Disturbances such as occurred here on Thursday {ast aro apparently to become part of the regular order of events in this city. Another ecourred yesterday, an- ‘other last night, and still another at two A.M. to-day. ‘The police found it tmpossible tg suppress the one that occurred last mght, and the milf§iry were called upon. Briones were thrown and pistols were fired. Fortunately, mo one was killed, and so a murderous and terribie col- Mision of races is doferrod for a time, How such collision can be definitely avoided it is at presont dificult to see. ‘The unmistakable tendency of the current is that way, and-it seems to be the actual purpose of some men to force the terrible crisis. ie Ata densely packed assemblage of excitable negroes on Wyiday night, a radical orator held up as the only reason why the negroes should keep the peace—the only reason why they should be modorate, why they should got give vent to any fury they felt—the only reason for ‘this was that Judge Underwood was in the city. The “great and iliustrious Underwood’ he called bim. Un- erwood’s presence ought to control them, because their violence would put the Judge’s life in peril. The moral of the warning being, that Underwood, in caso of riot, ‘would be among the first men slain, and he would be alain as the friend of the negro. The niggers, thero- fore, ere to keep quiet while Underwood is ere, and becauso he is hore; but when Under @rood te safely out of range, and when the orator also is safely in Boston, What then? That noth- fing might be left in doubt this stratesic speaker laid down a programme for that case, Then he said:—“If you want to hold high carnival here you may!” Here ‘is a noble privilege extended by a Northern instructor to ‘an assemblage of ignorant, excitable, violent men, whose ‘hoads are already turned by political turmofl and new deas of liberty and equality, if not fraternity.

Ricamon, May 9, 1867. A gredual awakening is taking place all over this State to the necessity of adopting some course of political ac- tion to secure the triamph of conservatism and to coun- teract the radical influence, which is actively at work, Dullding up, step by step, # stromg republican party. © earnestly advocated by and even after the passage of the Reconstruction bill, has already lost more than half of its support ore. Those who still adhere to the policy of indifference to public affairs are becoming nervously anxious a¢ wo the wisdom of such ‘a course, and are casting about, like mariners deprived of chart and compass, for some guiding ght to arise and point out a path of action wherein their energice might be usefully and honorably employed in forwarding the Interests of this great commonwealth towards the desired end of restoration in the Union. At the present moment Parties and politics are in a most chaotic condition throughout the State, The disciples of Calhoun and the Sturdy Jacksonian democrats who believed in the tndi- ‘vimbility of the Union are mixed up in # state of inextri- adie confusion. No tangible line of demarkation can be drawn between what was whig and what wae democrat, fod in looking around at the political situation the only Party with lines sharply defined, and with an organiza. ton at once compact and effective, must be admitted to be the radical, or black man’s party, led principally by white mea.
