Accordingly they were dispatched, but
before they had reached the scene of troub-
lie. the Know Nothings had taken posses
sion ola small Cannon; the mariners char
ged on them and took it, but during the
scrimmage from five to ten persons were
killed and from twenty to thirty wounded.
The greatest excitement prevailed, and
fresh outbreaks were looked for hourly,
until a day or two after the election; but
the latest news reports every thing quiet
These riots arc the legitimate result of an
intolerant spirit.

Bank Question.

Tho legality of the Bank of the State
of Indiana" is being pretty generally dis
cussed throughout the State. Some are
willing to give il a fair trial, others advocate
its unconditional repeal 1t is we'll known
that the Democratic party, as party, is
opposed to Banks" and has SO expressed
itself, time and again, yet this by no means
prove, that the Democrats are unit on
this subject. His Excelency Joseph A.
Wright. has espoused the cause Of the
people, and seems determined that the
rottanness Of the Bank shall be probed to
the bottom. 1t has been our opinion that
when the Ex- Governor vetoed the Bank
bill, end sent his objections 20 the House,
that he had done all that confding peo-
pie required Of him as Governor, on that
subject. We judged that he felt little
nettled at tho Legislature when it passed
the bill over his veto.
Several of our exchanges are keeping up
= continual war on tn. bank-doing every
thing in their power, that is honorable, to
make it unpopular at home and abroad.
1t Is we'll known we, as an individual
are opposed to banks, and have never adj
vocated the system. Yet We conclude that
Banks will continue to exist, as long asmon-
eywillbe needed in the ordinary business
transactions of life.
Some three or four democratic papers,
IL Indiana. are so straight on this question,
that they lean little over; this of course
is their privilege, and We do not fault them
for II; all we ask is that they will extend
the same courtesy to those who conclude
that nc good will result from a continual
paper war.
The owners of the larger portion Of the
stock are wealthy. and possess good bust
ness habits, and as the branches all have to
sink Or swim together, let us hope that
their business will be managcdwith caution
and prudence. We have abou. thousand
dollars standing out for Job work and sub
seription, which we would be glad to re.
ceive, even in bills Oh the "Bank Of the
State of Indiana if those owing us,
should be fearful of it dying on their hands
let them bring it along.

Ma. EDIToR:-I wish to say few words
to the public. ih regard TO a report that
has been put in circulation, to the effect
that we received more goods since the late
fire in your place, than we possessed before.
My loss was but Email, admit; but as it
was all possessed it amounted to a great
deal with me. Those acquainted with me
kno's all such reports are false; but for the
qualification of some, will give state
ment Of what we had before the fire. and
what we received since. We received
bedding for one bed, had four; one bed
stead, had four; one table, had one; one
one tub, had three; one small rocking
chair, one washboard, one Sci knives, had
two sets; this, think is all the furniture
we received. But clothing for the child
rem was well furnished, and my wife also
received some; myself none received in
money about seventeen dollars; in grocer
ies, three dollars and fifty cents; two bush
els potatoes; three bushels corn; this is, l
think, the whole amount we received.
Before the fire. we had all that was nec-
essary for family in ordinary circumstan-
ces.
Now Mr.. Editor, do you think we have
gained much dy the catastrophe?
| tender my thanks to the kind friends
in Plymouth, for their assistance in our
time of need; and hope they may be re-
warded of heaven.

From private letters received from Salt
Lake, Mr.. Thompson learned that the
schism in the Mormon Church has assum-
ed formidable character: The GLADDEN.
i es, or the Aposates from the Simon Pure
faith, as enunciated by Brigham and his
adherents, have of late wonderfully in
creased their numbers, and grown so re-
bellious that the Prophet is forced to envi-
ron himself with a trusty guard of the
faithful. The letters state that his house
is guarded night and cay, by his friends
and that, SO bitter are his enemies against
him, that he is afraid to appear in public
He has deserted the Tabernacle
The Mormons Of Carson Valley. on ac-
count of difficulties apprehended from their
Gentle neighbors, had been peremptorily
ordered TO Salt Lake, by the Prophet, but
thinking it easier to negotiate peace, than
to sacrifice their homes. they have shaken
hands with the Amelikites, and buried the
tomahawk.
Mr.. Thompson has crossed the Sieara
Nevada thirtyone times during the winter

Gov Walkers inaugural is received. 1t
is long, concilia;ory and persuasive in its
tone. He recognizes the Territorial enact
ments, and says that all constitutional laws
must DO executed. He urges all parties to
participate in the election. lie believes the
convention will submit the constitution to
the people, in which case he thinks Con-
gress will not rejectit. He earnestly i'm
presses the necessity OF removing the
slavery agitation from the halls of Con-
gress and the Presidential elections. He
says slavery will ultimately be determined
by the law Of climate 1t is this now op-
Grating for or against slavery in Kansas. In
case slavery does not exist in Kansas, she
has constitutional duties to perform to her
sister States. especially Missouri. He
trusts the constitution will contain clauses
forever securing to the State all constitu-
tional guarantees by Federal and State au-
thority, and the supremacy within her own
limits of the authority of the Supreme
Court Of the United States. He says. il
this question shall be decided peacefully,
he sees for Kansas a career of power, pro-
gress and prosperity, unsurpassed in the
history of the world. If not so decided
fraud, violence and injustice will reign, and
history record the fact that Kansas was the
grave of the American Union.
