Row in Danville Between the Negroe.
Attached to the Burial Corps and
the COlored Citizens of the ToWn--
Three Ofthc FOrmerDangerOusIy q nd
Two Ofthe Latter Slightly Wounded
On Sunday afternoon Mayor Wooding,
of Danville, while strolling on the suburbs
of the town encountered posse of the ne
groes connected with the burial corps
stationed there, who were drunk and very
disorderly. He demanded their names,
which gave them a~pretezt to heap upon
him the foulest abuse. Subsequently, he
recognized one Of the party upon the street,
and with the aid Of Mr.. Butts, one of the
clerks at Fox's drug store, whom he sum-
moned to aid him, succeeded in arresting
him. Next day, about sixty Of the corps
came into town for the avowed purpose of
whipping Dir. Butts, and cleaning out
white people generally. About the time
of their arrival, however, at the store, and
before they preceded to open acts Of VIC
lence, an alteration occurred between one
Of the rioters and colored man, resi-
dent Of Danville. This became a signal
for a general row between the two antago-
ristic colored elements. Brickbats in
vast numbers were thrown. and at least
thirty pistol shots fred. The burial corps
were finally driven down Craighead street
by the Tunsta}l house and Danyille depot,
and compelled to seek refuge at their
quarters outside of the corporation. Po-
licemen Jeter and Pace, and Captain
Taylor, Of the Burial Corps, repaired to
the scene of the conflict, and succeeded in
restoring order. A negro snapped a PTS
toll at Mr. Pace, which. luckily for him,
did not 60 off. Most of the negroes who
instigated the riot were at formerly sta
toned at Fort Delaware as guards Of Con-
federate prisoners, and their conduct while
there is not kindly remembered by those
VITO were unfortunate enough to be at their
mercy. It is a gratifying feature Of the
riot that no white persons were engaged
in it, and that it was simply contest be-
tween the foreign and town colored peo-
pie as to who should hereafter have supre-
acy.-Richmond Wig.

Gen. Sch0ield'S Last Order.

For the information of our readers, and to
Of Congress, we publish to day General Or
ders No. 81 just issued by Gen. Schofeld,
''for the purpose of giving adequate protection
to all persons in their rights Of persons and
may fail, from whatever cause, to give such
protection and to insure the prompt suppress
sion of instruction, disorder and violence, y
&c. We are told that sstrial by civil courts
will be preferred in all cases where there is
salts factory reason to believe that justice will
be done;" and that 'sthis order will not be
construed to excuse civil officers in any degree
from the faithful discharge of their duties It
is intended to aid the civil authority, and not
to superscde them, except in case of necessi-
ty."
Viewing this order from the standpoint fur
nished by Gen. Schofeld's previous acts, tax
en- in connection with those portions of it quo
ted above, we are disposed to place the most
charitable construction upon it. He is appre-
henslve that circumstances may arise, at least
in some portions of the State, in which it will
be necessary to interpose the military author
ity for the preservation Of order at the APP
preaching exciting elections. The recent ri
oous conduct of he negroes in Richmond, in
rescuing offenders against the Law from the
custody of the civil officers, and the threats
made at a meeting Of the negroes hat they
would have sshigh carnival after the adj
journment Of Judge Underwood's court, were
calculated to induce Gen. Schofeld to believe
that the negroes and their wicked advisers
would renew their riotous demonstrations at
the elections, if not during the period of regis
tratiol. No serious fear can be entertained
that there will be any disturbance on the part
of the rebels; for the r. Wing is Uniformed,
by the mos. satisfactory authority, that the
law abiding disposition evinced by the people
and authorities in Virginia is NTH highest de-
gree gratifying to Gen. Schofeld, and that had
if it consisted with the ordinary forms of mil.
itary orders, he would cheerfufly have intro
duced into general orders No. 81 a compli-
mentary recognition Of their exemplary con-

schenck,s seaweed Tonic.

This medicine, invented by DR.. J. H. ScnENcK,
of Philadelphia is intended to dissolve the food
and make it into chyme, the first process of indi-
geston. BY cleansing the stomach with Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appe-
tte and food that could not be eaten before using
it will be easily digested. ---....
Consumption cannot be cured by Scnenck's
Pulmonic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is
made healthy and the appetite restored, hence the
Tonic and Pills required in nearly every case
of consumption. A half dozen bottles of the SEA-
WEED TONIC and three or four boxes of the
MANDRAKE PILLS will cure an ordinary case
of dyspepsia.
Dr. ScHENcK makes professional visits in New

Philadelphia every week. See daily papers of
each place, or his pamphlet consumption for

