About ten o'clock to-night a riot occurred in Broadway, between Fifth and Sixth streets, in the vicinity of Allen Temple, the colored church, be- tween an armed company of the colored battation and the Eighth and Thirteenth ward Greeley clubs out on @ torchlight procession, The police had instructions to be ready to mass at any given polnt in the city upon the sound of the alarm bells, and when they rang the whole force rushed to the point indicated. The procession was found in a broken and demoralized condition, “somé 4 full flight down Broadway and some running close to ‘thé Houses on either side to eacape 2 SHOWER GF BULLETS aay, from the colored musketeers, who weré_then hold- ing possession of the street above. ‘The police force managed to get to tho rear of the negroes, but did not dare attempt to disarm them.

The Greeley party claim that the negroes commenced firing into the rear of their procession, and it was only then they attempted to fire back, which they did with a few pistols, but with what effect cannot now be ascer- tained.

The police say thafthe negroes shot wildly nd whooped and yelled like savages. The Geeley- ites, completely taken by surprise, ran like sheep. The most serious consequences are apprehended growing out of the affair to-morrow. The attack on the Greeley procession was un- provoked. The negroes were preparing for it all day, and practised the manual of arms all the ternoon and evening, The firgt shot fired was negro wit" a revolver, whor Bpon éhother of howro wilt & a 0 or hegro shouted out, “Run to your on A 5 ay et your muskets and shoot every 4d. white ivered son of a b—h of them.” It is now. ascertained that another man ts shot in the groin, and a boy in the shoulder, both wounded seriously. The whole pole force armed to the teeth are sta- tioned in the neighborhood of the negro armor: and the streets leading to it. The negroes still maintain a hostile attitude, and swear they will Stick it out all night. Those on guard at the door say they expected to be attacked by the Greeley crowd and armed accord- ingly. It is thought that the whites are organizing an assault on the colored armory, and may attempt it during the night. The police are confident of their ability to prevent this, and thus the matter stands. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. CINCINNATI, Oct. 7, 1872. Ariot occurred about ten o'clock to-night on the corner of Filth street and Broadway, between a Fourth ward Greeley torchlight procession and colored people, in which from fifty to seventy-five shots were fired, and several persons were wounded, but none, so far as heard of, killed. The accounts of the affair by eyewitnesses are very conflicting and it is almost impossible to obtain reliable particulars. The Grecley club was from a ward in which the population ts largely Irish, and the locality of the riot was one thickly settled by colored people. The colored people say that during the day word was sent them that THEY WOULD BE ATTACKED THIS EVENING. This news came also to the police, and the officers of the district fearea a riot; and the colored men laid in a stock ofammunition. The colored women of Alien chapel, which ts at the cor- ner of Sixth street and Broadway, were holding a sort of fair for the benefit of their churches. They had a colored brass band playing for them on the street in front of the church. This drew a large crowd of people, and @ speech was called for. A col- ored man made them a political speech on the street, and while he was speaking the procession ofGreele: men marching west, on Fifth street, toward Broad- way, came into the latter street and turned to go down towards Fourth street. This was one square distant from where the speaking was ing on at the Colored church on the corner of Sixth street and the turned marching away from the church, Her and at this time tho firing commenced. How it com- menced is uncertain. No two stories agree. One account Is tata lot of colored children rushed down to the corner to see the procession go by, and hurrahed for Grant, aud that torch bearers in the procession beat them and drove them away, and ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE A COLORED MAN AWAY by beating him, and that he drew a pistol and fired at them. Others, who were not near by, but who saw the beginning, say that four shots were fired first from the procession, and that the colored men fired back. The preponderance of testimony is that the fring Was commenced by one very large col- ored man, who was standing at Fifth street and Broadway, on the sidewaik. The confusion then became tearful. The members of the procession first started to run and then rallied, The colored men, such as had pistols, seemed to be using thein and retiring north over Broadway. Cnarmed col- and Broadway, procession down Broadway, jecrowd at the ored men fran to their armory on New street, north of sixth street and east of Broadway. They got about thirty muskets and “i out to reinforce their friends, They su ceeded in driving back and dispersing the mem- bers of the proceasion, They tnen rushed to their armory, where about one hundred and fitty or two hundred of them are underarms, They have all “This attack to-night was organized to intimidate you from voting to-morrow. Now, I want to say to you, let every man of you go to the polls and vote, I¥ AT THE CO8T OF YOUR LIVES.’ This speech was received with deafening shouts. When tie riot was in progress the riot alarm w: sounde: on the fire-bells, and the whole police for was called to the scene, The Mayor, Chief of | Police and the whole police force were soon onthe spot.

