NEGRO RIOT IN CHARLEsToN-The Char
lesion Neacs of the 25th, gives an account of
negro riot which occurred in Charleston last
Sunday evening, and which, but for the
prompt action of the police and the Federal
troops, would, doubtless, have had serious
consequences. It seems that about six o'clock
P. M. Sunday evening, there being an i'm
mense crowd of whites and negroes on the
Battery, disturbance arose from some IN
known cause which resulted in general
fight, in which bricks and other misses were
used. The police at once interposed and
secured three negoes, who were evidently
the ringleads, but released them at instance
of Lieutenant Hendricks, officer of the day
who relied on moral suasion with the ne,
groes.y The negroes encouraged by getting
off SO lightly collected in great numbers, and I
under the leadership of eightor ten negro
soldiers, paraded in ariotous procession, and
for time took possession of the first. and sec
ond wards Of the city. This DEMONSTRATION
created great alarm among the quiet citizens;
but the military being called on by the POI
lice responded promptly and at the approach
of the united forces the negroes dispersed.

the limits OF the United States, equal
rights 6 to make and enforce contracts,
to sue, and be sued, bo parties and

ject to like punishment, pains and pen

This bill is in tho nature ofa pro.

1t is TO operate only where State fails
to protect the rights of any of its in

The Fenian Ides.

St. Patricks Day passed off without
any unwonted tumult. The Fenian
leaders retrained from stamping their
feet on the frontier, and consequently
no swarming hosts of Irish appeared
with pontoons and three days rations
of "potheen," to dismantle the British
Empire by nibbling at the edges of
Canada. To be sure, great Irish de-
monstration occurred at Montreal, fill
ing several squares densely, but it was
decidedly anti Fenian, was addressed
by the Lieutenant Governor, and
cheered most frantically when he was
most loyal to the Queen and least con-
sderate toward the brotherhood
Throughout the United States the cele-
bration was general, but the Fenian
element was much less conspicuous
and imposing than was anticipated
We are authorized to state, however,
that the rumor that ROBERTS and
.0'MAHoNY are about to issue orders
refusing further pecuniary contribu-
tions, is without foundation.
The demonstration in this city was a
failure. The Fenirn phalanx proper
was one hundred and eighty strong,
and not distinguished by great elias
ticity of appearance. With poetic
license they carried guns, but had no
baggage trains. 1t may be proper to
state that the last budget ofthe Fenian
Secretary OF War sets down Cincin-
natl at good for five thousand Fe
mans for active service. AS but 18C

some unnamed Thursday in May, A
resolution was adopted, instructing the
Military Committee to report bill TO

and sailors. After some discussion
the vote whereby the loan bill was
lost on Friday, was reeonsidered by
vote of 81 TO 67, and the House went

subject, and made some amendments

Canada dispatches give the follow
ing intelligence. The Government
has been notified that the American
Government is sending troops to Buff
falo to prevent an attack from that
quarter. The that Sec
retary Seward promises the British
Minister to permit no violation ofneu-
trality by the Fenians causes much re-
joicing, and the report that the United
States Government is sending troops

be evidence of her intention to prevent

Affairs In Utah--Warfare against
the Saints.

The Yedette, published at Salt Lake
City, is waging an unceasing warfare
against the Mormons. 1t seems conf
dent Of success, 1t says:
There has been q time, extending
through "a period OF eighteen years,
during which the will of one man was
we'll nigh supreme in Utrh. That time
is past, never toreturn. The reign of
the Autocrat of Polygomy is over. The
star Of his destiny is declining, and as
its disc sinks below the horizon, the
dawn of better era is seen breaking
in the cast-a dawn which will usher
in brighter future for Deseret than
anything of which her earlier career
gave promise. The struggle for gu
premacy is not yet over, indeed, but
the course of coming events, now fore
shadowed with sufficient distinctness,
is clearly defined, for us to calcu-
late the event with tolcrable Ger
tainty.
In the same number it notices an
institution-the Sacred Guard-the
existence of which is probably not
known to most of our readers. We
quote:
The citizens who are carly risers
may almost any morning see persons
in the form Of men-but with few Of
manhood's proud attributes and lofty
sentiments, or they could not bring
themselves to submit to The desecra-
tion-slSulking home, from the menial
and degrading service of guarding the
harem of the chief degrader of woman
in Utah, while the grand Bashaw
slumbers in that unhallowed place
where crushed hearts are imprisoned
and woman's fond aspirations arc
blighted. ...
In another column it gives the fol
lowing instance as a proof that, though
Mormonism fills the nursery, it does
not proportionally increase the re-
sources Of tho pocket;
| A Mormon at Coalville, Summit
county, forty miles from here, had TIVE
"babies' born to him the other night
by two of his wives, with just forty
minutes difference between the infants
ages But what's the worst about tn
barbarous thing is that one of thos'
wives is the others molher-not al
uncommon case in Utah The chap
py husband" has been here with tn
Saints full sixteen years, working
"like hired man. and yet has onl

it) and a garden patch as the result

The vote by which this bill was lost
on Friday was reconsidered yesterday
by the House, and the bill was recon-
mitted without instructions, to the
Ways and Means Committee. 1t will
undoubtedly be,materially modified by
the Committee, Congress has shown
an unwillingness to confer the unlimit-
ed power upon the Secretary Of the
Treasury that was proposed, and to
this decision it will be necessary to

The Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Tribune says Mr.. Stewart,
OF Nevada, startled the Senate to-day
by the introduction of resolution de-
manding universal suffrage in return
for universal amnesty. Mr.. Sumner
rose and welcomed the new convert
with open arms. The well-known re-
lation OF the Nevada Senator to the
President gives especial significance to
his proposition, and it is looked upon
as a good omen among those most so
lcitous Tor the reconstruction of the
Union.
