WASHINGTON, Jnne3.
The election has been followed by a
great deal Of excitement, resulting in
murder and outrage. The Democrats
believing on Monday night that they
had carried the city, were out serena
ding their friends and abusing the COL
ored men. Several collisions occurred
and many persons were more or less
Injured, one OF them being white boy
who was seriously wounded. Lust
night the Republicans were ser.
enading their friends, and The even
ing was made memorable by one
murder and numerous collisions,
The negroes were assaIled ut vari.
Gus points with stones. brickbats, clubs
and insults, which they retaliated du.
ring the night by attacks on several
stores and houses, and It Is undoubt.
edly true that In many cases the paS.
ties who suffered from these attacks
were guiltless OF any provocation. One
OF the collisions occurred on the ave.
nue. near the National Hotel. In this
case, aB proven by abundant evidence,
the whites were aggressive and the ne.
gro acted soley on the defensive. He
tried 10 get out OF the way, but al tter
being followed for some distance by one
OF them who was armed with
billy, he turned upon his pur.
suers, and In tho encounter the white
man received severe cut on the arm,
from which he bled TO death before a
surgeon could be called. The negro
made his escape, and Is not known or
suspected. Two restaurants and two
drug stores were partially ransacked
during the night, but whether by the
serenuding party or not is not vet es.
tablIshed. ltis probable that at least
thirty persons have been more or less
injured In tho last forty-elght hours,
but only TWO or three of them are suf-
fering any serious Inconvenience.
Where the blame lies IL is Impossible
In most cases 10 say, Us the trouble
grew out OF the political excitement 70.
menied by noisy demaRogues on both
sides. Very few arrests have vet
been made. The city was greatly dis.
turbed all day about the affair Of last
night, and white roughs talked this Of.
ternOon about making an extensive
raid Ibis evening through sections oc-
cupied by tho blacks. The entire police
force Is, however, on duty, and ready
TO 60 on an instant's notice to uny part
OF the city. -
Evidence has been taken to-day
showing that In the Fifth ward OF this
city, at the late election, full one hun.
dTed Soldiers voted illegally. The City
Register will refuse to issue cerlif.
cate ol election 10 the Democratic
Councilmen, and the contest will no
change the election In this ward as to
put the Council IN the hands OF the
Republicans.
