The Mobile Riot-A Northern Mans Yer
sion of the Affair.
dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.


WASHINGTON, May pa letter just receiv-
ed here from prominent Northern citizen,
well known in the political circles of the North
ern States dated at Mobile, May 18th, gives
one of the most correct accounts Of the late
riot in that city that has been prepared, probab
ly. 1t is brief and comprehensive, and carries
upon its face the impress of truth. The whole
story Of the riot, from its inception to the end
is told in a few words. The writer says:
II write you from this branch Of the lord s
Vineyard, - to give you the plain truth as to the
riot of last night in this city.
''While Judge Kelley was speaking, police
man was having verbal alteration with a
drunken fellow who was misbehaving, and seiz-
ed him for arrest The crowd Immediately
around was excited, but not noisy or violent
At this particular time the horses attached to
the ambulance of Colonel Shepherd, Fifteenth
infantry, were frightened, and started to run
through the crowd. Of course every person
tried to get out of the way and, rushing furiously
in every direction, pressed against others, and
some person believing it to be riot, fired a
pistol, whereupon there was a general firing,
some towards the speakers stand and some
from it. Lights were blown out; Kelley got
under the table, and then got away to the hotel,
uO ULc dttculpLlUg W LuOlcSG uIul.
''There was no person on the stand hurt The
only persons killed and wounded were opposed
to the Radicals, except one negro, who was
found dead some distance from the scene.
'"The whole affair sprang up in moment.
There was no preparation for it. The parties
mostly armed were the negroes. There is not a
respectable man here who does not greatly regret
the occurrence. Many of them, of course, do
not like Mr.. Kelley's Radicalism, but there was
no disposition to prevent his speaking or break
up his meeting by any leading man here. Twas
at the meeting while, and all then seemed at
tentive and quiet.
Judge Kelley came very hastily to the Bat
tie House, and a body of soldiers were thrown
about the house to guard him. He was taken
to his meal by the military, and seemed afraid
to leave here for Montgomery in the regular
steamer, having special boat to carry him
from this wharf He was in no more danger
than am, and could walk the streets with just
as much safety. He did not need military
protection any more than [ do, but he called
on the military for effect. 1t sounded more
martyrlike to need protection. 1t would create
more sensation North. 1t was a trump card.
The whole affair will give Mr.. Kelley more
notoriety than all his other acts combined
II regret that the affair took place, because
of the lives that were lost, because Of the inter-
rupton of free speech, and because it does gross
injustice to the people of Mobile

Horace Greeley and his Club.

A special meeting, of club of Union leaguers
to which Horace Greeley belonged in New York,
was called for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration the conduct of Horace Greeley in be-
coming bondsman for Jeff. Davis
He refused to attend the meeting, and ar
ranged the members of the club as marrow
minded blockheads, who would like to be use
full to great and good cause, but don't know
how" and told them that, tout of life earn
estly devoted to the good of human kind, their
children would select his going to Richmond
and signing that bail-bond as the wisest act,
and would feel it did more for freedom and hui
mainly than all of them were competent to do,
though they lived to the age Of Methuselah. y
He said:
Understand, once for all, that [ dare you
and defy you, and that [ propose to fight it out
on the line that [ have held from the day OF
Lees surrender. So long as any man was seek
ing to overthrow the Government, he was MY
enemy; from the hour In which he laid down
his arms, he was my formerly erring country
man."
Had all Northern men hearts like Greeley's,
we would soon have peace and contentment.
The National Intelligencer thinks that the
ultras at. the North, have sent sundry violent
Radical emissaries to the South, to stir up the
passions of the people, and provoke riots and
tumults they hoping, that if this plan is sue
cessful, it will be made pretext for the getting
up of furious crusade of public opinion in the
North, the re-assembling of Congress in July,
the impeachment and deposition of the Presi-
dent without delay, and the passage of bills of
confscation of Southern lands, and perhaps the
seizure and execution of individuals The Intel
Ggencer, therefore, cautions the Southern people
to say nothing and do nothing which can give
an excuse for the proposed new plan of opera
tions-''t to keep their temper and maintain their
dionity'

military rule, and without representation in
