(Cries of amon in the crowd below.)
Thought that blood enough had been
shed to defend the integrity Of the
national flag, and if there was any
necessity, 800, 600 sabcrS would again
fash in defence Of the same. He
spoke Of manhood suffrage, the right
Of the negro ad jnfHitam, and closed
by persuading the negroes to be on
their guard against those who would
soon be trying to palm themselves
oil as their friends. Judge Baldwin,
who afterwards followed, enlarged
upon this idea, and said, 'dont get
n jug Of rum, don't let the men who
once Scared your backs dissuado
you from doing right Then came
the riot.
Stephen Paschal (colorod) was in
troduced, and commenced speaking,
addressing himself to the whites
stated that if he had had the samo
opportunity they poss es $ ed, he
would have been one Of the smartest

ignominiously fled the field. We saw
Il mcdipal gentleman, with plug hat
and eye glasses undera bench along
side Of negro woman, each trying
to get aS close to the floor as they
possibly could. Such confusion,
such excitement, we never saw be-
fore. The man who cried out You're
liar was a United States soldier.
This the negroes all agree in stating,
as well as gentleman well known
in the city, who was standing by
him, and not only saw the man, but
heard him cry out There were on.

shot in the thumb, and one white
man shot in tho shoulder. The fr--

entirely by negroes; this we saw our
self. are willing to swear to it; and
we had the best possible position for
seeing what was going on.
After the shooting subsided, the
valiant warriors, the choice spirits,
the staunch supporters of the me-
