THE RIOT IN ARMSTRONG The
old saying that curses like chickens,
come home to roost," appears to
have found veri6cation in the riot
in Armstrong Township. Persons
whose memories are good will perhaps
reeollect that in the year 1868 Mr.
Jacob Bixler, of Armstrong Town
ship, engaged several colored men to
work in his harvest field, when Geo.
Finch, at the head of number of the
same kind Of men who composed
Thursdays mob, called on Mr.. Bixler
and demanded that the negroes should
be sent away, threatening violence as
the alternative, and that after having
thus acted the persons engaged in the
acts caused Mr.. Bixler to be prosecuted
for introducing negroes into the State
in violation of law.
Is it not little remarkable that
Mr.. Finch can see the injustice of a
proceeding he justified seven years
ago?

Of tobacco inside of one year has new

result, but the chief one, We have
no doubt, is, that MANY Of the lead
ing business men Of St. Louis have
made energetic efforts recently 70
Increase their trade in grain. The
success which they have met with
will have the effect, in all pFoba-
bility, of encouraging them to make
further and stronger exeTtiOns to
secure more Of the grain trade Of
the Mississippi Valley. Should they
do 90, they will have some impoF-
tant advantages In their favor that
we're not fully and satisfactorily
developed before now. In the fret
place It has been ascertained by
actual shipments that grain can be
sent abroad OF less cost by the
river route to tide.water, than
by rail, and this being the case now,
It Is not unreasonable to assume
that this difference In shipping
charges will be still more In favor
Ofthe first mentioned route as ship
ping facilities are increased aud
certainly everything at present
points to that result. Then, the up.
prehensions which were very gem
orally entertained as to the pracli-
Cability of sending grain to Europe
by the New Orleans route during
the summer months, and landing II
there In good condition have been
completely dispelled by the sue
cess which attended shipments made
in the warm season through the
Gulf. This last consideration has
heretofore been the greatest draw
back to shipments Of grain from
this port, although buyers, as a gen
eral thing could ship at lower rateI
Of freight in the early summeI
months than In the winter season
yet their feare as to the damagI
their grain might receive, deferred
them from purchasing.--[N y
