The direful consequences of the Radi-
cal policy of placing the negro above the
white are aptly illustrated by the course
of the armed negro mob that paraded the
principal thoroughfares on Tuesday
night. We call the attention of the
country to the wanton outrages perpe-
trated by the brutal. ignorant crowd on
that occasion. Without the slightest
offence policemen were murderously at
tackled; without any provocation our
white fellow-c -citizens were bludgeoned;
and poor unoffending white women in
suited and robbed; all this in the very
face of the authority of the nation and
in defiance of the supreme authority,
which appears powerless to protect US
What will be the result elsewhere if
this revolutionary power is permitted to
rule Below we republish the reports
of our local reporters, furnished US yes

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT BY THE NEGROES
LAST NIGHT-THEY STONE SEVERAL
HOUSES IN THE FIRST wARD-THEY
ASSAULT CITIZENS AND POLICEMEN.
As it was expected last night by
number of our citizens that some diff
Guilty would occur in the First Ward,
either before or after the dedication of
the Grant and Colfax pole, most of the
merchants in the neighborhood closed
their stores at an early hour. About
mine o'clock the Georgetown party left
the speakers stand bearing their torches
for the purpose of parading through the
streets of that city to show themselves
off.
When passing the fancy store of Mr..
Chas. Schultz, on Pennsylvania avenue,
near Twenty-second street, the officers
took their swords and cut into the large
windows, tearing away the centre piece of
frame work, and of course demolishing
the large panes of glass. Not being sat
isfed with this, they stoned the upper
portion of the building and literally
covered the floor of the front bed cham
,er over the store, with stones.
Some of the party also entered the
bakery of Mr.. Christian Jacobs, helped
themselves to pies, and walked away,
, refusing to pay for them A difficulty
occurred on Twenty-fifth street, in front
of the residence of a Mr.. Carpenter,
just opposite St. Stephens (Catholic(
Church, Mr.. Carpenters house suffered
! AS our venerable fellow-citizen, Mr..
f: G. Cammack, Grand Treasurer of the
Grand Lodge F. A. M. of this District,
was returning to his home from the
Grand Visitation to Harmony Lodge, he
was assaulted at the corner of 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue by a
crowd of negroes belonging to the pro-
cession and badly beaten and bruised
about the head and other portions of his
body with baseball bats. clubs, and
other missiles, from the effects of which
he is severely suffering to-day. Mr.
Cammack is well known in this commu-
nifty, where he enjoys reputation as a
citizen and gentleman which the best
among us might well envy, and why
these negro demons should have singled
him out as a victim of their outrageous
acts passes comprehension. ~
The boot and shoe store of Mr. Juene.
man, No. 1s4 Pennsylvania avenue, be.
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, was also attacked by the same
parties, the windows smashed, and 6
number of boots and shoes stolen.
Near twenty-second street a negro
man in the line seemed determined tc
get up fight at all hazards, and was
hourishing his sword round at a furious
rate. A pistol was fired by one of the
men in the line, when this man rushed
into crowd, fourishing his sword owe
4 his head, and said if any one fired a pis
tol he would kill every one that came il
his reach; but fortunately no one stand
ing on the sidewalk made any reply, ant
the party moved on. 1t is but justice t,
state that the whites and the better clas
of colored men having charge of the af

Pennsylvania avenue, an Italian woman

Officer Andrew Roth, of the Fifth Pre-

merchandise, told her to shut up he
