its harmonic. The muscular, process
by which this transition is effected is
not clearly nude out, so that it can
not be determined whether all singers
are alike gifted with powers of head
singing equal to tho Tyrolese, or
whether Alpine melody grew out of
peculiar capabilities of Alpine throats.

RIoTING IN WAsluNGroN.- Wash.
inyton, June 1.-THE Radicals Carried
the municipal election here to-day
Their opponents made little contest,
and the polls were abandoned to the
negroes.
A very serious riot occurred in the
Second Ward. The negroes chased d
Conservative black man into house
and assailed the house. The Inmates
escaped to tho rear, aud the Conserva-
tive found refuge in the upper story.
The police surrounded the house,
brought tho Conservative down, form
q hollow square around him, and took
him to the polls, where he voted.
The mob now became furious, threw
a volley of stones and fired occasional |
pistols. Tho Chief of Police, having
his arm injured, ordered his men to
fire over the mob. This only inoreas-
ed the violence, and tho police then
fired into the mob killing one man
and wounding three. The mob then
fed.
Earlier in the day policeman was
cut with a razor and seriously beaten
in tho Sixth Ward.
A free fight, with several harmless
pistol shots, occurred in Seventh
Ward.
In the Second Ward, Julius Wal
lace (colored) was knocked from a
buggy and beaten for having scratched
his ticket. Timothy Rogers (colored)
was also badly beaten for voting the
Citizens Ticket.
The rioting was confined entirely
to the negroes, who showed no dispo.
sition to molest the whites. They
are drinking freely, however, tonight, !,
aud much apprehension is felt about
the preservation Of the peace.
The police behaved very we'll.
WASHINGTON, Juno Ito p. NJ
The turbulence seems subsiding. The
prompt action Of the police seems to
havo subdued the more violent, while
the orders to the marines to hold
themselves in readiness quiet the fears
of the people.
1t is just to say that no respectable
colored citizon of Washington parti.
oipated in or encouraged the violence.
TRADES Unions vs.. NRGRoEs The
negro policy of the Administration
promises to alienato all the Trades
Unions of the country, and to compel
them, in self-defence, to cast a solid
vote against the Radical party. The
attempt to force the colored printer
Douglass into Typographical Union
in this District will certainly be made.
The employment Of colored bricklay-
ers in the navy-yard will bring about
similar complication with regard to
tho bricklayers' association. Now,
tho members of these Trades Unions
do not, as arule, harbor ill.will TO-
ward the negro. They simply desire
to manage their own affairs in their
own way, and they do not relish the
idea of having tho negro forced upon
them. If the Government persists in
its present policy, as it probable will,
it may find these powerful trade 80
cietics arrayed as unit against IL in
future political contests. - Washimg.

The chances are at least even in
favor Of a general European oonvul-
sion and financial collapse before the
expiration of General Grants present
term Of Office. The remotest point in
the future to which we may count
upan peace is that point which will
mark the end of tho splendid reign Of
Napoleon the Third. After him, we

after Louis the Fifteenth comes the
deluge.
