mOnfl atr

mOnd, etc
NEW YORK, August II.-Specials from
Richmond state that at the Democratic
meeting there last evening, there was a
very large attendance OF both whites and
blacks. While Gen. Ould was speaking
he was interrupted two or three times by a
negro seated at a window of shanty near
the stand. Several cried out, Dry up"
while others yelled, Gets pull the shanty
down. The negro persisted in this in
terruption, when a cry was raised, "Go for
him. and a rush was made at the house,
which was bOmbarded with paving stones.
The crowd was thrown into a panic and
fed in all directions. Order was soon re-
stored, but in few moments another
panic occurred from the same cause. The
white men resumed their attack on the
shanty, and cries Of kill the damned niger,
hang him, etc, were raised. The house
was entered and the inmates fed through
the back doors and yard into the street,
pursued by the whites. One white man
was severely wounded hy a brick on the
head. A number Of others were struck
and two negroes mOrtailv wounded and
one slightly. One Of them il reported
dying. The adjacent alleys NAV reveal a
tale tomorrow. One OF the wounded
negroes is at the Police Station, in
a bad condition. There was one white
man stabbed severely, and one po-
hceman knocked down with a brick.
Several minor casualties are spoken OF
A large number Of split rails. intended for
the assault upon the stand, were found
where the negroes bad been iisIodged who
provoked the riot.

RADICAL rule has been an expensive
luxury to the Taxpayers of this country.
In a speech at Syracuse, n Y, the other
day, the Hon A. J. Rogers said
During the seventy three years our gov
ernment existed, previous 10 the late war,
Ma total expenditures were less than four
teen hundred millions Of dollars. Within
the past three years, since the conclusion of
the war the Radical party has expended
over sixteen hundred millions of dollars
Two hundred millions more in three years,
and that IN time Of profound peace, than
the entire cost Of the government for seven
ty-lhree years previous TO the rebellion.
