1t was the settled resolve of the whites
that the colOred Democrats should have an
other meeting to night, and if they were
again mOlested by the mob, the rioters
should not again be victorious.
The Republican negroes, however, were
elated at their success and made NO secret
of their intention to attack the Democratic
negroes, and all night long there seemed to
be every probability of a serious conflict.
The cOlored Democratic meeting was held
at Hibernian Hall under the protection of
about 1000 armed whites. No attempt at .
disturbance was made.
The colored Republicans confined their
demonstrations to roaming streets in tur-
bulent crowds, firing pistols and muskets.
At this hour, ll:30 P. NJ, there has been no
serious collision, though armed crowds OF
blacks and whites are gathered at various
points, and the city continues in very ex-
cited condition. Buckner, one of the whites
wounded last night, died this evening.
All night the colored militia and white
clubs remained at their places of rendez-
vous under arms, but the night were away
without any serious collieOn.
A party of passing blacks fired into the
armOry windows of the Montgomery
Guards. The fire was returned, wounding
one Of the blacks. Excepting this and one
or two other minor disturbances, the
public feeling continues one of deep un-
easiness.
The blacks talk Of having torchlight
procession tonight. Efforts are being made
to prevent it, as trouble will probably grow
out of it.
The Strike In the Rice swamps.
BY the Intervention of Congressman
