Riot AT WASHINGTON CTY.-A most

Washington City, June lst,-the day Of
the municipal election in that city and
the worst feature connected with it, is that
the mob was composed mainly Of sweet

turbances occurred at several of the voting
places. The rioters obtained a swivel, and
repaired to the north ward, whittier the
Mayor directed the marines. The rioters
were ordered to disperse. which they inso-
lently and tauntingly refused to do. The
swivel was then taken from them, the riot
ers fred several shots at the marines, but
not doing any damage, the marines were
ordered to fire; at the first discharge, some
six persons were killed, and many more
wounded-mauY of them innocent. The
artillery from Fort McHenry was on
the ground. In the evening the riot was
suppressed. The democrats elected their
collector, register, and a majority of the
City Council. The nigger-republican
ticket, it is said, received but three votes

I5@ We find the following story in the
Brownsville (Texas) Flag. The transao-
tion is said to have occurred about month
ago: .....
1t seems that young lady of Matamoras
was taken sick, and an old lady in the neigh
borhood, reported to have some skill in the
virtue Of herbs, was solicited to visit and
administer to the patient. From some cause
the old lady failed to attend, and suspicious
reports were circulated that the old.lady had
bewitched the young one. The authorities
were petitioned TO compel the attendance of
the old one. Officers were sent to take her
before the supposed victim, and these mis-
erably ignorant wretches reported that they,
on several occasions, repaired to her domi-
Gil and could not find her at home, but found
instead a suspicious looking black cat. Af-
ter several efforts, however, they found the
old woman at home instead of her cat, and
she was taken TO the presence Of the invalid.
But her herbs failing TO restore the sick
to health, and the meddlesome black cat
persisting in following its owner, and being
by the neighbors found in the room of the
invalid instead of her mistress, fixed the
opinion fast in the minds of these ignorant
people that the old woman and black cat
were one and the same person; that she
being a WITCH could take the form of the
cat and assume her own shape at will--that
the invalid was victim 10 her dabolical
art. With these convictions, it is said, they
sought out the unfortunate old creature, and
actually tied her up, and with thongs cruelty
iogged her to death as witch. -'
In justice to the authorities ofsMatamoras
we are happy to state that they were not &
party TO the tragic part of this singula,
transaction, and that they were prompt ii
arresting the actors.

A. An habitual distrust Of our fellow
beings is source Of mulch evil in the world.
When one loses faith in humanity it is sad
misfortune, not only for himself, but for
those around him. Instead Of hearty con-
fidence In others, he is constantly suspect
ing some wrong to be in course of prepsra-
tion. The heated imagination sees mischief
in every smile, hears conspiracy in every
whisper; reads fell purpose in evety look.
One thus unfortunately situated is truly an
object Of pity. From him the enjoyments
OF society are cut off. Friendship ceases
to throw around his heart its gentle ties; and
he feels like one 0alone and deserted" in
the world. He fears to trust others, and
thus is cut off from the cheering sympathy
Of kindred hearts. In sadness he treads
the lonely path of solitary misanthropy, un-
blest and undressing, without one ray of
cheering comfort to gladdenhis spirit. Such
state of feeling should be seduously guard
against by all, as it is most destructive of
personal comfort, and constant annoyance
to those with whom the unfortunates are
called to associate. A trusting, hopeful
spirit Is d source of constant Happiness 5, and
should always be cultivated with care.
