ADOut the time tnao q negro military com
pany, parading at night through the streets
| Of Baltimore, wantonly fired into an in
offensive crowd Of bystanders upon the
sidewalk, and killed young Ellinger, the

encouragement OF negro outrages, pub
lished the following:
"There are nearly two full colored regi-
mcnts organized in the District of Colum-
bia, chiefly composed of the men who
fought against the rebels during the war.
Many Of them purchased their muskets
from the Government at the close of the
rebellion, by paying six dollars apiece, and
they have regularly drilled ever since No
such order as that of Swami, Mayor of Bal
timore, can reach these brave citizens for,
apart from the fact that they are an indus
tTiCUs, sober, and handwriting people,
stands the other fact that they never inter
fere or obtrUde themselves upon others
Yet the time may come when they may be
as essential in preserving the peace of the
District rs they were essential in preserving
their liberties" "
This was regarded at the time as simply
gasconade. 1t was well known that the
negroes throughout the city were secretly
arming themselves, that they were drilling
night after night, and q timely caution had
been given to the authorities that such pro-
ceedings BODIED no good to the peace of the
city.

RADICAL CONSPIRACY AT WASHINGTON
We have 10 disposition to follow the
example OF Forney lit is the last we would
follow i'll publishing sensation stories to
create panics. But We have good reason
10 believe that Il collision between the
executive and Legislative departments of
the Government is expected at the meeting
of Congress. The Radicals we know have
the disposition to overthrow the Executive.
if they shall deem it safe to make the
attempt. That this idea has been instilled
into the minds Of the negroes at the me-
tropois we have incontestible evidence.
WE HAVE SEEN AND READ A LETTER FROM NE
GROES IN THAT CITY TO a NEGRO IN THIS, DEM
ONSTRATING THE FACT THAT THE NEGROES
THERE ARE EXPECTING AND PREPARING FOR IT.
We could give the name Of the writer and
the parties written to, if necessary.
IL writing to his correspondents here, he
refers to "the President of some secret
political society in this city, and says:
g Wien yOU and III. President come here
y0u arW come tceN armed, and help us through
to sustain Tie men WhOno 1ce Aaoe elected TO
make lars for the a0od Of tie country" He
adds fulther, g that arms plenty can be
secured iii Washington, and men to use
them, g." and evidently anticipates an armed
conflict when Congress assemblies. He re-
fers to g the Maryland rebels" after the
style Of Forney, and seems to covet the
opportunity to meet them in battle ar
ray.
The Lynchburg " MI President " is not
named. He may be Kelso, or some other
black conspirator; but whoever he is, it is
obvious that he is one of the officers of
those secret political societies that hold
communication with each other from one
extremity of the country to the other.
It is by such means that the peace Of the
country is imperilled, and negroes Of the
South are banded in support of the Radi-
cal conspirators.