Senator Simon on the Politics of Pennsylvania— Ho Recommends Hartranft for Civil Office and Quotes General Grant Eulo- gizing Him asa Goldier. Harrissuna, Va., Oct, 7, 1872, This city ts perfectly wild with excitement. The streets are thronged and hundreds of people are gazing at the illuminations and the republicaa torchlight procession. Some of the public buildings are lighted up with large Chineso lan- terns, and small and big specimens of the national standard depend from every house along the Susquehanna. The houses of Governor Geary, Senator Simon Cameron and many others are tastefully decorated with bunting and bril- Hantly lighted up. A procession, the most gorgeous Lever saw during any campaign, paraded the prin- cipal streets of the town; fire of every hue was burned and thousands of rockets were discharged. Caucuses at Lochiet and the Court House avenue are apparently the most conclusive evidence that the election of the entire republican ticket is all but certain. Professor Miller is speaking here on behalf of liberals and democrats; but the re- publicans have done a good deal toward shutting him up. In Dauphin county it is expected the republicans will poll several hundred voters more than they cast last election. Democrats have every confidence in their side, and between the two factions they have’ the very best hold of the polling places, where they poiltely give each other the lie, and are almost maddened one with the other. At this moment a liberal meeting ia going on, and the republican bands and howlers are making night well nigh hideous with the row in the streets around the court house and in Third street. I met Senator Cameron at his house on Front street, at fine o'clock this evening, and requested a state- ment of his vie Tegarding the ¢legtion easinee “and yontlag “Political “questions. Ho said ho nad made the closest pos sible calculations from tho canvass of the State, and could not estimate Hartranft’s ma- jority at not less than fifteen thousand tnroughout ate, Of course the estimate is low, as in all the St probability it will reach twenty thousand.

I had not the least say in it one way or the other. It was as well he was nominated, however. General Grant told me himself that Hartranft was one of the best soldiers inthe army during the war, and I can readily be- lieve. CORRESPONDENT—If ho is elected what reforms does he promise ? CAMERON—I suppose there will be some changes down here concerning the Capitol. The propese? changes in the constitution do not amount to much. So far, I suppose, as an alteration in the way of conducting business at the Capitol is concerned, I think near’ everybody will ee. I don't put great faith in the work likely to be done in a constitutional convention. The biows, ifany are struck, wil be aimed at the corporations; but here is a difliculty for the refor- mers, The Reading raflroad, the President of Which is @ prince among corporations, {fs well represented on the list of candidates; so also is the Pennsylvania railroad and other corporations, There is one important office, that of State Trea- surer, to be elected by the people instead of the Legislature, as Mackay waselected. If Buckalew should be elected I suppose things will be shaken up a little, and then they can begin to quarrel with one another. CORRESPONDENT—You are a candidate for re- election to the United States Senate ? CAMBRON—I have never sald so. The only efforts I have made have becn in the interests of the election of Hartranft and the State ticket. I have made no effort to secure my re- election. When my term is out, in March, it will entirely depend on circumstances whether I shall or not become a candidate for re-election, Curtin has been a candidate before, indeed he was my last competitor, after being Governor for six years during the war. He thought he was im- minentiy popular in the State and ran against me, as did that fellow Pd who never got a yote out of about eighty votes in the caucus. I received some- where near sixty of them. I am not frightened of him any more thanI was, John Curtin has an en- tirely faliacious notion as to his popularity in the State. When Buckalew ran for the same office in 1862 he would not have received the one vote that elected him but for a bargain with Curtin. CoRRMBPONDENT—Forney may be waiting for your shoes, Cammron—It I were to die to-morrow Forney wouldn’t be sent as United States Senator to Wash- ington from this Commonwealth. Curtin may run again. CORRESPONDENT—Supposing Hartranit ts beat, how will the rest of the ticket stand ? CAMERON—I think if one ts beaten, in a very great measure ail will be beaten; but Judge Thom- son, Mercur'’s rival for the office of Supreme Court Judge, is an old and respected citizen of Erie, and might probably run ahead of Mercury. He has been on the bench fifty years. CORRESPONDENT—If Buckalew 1s elected what will be the eifect in the Presidential contest in Novem- ber? CaMERON—Well, we can’t say. We believe that “as goes Pennsylvania so goes the Union.” There are a large number of doubters waiting for this re- sult, If Hartranft is elected by fiiteen thousand we think Grant will have forty thousand in November, and perhaps we must look at the other side in the CORRESPONDENT—It is understood that you have | given $60,000 to Errett to carry on the campaign. CAMBRON—Is that all Only this morning there was aman here jn Harrisburg gy | about @ letter and check for $3,000 which he sald I nad sent him for his vote. These are lies. I have given nothing but my portion of asscssment, of which all alike are supposed to give. My. uniform denial | of this lying and abuse during the present cam- | aign, Which have been monstrous, is well known. ‘he Senator further said that the Yerkes business had in no way affected the campaign.

