ATTACK ON THE sTREET.cARs.

Yesterday, after the adjournment of the mass
meeting Of freedmen, a report Of which elsewhere
appears, seemingly well-organized effort Was
made by the freedmen who had participated in that
affair to test their right to ride upon the street
cars in violation of the rules of the Company. The
ringleader in the matter, whose name we failed to
ascertain, but who is resident of Meeting street,
opposite Burns Lane, and barber by profession,
thrust himself into the car Of Conductor Faber,
and upon being politely requested BY him TO q.
out, refused to do 50. Mr. Faber informed him Of
the rules Of the Company, and insisted upon his
leaving the insdeof the car, when bis friends find
ing that he was liable to be forcibly elected If re-
sistance was offered, persuaded him to comesout.
Upon the return Of Mr. Faber' car to the scene,
which occurred in Meeting, between George and
Society-streets, q large crowd Of negroes rushed
into it to the great discomfort of the white passen
gers, and although demonstrated with and appeal
ed to by the Conductor, declined to 60 OUT Mr..
Faber then stepped to the front platform and re-
quested the driver to run the car off the track, as
this was his only alternative The effort to com.
ply with his request failed, and the driver at the
suggestion of Mr.. Faber unhitched his horse, and
leaving the car on the track went up TO the COM
pany's stable. Finding themselves disappointed
the rioters endeavored to push the car forward,
when Faber put down the brake and stuck to his

number who had stolen, the iron by which the
switches are turned, and held it in striking ati-
tude over his head, whilst others strove to pull
Mr. Faber away from the brake. At thisjunc-
ture the timely arrival of the police relieved him
from his embarrassing situation -. 7t.r
In the meanwhile, the of Messrs Roumilat,
Rives, and St. Amand had been invaded in the
same way, and in some instances the lady passen-
gers were compelled to leave them for fear Of per
sonal insult and injury. When the rioters found
that the Conductors could not be awed into acqui-
escence with their demands to be permitted To ride
on an equality with the white passengers, they
tried to interrupt the travel Of the cars BY placing
stones on the track s';l.,2.li 3. Rlz
Information of these facts having been commu-
nicated to the Upper and Lower Guard Houses,
detachments were sent from each to the scene of
the disturbance and by the influence of their pres
ence, and the aid of a. squad of regular soldiers
who were despatched from the Citadel the not

particularly, as we have understood, to Gen Citz,

time, to be very serious if not bloody affair.

THE COLUMBIA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ABOUT
TT IN NEW YoRK.-The Tribune gave double
loaded leader to the news from Columbia Of the
fraternization of the ex-Confederates and the ne.
qoes. Under the imposing title Of sNew South
Carolina" old Horace Greeley waxed happy
at the supposed consummation of his lifelong
hopes. But I have suspicion that less honest
radicals than Greeley are rather disappointed,
perhaps alarmed, at the turn matters have taken
in the South. They calculated that the pride and
sensitiveness of the Southern whites would impel

Any how, the news from South Carolina created a

summary ofCongressional proceedings brought

admitted that no defence could be offered for

had been rejected by the Senate. The Globe

marks upon this subject. The debate was
upon the bill to regulate the tenure of office.

says: s.
The quarterly term of the County Court
of Caroline was held here on yesterday
This together with previous announcement
that some of the members of the bar of the
county would deliver addresses on the political
condition of the county, caused the streets. of
the Bowling Green to be thronged with peo-
pie. We soon learned, after conversing with
two Of the gentlemen who had beer announced
as orators for the occasion that there would
not be any political demonstration; that they
considered any move of the kind inexpedient
at this time, and they preferred to wait for
further Developments in the direction OF re-
construction that they had been announced to
speak without their ever giving their assent,
81 without ever being consulted on the sub
siect. This apathy apparently pervades the
entire population. There may be few, but

and they may sba put down as aspirants for
