The Negro Mob aa ssrSslE.

some Southern papers have admitted,
what seemed reasonable to us, the neces-
sity Of Keeping troops In the South TO
prevent hostile contacts between blacks
aud certain class Of whites. But Il
seems that nj Norfolk, where srcse tho
first ease, perhaps, for military interven-
ton to prevent or punish violence, none
was had. We have waited in vain for
denial from some Radical quarter of the
generally eoucurring statements that
the negro procession of civilians was
armed, aud was noisy and otherwise dis
orderly, and finally upon some pretencs
oi insulting remarks by whites, INDUCED
in acts Of murder against dcfeucelcss
men, women, aud children. IL this
thing occurred at Norfolk il is rcasona-
bic TO suppose that the groundwork Of
like feelings aud acts exists elsewhere
ia the South. Yet we see questions Is
sued to the agents Of the Freedmen's
Bureau A. to what wrongs are inflicted
on negroes, but not word rs to those
that they inaict upon community.
We say this from no feeling OF preju-
dice. We wish the negroes well, and
invoke kind treatment for them. For
the tragedy at Norfolk, perhaps the an
thorities, military and otherwise, are
responsible, for allowing the passage
through the strcots Of an armed ciyie
procession Of blacks, lately released from.
slavery, and exutant at the passage Of
the civil rights bill II 10 certainly ut

Concluding Scenes cfMe Trial--Bc-
haeior o fthe Psisoner.---Antoine Probst,
the murderer Of the Deeriug family at
Philadelphia, has been convicted Of the
murder Of Christopher Dcering, one Of
the eight victims Of his brutal maligni-
ty, leaving seven other indictments a.
gainst him to be tried for the murder Of
the rest of the family. On Saturday,
after elaborate argument by counsel ON
both sides, the case was given 10 the ju-
ry at half-past two o'clock. The jury
theu retired to deliberate upon verdict.
The court remained in session in the
expectation Of speedy aecision, 10
which it was not disappointed, for at
;fstcsn rsiaates to 3o'cleck the jury re-
turned, ready to render verdict
Judge Allison solcmDly cautioned the
immense throug in attendance against
expressions ofapproval or disappoiDt-
ment, and the foreman of the jury for
mally delivered the verdict Of 'guilty Of
murder in the first degree" which was
ratified by polling the jary, at the re-
quest Of counsel for the prisoner.
When the verdict was thus announced
all eyes were turned upon the prisoner,
but he heard the words which scaled
his fate without any seeming emotion
Whatever. lie remained as stolidly in.
different as he had been at any time
since his arrest. Indeed, his impassive
GOODNESS was astonishing. When sum.
monod by the officers he rose without
any trcmor, and followed them TO the
van. The Dispatch says that as he
emerged from the court yell Of aercc
rage greeted him from the immense
throng that filed Sixth street, from
Walnut 10 Chestnut streets. The ex.
citcmcnt eliminated nj that moment in
an almost uncomfortable fury. The Of
iiccrs hastily pushed the convicted man
into the van, aud be was driven away at
full speed, pursued by the curses of the
crowd.
Probst was taken back ~ the county
prison IN clargo Of two officers Of the
court and four "a. lnbers Of Of the police
force, III Of whom wcya armed tpon

gate, the condemned felon stopped light

We begin to witness the fruits of the
Civil Rights bill II has already caused
the blood of white people to be shed in
Norfolk it has been the cause of Ne.
grocs in Boston filling places formerly
occupied by white laborers it has given
Massachusetts negroes the right, or
rather they have impudeutly assumed it,
to take seats beside white Indies in rail,
road cars, when plenty Of other seats are
vacant In short, it is continually in
creasing the bad feeling existing between
whites aud blacks in the North, while it
is certainly not bringing them on better
terms of amity and intimacy in the South.
We fore &c great deal Of trouble in
this connection, even before the Civil
Rights bill is put into practical cxecu-
