CHARLESTON, s. c., Sept. IA serious
riot occurred late last night, growing out
of street attack by colored Republicans
upon some colored men who have been TAX
ing conspicuous part in the Democratic
canvass.
A small body of whites endeavored to de-
fend the Democratic negroes, but were over
powered by numbers of rioters. After a
severe fight, in which pistols were freely
used on both sides, the rioters held King
street, the main thoroughfare, from mid
night until sunrise, breaking windows, rob-
bing stores, and attacking and betting in
discriminatory every white man who showed
his face. A large number Of persons were
injured, mostly whites. Several of those
shot are in critical condition. Intense ex.
element prevails, the general feeling being
that the trouble is not yet over.
The riotous proceedings of the rice field
strikers on the Combahee have been re-
newed, and the situation is regarded as
serious.

Tne City Bank Makes an Assignment.
BY Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Sebt. 7.-This morning
considerable excitement was created In this
city by the announcement that the City Bank
had made an assignment. The following
card was posted or the door:
"The City Bank has this day made vol
untary assignment to Hon. Francis Jordan
and DR.. George W. Porter, for the benefit
of its creditors, in the hope of paying in
full"
The immediate cause eff the suspension,
is it is understood, was the extensive pur-
chase of lumber and depreciation OF its
value. The bank, it appears, has been strug-
CLING for some time against adverse circum-
stances, ard the assignment is made with
the hope that all the creditors should be
protected The Vice-President states that,
as near as he can tell, the liabilities areS35O,
600. and he thinks the assets will entirely
cover that amount. The majority of the
depositors are laboring men and women.

THE DEsIRE FOR PEACE.

A Settlement by AFmistlce or Confer
ence Considsred-The Position Of
Russla.
BY Associated Press. @
LONDON, Sept. THE "Times" VI
emma correspondent, discussing he negotia-
tions between the powers, says with those
who have been and still are for an armis-
itce, the idea of Conference for the reeu-
lation Of all pending questions, is gaining
ground more and more. The idea was first
started by France, and seems to find support
with Italy and Russia. The latter, however,
not wishing to take tie initiative. Those
who are for taking in hand peace prelimina-
ries simultaneously with an armistice, do
not encourage the idea of conference,
which is likely to delay instead of expediate
a settlement, on account of the difficulty In
making programme for such conference.
The fixing of that programme would, they
think, take more time than an agreement
on the general principles of pacifcation, the
details of which be easily settled by the am
bassadors in Constantinople in concord with
the porte.
In the face of the many difficulties which,
pacification may yet present reassuring
thing is the unanimous wish of all the pow
ers for peace, and therefore, sincere de-
sire to avoid anything which lead to COM
plications. As sign of this communica-
tion made by Prince Gortschakof at War
saw, is making the round of diplomatic
circles. 1t was made in way which would
show 1t was meant to become known, and
is reported as follows:
Russia wants as yet rest for number of
years and then besides the Emperor is deci-
ded to have peace, so am I, and there is
very good ground to suppose the other
powers are equally desirous to have 1t, at
least to Judge by their assurances We may
reckon their hearty cooperation with
us in this direction

The day before he left HorsemongerLa zane
Jail, ex-Colonel Baker is said to have re-
ceived visit in person from the Prince of
Wales. Prior to the well-known railway
incident, says an English journal, the Prince
greatly appreciated Colonel Bakers abili-
ties, and was warmly attached to him. He
felt too, as acutely as true friend could, a
genuine regret for the Colonels serious
misbenaviour, and was not little embar-
rassen as to how he should regard 1t.

