Riot at Norfolk..-One Person Killed.
Fr. MONROE, April l9.
The riotous demonstration attending the
negro procession yesterday. in Norfolk, to
celebrate the passage Of the Civil Rights Bill,
proved to have been q more serious affray
than at first reported. The disturbance origi-
mated with number Of the rowdy element
jeering at the procession, and few negroes,
maddened and infamed with liquor. Arms
we're frequently discharged, and as is usual
in such cases, innocent spectators were the
greatest sufferers. One man was killed, and
several persons wounded.
The following are the names of those killed
and wounded Robert Whiteheart, killed,
and his stepmother mortaliy wounded, John
Whitehearts, dangerously wounded; VIM.
Mosely, city watchman, badly beaten, and
his son SO dangerously injured that his life is
dispaired of; Lawrence Hampton, . colored
man who was seriously wounded by a bayonet
in the hands Of one of the negroes. The
blame of the whole affair Is divided between
the municipal and military authorities, for
allowing the negroes to carry firearms and
other deadly weapons, with them in their pos
session.
Major Stanhope, commanding company
Of the Thirteenth infantry, appeared upon the
scene in the height Of the melee, and sue
the excited passion of the negroes. During
last night fears were entertained of another
disturbance, and o telegram was sent to Gen.
Miles for additional troops, but those were
not needed, as the events Of the night proved,
and every thing passed off in quietness. Con-
siderable uneasiness was felt IN Norfolk by
many of the citizens over the events of yes
terday, and q general outbreak was deemed
not impossible. In the meantime, as pre-
cautiouary measure, Gen. Miles sent over to
| the city this afternoon = detachmet Of the 9th
United States ARTILLERY, and Twelfth Infautry,
to meet any events that may possibly tran

WASHINGTON, September is. 1866.
Since the return Of the President 10 Inc

attention in the way Of making appoi"..
ments and removals almost exclusive! W
the State of PENNSYLVANIA. Senator Se"an,
with an influential delegation, mas oeeh III
The CITY for the past two days, ana nave
had several interviews with the President.
Most of the appointments for the city vi
pb;,,dcynh;a have been made, the nc"
officials being mainly Republicans. AS the
ELECTION is only about three weeks distant,
!, : vary questionable as to whether the
nha,ces which have been made can accom-
n,,.h any benefit. There is considerable OF y
ii',hi over the position Of Surveyor of the
Pnrl, there being several applicants for the
position.
The Democrats Of Pennsylvania are
working with great energy to elect Clymcr,
but with grca, odds against them IN the
contest. 1t is conceded in some we'll
informed quarters that if q Radical gain is
prevented there will be cause for rejoicing.
The Radicals express themselves san
guinc Of between $4,000 and 10000 majo-
ri,y. How their expectations will come
ont remains to be proved. Ii is certainly
q matter Of regret that there should have
been such delay in removing prominent
anti. Administration men from influential
official positions.
Mr.. Chandler. Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury, left here about ten days age
on trip north, when it was stated that he
would return to duty on the lst of Octo.
her. Several of his friends, however, now
assert that he will resign his position, deem
ing il impolitic to return to office under the
present Administration. Mr.. Chandler has
never concealed his political sentiments
hut his friends in New Hampshire, from
which he halls, are calling upon him louiiy
TO show his color>, and not give the slightest
foundation for suspicion that hc Is friendly
towards the President. Should he resign,
il is probable that John Wilson, Esq. Third
Auditor, would lie his successor.
The rowing band oil sclf-stylcd southern
lovali>is are still engaged in Stumping the
New England States in behalf of fresh on
>laughts upon the southern people. Brown
low and Hamilton are the leading spirits,
and il is really surprising to find that they
possess such influence in the Radical
party. They have hosts of admirers and
apol6gists here, the majority OF whom are
snuglv ensconced in good paying official
positions, and who generally divide their
time by working for the success of the
Radicals and violent personal abuse of the
President, which can lie INDUCED in with
impunity, as he does not seem to regard it
as OF value enough to notice, and the heads
Of many bureaus take no especial pains to

Gearal r. L. Lee, Richmond, Va:
General,-Your communication of date
the 18th instant, stating the steps you had
taken, after reading the Presidents procla-
nation of the goth ultimo, with the view
of complying with its provisions when you
learned that, with others, you were to be
indicted for treason by the Grand Jury at
Norfolk: that you had supposed that the
officers and men of the Army of Northern
Virginia were, by the terms OF their sur
render, protected by the United States
Government from molestation so long as
they conformed 10 lis conditions that you
were ready to meet any charges that might
be preferred against yon, and did not wish
TO avoid trial, but that il you were correct
rs To the protection granted by your parole,
and were not to be prosecuted, you de-
sired TO avail yourself Of the President 5
amnesty and proclamation, and enclosing
an application therefor, with the request
that in that event it be acted on, has been
received and forwarded to the Secretary
of War, with the following opinion en-
dorsed thereon
linn opinion, the officers and men pa
rolled at AppomattoX Courthouse, ana
succ, upon the same terms gwen TO Lee,
Cannot be- tried for treason 50 long as thcy
observe the terms of their parole. This Is
my understanding. Good faith as well as
True policy dictate that We should observe
the condition of that convention. Bad
faith on the part Of the Government, or
construction of that convention sublecting
the officers to trial for treason, would pro-
duce feeling Of insecurity III the minds
al all the officers and men. If so disposed,
they might even regard such an intraction
OF terms bv the Government as all entire
release from all obligations on their part.
Twill state further, that the terms granted
by ne met with the hearty approval Of the
President al the time, and Of the country
generally. The action Of Judge Under
wood, in Norfolk, has already had an inju-
rious effect, and would ask that he be
ordered to quash all indictments found
against paroled prisoners of war, and to
desist from the further prosecution Of
them. U. 5. GRANT,
