PISGRACEFTL PROCEKDINGS IN THE CoUNTY— A RieT QUELLED BY THE roLics. Yesterday afternoon a large crowd of white bs proceeded to the unenclosed colored burial ground, on the ce near arr rom, mile from the city limits, on the Baiti- “i Ohie railroad,) to witness two prize between some young bruisers of this city. While the preparations for the fistic encounters were being made, a funeral procession ap- proached the burial ground, anda number of eolored people left it, m order tosee what was going on where the roughs were assembled. The whites attempted to drive the colored men off, when the latter resisted, an Tee fight ensued. ‘The facts having been reported to Lieut. John- son, he, with Sergeant Pool and officer McDer- mott. proceeded to the scene of disturbance. Lient Kel'y had also received notice, and soon reached the ground. On the appearance of the police there was a general stampede and foot Face. The officers succeeded, however, tn no seeting eight or ten of the men as ther were endeavoring to escape, but unfortunately, the rineipals in the disgraceful affair, who’ are Lown, were not overtaken. The appearance of the officers at the time doubtless prevented a serious riot and bloodshed, as the entire number ef men, white and black, probably over 300 ii ~ Bumber, secmed at the time to be in one eral melee, using sticks and stones, as well ax their fists. They intended first to have the prize fight near the corner of New York avenue and Iet street, bot were driven off by officer McDer- mott. who had been informed of their ntention by oficer Pratt. ew RED SCHOOL QUESTION AGArx.— we appointed at a recent meetin, red citizens on the colored e submitted a report. They at. The law of Congress is full and ex- itom the subject, and the organic act in no Tepeals any of its provisions; that the trus- are in no way responsible to the local au- thorities for their acts; that the Legislature has net legislated for the colored schools of Wash- imgton and Georgetown, but leftthe whole mat- pe governed by the act of Congress; that overnor and General ¢ “bipman | agree with rustees in the position they occupy, and have so informed the auditor; that if the auditor is right, there is no law to establish colored schools in the District, and he should not have recognized and paid over moneys to the trustees ander a law of Congress he claims to have been repealed by the organic act; that by the failare ef the auditor to the law of Congress, and Bis refusal to pay the money due the colored schools after the Legisiature had passed a resoln- tion requiring bim to do so, he proved his untit- ness to held the responsible office that he now ices, and bis removal should be demanded; | that it is the duty of the colored citizens to appeal to the courts and Congress to right this matter. Mr. Richards, the auditor, is out in a card on this subject, in which he says:— The = ot | Congress reterred to requires the money appro- vriated to said schools to be paid on the fet of } October of each year. Every dollar due to these | sehools wes paid on the 3d of October last ‘Their teachers were paid for October in No- | fhe pay rolls being vouchers. In De- | trustees claim some $7,000 set to without presenting vouchera. As this payment does not come under the act of Congress before mentioned, which kas been obeyed, there is no law for the direction of red eenduct but the law of the Legislature, which Tequires the trustees of public schools to present duplicate vouchers to the auditor.” | | } Hovex-wanwixe.—Mr. Welcker, the famous | restowratewr aml eaterer, who has an eye to good | | | } i = pany as well as to good things edible and lable, conceived that to have a good send-off a4 eblarged and improved domicil it would | be the proper thing we his friends of the prese arecunbled arcand his Lounteous and fes- tive board.
