COPIES OF THE reports Of Major-aeneral JOHN
Pope Major-General WAGER swAYNE, and Colonel
o. L. SHEPHERD, respecting the recent riot at Mo
rile, Alabama, have been published. There are
some material discrepancies in these official docu-
ments. General Pope says everybody appre-
hended disturbance during Judge KELLY's
speech" Colonel SHEPHERD shows that the band
of his regiment was present. and he also was there
as spectator, not apprehending danger, though
he says that sswhile Mr.. KELLEY warmed into
his theme, eliciting the applause OF the
large concourse Of people, evidence OF
disturbance manifested itself in such q
manner as to convince the speaker that
thore was an intention to silence him and
put him down, by q lot OF men pre-
sent for that object and no other" General
SwAYNe says that so far as he could le>rn, the
disturbance was not apprehended or deliberately
planned" 1t is not easy to reconcile these differ
ences Of statement, but it will be remembered that
General PopE's headquarters are at Atlanta,
| Georgia, and That the report Of General swAYsE
| is made upon his own personal inquiry upon the
scene OF the riot Immediately after the outbreak.
Notwithstanding it is made apparent that the
disturbance was caused by the rowdy element,
and confined to that class, few in number, and
that that element exhibited itself but for few
minutes, not only are the Mayor Of Mobile and
the Chief Of Police removed by General Pore,
but he gives notice of his intention to remove
the entire police force, and probably change the
board OF Aldermen IN q few days. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr. JoHssos, adopting the constitution OF the
Supreme Court in the Mississippi injunction case,
that the duties Of the commanding generals "must
necess rily be performed under the supervision OF
the President as commander-in-chief," will revoke
the order deposing the Mayor and chief OF police
Of M0biie, and all other orders Of similar charsc-
ter, m ade by the several commanders OF the t7e
districts, and that he will instruct them that here
after they arenot at liberty to remove at pleasure,
State executives legislators and Mayors and Alder

THua1ow WEED in the New York Con,mercioi
Advertiser, publishes the following "reminiscences
Of his first and only visit to Charleston: "Arriv.
ing (n 1885,, early on Sunday morning, we re-
paired with wife and daughter, to the Mills House
where our name upon the register called together
group Of the chivalry, who Cooked daggers."
Finally, gentleman called in, Joined the others,
and after some conversation with them, came
where we were reading newspaper, and intro
duced himself as Mr.. BEECH, Charleston mer-
chant, but originally from onondaga county. His
presence and influence soothed the excitement
which the visit Of "Black Republican occasioned,
much to the relief Of the host who told us that he
apprehended unpleasantness. After church We
sought and found Mr.. henry DESAUssuBE, who,
learning that our visit to Charleston had for its
simple object the discovery Of an orphan, cast in its
infancy, upon the charity Of that city, he seemed
alike surprised and gratiaed. The incident was
rendered mutually pleasant BY tho circumstance
that the orphan for whom, on vague Information,
we were cropping, had been adopted by Mr.. DEsAus-
SURE, the very gentleman to whom we had, acci-
dently or instinctively, applied for information
So that when it came out that brother and sister
(both as bright as beautiful in person and charac-
teri left in their infancy to the charity Of two
cities (Cbsrleston and Albany, each unconscious
Of the existence Of the other, had been adopted,
tendelly brought up, and as tenderly loved one BY
Mr.. D. and the other by ourselves, our frst and
last visit to Charleston though little cloudy In
the morning, cleared up, and Is agreeably remen-
bered."l r.s ts,,'t ''hl