Yesterday Mr.. Christian K. Ross called at

q conference with Superintendent Walling
In regard to visit he had just paid to
Three Rivers, Mich. The Telegraph" of .
recent date contained dispatches ofthe find
ing of this child. According to Mr.. Ross,
he received last week letter from Three
Rivers inclosing the portrait OF child tnat
closely resembled his son Charlie, Dut MRS.
Ross on seeing the portrait was painlully
impressed with the idea that 1t was that OF
her missing boy, and became so nervous ana
excited that at her request Mr.. Ross started
for Michigan. Arrived at Three Rtvers, ,Mr.
Ross found the town in state Of great ex-
citement, and found some difficulty IN
getting to hotel. He then communicated
with the person who sent the portrait, and
q boy was produced who, although resem.
bling the missing boy, was. in Mr.. Ross
opinion, not his son. An immense crowd
collected round the hotel, and Mr.. Ross
found it impossible to satisfy them without
going out and making speech, which was
received with every demonstration OF
sympathy.
A CURIOUS LETTER.
The editor of the New York "World" an
nounces that he has received the following
anonymous communication:
THREE RIVERS, Sept. l, 1876.
Editor of the "World. ."-Sir:-We wish
to let Mr.. Ross know how easily he was
mistaken in recognizing Charlie yesterday,
without writing to him directly, and would
say that he had his stolen child in bis pres
ence yesterday, but will not have him again
until the required reward is given, for by
the time he reads this Charlie will be far
away from Three Rivers. 1t was all of an
accident that he saw him this time, and
would not if the discovery (or discoverers)
had kept strict watch over the child day

MARCHING OUT OF EGYPT,

In a colored' church in Augusta,
Georgia, a novel ceremony, called
Marching out of Egypt" has been
introduced. The worshippers meet
about nine o'clock at night, and, amid
solemn chanting, march around in a
circle hour after hour. Those who
hold out at this treadmill sort of per-
formance until daybreak are con-
sidered the chosen ones, and destined
for heaven while those who fall by
the wayside from weakness of the
Iiesh, if not the spirits, are not in a
state of grace.
A gentleman living in the city was
surprised one morning at perceiving
that although it was seven o'clock, no
preparations were being made for
breakfast, and the cook was not visi-
BILE. Imagining all sort of things, that
Diana was defunct, or had fled to
other regions, he opened her room
door, and found her lying asleep, "like
some marble (black) statue seen in
europe" After much shouting he
succeeded in rousing her, and asked
her what she meant by sleeping so
late. Whereupon she replied that
she had been Marching out of
Egypt" and explained the ceremony
as above related. She was one Of the
elect.

A STRANGE STORY,

Mr.. Sindall, who lives in Baltimore,
accompanied by his son, a lad eleven
OF twelve years of age, recently was at
the Custom House and in maritime
circles seeking for evidence that would
confirm strange story told by the
boy. Mr.. Sindall said that his son
had been lost since May s, 1878. The
boy, whose story was not very clearly
told, said he was on the coal wharves,
probably Locus Point, as a brig was
about to sail. The captain asked the
boy to come on board, and go down as
far as Holly Grove, where he would
be landed. The boy consented, and
the brig started down the bay. After
sailing for a long time the boy states
he was put on board Of a large ship,
where he remained in the capacity of
cabin boy. He says the ship went to
China, and he gave some description
Of the people he saw there, but says
he was not allowed to land, and had
not been on shore for two years and
q half. The ship came back to Balti-
more, reaching here on Monday Of
last week. The boy says he stole off
from the vessel and made his way
home. He gave the name of the ves-
sci as the Pascaret, commanded by a
Captain Ward, but there is no such
named vessel in this port, nor has
there ever been, so far as marine re-
cords Of the past disclose. The state
ment OF the father that his son has
been lost for the time named is doubt
less correct, but the story os the boy
is not vet authenticated

QUACKs AND oUACK MEDICINES.

The President of the British Phar-
maceutical Conference, in his inau-
gural address, called for legislative
interference in the matter of patent
medicines, which, as he rightly re-
marked, are not patent, but secret
remedies. He recommended the ap-
pointment of a commission, to which
the composition of these specifics
should be disclosed, and which should
exercise some control over the extrav-
agant and lying puffs by which their
sale is extended, to the injury in many,
perhaps in most cases of the public
health. The first precaution is OBJ
served in all other countries, the other
proceeding would be more difficult to
carry out.
Another evil of similar descrip-
ton the president did not notice, and
that is (says TOte) the practice, which
is becoming increasingly frequent, OF
chemists prescribing across the coun-
ter, regarding which, there have been
some disagreeable disclosures of late !;
and still more correctly than of the
regular practitioners, it may be said
of chemists and their smart assistants,
who thus encroach on another pro-
fession, that they pour drugs of the
nature and action Of which they know
little, into Il body, the structure, and
especially the functions, of which they
know much less.
