It would seem now, how- ever, that the reports that reached here yester- day (alluded to in yesterday's Star) were much °° Sxaggerated in regard to the loss of life. It is now stated that the riot originated in an at- tack of drunken ex-Confederate soldiers on the negroes, who from the statement of the Jour- nal, bad also been well supplied with whis- key. and retaliated the assault,and from thence- forward there was a frightfal scene of disorder and bloodshed throughout the day. The Alexandria Journal of yesterday morn- ing gives the following account of the affair: “No cityever presented a greater scene of riet and disorder than did Alexandria yester- day. Whisky flowed in streams from many of our restaurants, and from some it was dealt out liberally to the colored pocene as to the whites. Early in the morning it was observed + by our more quiet citizens thatall the young “reconstructed” gentlemen of the city were Yr" ‘well armed, and the gravest fears were ex- pressed lest & collision should take place be- ee en them and the colored people before the: day was over. These fears were not without t foundation, for rioting commenced at an early hour in the forenoon, and at 1 o'clock p.m. had assumed such fearful proportions that Mayor Ware found it necessary to call upon the mil- e uthorities for assistance to suppress it ambrick, to whom the Mayor made his pints ation, telegraphed Gen. Augur for or- ders, and that gentleman at once telegraphed back to use whatever number of troops was thought necessary to suppress the rioting then s height in the city Three companies of Hancock's veterans were at once ordered out, and proceeded to arrest every one found engaged rioting and disor- deriy conduct. The military did not commence their © oe any too soon—indeed not soon enough—for many persons had been seriously and dangerously wounded before they ap- peared on the scene of action. Notwithstand- ing the Mayor requested of the military au- thorities that all persons engaged in riotous conduct be admonished to go peaceably to their homes, it was found necessary to arrest be- tween fifty and a hundred of the ringleaders of the yarious disturbances then going on through- out the city, who were mostly sent to the slaye pen, where they were compelled to remain juring the balance of the day and night. Some ° ™ were this morning released, while the more guilty are stillin confinement. o many reports were prevalent this morn- ing, of shooting and cold-blooded murders, that any one listening to them would have thought that the darkest and bloodest days or the French revolution had been re-enacted im our midst. But we are happy to be able to ontradict @ majority of the reports which ¢ so freely banded about this forenoon. half of them were true we could not bave the courage to recite them. Some fifty or one hundred colored men were badly beaten, butso far as we have been able to learn but two were so badly injured as to preclude the hope of recovery. One of these was John Anderson, who was shot inthe head, and the her was Robert E. Sanders, who had his tured. Both of them are now d at one o'clock neither of them ted to live longer than a few hours. out adozen persons were arrested and are w in prison charged with complicity in the riot im which these men received their a ing the day & most unprovoked riot is have occurred at Chappell Hall, corner i of Duke and Washington streets, where a num- ber of colored people were holding a party. & white man by the name of Mitchell, who is said to have participated in the riot, was seriously wounded in the head, and at one o'clock this afternoon his death was currently reported. From other sources we have heard that bis injuries were very slight, and that no fears were entertained of serious results from bis wound. The day was one of “fear and trembling” for all quiet and well disposed persons, and had it not been for the interposition of the military orities the worst fears of this portion of community would have beén more than realized. Wethank them for their assistance, and for suppressing what atone time promised to be a most fearful riot. yer ————j—— Boarp or Scuoor Teustges.—Last evening, » ‘&special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Pablic Schools was held at their room in the City Hall. A nomber of bills were passed and ordered wo be paid Mr * O. Wilson submitted the report of the committee on the Teachers’ Institute, with also a report from the superintendent, Mr. Z. Rich- ards. The report states that during the year the exercises have been conducted ina very sat oTY ma) aer, and from the instruction Tec ed the teachers’ Iabors have been les- sened, and they have been better able to per- form their labors in imparting instruction than heretofore. The results of the teachings at the institute are already perceptible in the schools. The services of Mr. Z. Richards, the superin- vendent, and others, who have taken an interest in the istitute, are acknowledged. Mr. Tustin, chairman of the committee on the annual report, submitted the twenty-first an- noal report; which was adopted. The report is a carefully prepared document, and contains much valuable mformation. After *peaking of popular educauion, and the in- creased facilities for instructing the young in this District, the report refers to the action of L the Board on the 17th of April last, in reference . ‘tothe death of President Lincoln, which they mourn, but rejoice that his mantle has fallen upon so vas & successor as the present Executive. ‘eference is made to the changes m the Board, 4 and the duties of the members &re spoken of. The Secretary of Interior (Hon. James Harlan) is thanked for the interest he bas taken in the schools, and for his suggestions t Congress in his annual report, in reference the schools. The report embraces the reports ommittees On music, text books, examina- ‘on of teachers, and states that of 44 applicants for teacherships 20 qualified. The services of Miss Lowe, Miss Hubbard, and other teachers who resigned during the year, are acknowl- steed, and a tribute of respect is paid to the of Miss H. H. Slater, lave a teacher in District. The Mayor and City Coun- Star, Intelligencer, Republican, . for their fall and accurate reports. The services of Dr. Samson, President of an College, are acknowledged, and are returned for the gift of a scholar- o the most meritorious pupil in the *chools. The statistical portion of the report was not read, but we learn that it will show a larger umber of scholars than ever before. « Mr Brown offered a resolution requesting ‘the Mayor to ask of the Councils an appropria- ton for printing 2,000 copies of the report; Which was adopted.
