- Some allusion was made in press dis
patches to the riotous conduct of the negroes
at Norfolk, Va, some time since. Owing to
the interruption of the mails north, we have
not till now met with the particulars. which
are contained in the following dispatch OF
April 18th from Fortress Monroe:
The uotous demonstration attending the
negro procession yesterday, at Norfolk, 10
celebrate the passage of the civil rights bill
proves to have been more serious than at
first reported. The disturbance originated
with number of the rowdy element ieering
at the procession, and a few negroes mad
dened and inhamed with liquor Firearms
were frequently discharged, and, as its usual
IN such cases, innocent spectators We're The
greatest sufferers. One man was killed and
several persons wounded

jureG by bayonet in the hands of one of
the negroes. The blame of the whole affair
IS divided between the municipal and mill
tary authorities for allowing the negroes TO
carry firearms and other deadly weapons
Win them III the procession. Major Stan
hope, commanding company of the L. S.
Infantry, appeared upon the scene in the
height Of the melee, and succeeded, with
the aid Of his forces, in subduing the excited
passions Of the negroes.
During last night fears were entertained
OF another disturbance, and telegram was
sent to Gen. Miles fer additional troops.
but these were not needed, as the events of
the night proved. and everything passed off
in quietness, Considerable uneasiness was
felt IN Norfolk to-day by many citizens over
the events of yesterday, and general out
break was deemed not impossible. In the
meantime, as a precautionary measure. Gen
Miles sent over this afternoon a detachment
Of the 9th L. 5 Artillery and 18th T. 5. In

r reaction has taken place to some
extent, in New York, in the matter of house
rent, which is lower than it was six weeks
ago, with a great number of houses to rent.
Says the Times (and the spirit of its remarks
will apply everywhere):
The whole business of creating a scare
among the purchasers of any article of
human need, whether Of shelter or food or
clothing is a very base and paltry one, and
deserves 10 Teeoil on the heads OF the inter
ested alarmists People cannot pay half
their incomes for house accommodation and
in many cases will not if they could They
adopt the inevitable course either TO give
up housekeeping altogether and 60 to board
ing, or they give up their houses and take
TO apartments. Either plan involves just
retubutlon upon the owners. And why
should it not This city is a crowded city
Of course, but not more so than two years
ago. while in the suburbs many new resi-
dences have been built, and many more are
IN process Of building. If the owners of
New 1ork property wished to depreciate
that property in the long run, they could not
have taken quicker method of doing so
than by forcing an INDECENT public TO look
for homes IN lodgings or out of town
