~A correspondent writes respecting
the riotous proceedings in Washington on
Tuesday, the I'd instant, and says:
The annunciation of majority for
Bowen on Tuesday afternoon occasioned
a gathering of from three to five thousand
negroes that night. After, listening to
several incendiary speeches at the City
Hall, they marched with drums and horns
to the Chronicle office. where Forney fed
the fire of their fury with more inf1amma-
tory talk, then to the residence of Bowen,
where more maddening speeches were
made. Upon leaving there, worked up
to the highest pitch of demonism by their
willy and INSCRIPTIONS white leaders, these
ignorant, deluded creatures spreed them
selves over the city for the preparation Of
acts of fendish violence, murder, robbery
and destruction of property.
These outrages aroused feeling OF
deepest indignation among the white citi-
zens, who concluded to provide for them
selves the protection that the authorities
appeared to be powerless to afford to life,
persons. and property against this 6end-
ish. mob Of ignorant negroes intoxicated
with liquor and demonised by the incen-
diary speeches Of their white leaders. If
another negro demonstration had been
made on Wednesday night, (the 3d. it
would have produced riot more fearful
than was ever known in any of our cities.
and which would have ended only in the
determination of the whole black popula-
ton of the City Of Washington.

The Louisiana Board of Registration
has. issued an order directing the State Of
6ccrs elect to enter upon their Offices or
juno. IS, and the Legislature to meet or
the 22d. This is in opposition to Genera
Buchanan's recent order that the State Of.
6cers should qualify in November and
the Legislature should not assemble unit
Congress had accepted the Constitution
Mr.. Packard, Chairman of the Registra.
ton Board, who signed the document, has
been arrested and held on his own recog-
nizance to appear before military com
mission for trial.
Evidently with view of meeting this
and any other similar cases that may arise,
a measure has been concocted, which the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune alludes to in the following
He says:
"Mr. Wilson will move in the Senate
an amendment to the omnibus RECONSTRUCT
ton bill, in effect that within ten days af-
ter the bill becomes law, the officers elect
il, the various States named in the law,
shall be installed in office by the general
the military district, provid-
ing they can qualify under the proposed
fourteenth amendment of the Constitution
Of the United States: but they shall con-
stitute provisional governments until the
States are duly admitted into the Union. :"
The bill introduced by MIR. Payne in
be House on Monday, in relation to the
of Southern State officers.
appears to be in che same direction, pre-
'cribing as it does, that the Southern
Legislatures shall be called as prescribed
10 the State constitutions or within thirty
lays after the passage of this act by the
Governors. .~ go" Isl = ~.

EG Grant and Colfax take opposite
views Of the necessity Of a clear and we'll
defined policy for the Government, in a
time Of general doubt and anxiety. The
former says in his letter Of acceptance,
that ''in times like the present it is i'm
possible. or. at least, eminently improper
to lay down policy to be adhered to-
for four years. The latter says in his let
ter, that ''the platform * x * and the
resolutions x x so entirely agree with
my views as to a Just national policy"
that he thanks the Convention hardly
more sincerely for the nomination than
"for this clear and conspicuous declara-
ton Of principles" Let us stop here to
say that Colfax was for once lucky in not
stumbling on to the word perspicuous in
stead Of the conspicuous which be uses }
Now here is pretty team to drive through
a political campaign. Grant says every
thing is changing" principles of course
included; and that he shall study to be
accommodating. Colfax will not be out
done in his slavish adaptability to any de-
claration his party, may make. but be
seeks to make his pinchback pass for gold
in affirming that under all this whiting
and shifting and deceit lies a policy that
may be called stable. These two yoke
fellows do not draw very evenly for their
party to begin with. It will not take
long to satisfy the managers that they do
not draw at an.-Boston Post.