A Light Vote, But the State Kepublican. anrrorp, Oct. 7, 1872. At the town elections in this city to-tay a light vote was polled, only 4,706 of the 7,643 voters regis- tered having voted. The republican Town Cierk, Gorden Robins, is elected by 231 majority, over Levi Woodhouse, democrat, who has het¢ the office for several years. The republicans have @ majority in the Board of Selectmen, who, with the Town Clerk, are a Board of Appeal in matters Of registration of electors. Two of tho Selectmen and one of the Assessors elected were on both tickets. All the republican constables are elected, and four of the six Grand Jurors chosen are republicans, The democratic candidates for the Board of Relief are elected. Of the Assessors one republican, one democrat on both tickets and one Greeley republican on the democratic ticket are elected. The principal interest was in the voto for Tewn Olerk and Selectmen, The republicans chose the former by a handsome majority and have @ majority of the Selectmen. No comparison can be made of the vote at the town efections with any State elections, The vete is always light, and locat elections enter largely into the canvass, The chief’ importance is in the election of Selectmen and the Town Clerk, In forty-two towns heard from the republicans have ed these offices, including four towns that were democratic last year, and the democrats have gained in six towns which were republican last year. in the towns heard from majorities are given in the following order :— Republican—Meriden, 212; East Haddam, 124; Killingly, 265; Windham, 100; Norfolk, 85; Torring- ton, 3 New Britain, 600; Plainville, bury, 30; West Hartford, 50; Scotland, wold, 90; New London, 20; Waterford, 17 166; Montville, 105; Griswold, 97; Norwich, 250.

PLYMOSTH CHURCH SILVER WEDDING. The First Day’s Celebration—The Morn- ing Prayer Meeting—Procession of the Schoolse—An Exciting Scene in Colum- bia Street—Floral Offerings to Mr. Beecher—Services at the Church. The opening service of Plymouth church silver wedding took place in the lecture room yesterday morning, at eight o’clock. It was simply a prayer Meeting of one hour's duration, with no excep- tional characteristics of festivity that would show that it was other than what it was, an assembly of earnest men and women to thank God with heart and voice for the manifestation of His abundant mercy towards them. Mr. Beecher occupied his usual place on the platform, and announced the num- ber of the hymn; Mr. Zundell, at the piano, played over the indicated tune, and the audience, without rising from their seats, sang the hymn through. Mr. Beecher called upon some one to lead in prayer. In this prayer there was a touching reference to the pastor of the church, Before announcing the number of the next hymn Mr. Beecher made a few significant remarks that directed the current of thought and sentiment during the ite | portion of the hour. He said that the clew to the controlling influence of their morning's meditation at these meetings was iven in the programme that had been issued, That jay, the first day, was the children’s day, and it would be well that in the prayers and exhortations which followed the children should be the burden thereof. There was another indication that he would give that would be applicable to all the services. it was natural that on «an occasion like the | present the pastor and the church should be | prominent in the memory of all who took gartin these services. Admitting the naturalness of this, he was at the same time quite certain that nothing was more helpful to falling from grace than this tendency to self-glorification, and so he would like it understood that it would be in consonance with his judgment, and certainly in harmony with his | feelings, {fail reference to himself in connection | with the church were omitted. Its prosperity and its commanding position fda were traceable to Jesus only. The tiymt commenting, Acharge to keep I have, was then sung with earnestness, and the prayers | and addresses that followed were ail pitched in the same vein. THE PROCESSION OF THE SUNDAY ScHOoLs. About five o'clock in the afternoon the nelgh- borhood of Mr. Beecher's house, on Columbia | street, on the Heights, was thronged with an anx- ious and well dressed crowd of ladies, gentlemen | and children, waiting to witness the “march past’? of the schools. Every window that commanded a view of the procession was occupied, and at many ofthe houses the “Star Spangied Banner” and other indications of prosperity were hung upon the outer walls. Shortly aiter the time appointed, | five o'clock, Mr. Beecher, accompanied by Mrs, Beecher, Mrs. Schofield, his daughter, and several | members of his family, came upon the stoop, and immediately afterward the music of the drum and distance, and to the music of