SERIOUS RIOT.
A Procession OF OranGemen Set Upon
by MOb-seVersI PergODs In
jured with Stones and
Z Pistols.

LAWRENCE, MASS July y A seri-
| GUS riot occurred in this city O-night, re-
/ sulting from an attack made by mob
apOn the members Of a lodge of Orange
| men returning from celebrating the bat
lie Of the Boyne by picnic at Laurel
-5e9ve, four miles up the Merrimac river.
Orangemen from Lowell, Waburn, and
| other towns, participated at the picnic
which passed off quietly, and no trouble
was anticipated when they dispersed
for their return home. Though threats
had been made in the morning, and
some OF the men carried firearms in con-
sequence, about a dozen Orangemen
with ladies and children disembarked st
EIGHT o'clock in the evening, at the
steamer's landing on Water street, and
started to walk up town. A crowd of
several hundred Irish followed them,
shouting and jeering. Arrived in front
OF the Pacific mills, the crowd COM
meDced throwing stones. One lady was
struck three times and badly hurt
All t:se party were more or less
Injured by missiles thrown at them, Du.
ring baif-mile walk to the police sta
ton, whittier they went for protection,
four of the men had on regalia, which
particularly iDcensed the mob. One Of
the men was severely hurt about the
head and had the ssh torn from him.
Armed at the station word was sent the
mayor, who soon arrived at the scene
and undertook to dispense the mob of
men and boys but without avail. Cries
and jeers Of the mob drowned
his voice. The mayor, with
squad of police, started to
take the party through the crowd to
their homes. Essex street, through
which they had to pass, was at this time
filed for half a mile with the mob. A |
shower Of stones, bricks and missiles |
was hurled at the party as soon as it ap-
peared upon the street. With the ex- !
ception Of the mayor, every one Of the |
party was hurt. Policeman Gummel |
was knocked down and badly hurt. |
James SPARROW, who was endeav-
oripS to protect his broth |
er's wife, was knocked down, |
receiving terrible wound in the !
head from a brick. At the corner Of |
Union and Spring streets the mob made |
= furious onslaught on the party, when |
nearly all the police and Orangemen |
were knocked down. The latter, in self. |
defense, then drew revOlvers and began
firing upon the mob, who were shout
ing, "KilI the id Orangemenw
The firing quickly dispersed the mob,
who scattered in all directions. 1t is
impossible to learn the result of the
shooting. So far as known no one was
killed outright. Two men, one woman,
and a boy twelve years old were wound
ed-none seriously. OF the Orangemen
twelve were wounded by stones and
bricks, some Of them quite severely,
and four policemen were more or less
hurt.
The riot lasted two hours and half,
and extended over a route of mile
through the most thickly settled part of
the city. II is the first serious affair of
the kind that has occurred here since
1852, and is condemned on every hand
az most uDprOvoked. The courage and
pluck Of the mayor undoubtedly saved
anu lives

nation in chambers, that they nlgf4
return home TO attend to their crops.
General Maxwell answered that mile
age and fees wertI all he could pay, and
the district attorney would take his own
course in taking the testimony. 1t is
believed and hoped that the terrible
crime which has been charged to the
Mormon people for the past eighteen
years will be disprOven, or that the
guilty parties will be brought to justice.

from Washington or elsewhere. Refer

THE MEMPHIS CELEBRATION.
Comments OF the Louisville and Chi.
cRRO PRISE on abe CeJt d ration of the
Fourth OF JUIy I'm HomphIs.

The Louisville Courier Journal thus
comments on the manner in which the
Fourth ofJuly was celebrated in this city
by union Of whites and blacks: "That
was very neat little piece OF olive
branchism performed at negro Fourth
Of-July picnic near Memphis on Mon
day. The whole sable population had
turned out to celebrate the p!uming off the
American bird in l776, and the COM
mittee Of invitation sent Kindly bid
ding TO General n. B Forrest, General
Gideon J. Pillow, Colonel NJ. G.. Gala
way and several other gentlemen of
Caucasian descent. The ex-Confeder-
ates gladly accepted the invitation, and
upon arriving ut the grounds q cordial
and patriotic address of welcome was
delivered by prominent cOlored man.
General Forrest accepted it, and made
very clever speech, in which he testi-
fed his desire for full reconcil-
istion between the white and
cOlOred races of the south.
Further speeches We're made by Gen
eral Pillow and others, aid the chest of
feeling prevailed" These proceedings
must be especially nausesting to that
phase OF Rsdicalism represented by the
Chicago Inter Ocean and Senators
Morton and Logan. They would move
heaven and earth to prevent such cour-
tesies, and the fact that such concilia-
try talk and acts included the hated
+ 'rrest, as an agent, will make them
fairly weep with rage. Forrest, of all
men who espOused the southern side in
Inc late war, has been most abused and
vltupeTated. Black Douglass OF old
was be compared to; he was the 'old
man Of the mountain devouring men:
the MOloch, in whose fiery arms victims
were racked by. torments. The little
Memphis affair which we have sketched,
taken together with other recent utter |
ances OF the cOlored people in Wash |
lngtOu ana elsewhere, must suggest to |
the Radicals that they are losing their |
hold on the race; that the negroes are |
themselves removing the whiteWesh |
which conceals the rottenness Of the |
dominant party, and are thinking and |
acting for themselves. The Republicans |
may squirm and swear over such mani. !
festatioDs as that Of Memphis; but it re.
mains, like the Bunker Hill centennial,
one OF the hopeful signs of the times"
la commenting on the Memphis cele.
bration the Chicago Times saws:
1.-THE celebration in the city of Mem
Dhis Is the more remarkable because that
city was the headquarters OF the seces-
;ionists aud rebels of the State of Ten
lessee during the war, and of the mall
contents since the war for time. It can
scarcely fail to set precepent of great
value to the people of other portions of

