II Is said that the recent opinion of Attorney
General Hoar, in the case OF the Texan who Killed
freedman and was tried by court martial, was
frightened out OF him by General Butler Butler 1t
appears, was familiar with the case, and when he
was here last asked Hoar why he hesiated to decide
upon it. Hoar replied that there difficulties In
the way; 1t was not quite clear that the military
thorties had the right to take case out
Of the hands Of the civil courts under
any circumstances The Attorney General went
on to state his objections at considerable length
when Butler suddenly interrupted him by saying,
"Wel, ir you do not give opinion such as think
you should give in view Of the facts will offer
resolution on the subject the first day OF the next

The Election Riot-Death of One of the
Negro RiOters-Twenty Negroes Reported
Wounded.
ALI was quiet along the Potomac to-day The
negro row is over. The darkies have carried the
day and the entire republican ticket is elected by
majority OF between 5000 and 5000. One Of the
negroes who was shot died this morning, and 1t is
believed that another, who was severely wounded,
cannot survive; but the rest and it turns out that
they were quite numerous are In no danger. In the
fhaf i'm
possible to get reliable facts. and 1t was sup
posed that only half a dozen people sustained
injuries. But 1t appears now that at least
twenty were painfully wounded, though not
dangerously. More were injured by bricks and
stones than by gunpowder and lead. The negroes
for the most part used stones in attacking the police
and some brandished knives nercely; but there Is
no stabbing case reported. The ringeaders of the
riot have not yet been caught. and, perhaps will
not be, for the police evidently not anxious to
hunt them up.
