Serious Riot in Mobile.

MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 6.-Last night a
serious riot occurred in this city, at an
outdoor Republican meeting to cele-
brate the triumph of the Republican
candidate for this Congressional Dis
trict The meeting was large one,
and was composed exclusively of ne
groes, except few white leaders. AT
8 o'clock, tar-barrels were lighted, and
the negroes began to flock in until they
swelled into crowd of 1000 or 1,500.
Many came with guns; most all with
concealed arms-pistols, knives, and
razors. Nothing occurred to disturb
the harmony Of the meeting, except
the infiam matory talk of some Of the
speakers, until about 10 o'clock, when
a jocose dispute between two citizens
Oh a subject entirely foreign to politics
or the meeting, attracted some atten-
ton, and in pressing up to see what it
was about, a white man accidentally
trod on the foot of negro. Just as
the alteration about this was settled,
a pistol shot was heard, and this was
the signal for n general firing. The
whole crowd dispersed Immediately. A
detachment of United States troops
were stationed at the guard-house at
the request of the Mayor, in anticipa-
ton OF trouble They took no part in
the fray, except to march uptown to
look after and put a stopto some firing.
It is not known who fired the first shot;
it was the neutral result of the excite
ment. Three negroes were killed out
right, and five were wounded. Four
police officers and three other white
men were wounded.

Everything wentlovely along till yes
terday, when in transferring what the
wheelwright had purchased for boiled
oil, it was discovered to be nothing
more nor less than nine gallons and Il
half of water, with quart of billed
oil' floating around on the surface. The
wheelwright did not indulge in many
idle words, nor very strong language,
but we will guarantee to say that had
that sharper been within convenient
reach of the old mans boot he would
have found himself "set up" in the lea
Their business The "goak was more
than poor hannah nature could stand
and it is 10 wonder that the old gentle
man gave vent to his outraged feelings
Some inquiry was made for the rascal,
but he has evidently left the city, as no.
thing can be learned of his whereabouts
The wheelwright, therefore, has no nj
tentative but TO congratulate himself on
the possession of two old tin cans and
two quarts OF oil, worth, perhaps, one
dollar but for which he paid a villain,
the sum of ten dollars.
MORAL -Patronize your own towns
men, even though you are compelled
to pay trife more-it will pay you
better in the LONG RUN.

geay~ An old Irish woman, named
Ellen Preed, who hast lost the sight of
one eye, has been lounging about the
depot for week past-greatly to the
ANNOYANCE of Mr.. James CLASSIFY, the
railroad Waterman. She says her home
is in Market street, Philadelphia, and
that her husband, when he died, left
her a legacy of the passenger cars on
the New Jersey railroad, and she had
visited this city, for the purpose of col
Letting the cars together. She says
she left Philadelphia on Monday last,
stopping at New Brunswick on Tues
day, with one Medley Mooney. On be-
ing asked by the Chief how she be
came blind, she replied, that she lost
her eye, while campaigning i'll the Mex
lean war. Mr.. CLASSIFY, whom she
pronounces very fine man, has sent
her to Newark, New Brunswick and
Railway, during the week, but she as
speedily returns. She was packed of
again this morning, and it is to be
hoped that she will make herself scarce
in the future.

About s o'clock on Thursday even
ing the citizens of Port Jervis were
startled by the intelligence that one Of
the oldest and most respected business
men of the village, Mr.. Alexander
Swinton, had been shot dead by War
rem Fellows, q peddler who for many
years has traversed that section of the
country, and whose recklessness and
violence when under the influence Of
liquor are proverbial. An eager and
excited crowd focked TO the scene of
the ARRAY, and found that the worst re-
ports were realized, and that the muir
derer had himself been nearly sent to
his final account by a son of the muir
dered man. Mr. Swinton was 81 years
of age, native of Scotland, and the
head of the well-known firm of Swinton
& Sons, hardware dealers on Front
street. He leaves a large family, but
has no wife living. Warren Fellows is
a peddler of cigars and other articles,
and has driven wagon round this part
of the country for many years. He is
very generally known throughout a
large section of country, and was con-
sidered &c clever fellow" except when
intoxicated, when his turbulence had
led linn into many alterations at DIFF
ferent times and places. He is a ma
tive of Vermont, about 40 years of age,
and has resided in this place from Il
to Is years.

ANOTHER DoDGE.-A stranger, q dry
or two ago, called on wheelwright, do
ing business in Spring street, and after
exhibiting small quantity of boiled
oil, offered to sell any quantity at a
price very much lower than the same
could be purchased at the stores The
wheelwright considered well the in
ducements offered, and reluctantly gay Q
an order for ten gallons. The dealer
inquired whether the wheelwright did
not own horse and wagon which he
might borrow in order to go the Port
for the oil, and received negative an
swer, after which he del arted, saying
he supposed he would have 10 Difficult
ty in bringing the oil up on II horse-ca
After an absence of an hour, the fellow
returned to the shop, staggering under
the weight. The old wheelwright after
satisfying himself that the caus con
tanned the quantity represented, HAND
ed the fellow something less than SO,
which was pocketed, when he turned
to bid the wheelwright Every good
day" The thought recurring to the
purchaser that he had nothing whereit
he could transfer the oil, the dealer
begged that he would give himself Nc
uneasiness, as he would keep the
cans until such time as it might be con
venient for him to empty them, when
he would call and get them, sayil 6
which, he took his departnre-the ola
