part OF the Radicals, which occurred
there about IL O'Clock Monday. night
last: This was the occasion of the Cald-
we'll publication demonstration. There
was quite large procession. there being
ABOUT 100 negroes from the country in
.own Tor the occasion. In moving
through the streets the processionists
became quite excited by bad whiskev.
ana' as u consequence, were violently
turbulent. They amused themselves
while passing through the streets bv
throwing stones into the residences of
citizens. This was kept up without
check until when they were in the n,ioh.
oorhood OF what is known as the "helf.
way bridge" citizen becoming exasne.
rated by reason Of stones thrown into his
house. went to his front door and fred
into the crowd. This was the signal for
general lawlessness on the part of the
shrleklng. drunken rabble, who had
Already made the night hideous by their
yells and depredations. They returned
sue fre, and continued in violent disor-
der for some time. During the riot a
white man, by the name of Black. had
his head cut open with a stave; another
white man was shot in the leg, and q Mr..
Powell had his shoe torn of by q pistol
ball. There were but few white citizens
out at that hour, but these few, in de-.
tending themselves, fred back into the
crowd. and several negroes were wound
cd. No one. however, was killed. But
Tor the late hour. and the fact that most
OF the white citizens had retired, the
bloodshed would have been greater.
Before the riot terminated, the ne.
groes tore down the fences around the
residences OF DR.. 8. J. Hinsdale and

CARL ScHURz AND THE GERAlANs-How
TO FILL THE BLOODY CHAsM.-Senator
Scaurz delivered an able address, Satur-
aay night, to the Germans in Chicago.
Tue mass OF the German population be-
ing present. He reviewed the political
situatlon, showed that the mission of
!he Grant party was ended, stigmatized
!ts corruptions, its violations of law. and
It's unjust policy towards the South. and
maintained that the Liberal party was
now the only true party Of national re-
form and regeneration. In referring to
the South, he said:
III it is necessary to ill the bloody
chasm, as Mr.. Boutwell, said. before
peace can be restored, let Us throw the
Grant party into it, great applause,
with the thieves and those who have
violated the Constitution and the laws.
with those who have violated their off
cial oaths and prostituted their Office to
personal ends, with those who have held
the highest Offices in the Govern nent in
order ,1 to secure their personal welfare.
Wnat can induce us to reject the hand
extended by the Southern people?
Should we not take it and be glad? I
DO not deny that there have been Ku
Alu1 IN the South within the past Ave
years, put what is alleged OF them now
10 not true. What was done years ago
should 81, not be urged against them nov.
Ihe cry against them should cease. II
any Ku Klux did exist, they would cease
the moment an honest Government was
gwen to the South. The reasons the
trant men urge why we should sustain
the Administration are about these: Let
corruption alone-it is of no conse.
quence; let as reject these proefers Of the
South-they are not dictated by LOYALTY:
al We ask is, that you give us further
needs it."
In conclusion, the Senator addressed
himself particularly to his audience as
Germans. He said they had come to
this country to enjoy the privileges of
personal liberty, and they would never
submit to become the willing and base
instruments Of Capitalization. His heart
was gladdened by the position his fellow
countrymen had always retained. Tn
the war OF the rebellion they had fought
side by side with their native-born breth-
rem to preserve the Union, and now thev
again stood in the front of the pbalony
that sought to secure the BLESSINGS which
the bloody war had vouchsafud. They
were the sons OF freedom, and would not
become the willing tools of any despot.
no matter what pretext was alleged to
hold them in bondage.

noticed that five persons had died in the
family OF Mr.. Kurtz, Juniata County,

THE WHEAT MARKRT.-About 1000 brahels
OF wheat were on the market this morning but
had not been sold up to IL O'Clock. Owing TO the

THREE hours out of the twenty-four in which