the Navy Yard Band, which took a posi- | tion nearly opposite the house, the schools marched past, saluting Mr, Beecher, which was very gener- ously acknowledged. Mr. Beecher was made the | recipient of numerous bouquets; no prima donna on the night of her greatest triumph was more overwhelmed with floral offerings. At one time the bouquets came so thick and fast and were thrown | with such steadiness of aim at the preacher's | head that manifestations of enthusiasm by ap- plause and cheering were taken up by the crowd and continued for several moments, drowning the music and giving to t.e scene quite the character of an ovation, There were nearly three thousand children in the procession, besides otticers, teachers and adult scholars. The schools marched in the following order:—The Navy Mission school, the Bethel Mission school and fhe Plymouth chureb school, under the charge of their réspective super- | inten noe Mr. Beil, Mr. Tilney and Meee ete Dun- can, Oneé of the interestin, feature; in the proces- sion was the married mén’s and the married women's classes of the Bethel school—men and women, Who by the instrumentality of the Mission | have been brought under Christian influences and raised from the degradation and wretchedness of poverty and vice to comparative competence and Retain There were more than two hundred of these reclaimed individuals, who marcied past Mr. Beecher with glee in their eyes and thankiulness on their countenances, ‘The schools marched to Plymouth church, and the vast edifice was filled in every part, there being but little room for visitors. | The superintendents of the schools, with Mr. Beecher and Dr. Scudder, occupied seats on the latform. Between the singing of appropriate hymne the two latter gentlemen addressed a few words to the assembled thousands. About eight | o'clock the children returned to their respective School rooms and were entertained with an accept- able dinner. To-day there will be a reunion of the officers and teachers of the schools at Plymouth church, ‘This is the firet day for the registering of voters. ‘The other days for registry in October are the 16th, 25th and 26th, the hours belag from eight o'clock A.

He preferred Grant to Creeley, but would support neither, and he cour gelled the people to Stay away from tho polls and, yote for neither, The People had sold out for ® meas of pottage, which they would never get, °/4 Greeley WS certain to bo Gefeated. The your's men of tne State had gone wild and knew Ogre thea he did, who had grown Old tn polttics asd had been their Governor. Hiasons were also Of ne same kind; and itis nephew, whom he loved 99 dearly as any of his song, was a candl- date for Congress, but he could never support any Wisé dn the ureewy ucKer. The cotservatiye party had done moro to radical. ize Virginta than 4 ~satanta conid ever dg, They saved WLW i pia Mel ia a8 @ repudiator, and Were ou «n° Te ‘oruin. He never would forgive them for having ¢onfented to his disfranchisement by pasaing the amendments to the constitution. He would raise up @ new party which would over- throw them, and he would thus have his revenge. He said had he been in the court room when Greeley signed Jeff Davis’ bail bond there would have been a scene which would probably have sent him to prison; but he would not sign the paper it Greeley's name was on it, and he did not, He complained of General Jubal Early, with whom, he said, he had a crow to pick. Two months ago Farly wrote him begging him to keep aloof and de- clare for neither party, and he had agreed, Now, without writing him, Early writes his letter, It had tempted him to take the opposite side; but no, he was not willing to go with Mosby, whom he considered injudicious in the extreme. But Mosby Was not more to blame for going for Grant than the rest were for eerie Greeley. He complained that his conirades in arms had de- serted him and Joined Greeley, who was the prime Cause of the war by sending John Brown down to Virginia tocommence it, If he could have gotten hold of Greeley, Phillips and Garrison about the time he had Brown he would have hanged them all as high as Haman. When Greeley signed the bail bond, and thus lost the United States Senatorship and subscribers to the Tribune, he was calculating on gulling the Southern people into this very movement. He did not believe in the repentance of @ woman who had lost her virtue; he would be afraid to trust her again. So it was with Greeley, he was afraid to trust him. It was all talk to secure the Southern vote. The colored people had acted nobly and he honored them, and, as their friend, advised them all to vote for Grant. A Conflict of Jurisdiction Over Southern CieAims. Comptroller Brodhead, of the Treasury Depart- ment, has decided that since the passage of the act of March 3, 1871, establishing