Bloody Riot.
Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, July 90.


Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, July 90.
A horrible afrray occurred on the
steamer Dubuque, after leaving this
city this forenoon, which terminated
i'm the killing of two negroes (deck
hands) and one raftsman, and the
badly wounding of two or three 9TH
ers. AS near as can learn, the
trouble originated as follows: Fifty
raftsmen came aboard the boat at
Davenport, and the clerk ordered two
of the negro deck hands to stand on
guard ut the gangway while he as
sorted the deck from the cabin pas
sengers, and not to allow any one to
pass without his permission. One of
the raftsmen tried to pass this guard
and make his way to the cabin, when
the deck hands ordered him back un-
til his ticket was examined by the
clerk. He, not liking this, COM
menced pitching into the deck hands,
who got the best of him, when the
raftsmen, to the number of over one
hundred, came to his rescue, stab
bing end beating the two deck hands
until about dead, threw them into
the river and made an assault on the
rest Of the deck crew, succeeding In
killing three more of them and throw
ing their bodies into the river. One
Of the raftsmen was also killed In
the melee, making six in all killed.
AS soon as Hampton was reached,
Captain Rhodes landed the boat,
when the raftsmen drove the deck
crew ashore, injuring several of them
with stones. AS soon rs this was
over, they went aboard the boat, and
ordered the Captain to proceed up
the river, or they would burn his
boat. He being in their power, and
fearing they would carry their threat
into execution, headed his boat up
stream, and In the mean time tele-
graphed to the Sheriff here, who
chartered an extra train, and left
with large force of men well armed.
They over took the boat ut Clinton.
and Immediately took possession of
her and started for this city.
On their arrival here, there were
5000 people on the river bank. togeth-
er with the crew who weIe driven Off
the boat, and with their and other
portions of the crews assistance,
they succeeded In recognizing forty
two of the men, who were taken to
Jail under strong guard. A large
force Is posted about the Jail, and no
further trouble Is expected.
The city Is full Of raftsmen who
came ashore, but an extra force of
policemen has been stationed about
the city, and it Is thought all will be
quiet for the night. An examination
will probably take place tomorrow.
There are men on the lookout for
the dead bodies thrown from tho
boat into the river.

what has Been Lost by.
the South and What
May Dc Gained.

From the Macon (Ga.) Journal and Messenger.
by the war we lost at one blow
the accumulated wealth Of two CEN
turies; we lost our liberties, We lost
all those rights, privileges and i'm.
munities which we had enjoyed for
three-quarters of a century, and We
lost the protection of that constitu-
ton which we thought to be the em.
bodiment ofthe perfection of human
government. We may not have lost
them fairly. They who deprived ia
OF them may not admit that we lost
them. They may pretend, rs they
do, that everything they have done,
are doing, and may yet do, Is war
ranted by the copstitution- But IL ia
not the less true practically that we
have lost all that we have stated. and
IL Is equally true that Democracy,
Whiggery and States Rights can no
more help us to retrieve our loss than
we can bring back to earth the great
founders of those parties. and get
them to "invoke the genius or the
constitution i'm our behalf.
We can however, recover all that we
have lost. We have great future if
we only act wisely. We can regain
our liberties and our power, and be-
the most prosperous people on the
earth; but we can never do 80 III We
lose our time and waste ou. energy
rummaging in the political dustheap
of the past, and trying to fan into n
flame the expired cinders of defunct
political parties. Instead of constan-
ly invoking Virginia and Kentucky
resolutions, let us apply our hands
and our brains to develop and utilize
the limitless resources with which
providence has surrounded us. In
stead of protitless wrangling overthe
past, let us look to the present and
future. Instead of mourning the
