UisARMING NEGROES i be blacks u New
Orleans are being generally disarmed, it's SAID.
"Why were they allowed to arm themselves ID
the first instance ?" Have the blacks about
Richmond been disarmed2 This is duty the
authorities owe to our citizens
It is no fault of the Southern people that
the negroes have got themselves INTO dincu,-
ties in various places in the South, by med
ding with arms, and by their parades ano pro-
cessions We all anticipated theresults precisely
as they have fallen our, and appealed to the
authorities to check them in these offensive
demonstrations in which they were instlgate,d
BY low white radical emis;aries Our appeals
we're unheeded They were allowed to 90 On
doing as they pleased until rloting has become
the order Of the day.
It is cruel thus to trihe with the negroes
cruel to both them and the whites. Why de-
lude them with the idea that they may do as
they please, when in the end it costs them their
lives-and costs the lives of white citizens and
soldiers. Better stop them in the beginning,
when it costs nothing. The old adage, AN
ounce of prevention is worth pound OF cure, =
NAV be consulted with advantage by our local
military authorities.
We hope the tragica fate that belell the
white incendiaries at New Orleans, who instl-
gated the negro riots, will tie a warning to all
such infamous characters everywhere. so
surely as they provoke Disturbances, so surely
will they get their reward. They are greatly
more to blame than the ignorant creatures they
delude and mislead Rich. Wing.

By the arrival ct New York Of the steam
ship Java, We have advces from Europe to

the riots in London had materially sub2ided.
The Reform League had called another meet

alleged that the consent OF the Government
had been obtained. This, however, the Gov
er0ment promptly denied, and warned the
League against holding the proposed meeting
ct the Park The League officers then admit
ted that they had been mistaken and resolved
to hold the meeting at Agricultural Hall,
Islingtcn The Government had no objection
to q meeting being held at Primrose Hil, a
fine open commons On the suburbe ct London,
but would not allow the Royal Parks to be
used until it was legally decided that the peo-
pie had a right to assemble there for political
purposes.

DESPITE the disaster at Konnigqratz. Aus
TRANS say that their rife is lar better than the
Prussian needle gun. And the Bava'lans as
sert that their Podewts musket is much
superior TO the Prussian arm. Its excellence
was shown at Kissngen. An officer wh9 was
there IN the Fl ght writes:
c. Mess that prefer our muskets to the
Prussian. be DC edle gun has only one ad-
anrage-QucknesS of firing Usually this ad-
vantage is not so very important, because Of
the many bullets flying about comparatively
few hit Al first, It's true, the tremendous
shower OF balls surprises, but one soon gets
accustomed to it, and the Prussians will most
certainly, as soon as our troops have acquired
the necessary composure in presence OF such
fire, learn bitter experience.
Several other persons confirm this testimony
Indeed, the advantage ola good rifle in the
hands Il those who can use it and take steady
aim, is shown by the sturdy resistance the
Bavsrian Jagers made against the Prussians,
and the difficulty the latter had in forcing them
to retreat A great advantage, not sufficient
