Arrest OF 4 Massachusetts Lawyer on tho
Charge of melting the Negroes to Riot

Arrest OF Massachusetts Lawyer on tho
Charge of melting the Negroes to Riot
and Blo0lshe0'
Last night Jedekiah X Hayward, of
Mass, was arrested for using language at
the negro meeting on Friday night calcula-
ted to create riot. His language was as
follows
When I go back to Massachusetts,, shall |
tell the people there that you are determined
to ride in the same street cars in which any
white man or woman rides [''Ycs ?'l
Shall tell them that you intend to occupy
any boxes or seats in the theatre for which
you pay your money? Eyes, yes p =
Shall / tell them that you viii 60 to any
public school where people are taught
["Yesp'] Shall | tell them that you intend
to 90 to any church where the Gospel is
not as Mrs Darlington says-dispensed
with T'sYcs, yes''] Shall | tell them
that you intend, in whatever manner you
may see it, to have every right that any
white citizen of the State of Massachusetts,
enjoys? [tYes RI If you want these
things and cannot get them of yourselves
the young men of the Old Bay State will
help you to get them. They came once and
laid for months for you in the CAtchahom-
ing swamps. and they will come again.
Cheers. We have paid taxes to make you
free, and we will pay more to get you what
you want. Cheers.
He then went on, as he said, to caution
this vast audience During his visit to
Richmond he had discovered bravery among
them that was astonishing. But those who
might be disposed to be reckless, he would
warn that they owed duty to the brave
men who had risked so much for them
CHEERS You would not endanger the life
Of the illustrious Underwood, would YOU
['sNo. No! That we wouldn'tn'1 Well,
then as soon as he leaves you may have a
high carnival for what you please. It is
useless for me to advise you as to what to do;
for great masses generally clio what they have
a mind to- Long and continued cheering.
Here John A. Fitchett arose and said
MIR. speaker, you may tell the people of
Massachusetts, that the colored people of
Richmond are determined to enter any bar
room, hotel. theatre or street car they may
wish" eyes, we will J" Cheers.
The speaker said that a law would have to
be passed for Virginia as had becn passed
for Massachusetts,, compelling hotel proprie-
tors, etc, to allow the colored men equal
privileges with the whites. Loud cheers,
and cries of ''Thats what we want here"
and ''We are going to have it here, too"]
He was arrested on warrant from the
mayor, and was bailed in $4,000 to appear
tomorrow.
Hayward was arrested BY order Of the
Mayor, it is understood, at the instance of
General Schofeld, but Gin our putting the
question to the Mayor, with a view Of learn
ing the facts, he declined to answer. We
therefore think it safe to conclude that the
arrest was made at the instance Of General
Schodeld --I}c|h. Tires.
The trial was in progress Monday Tues
day and Wednesday, bat up to the time Of
going to press, we have been unable to learn
the decision Of the Mayor.

Ex-GovERNoR PERRY ON Reconstruction
There is some natural difference of opin-
ion in the South as to what to do politically
under present exigencies. Ex Governor
Perry, of South Carolina, has published a
letter of advice to the citizens of that State
on the reconstruction law. 1t may be sum-
med up as recommending registry and voting
against convention acceptance of military
rule Indefinitely in preference of an attempt
to reconstruct the State government under
the law. He would bear the ills he has,
rather than fly to others as yet unknown. -
But whether the whites who may agree with
Governor Perry assent to it or not, the con-
vention will be held and State constitution
be framed. This is fact, it seems, that
cannot be escaped .-BaZt Sacn

Nh Greely addressed a large audience of
white and colored persons, at the African
Church, Richmond, on Tuesday night last
on the condition Of the country.
Reconstruction, he held, had been retarded
by the assassination of Lincoln, by the acts
of the Southern Legislatures intended to op-
press the negroes and by the New Orleans
and Memphis massacres. He advised the
negroes not to rely upon confiscation, it was
delusion. They must work for all the
lands they would ever get. Virginia would
again be prosperous, &c. Mr.. Greeley was
listened TO respectfully and attentively.
Mr.. Gerrit Smith followed in a brief address
scconding the views and eulogizing Mr..
Greeley.

