Return Of Secretary Rawlins.
The presence OF Secretary Rawlins at his desk al
the War Department this morning renewed some
what the great anxiety which has been manifested

the large reduction Of the force but the Secretary

ness which had accumulated during his short alb
sence and no further action has been taken upor

Injustice 10 Member of the British Legation
Notwithstanding the impression which appears to
have been created by the letter Of Senator Crime:
and the reported conversation OF Reverdy Johnson
that Mr.. Howard, OF the British legation had made
some free remarks relative to the counterbalancing
claims OF Great Britain, 1t has transpired that the
latter gentleman was unJustly represented,
he not having expressed any opinion on
the subject. 1t Is understood that the
remarks attributed to Mr.. Howard were
playfully made by another gentleman in the
presence OF Mr.. Sumner who rather ungenerousy
treasured them up for available use ut the moment
when the treaty was under consideration in Senate
executive session. Mr.. sumner is not esteemed
over scrupulous in magnifying trivial events into
matters OF importance when point can be gained.
Negroes rs Citizens-The Election Riots De.
Tended by ColOred Republicans-Death TO
COlOred Democrats.
The negroes OF the Second ward OF this city are
not disposed to condemn their brethren who got up
the riot at the recent election. At meeting OF the
republican club OF that ward, COMPOSED mostly OF
negroes, n white man offered the following resolu-
ton on the subject
Resolved, That disgraceful scenes having occurred
at some OF the voting precincts OF TINS ward at the
recent election, well nign resulting in fearful aud

OF the persons who instigatei and OF the meas
uTes that led 10 them: that those who forciby
or control the exercise of the elective franchise
seIiconstltuted despos, &c.
This fell ike bombshell upon the meeting and
after an excited discussion, during which the ne
groes threatened to kill those of their race who
voted the democratic ticket the resolution was sum-
marty laid on the table. The negroes not only de-
tended the conduct of the rioters but said 1t would
be repeated should provocation be given. Finally
the following was adopted:-
Resolved. That TINS body laments the riotous am
cultes which furnished tile dec ded victory In the
late election, and sincerely hopes that necessity VIII
