The Sentinel editorially refers, 10 ambiguous
terms, 10 riot which took place in Richmond last
Thursday Of such magnitude TO The affair 10
be suppressed from publication. From the article,
it appears that the city was for while at the con-
troll of a lawless mob OF men and women, for the
oStensibe purpose of saving themselves from s,arsa
ton by breaking open stores, bakeries &c.
The movement was headed by female, who, The
Sentinel says, was above want and the whole affair
was simply 70 rob and plumber under the excuse Of
scarcity Of food. The millinery dry goods and fancy
stores suffered as much as those containing the nee
essaries of life. The movement proved to have
eventuated from high prices generally.
Tie Sentinel, in speaking of this riot, alludes to
the fact that all the papers had after consultation
concluded at the time not to mention the matter.
