composed of the best class OF residents here,
but principally Irishmen who consider
the negro as their competitor and natural
enemy. Many negro soldiers have from
time to time been arrested by the police,
and some of the police have been arrested
by the negroes, and in both cases those ar
rested have not unfrequently been hsrshly
treated. After giving the particulars of the
riot Gen. Stoneman concludes by saying :
The rioters were composed of the police,
fremen, and the rabble and negro haters in
general, with asprinkling Of Yankee haters
all led on and encouraged by demagogues
and Office hunters, and most Of them under
the influence of whisky. 1t appears in
the evidence before the Commission that
John Creighton, Recorder of the city, made
speech to the rioters in which he said :
awe are not prepared, but let US prepare
TO clean every negro s--of-a-b- out of
town." Very few paroled Confederates
were mixed up with the rioters on Tuesday
and Wednesday, the large proportion of the
rioters being registered voters. Who com
meneed the incendiarism on Wednesday
night remains to be developed.
