THE ATLANTA RIOTS.

/ According TO this mornings news
/ there has been a fresh outbreak of the
race riot in Atlanta, Ga. The authori
! ties felt that they had the situation
wen in hand, and some of the militia
companies were sent away; but Il
seems some of the negroes have nm
dertaken to avenge the death of their
own people and made bloody assault
from ambush upon squad of officers
killing several. The situation is there
fore still very grave and further vio-
lence is confidently looked for.
The immediate cause of the trouble
was a series of heinous assaults COM
mited by negroes upon white women;
and the escape of the perpetrators of
the crimes. The people had restrain
ed their anger long in the hope that
each of these brutal offenses would be
the last and that the guilty ones would
be brought to adequate punishment;
but. disappointed in this, and with the
offenses repeated and seemingly grow
ing holder and more terrible. their
fury broke all bounds and there are
twenty-five or thirty dead and forty or
fifty badly beaten.
The pity of it is that the popular
wreaked itself upon the
good and bad alike-A race riot knows
no distinction but that of race. And
The lesson is that the lawless element
must be held in check, that the negro
ruffian and rogue, as we'll as the white
shall be made to feel and respect the
strong arm of the law.