The State Debt Letter from the Au-
1iItOP


STATE OF VIRGINIA, Aup1roR's OFFICE
sa Richmond, May q, 1867. :
H. G. Fant, Esq, President Of the First
National Bank Of Richmond:
DEAR SIR-In reply to your favor of
the 18th instant, I beg leave to state that
an act was passed at the last session of the
General Assembly, bearing date the 21st of
March, 1867, providing "That the &C
counting officers Of the Treasury pay on
the 1st Of July, 1867, and January, 1868,
two per centum interest on the principal
of the public debt of the State, excluding
therefrom the bonds given for interest on
said debt, under the act of the General As
sembly, passed the I'd of March, 1866,
Ohe act to provide for funding the inter-
est on the public debt, y that being the in
terest which the State feels obliged to
pay until there is a settlement Of accounts
between this State and West Virginia. y
You will observe that in this act no pro-
vision is made for continuing the payment
Of interest beyond the 1st Of January
1868, but an act was subsequently, passed,
to wit, on the Esd of April, which declar-
ed, among other things, that "the semi
annual payments of interest required by
the said act (21st March, 1860, be
continued untI otheracise proridedJy laa0."
The tax imposed by the Legislature, much
Of which is now in process Of collection is
amply sufficient to meet all the de-
mands on the Treasury. The greater
portion Of the amount required to pay the
July interest is already in the Treasury
The form. of evidence to be given to
the bondholders for the amount of
their interest held by the State in allegiance
will be-1st In respect to the register
ed debt: The amount unpaid will remain
to the credit Of the holders upon the books
of the Second Auditor, for which certi-
fcate will be issued if required I'd. Inter
est coupons: These coupons will be pre-
scented at the office of the Second Au-
ditor ; two per cent will be paid thereon
| in money, and for the remainder, not pro-
vided for, new coupon will be issued of
the same number and date as the original.
[ may here remark the interest on both the
registered and coupon debt is only for the
six months preceding the 1st Of July 1867.
In respect to the probable reduction Of
our State debt, | would remark that three
acts were passed at the last session Of the
General Assembly-on the 1st Of March,
1867, Incorporating the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company, which consolida-
ted the following roads-to wit The Gov
ington and Ohio railroad, the Blue Ridge
railroad the Virginia Central, the South
side railroad and Norfolk and Petersburg
railroad. The interest of the State in the
above roads, exclusive Of the Covington
and Ohio. is. in the aggregate. So. 1913, :

duct. Those who suppose that this order or;
ginated in dissatisfaction en- the part Of the
military commandant of Virginia with The
conduct OF our people or our authorities. NAV
dismiss that idea at once' Whilst. therefore
we can but regard the acts of Congress un-
der which Gen. Schofeld derives his au,bor;tv
as unnecessarily harsh aid oppressive. we
may derive some little consolation from tho
assurance that Gen. schofield does not appre-
bend any disturbance of the peace on the part
of the ''law-a abiding" rebels, but that his order
is intended for the special benefit of the in
tensely ''loil," who alone have offered .anv
formidable resistance to the execution of the
laws by the civil authorities.

Greeley and his Assailants.

Horace Greeley, chief editor of the New
York Tribune, has shown himself to be a
man of pluck; and we believe now, and
have always thought, that he was honest
IN his views. He has always advocated
universal amnested for the ssrebels." and
a speedy restoration of the Southern States
TO the Union, as the most rational and eff
fective mode of uniting the two sections
again. For these humane and patriotic
views he incurred the sore displeasure of
all the sn1all-fry political ours and one
horse editors of his party but, when he
became one of Mr.. Davis's sureties for the
reason, as be says, that he was advised it
would have a tendency to soften the animosi-
ties engendered by the war, he was assail-
ed by these unscrupulous men with bit
terness that fairly reused the old vegetenar-
ian, and he went at them with a vim :
throwing them right and left, like real
giant among pigmies. Even the Union
Leaugue Club" of which he was mem
Der, arraigned him for daring to stand bail
far traitor" and summoned him to ap-
pear before them. Hundreds of his radio
al supporters stopped their papers, and
threatened him with humiliation If he did
not acknowledge the error of his way. He
replies to the Solons of the Club thusly !:
Il do not recognise you as capable Of judy
ing or even fully apprehending me. You
evidently regard ne as weak sentimental
list, misled by a maudln philosophy. I
arraagn you as norvow-minaed Jlochheods,
vho aronld like to be useful to great and
good cause, but don't hnow how. Your at
tempt to base a great, enduring party on
the hate and wrath necessarily engendered
by bloody civil war, is as though you
should plant colony on an iceberg which
had somehow driftcd into a tropical ocean"
Bully for Horace We believe you are
right and admire your pluck. 1t is en-
couraging to see at least one Of the strong
est and most influential men of the party
in power thus manfully defending the right
against the attacks Of the more ferocious
seekers after Mr.. Davis's blood.
The Union League condemned the ac-
ton Of the court in releasing MIR Davis on
bail, but sagey concluded that ''there is
nothing in the action Of Horace Greeley
which calls for proceedings on the part Of
this Club" These brave assailants of the
philosopher Of the Tribune will never raf-
Ae for another elephant, and especially if
there is any probability of minning him.
