During the day of the Civil Rights bill
procession the command was prepared at all
times, on the call Of the Mayor of Norfolk,
to furnish a military support The early de-
mand was vainly looked for-others expect
ed
Military forces were on the spot, and tel
egraphed for, to Richmond and Old Point,
later drriring. Had they been used, by the
Post Commandant, without official applca-
ton to the municipal authorities, it would
have seemed an infringement Of Civil Law.
The officer was ready at any moment to car

exercise Of rnanticipated-Ma Law
"The Mayor of the city appeared near the
scene of the murder. He found there the
Post Commandment, who had already sup
pressed the riot in person. His regulars
wanted only the order, and expected to re-
celve the command to quiet riotous crowd
which the mob had resolved itself into.
"Momently expecting Il call for assistance
at night 40 P. NJ Major Stanhope, accom-
| panied by his orderly, appeared on Bank
street. Threatened by the mob, fired at by
revovers in the hand Of al iniuical band, and
verbally denounced at the moment Of hoping,
by his presence, and by that official presence
delicately announcing to the Mayor his reacli-
ness and will to assist the city authorities
His disposition to quell excitement was re-
garded as o1icioasness, and his intentions
magnhed into a. disposition to aerlnina tc,
rather than diminish difficulties 5s
Mortified at silence towards his eviuced dis
! position to aid the city authorities, as proved
by bis continuance through the public streets,
| the commanding officer returned to lis offise;
on the way to which, lie was assailed by par
ties from the mob composed of whites, who
not only threatened his life Immediately, but
indirectly, or, in fact, fired a voey at him
Major Stanhope next day made this remark !.
Il was ready to assist the municipal auth orr
ties, and awaited call for assistance from the
Mayor Failing to receive it, anticipating no

command, shall be forced to arm the blacks

lor Stanhope spoke under great provocation
He has 10 thought Of arming the blacks; but
every good citizen knows that the passions of
our people were justly aroused by the barba-

not doubt that Major Stanhope was fired at
