81 New YEARS DGr.-The schools and places
of business were closed Monday, and the
day spent in fashionable call-making, Wis
ting, &c. Of course it passed off quietly,
as the police records show. Few, very few
arrests were. made. A man could get drunk
with impunity, And now that the Grand
Jury have been discharged, the liquor sell
lers could make their little profits without
having the fear of that body before their
eyes. S1,4Gt s1s

No HALL.-Cleveland is shamefully be-
hindhand in the possession of public halls.
We become painfully aware of the fact Of
u destitution in this regard, quite often.
Mad. Parepa, it was announced q few
weeks since, was to give a concert here this
season, but as no hall could be procured on
the recent occasion of a gap in her engage
ments, she goes by US, like the Levite and
others, on the other side.

MOTION Mountaineering Foote listened,
yesterday morning, to arguments to sustain a
motion filed forthe setting aside asettlement
effected between the parties by NJ. S. Cas-
tie, Esq, attorney for plaintiff in the case
of VIM. Trap v& Edward Sewer ct al, for
assault and battery. Our readers will re-
member that a colored man several
months since bought a full ticket at
the Academy of Music, and having taken
a seat in the dress circle, to which his
ticket entitled him, was ordered out on
the ground that he was colored, Heproved
that his ticket gave him that seat by right,
when he was told he must leave that seat
and go aloft, and a portion of his money, the
difference between the prices Of the tickets,
offered him. He would not bulge, when
defendant, a policeman, violently elected
him from the house, Suit was brought to
recover damages, and the case given into
the hands-of Mr.. Castle, who, claiming that
he was authorized To effect settlement, set
tied the difficulty, receiving $3.50 from The
~assaulting parties in payment Of damages.
The plaintiff claims that he did not author
ize Mr.. Castle to make a settlement, as he
desired to carry the case into court where
the question of a aeolored mans rights,
whether in the theatre or hotels, might be
discussed and settled.
The court overruled the motion to set
aside the. settlement. a.sE ar-ili-ia

THE RIOT NEAR BALTIMORE.


BALTIMORE, August 31.-As far AZ can no
ascertained, the following are the facts of this
outrageous affair."
A white camp meeting, attended by manV
ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church
of North Baltimore District of which Rev. Mr..
Lanahan is Presiding Elder, was being held at
the place before stated
Rev. Messrs Speak, Reid, and other white
ministers were officiating at the white camp,
near which, uEler the auspices of the same, the
colored people were holding camp exercise also
during yesterday afternoon a number of young,
men were noticed in the camp-ground having
pistols. These were, so far as can be ascer-
'aihed, residents OF the surrounding neigh
borhood.
NO disturbance occurred during the day but
about midnight, while the colored people were
conducting their religious exercises. they were
violently set upon by gang of men, using loud
shouts, threats, and imprecations. The attack
commenced by beating negro man while on
his knees.
The negroes at once rose up, and a scene OF
wild and indiscribaDle confusion ensued. the
women screaming in terror. Shots were fired
by the aSsailants, but in the dark; but few are
supposed TO have taken effect. The colored men
rallied and turned upon their assallants. and
drove them of two or three times, whilst tina
women fed towards the white camp. MANY of
the coiored people were wounded with clubs
and some flesh wounds from pistol shots.
Some of the colored men had pistols, and used
them freely upon their assailauts, but with what
results are not known.
Finally, through the presence OF the white
ministers and others, the conflict was ended by
the colorcd people leaving the ground and seek
ing their homes, leaving their camp to the
desperadoes, who further gratifed their I'M
manly spirit by piling the tents and effects of
the negroes, including bundles, trunks, and
| clothing in heap, and setting fire to the plIe.
Destroyed Il ALL
The white man shot, first mentioned. was nj
| prayer at the altar, in the white camp, where
the Rev. Mr.. Speak was conducting the eyer
Cises. BY whom the shot was fred is not know,
but the friends of some of the ministers believe
that it was fred by some of the white rioters
who intended it for a prominent Methodist
minister. How this may be, it is Impossible m
say. Others think it was simply a straw sbot
which is very probable.
Our informant says that the white men GER
tainly began the disturbance, as the coIored
people were at the time engaged in RELIGIONS
exercises. The assaiants are reported to have
used to various rallying cries among which vaa
heard the expression, "How about New Orleans ~
There are many exciting, and doubtless more
or less exaggerated stories circulating about the
affair, but the above as far as can at present he
ascertained, seems to be authentic