The State tax for school purposes in
Missouri is seventeen cents on the hum
dred dollars worth Of property; in Hi
nois twenty cents, and in Tennessee
sixteen cents. New York expends
nine millions six hundred and seven
thousand nine hundred and sixty.three
dollars. In Ohio the average rate of
taxation (school levy in townships is
thirty cents on the hundred dollars. The
aYerave rate in separate districts 0ocaI
levy is sixty-one cents. The whole
amount expended in Ohio for public
schools is five millions three hundred
and fourteen thousand and ten dollars
per annum. In Illinois and in Indiana
the local levy is greater: than in Ohio.
We give these facts, and could add
many more, to show that Tennessee is
not burdened with taxation as much as
other States.

THE Kosciusko Central Star an
nounces the death OF Judge Samuel
Young, 8 native Of Ireland. 1t says the
deceased left home on the preceding day
TO attend Justices courts at Sails and
Newport, and was, to all appearances,
enjoying his usual good health. At the
lstter place, while he was outside the
courtroom talking to some friends, he
suddenly reeled and asked them to catch
him to prevent his falling. This they
aid, and they placed him upon a bed 10
8 room close by, Immediately sEmmon-
ing medical aid. All that could be done
for his relief was done, but without avail,
as the cold hand Of death was upon him.
He seems TO have been conscious for
some little time, and struggled greatly to
say something to his friend and brother

Another EIaTeup with the miners

louisville, PA, July 12-Since the
resumption took place there have been
signs Of discomfort among the miners in
The employ Of individual operators
against the ten per cent. reduction.
The men aver that q compromise would
DC more just TO all parties concerned.
Though dissstisfac ion among the men
mas existed in various parts OF the region
for some time, there was no strike inau.
guTated until to-day, when Il G miners
turned out at st. Clair to mr ], and ST
Vaudeville all the outside lsborers
struck. 1t was hoped that there would
be a compromise at st. Clair, but dis
patches from there tonight report that
the men will not go to work. The col
lieries at both places are owned and op.
erstet by individual enterprise, and give
employment to large number Of men
and boys.

THE LONG-RAEGERS.
GiIderSIeeve, of the Americas Team,
among the BFetOBs-COFFesPOnd-
encs with Reference to the
Proposed Decisive
Match.

LoSDoNSJuly IA correspondent
at Wimbledon ssys that after the receipt
of Colonel GildeTsleeve's declinstion OF
the invitation to the Americans to shoot
against picked eight, the council Of the
National rife association met and infor-
mally agreed that a match should be
arranged, if possible, on the terms at
first proposed. Major Muretts, Japan
csc totally ignorant Of the English lam
guage, is the best msrksman at VIM
bledon. He makes astonishing long
range shots.
Mr.. Parsons, of the National rifle as
ISOLATION, in letter says they resolved
that cups of the value Of one hundred
pounds should be given as individual
prizes, to be shot for by the Americans
and representatives Of the three British
Fights of 1874, on next Saturday, each
man to have twenty-five shots at one
thousand yards range. There will be q
special meeting Of the council Tuesday
to confirm this resolution. We have re-
solved to be prepared next year with
special team, ready to try conclusions
with any other nation, and we hope an
other gallant band Of Yankees will come
and give to, or take lesson from John
ny, Sandy and Paddy. They will have
q hearty welcome, fair field, and DO
favOrs.
Colonel Gi!dersleeve has officially re-
piled to the inquiry from the London
agent Of the Associated press that the
determination of the Americans not to
shoot in another match team on this
side of the Atlantic is final. He ssys
the members OF the team are now sepa-
rated and cannot be brought tC gether |
for any purpose before next week. Five |
or six Of them would probably be glad,
as individuals, to shoot at Wimbledon |
on Saturday next, if Lloyd's cup is Of |
fered for competition to all corners. Col |
onel Gildersleeve has written letter to |
Major Leech, rendering through him |
the thanks OF the American team to the |
lord mayor, the reception committee |
and the citizens generally of Dublin for |
their warm reception and Jealous and |
courteous attentions during the teams !
recent visit. \ similar letter of thanks |
and good wishes has also been sent to
the Belfast reception committee.
