THE NEGRO RIOT IN DANvILLE VA

THE NEGRO RIOT IN DANVILLE VA,
Further particulars of the negro riot in
Danville, Va, on Saturday last, contained
in the Richmond papers of the Sd instant
disclose the following facts;
A young colored man was arrested on
suspicion of having stolen a pocket-book
containing money from his employer.
He confessed the theft, but failed TO give
up the money, and thereupon the police
men attempted to take him to jail. His
brother and sister resisted, by stander
was called upon, and with his aid the
accused was lodged in Jail, In the mean.
timeIa large crowd Of negroes collected,
and Notwithstanding the efforts of many
of the more iudicious of their own people
refused to dispense, and clamored for the
release Of the prisoner, and that the man
who aided in his arrest should be incar-
cerated with him. The Mayor command.
ed the crowd to dispersc, and when they
refused, ordered the police to collect force
and dispense it. The police were unable
TO do so, and called upon the militia a
company known as the Danvlle Grays.
This seemed to greatly exasperate the
negroes, and they took up stones and
made violent and boisterous demonstra-
tons. The militia company charged the
mob with The bayonet, and was received
with a vollcy Of stones which placed
several men horsdH combat. The mob +,
however at once broke and ran in all
directions. Several were pricked with
bayonets. A dispatch dated on the eve
ming Of the "a instant states that none Of
the militia or mob were dangerously
wounded. The town was quiet, though
excited.

age Of the country at the full value prescribed by
law. As soon as any coins paid into the Treasury
are found to be light weight they are TO be
recoined. 1t IS one of the results OF our
paper money system that the proper attention
has not been given to, our coinage Hence
have originated the present difficulties which de-
mand Mr.. B0utwes prompt attention, and win
probably be satisfactorily adjusted during the COM
ing week. Some unnecessary stress has been laid
on the TACT that the government derives adyan-
tage from the holding OF these gold deposits, aud
that as the depositor IS the person Obliged
he ought not to complain OF the inconvenience
which Is now under discussion. II true. this argu-
ment Is valid against the policy OF passing
such law as that OF the Sd or March, 1863,
which authorizes the gold notes, but IT Is or
no force TO impair contract made under protection
OF the law, or TO release the Treasury from It's obi
cations TO pay on demand in coined dollars or full
weight any note II may issue. Surely our currency
Is sufficiently anomalous already. Our laws author
lie four different kinds OF money, each Of which IS
legal tender:First, gold CON- which Is the standard
currency OF the c0untry second, silver coin, which
Is worth four or five per cent less than god tnird,
greenback5 which are worth less still; and lastly,
national bank notes, which are often at discount
below greenDaCkS.

THE TREATY AND THE FIsHERMEN.-The Cape
Ann (Mass.) Advertiser comes out very strongly
against the treaty, the grounds that the fishing
interests are sacrificed. u says:-l'y providing
free MAJ ket for the provincial fishermen we simply
transfer the Isning business 10 the hands or
foreigners. and punish our own fishermen for COM
planning when they have been maltreated by Cana
dian officials. Whatever may be the interests OF
fish SPECTATORS the producing element will be- by
such treaty, sacrificed. The expense OF materials
i'm the construction OF vessels or manning and
fitting them, costs far more on the American than
on the Canadian side OF the line, caused In great
degree by protective tariffs; consequently, instead
OF fishermen nock,ng from the maritime provinces
to man our vessels and become citizens we shall
md American capital employing these men at their
own ports and gradually sapping tue foundations OF
fisherman, in his soft wood schooner, but nj less
than one-haf the cost OF the American; the ish at
his own doors, with light taxation and 1Iee salt
and the great American market free VIII have such
decided advantages to defy competition. That
the United states Will abandon her marine interests
and that england will by every means foster hers
is apparent in case this treaty IS adopted.

How the Party Amused Themselves After tho
Fight Was Over.

(From the Buffalo Courier, May 1871
The scenes while the roughs were embarKlng after
the fight mad been broken up are worthy OF an ex
tended description. At least thousand "lellOws
OF the baser sortn spent the greater part Of the
afternoon at the mouth Of Hay Creek. This empties
into the lake through gulcy the banks on each
side being about forty feet high. and 1t be ina
eined by those who have any acquaintance with the
gentry congregated there, tnat considerable
roughness was lndulgcd in. IL took the form OF
'skyarklDg." manly but the play was Of O nature
ap preaching the serious number OF kegs OF lager
beer, which some enterprisng geniuses had carried
to the scene OF the fight, were brought back
path leading down the gully they were
set rolling, and acquired considerable velocity be-
fore they reached the bottom. AS they came spin.
nlng through the crowd many man was bOwled
down unawares but such little accidents as these
considered part OF the fun and, in iact 1t be.
came funny tha:, alter the contents OF some OF
the kegs had got INTO the heads or the leading
r0ughs other kegs carried up the side hill and
sent down for sport INTO the crowd. Late In the
afternoon 1t was necessary to keep sharp eye out
for these prOjectiles. Colonel Tsdale was BOWED
down by one OF them, and while down relieved Of
some or HIS portable property, and the melancholy
part OF the story Is that IL was done on purpose
still worse ndgnity than this was put upon him by
OF the roughs. who snatChed his SWORD rom its
seabar,l and threw 1t into the lake, where this SYM
Dol OF the authority which put a stop TO the fight
now reposes.
We learn that during the passage back to Erie the
majority or those outside the thieves rings were
gone through with.
