of the Dangerous SituatiOn-ApPealS Oh
the People TO Refrain from AcIs Likely
to Cause a Collision.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 5.-Excitement
here the past few days is intense, particu-
larly since the riot in Danville. While a
collision between whites and blacks in
Richmond is not very likely, yet the feel
ing is that it will require but slight hos
tile movement to percipitate riot. Mem
bers of the First Virginia regiment are
under orders from Mayor Darlington TO
hold themselves in readiness for an emer-
gency and $50 special policemen are
sworn in on duty tomorrow. In antici-
patton Of further disturbance in
Danville and upon representation made
to him the governor this evening issued an
order for the Richmond light infantry
blues, Capt. Andrew Pizzini, and section
of the Richmond howitzers, Capt. E. J.
Bosher, to proceed to that city The
Richmond military leave at Il o'clock to-
night, under command of Major Il. G.
Carter, who upon arrival in Danvilia vail
assume command OF all military there.
He will report to the mayor and city ser
geant in Danv1lle.
LYNoHBURG, Va, Nov. 5.-An immense
mass meeting tonight passed resolutions
offered by General Jubal A. Early, ex-
pressing sympathy with the people of

fair count in to-morrow's election, and
threatening summary vengeance o. any
man or set of men who undertake ID per-
petrate fraud.
PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 5.--Mayor Jar

night, and called upon the blacks and
whites to observe proper order tomorrow

by Attorney General Blair and others.
Among those on the platform was Senator

ternoon circulars calling on negroes to

by voting the readjuster ticket.
DANvILLE, Va, Nov. 4.-The city re-
mains under the control of the military,
under direction of the towns sergeant.
Mayor Johnson has issued proclamation
winch says ell good citizens deprecate the
present disturbed condition of the city and
earnestly desire the restoration OF peace
and good order. He has appointed ten
special constables for each ward and called
into service the Danville Grays as military
coadjutors of this special constabulary.
He says further, $50 complete and reli-
able is this arrangement for preservation
OF the peace and protection
Of the town that I feel
fully warranted in assuring my fellow
Oft hot ~
maintained. l therefore call upon all
good citizens to resume their usual avoca-
tons and cease appearing upon the street
armed with shot guns and other weapons.
Thus, by quiet conduct and conservation,
things which make for peace, aid aHa as
sist me and the other authorities OF the
town in restoring peace and good order,
as all good citizens should do"
DANynLE. Va, Nov. 5.-Sentries from
the local military continue to guara the
streets and citizens as special eonstables,
armed with shot guns patrol the town.
The fatigue of guard duty is exhausting
many citizens having been SO engaged
since Saturday evening. The town is quiet
but the latent feeling is intense. A num-
Der OF persona are on the
streets this afternoon, both white
and colored, but very few ladies. Bust
ness is almost entirely suspended. Mayor
johnson this morning issued proclama-
ton announcing the appointment of a
special constabulary of picked men for
each ward, aided by the Danville Grays,
called into service for military assistance
should it be needed. The negroes seem
quiet and undemonstrative.
RICHMOND, Nov. 5. - The resolution
adopted at a mass meeting of citizens of
Danville yesterday setting forth that the
conflict there between the races was the
result of conspiracy of leaders of the
coalition movement to force race issue
upon the whites, was builetined here this
morning and has an encouraging effect.
This morning disturbance took place
in Fredericksburg, which almost brought
about serious trouble. Capt. Morris Rowe
a prominent citizen, while discussing the
Danville riot, was overheard by negro
named Street, who denounced the riot as a
'funder," meaning q Democratic lie.
Street kccked Rowe down, Rowe succeeded
IN getting him off and beat him
pretty soundly. The affair attracted
large crowd of whites and blacks, and, for
time, serlous trouble was anticipated,
bat it was prevented. There is feverish-
ness in nearly all districts in the state, and
fears are entertained that other riots will
occur in several places tomorrow if not
to-day. More arms have been sold IN the
state in the past ten days than before in
time of peace, except probably just after
the war.
