A Riot in RnrllcAier. N. Y.

The excitement over the outrage com mitted upon the little white girl by n negro named Howard at Rochester N. Y. was very great. A mob of four or five hundred people went to the jail, and at tempted to break in and kill the prisoner. They were Ioiled by the Sheriff and Po- lice. The military assembled for the protection of the jlil.
 Attacks were made by rou9hs and others on unoffending negroes who ap- pearetl in the streets. The Sheriff and his aids stood firm and determined to uphold the laws.
 While the crowd was yelling at the corner of Court and Exchange streets, the military fired volley, killing two men and wounding one man and one boy. The names of the killed are John Filter, a railroad carman, and Henry Merlow. John Hilbert was shot through the calf of the leg. The name oe the boy has not been learned. He was hit in the shoul- der. The excitement was great.
 The crowd said it was not necessary to fire, while the military say that they were compelled to fire to protect them selves, as they were being pelted with stones. An account of the difficulty is thus given by an eyewitness, Policeman Branch
 The squad of military were lined across the west end of the bridge, facing Exchange street. A man stepped up to Policeman Branch, and said that some boys, 9 few feet off, were picking up stones. The officer drove them away At the same instant the word "forwar.t" was given by the officer in command of the squad, and he pushed the policeman aside. The shots were fired at this time The men shot Were standing in Exchange street, and had not participated with the mob. Filter was a highly respectable and influential citizen. He lived but few moments after heinz taken into a saloon near by.
 It is reported that woman was shot but it IS not yetcontrmed. The feeling again>t the military is intense. The police are being drawn in from the outer districts of the city and dispatche to the jail It. Is f, ared that more blood will be shed before morning. The colored peo- pie fed to their houses to hide, as it was not deemed safe for them to be seen in the streets.
 The body of John Eiter has inst been taken to the home of the deceased On being deposited in the wagon loud ex- pres>ions of indignation was made by the spectators. Henry Merlow wes go- ing to his home on Bartlett street. The hall entered his stomach and a large pool of blood was on the walk where he fell He vas an in offensive man and had talk en no part in the disturbances. John Moan was shot through the right lung. and was conveyed to the St. Mary Hos pital. He is not expected to live. A cartman named Elias Swanton is also re- portd. He was shot in the arm and received bayonet wound in the back Louis Ramp was shot through the thigh and lett arm. The feeling of indigna. tion against the military was very great.

The Presidential Election,

Crumbs OF Comfort.

There has been no time, until now,
within the last twelve years, when the
Tribune was not supposed to keep, for
the benefit of the idle aud incapable, q
sort of federal employment agency,
established to get places ulder govern
ment for those who were indi5pOsed to
work for their living. Any man who
had ever voted the republican ticket
believed that it was the duty aud the
privilege Of the editor of this paper to
get him place in the custom house.
Every red-nosed politician who had
cheated at the caucus and fought at the
polls, looked to the editor of the T.fb.
,ule to secure his appointment as gau.
ger, or rs army chaplain, or fs minister
to France. Every campaign orator came
upon us after the battle was over for a
recommendation as secretary of the
treasury or the loan of half a dollar.
If one of our party had an interest
pending at Washington the editor of
the Tribune was telegraphed in frantic
haste to come to the capitol, save this
bill, crush that one, promote one project
or stop another. He was TO be every
body's friend, with nothing to do but
to take care Of other folks business,
sign papers, write letters, and ask ia.
vors for them, and to get no thanks for
it either. Fouf-fifths of these people
were sent away without what they
xrvot O1 fn hr 1tr tex1, fx,,a
abusive enemies it was the worry Of
life to try to crafty one demand in a
dozen for the other fifth.
The man with two wooden legs con
graduated himself that he could never
be troubled with cold feet. 1t is q
source of profound satisfaction to us
that office seekers will keep aloof from
defeated candidate who has not influ-
ence enough at Washington or Albany
to get a sweeper appointed under the
sergeant alarms, or a deputy sub
assistant temporary clerk into the paste
pot section of the folding room. at
last we shall be let alone to mind our
own affairs and manage our own news
paper, without being called fside every
hour to help lazy people whom we
don't know and TO spend our strength
in efforts that only benefit people who
don't deserve assistance. At last we
shall keep Cur Office clear of blather-
sixties and political beggars, and 60
about our daily work with the satisfac-
ton of knowing that mt tbe most
credulous of place hunters will sus.
pect us of having any credit with the
appointing powers. That is one of the
results of Tuesdays election for which
we own ourselvC7 profoundly grateful.

The above letter not only shows up
tho corruption Of our legislature in its
true light, but il unmasks one Of those
who took great pains to conceal his con-
nccticn with this gang Of plunderers.-
AS Josephs has just been re elected to
the legislature by tho withdrawal of the
regular Republican candidate and the
concentration OF Republican votes upon
him, he will no doubt he continued in
the profitable position of Treasurer of
the Legislative Ring. Doubtless other
opportunities will be presented for pro-
venting the calling of tho ayes aud nays
when paying bills arc to be pat through
for the benefit of tho Ring, aud we may
expect to see Mr.. J0seph5 called to the
chair during the coming s5sion.
One thing must and will be done. Mr..
Josephs must be summarily expelled
from the caucus of fDamOcrdtic m5mber5
ifhe dare to enter the room where it is
being held. Tho above lettor furnishes
sufficient ground for such action even if
he had not played the traitor at the re.
cent State election. lie is not flt TO be

cratic party, and no Democratic mem
ber of the legislature can associate with
him on terms Of equality without being
