NEW YORK RIor.-A most disrraceful riot
occurred on Tuesday in New York city, grow
ing out OF the rebellion of Mayor Wood and
ms followers against the authority of the State

suddenly. The Governor appointed his sue

himself surrendered TO the Coroner. in the
riot several members Of the Metropolitan Po-
lice were desperately wounded.
THE WASHINGTON RIOr.-The Stanton Spec
tator, in an able and considerate article on this
subject has the following paragraph which IS
worthy of thought and attention
&C Ono fact connected with the Washington |
riot is full of alarm for the iutnre--a majority |
of the mob is said to have been boys under
eighteen years Of age. The mob which hung !
the negroes in Louisville few weeks ago was |
partially composed of the same material, and |
whenever riot occurs we have the same 70. |
ports. And these are to be the men who in n |
short time will have control Of the country - |
where are the fathers, and mothers ST the !
land that their children thus run wild 2 Pa |
rental authority must be called into exercise |
or there will be little hope for the Repub-
lie, and less for the miserable youths them
selves"

grafton are betrayed by public subscription

not only better their own condition but will ac-
cording to the usual generous practice OF emi-

MARRYING MEN WANTED.-The Belyille
Tribune is bidding up for an invoice of marri-
ageable bachelors. 1t says that the ranks of
single young men have been so greatly thinned
by marriage and removals that there is now a
great inequality in the sexes, and he calls on
MS brethren of the press to give publicity to
the facts. By way Of an inducement he saws:
We have an excellent article OF girls here,
tho most of them pretty, some of them rich
and all OF them charming, of course. We do
not think they are of the right sort for old
maids, and though we have no statistics by us
80 justify the assertion, we are of opinion that
coaxing might induce them to have compassion
on good looking, intelligent and moral young
men in search Of consorts.
