IL Terrible Negro Riot"

The World and the Herald have
been attempting to manufacture cap
ltal out of what they call a terrible
negro riot at Washington. They
draw fearful pictures of sanguinary
blacks marshaled IN the streets. breath
ing out threatening and slaughter; of
white citizens trembling for their
lives; of anguish and de,?onish tri-
umph.
1t Is somewhat astonishing. after
this nerve-sbakiug introduction, to
find that the whole matter resolves
into a quarrel between some white
roughs and several black vagabonds.
IN which one person was killed and
another dangerously wounded.
Hardly a day passes that We do not
see in the New York papers accounts
of atTrays and murders by men who
voted the Democratic ticket at the
last election, and whose political or
thodcxy Is never questioned in Cop
perhead circles. These .'httle on
pleasantnesses" are so frequent that
they seldom secure more than few
lines Of IN eutiun in out-ot-the-wav cor
ners. They are not made the occa-
SION for luguhrious jeremaids upon the
advent of anarchy and the decay OF
republican institutions.
That there are lawless and turbu-
lent spirits among the negroes Of the
South Is universally admitted; al
though their general peacefulness and
obedience 20 law Is most remarkable.
And 1t Is generally found that thew
