night to Saturday morning were confined to the
prevention Of disorder at the assembly Of the
radical mob In and around the Mechanics Insti-
tute.
While the mob gathered in the locality, there
was little disturbance, the negroes being quiet and
orderly, putting to shame the incendiary Efforts

with violent objurgations.
AS the mob broke up and formed into line OF
procession, several disturbances occurred.
