RIOT ES ATLANTA,

There was a bloody and fatal not at
Atlanta. Ca, on the 9Th inst. 1t appears
that the police had arrested a negro man
for voting twice ia the municipal election
that day. and an attempt was made to
rescue him. The police arrested white
man who headed the rioters, when they
were saluted by a shower of stones. The
police replied with vollcy from their re-
volycrs. The Atlanta N61O Era says:
ssTbe news of the fracas had collected
several hundred people, the majority OF
whom were col0rcd, and when the firing
took place a gfpcral skedaddle took place.
Women screamed, men shouted, pistols
discharged a fusilade, the like OF which
hiss not been heard since war times, and
everybody possessed Of legs not immc-
diaiely engaged Fan. Ia the general re-
treat. we saw two men abruptly DIS
nopntcd. two drays broken up, a carriage
broken TO pieces by the horses running
aao;nst Iamp-post, all Of which created
. scey,e which would battle the pen of
n;cLens 10 describe. |, would have been
indjcrons had it not been fatal. ~
The United 5 ates troops were called
upon, but the riot was qncllcd before
thew reached the scene of the disturbance.
An old and inoffenslve negro man was
Killed by a stray shot, and two white
men and three negroes were wounded.

The NeaO Era says that considering .nc
amount of firing, it is very remarkable
that more were not hit. Fhat paper adds'
seTbis lamentable cirElmstance is due

cannot but defend the ACTON Oh tne

LAwLESSNESs AND CRIME

Mr.. j. W. Downcs, editor of the Waco
(Tcxas) Examiner, writing to his paper
from New York a few weeks ago, says:
"Tslk of Texas as the land of lawless-
ness and Crimen There is more of it
here every day than in Texas in a month
the difference being that here it is 50
common as to scarcely attract notice al
all, while there it is heralded abroad over
the world for political effect; that here
il is so painted and gilded as 10 make vice
appear almost virtue, while there ii is
shown up in all its naked deformity.n
There is rot a doubt but there is as
much lawlcssness and crime in the
"Oysl" States to day as there is in the
Southern States. But at present Congress
does not dare to take hold of any Of those
States to reconstruct them, on the oslcnsi-
bic ground of this lawlessneSs, but really
because their people may have elected
Democratic State officers and Legisla
lures. II is a remarkable fact that we
never hear Of Icconsuucting a South
EN- Stale TN il it has passed under
the control of the Democrats. There is
nAt a State in the South where there is
anything like as much lawlessness; where
outIaees are committed so frequently and
50 boldly, as in South Carolina, where
perhaps Dineteen-twcntieths of the civil
officers are Radicals, and yet we never
hear one word uttered in favor of recon
structing that State. The negro militia
acting under the orders of Gov. Scott,
are creating a reign of terror in many Of
the counties in that Stste, but this does
not attract the attention of the authorities
at Washington. Negro Ku kluX ard
marauders have rendered life and proper
ty insecure in many portions of that
State, but who has ever heard Of l}adi-
cal asking the Reconstruction Committee
of Congress to take South Carolina in
hands, Could these things occur in Dcm-
ocratic Tennessee or Democratic Ken
lucky without producing a howl on thc
pat of the loyal citizens that would
almost shake the government to its
foundations? Louisiana is another State
in which lawlcssness appears 10 he the
rule, if We accept the testimony Of certain
Radical journals, but nothing is said
about kicking Gov. Yarmouth AMI his
Legislature out CT Office. and turning the
State over to the mercy of a military sa-
trap. Florida was smother State ia which
outragcs were reported to he committed
almost daily, but the carpet baggers had
complete control of tina State, snl so
nothing vas said about recOnstructing it.
Now that the people have elected a De
mocratic Legislature and member of Con-
gress. we shall probably heaI of efforts
being made to reconstruct The State, inst
as was the case in Tennessee after the
August election in 1863. Democratic
success in any Southern State is the sig
nal for demand by the dcl,aIcd Radicals
for reconstruction. II is wonderful how
soon after defeat the Radicals discover
that reconstruction is the ouly remedy for
disorders which attract but a passing re-
mark in the NOrIhcrn States.
