oMoRME, Augusta 6.-Last night, q Sc
rious riot occurred in the city, beginning
at an outdoor radical meeting over the
triumph OF the radical candidate for this
Congressional District. The meeting
was large ohe, and an present negroes,
excepk Q few white leaders. During the
whole pf yesterday, rumors were in cir
culatfon thai the negroes were very much
excitedpo defiant and threatening, and
meant TO burn the Democratic candidate
for Copgres9 An efBgy. Several. citizens
called on the Mayor and some of the
radical leaders, and advisad them that it
would be better to postpone the meeting,
for the ef1gy was carried out, the white
people could not be restrained from an
force. It was thought that these repre-
sentations had the desired effect. and
there would be no meeting. Ats o'clock.
however,, the Tar baz4els were liohted
and the negroes Began to flock in. .7untii
they swelled into, q crowd of 1000 or
l,5gQ, Many came with guns, and most
all OF them with concealed arms, such as
pistols, knives and razors. Nothing oc-
Cured TO disturb the harmony Of the
meeting, except the inhammatory talk of
the carpet-bag speakers, until about 10
O'Clock, when iocose dispute between
two. citizens on q subject entirely foreign
to politics or the meeting attracted some
attention, and in pressing up to see what
it was about, white man accidentally
stepped upon the foot of a colored man.
just as the difficulty about this was
settled, a pistol shot was heard, and this
was the signal for general firing. The
whole crowd dispersed Immediately, and
in ten minutes n dead quiet reigned,
broken only by the tread of white pa
trolls. 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 up town to look
after and put stop to firing. 1t is not
known who fired the first shot. It was
the natural result of the excitement.
Ihere were not over 100. whites as look
ers on. The casualties were small, con-
sidering the number Of shots and the
close quarters. Many shots must have
been shot in the air. Three negroes
were killed outright and four police
officers were wounded. Five negroes
and three white men were also wounded.
