y Near the corner Of Ninth street on Main
this turbulent crowd. was attacked sby a
squad OF police numbering geyer or eight,
under Captain White A few In the 'front.'
ranks of the rioters were! cluhhed. The
mass behind pushing to the frontsaw them
selves face to face with the resolute officers
Of the law, and retreated. Sergeant w bit-s
lock, from the + 'irst Station-H House, 'aiso1
came to the sceneEwith a small squad and
helped Captain White to, disperse the dar-
kes. "A panic soon seized upon them,
Those most prominent in disturbing the
peace were most conspicuous for the cels-
rity Of their retreat, and only few arrests
could be made. .i:.1isa-.,..'I &; ii,
When it is considered that in the two or
three DAYS of excitement the whites made
no offensive demonstrations towards the
blacks, and INDUCED In, no offensive exulta-
tion, this conduct Of the celored people
participating in this affair is particularly re-
prehensible. The colored people generally
have for years been 30 well behaved here,
and have acquired so fine record for good
behavior, they ought to stamp with
their strong condemnation their reprehensi-
BILE conduct. ss.
INCIDENTS OF TIE TROUBLE.
A young lady daughter OF. Judge CO.,
while coming down Eighth street going to:
the Mozart musicale, was so frightened by
the mob which passed at that time that she!
had to be taken into Judge Meredith's. i.
r. t. Reynolds was standing in the door
at Christian & Whites store as the crowd
passed, and was struck on the arm with
brick. \. - ,.a .
The demonstrations about :Davenport's
Hotel were such as to threaten serious
breach of the peace. One negro was ar
rested there. A policeman was forced to
draw his pistol upon refractory party, but
fortunately was not compelled to use it.
THE HOUSE OF A MINISTER ATTACKED. .
Rev. J. W. Dungee, a colored minister,
formerly slave, q man OF considerable ac-
quirement and undoubted honesty OF pur-
pose, throughout the presidential canvass
gave to the cause of Tilden and Hendricks
his best efforts. He believed that the break
ing OF the race-line would be promotive Of
good to his race, and he thought it his duty
to say so on every possible occasion and in
all sections Of the State. He was met with
every encouragement from his own race,
with here and there an honorable exception.
His Sunday-school, once large and flourish
ing, dwiudled down to few dozen. His
congregation almost deserted him. He was
several, times assaulted, and his family have
undergone all sorts of insults from people
OF their own race. On one occasion party
of women were before the Police Court for
disturbing them. The church building was
several times threatened.
Mr.. Dungee has stood up bravely, and
had the right to expect that with the end OF
the canvass persecution would cease and he
and his left in peace. Yesterday evening,
however, mob Of about hundred col
lected around his house, which is on Sey-
enth street, Navy Hill, and smashed in the
window-panes and frightened the women
folks nearly to death by their fierce cries
and savage demonstrations.
Mr.. Dungee was from home at the time.
He had to claim the protection OF the police.
All night policeman stood guard before
his house. Mr.. Dungee, having business
with this office, came down last night under
the protection OF policeman. In their
present temper the negroes would as soon
murder him as not, and all because he has
dared to exercise his right as freeman.
ARMED NEGROES.
It is no pleasure to speak Of the eXcesses
of the negroes. Well would it be il the
better class of them would stamp out such
doings as those of yesterday evening. But it
really seems that II not approved they are
at least not discountenanced. .., ,g.;.
Two negro men were before the Police
Court yesterday morning charged with car
rying concealed weapons. They were az
rested in front OF the Dispatch Office, after
having made threatening demonstrations,
and it was admitted on the part Of one that
he had armed :"to protect himself ~ at the
election. ,.-.f, glaa-. f.E..., -.
Yesterday evening Policemen Hulcher
and Charter arrested Nat. White near the
express-ofice for putting on Warllke airs.
He had double-barrelled shotgun and a
Colts revolver. -Four chambers OF the latter
were empty, and evidently but recently dis
charged, and one was loaded. White was
lodged in the Second station-house. Police
man Charter recognized the pistol as one he
lost many months ago.. ...~
...- ALL DOUBT REMOVED.
AS large as usual, and more eager than
ever, If possible, was the crowd that stood
before the Dispatch building last night.
The disturbance that happily ended With
out loss of life was warmly discussed, and
for time claimed great attention; but as
the bulletins we displayed each hour gave
better and better news, the disturbance was
forgotten. .E'.t..H -.
Cheer upon cheer, time after time, was
given. After three days of hurrahing "the
boys" were still in voice, and the sound OF
their ioyous cheers was heard a mile and
half away. All that any one had to do was
to get up and say, "Three cheers for Til
den " and the cheers would be given. p

About II O'Clock small band Of music
was obtained and brought to the Dispatch
corner. Thence the band and a good por-
ton of the crowd proceeded to eX-Mayor
Keiley's residence. That eloquent gentle
man was called out and made to speak.
His words were bright and cheerful
Just suited to his glad audience and to the
happy occasion---and he was applauded to
the echo. ,.r~l,..,4.,,..,
at midnight the, band and numerous fol-
lowers were moving westward. Perhaps
the break Of day found them in the distant
suburbs celebrating the new era OF peace
and goodwill.