1t is provided that "the duly registered voters
OF said county shall vote on the question of the

Tho woolley Case and MIR. Butler---Poli-
-s-sesg tfcians and Mr.. Chase. -: s:
The Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Sun of the 9th instant says:
- It was expected that Mr.. WoolIey would
have been. discharged from custody so soon
as he purged himself Of the alleged con-
tempt Of the authority of the House, but
he still remains in custody. Mr.. Butler
refuses to give the order to the sergeant
alarms for his discharge until the return
of the other members of the Committee
He was not SO particular about the pres
ence of the other members of the commit
tee, when he was conducting the examina-
ton, and indeed the Massachusetts mem
Der and Mr.. Logan afterwards continued
the examination and took the testimony
to-day Of another witness in regard to Mr..
Woolley's Cincinnati bank account.
Mr.. Butler is very much incensed at
the publication of the petition and state
ment of Mr.. Woolley, which was offered
to the House yesterday, but which it re-
fused to, receive and hear read. He talks
again about breach Of privilege, &C.,
and says the publication was an insult to
the House. He has not intimated, how.
ever, whether be will take his revenge out
upon the defenseless Woolley, or whether
he will haul Mr.. Woolley's counsel OF
somebody else up for contempt.
A good deal Of feeling has been excited
| in. Democratic circles here by an editorial
in the New York World, acquiescing, to
some extent in the doctrines Of universal
or negro suffrage. The Chase men are,
Of course. well pleased With the article,
and think that it argues we'll for the pros.
poets of the Chief Justice at the 4th o.
July New York Convention. The dispo.
sition among members of the House and
of Democratic leaders here seems to be te
declare against negro suffrage anywhere
unless it shall be established by the will
Iof the people. That it is the absolute right
/ of the States, North and South, to con.
troll their own State organizations upor
this subject is to be fully recognized.

Majority for the Law, 81.

Majority for the Law, 81. ae' E'
Though the question before the people
ofthis county on Saturday last was very
important one. it failed to bring out any
thing like full expression Of their
sentiments. In the absence Of the excite
ments attending a,political and personal
contest. and in consequence of the busy
time With farmers, we could hardly have
expecteda full vote to be cast. Had there
been full vote, we feel sure the result
would have been much more gratifying to
the ftiendstof the new law. Having now
been adopted fairly. in accordance with
the provisions Of the act, we trust every
good citizen will yield hearty support
tothe new system. Itmay be possible that
tha4riends Of this system will ultimately
be disappointed in their expectations Of
tie GOOD results to be derived from it, and
shouM this, be the case. let US try some
other plan. and evince q hearty desire to
insure good roads for our county.f Ley
ing aside all prejudices against the new
system, and with true county pride and,
liberal public spirit. let every one feel it
. duty to obey and carry out the provi-
sions Of the law, and as this is the duty of
ourscitixens and all who are interested in,
.nd 10 be benefited BY, good roads, we
have no fear that there will be any failure
to yield cheerful obedience to its require
ments. ~ - = -.

Died, at the residence of her husband, JOHN
F. HEARD, in the town of St. Martinsville, La,
on Thursday, 2lst of May, at y O'Clock, A. M,
Mrs. MARY E. HEARD, in the 35th year of
her age.
The cruel tortures of years have have terlni-
mated, and another of Earth's crown of thorns
has been exchanged for one, radiant with the
glories and happiness of Heaven. Again there
IS fresh grave in our midst. We kneel by its
side. We bend over it, our tears drop upon it.
Mrs HEARD a native of our parish and a
member of one of our largest and most respect
ed families. She was full of good qualities and
the usual fortitude with which she bore her Attic
ton was high illustration of them. Whether
as daughter, wife, mother, sister or friend, she
was always exemplary.
Her death was not unexpected. The victim
had long been marked, and the terrible suffer-
ings of months had indicated the irresistible ap-
proach of the inevitable.
Words, we know, fall coldly upon the heart,
oftimes they are intrusive. But there Is kind
ly sentiment of human nature which bids US 60
into the mourning household to gently press the
hands of the afflicted, and, if not to heal their
wounds, at least to pour over them that balm OF
friendly sympathy, which aids their healing;
Why should we mourn? The few days allot-
ted to human life pass rapidly. One by one, our
friends are gathered to the bosom of the COM
mon mother Day by day. our heads are bow
ed by the storm, and our hearts are moved by
the touch of sorrow. Some live to old age, 9TH
ers die young. The ripened fruit falls to the
ground; the unripened is pierced by the worm,
has no choice, but strikes, at random, the young
as we'll as the old. Yet, sooner or later, it
reaches all. How oftener than otherwise does it
strike in mercy! Death is another ife,-it is
infinite-it is this, life is little. The dead one
has reaped the harvest of eternal joy, Why,
then, should we mourn? Rather, kiss the hand
that smites! 1t is the Eter nal hand of infinite
Mercy and Love!