ITO the People Of the valsey.--
OFFICE OF THE VALLEY RAILROAD,
Staunton, April 25th,. 1866.

OlhuutOH, <ApllI AolIlJ. 1000
We wish al once to push forward the Line Of
Railroad which is to connect the Potomac with
the Virginia and Tennessee Road. To do this,
we need to have stock taken in the Valley to the
extent of
ONE MILLION OFDOLLARS.
This we propose to have done the following
terms; Two per cent. of the a.aount subscribed,
to be paid in so soon as called for; thirteen per
cent. additional, to be paid within the next three
years; the remaining eghty-fve per cent to be
paid within the next ten years.
If this amount of Stock be promptly taken on
these easy terms we can effect negotiations which
will enable us to haveits remainder taken abroad
and which Will enable us at the same time to raise
the money for the Stock taken at home upon the
Bonds of the company payable in ten wears.
1t is unnecessary to say anything in regard to
the vital Importance Of this great work. Every
properly holder within reach of the Road appre-
ciates it
It may be proper to state, however, that cir
cumstances are more favorable now to the con-
struction of this work than everhefore, or prohs-
bly, than they will be hereafter. We have already
secured

The people of Parkersburg W. Va, have
lately held meeting on the subject of the
national debt, Mhereat a preamble and series
of resolutions were adopted favoring the IS
suing of a permanent paper currency in lieu
of the interest bearing Government bonds.
They urge that the bonds, as far as possible,
be called in, and redeemed in this currency.
Those held by foreigners of course could moi
be got at; but the resolutions proceed upon
the hypothesis that the Government car
compel the return Of those held in this coun
try and the acceptance Of currency in there
place.

On Thursday Of last week, while the
Washington Fire Company" Of Whining
ton, Delaware, On visit to Richmond, and
the Richmond Fire Companies were testing
the relative capacities of their steam engines,
in that city, difficulty occurred between
one of the Wilmington Fireman and negro
man. This subsided, but in measuring the
distance to which the engines had respective
" thrown streams Of water, the negroes
crowded upon the fremen and one of them be-
ing pushed back by q fireman, another negro
struck the fireman and was knocked down in
return by another fireman. The police came
up and arrested both the negro and the fire.
man and were taking them off when the ne
groes made an attempt to rescue their COM
radc The police received accessions to their
numbers and prevented the rescue for some
time, and although armed, and attacked by
sticks. brickbats, and missiles of all descrip-
tions. and some Of their number badly dam
aged by the blows received, yet they rcfrained
from using their weapons. When the police
had nearly reached the second station House
the negroes made a final ard successful
effort to rescue the negro prisoner and car
ried him away in triumph. Gen. Schofield
was apprised of the riotous conduct Of the
negroes and appeared upon the scene, with
Mayor Mayo, and several companies Of sol
dicrs. He requested the sulky, sullen mob
to dispense But they did not heed his re-
quest and he ordered the soldiers to clear the
streets, which they did in double quick"
but not until they had bruised the heads of
several Of the freedmen with the butts of their
muskets. During that night mounted SOL
diers patroled the streets and all was quiet
On Saturday night the Police arrested
negro for disorderly conduct on the streets,
when another attempt was made by the
the police were badly bruised, but they used
their firearms, and prevented the rescue of the
prisoner and well nigh dispersed the negroes,
two of whom were shot, before the soldiers
arrived on the scene. By the assistance of
the soldiers the ringleaders were arrested,
among whom was one white man. After
this arrest everything again relapsed into
quiet.
We are sorry to chronicle this, but as long
as the negroes listen to the low mean whites,
hired with a price to come among them and
stir up strife between them and the Southern
whites, for pecuniary gain to their pretended
friends, the Radicals we can but expect
repetition of just such scenes, which must
rebound to their great disadvantage, if it does
not lead to their speedy extinction.
