RICHMOND, May l2.-Another negro riot
occurred in the lower part Of this city last night.
The negroes attempted to rescue a drunken
negro from the police. Bricks, clubs and
pistols we're used. -Four policemen were brut-
ally beaten, one of them severely injuled. A
company of soldiers guarding the Libby Prison
were called out and captured eighteen of the
rioters.
While this was going on another negro diff
Guilty occurred on First street. The last mob
dispersed upon the persuasion OF a colored
iuryman. To-day mounted soldiers patrol the
streets to keep order, and squads OF police
were placed at all the churches in view OF the
threats of the negroes to force their way IN
among the white people. !,
"A large procession of negro societies attended
a funeral to-day, accompanied by an nnarmed
company Of colored military, the officers Of
which carried swords. There was no disturb
ance.
Last night Jedekiah K. Hayward, of Massa-
chusetts, was arrested for using language at
the negro meeting on Tuesday night calculated
to create q riot. His language was as follows:
"After Judge Underwood leaves. you can mold
high carnival, or what you please. L need not
advise you what to do, for great bodies DO as
they have a mind to-" He was arrested on a
warrant from the Mayor. and was bailed in
$4,000 to appear tomorrow. The citizens
have been apprehensive of q riot all day.
R1cHMoND, May l2.-At the African
Church, about 10 o'clock to night, Judge
Underwood aud Horace Greeley made short
addresses to the negroes. Judge Underwood
advised the negroes against riot. He said
Gen. Scho6eld had told him he had heard
there might be a riot here to morrow, and If
there was he would plant cannon 10 every
street and sweep the rioters down with grape.
Judge Underwood urged the negroes not TO
gather in crowds, and to go about their
business.
Mr.. Greeley urged the negroes not to engage
in a riot, but to 60 peaceably about their daily
nvocatlons.
FoREIaN N~Ews.--Thc foreign dispatches by
the Atlantic telegraph give full particulars OF
the settlement Of the Euxemburs question by
the Peace Conference. The Grand Duchy is
to remain in its present independent position,
continuing to be governed by the King of Hol-
land as Grand Duke. All the great Powers
are to guarantee It's naturalization, and the
fortress is to be RACED. The Prussian troops
are to withdraw from the Duchy within a
month. The treaty was signed by the repre-
sentatiVes of the great Powers, and has also
been ratified by those powers. The result ar
rived at had been announced In Parliament,
and was received in both Houses with much
applause, though there was In the House OF
Commons a show of some dissatisfaction With
England's joining in a guaranty to preserve
the NATURALIZATION of Luxembourg. This guar,
antee was, however, the great point insisted
upon by Prussia, and in securing which her
diplomacy has now a substantial victory
France is estopped from swallowing Luxem-
burg except at the risk of q war with all the
great Powers. Notwithstanding this apparent
ly final settlement. it is said that the danger
of a war has merely been postponed, and that
{, proposition will be made blythe great Powers
for a general disarming. The debate on the
Reform bill was closed in the House of Com
mons on Friday night. The bill was strongly
denounced by both Mr.. Gladstone and MIR.
Bright. On q division, nearly six hundred
members voting, the bill was sustained by a
majority of sixty-six, and the Derby Ministry
saved for the present Earl Derby is reported
as having officially made the very singular
statement that the real history of the recent
Fenian uprising will not be made public on ac-
count OF apprehended trouble with certain for
eien Governments which are involved in the
nlot, The death sentence of the Fenian Doran
had been COMMITTED to a long term Of imprls-
onnent The death of Governor Wright, the
u. s. Minister at Berlin, is announced. The
latest previous advices had given hope of his
recovery. Greece is said to have contracted
with the United States for the purchase OF
ironclads. The telegraph connecting st. Re
tersburg with the mouth of the Amoor river
has been completed.