the Southern Claims Commission, the Quartermaster General and Commissary General have had no lawful jurisdic- tion over claims for property used by the Union army in Tennessee, except such claims were already on file when the Claims Commission was estab- lished, in which event the jurisdiction of those officers over such claims on file, and none others, is continued by a section of an act approved April 20, 1871. The Commissary General, since the establish- ment of the Southern Claims Commission, has re- fused to receive any new claims for subsistence stores from Tennessee; but the practice has been otherwise in the Quartermaster’s Department with respect to ciaims for quartermasters’ supplies taken or furnished in that State, and some of the claims filed with the Quartermaster General since March 3, 1871, having now come before the Treas- ury oMcers for concurrence in awards made by the Quartermaster General, have been disallowed at the Treasury for want of Jurisdiction. As considerable expense has been incurred in preparing and verifying these claims, according to the rules of the Quartermaster’s Department, which are essentially diferent from those of the Claims | Commission, application is to be made at the next session of Congress for legislative reef from the necessity of presenting and proving the claims The justice of provid. ing @ general means of payment for such claims ag those of Dr. Best, of Kentucky, whose house wad destroyed by a Union commander as a military necessity, and Wiose claim was vetoed mainly be- cause it was “special legislation,” and of allowing rent or compensation for the use and occupancy of buildings, now excluded by the close construction of the term “stores or supplies” will also be urged upon the attention of Congress by those interested at the coming session. The present term of office of the Commissoners of Claims also expires during the coming session, so that Congress, being compelled to legisiate farther upon ty subjec’ of war claims in the | South, will probu iy colle -t the scattered jurisdic- tion now existing and confer it upon some one special tribunal to be governed by uniform rules of proceedure, Office-Holders Flying to Keep on Their Heads. A number of chiefs of bureaux and heads of divisions and nearly all the clerks in the Depart- ments who still hold their residences in States in which elections occur to-morrow have left here for | the purpose of voting. The election excitement is on the increase, and considerable money has been staked on the results. Payments under the Eight-Hour Law, Employés at Navy Yards entitled to the twenty their wages on account of the passage of the eight-hour law will be paid without delay. Clerks from the Fourth Auditor's Ofice and the Second Comptroller's Office are now at Philadelphia, and after finishing the accounts at | this yard will proceed to New York, Boston and Portsmouth in the order named. Clerks have aiso been sent to Mare Island Navy Yard, Norfolk and | Pensacola yards and New Orleans, All entitled to this extra pay will receive it before the second | in November. ling Along the Rio Grande and | on the Gulf Coast. fhe Treasury Department has recognized the sact that Customs revenue is annually defrauded to large amounts, especially along the Rio Grande, and to-day issued the following circular :— To COLLECTOR OF CusTOMs AND OTHERS:— This Department is in receipt of complaints of negligence on tke part of customs officers in the execution of tl duties to the inapec- tion of hoate, canoes, carriages an raons arriv- ing from foreign adjacent territory, whereby illegal traMic ia encouraged, damaging to the trade of hon- cat mer chayts and causing los4 to the vubilo rove- $ nue. ft ts represented that there is often anomie sion to report to any Customs officer on the falas excuse that not jutiabte ia imported, and their deputies in charge of divisions of are direoted hereafter to enforce strictly the pro visions of the act of March 3, 1821, June 24, 1864, and July 18, 1864, requiring such boata, vehi . &c., to be reporged for inspection and duties at tbe office of the Collector or yes lector nearest to the boundary line, aud néareat to the road or waters, by which any dutiable article is brought into the Gnited States trom the forelgw territory aforesaid, WILLIAM A, RICHARDSON, Acting Secretary. Special Agent Bingham left here to-night for New York, en route for his headquarters In Bostoa, He has been here for several days in consultation with the Department in reference to the recently aa- tounding developments of fraud on the Gulf coas#. The Prosecution of the Officers of the Metis, The solicitor of the Treasury to-day decided thas it was optional with the Supervising Inspector a6 New York to present the officers of the Metis for trial, together or separately. He thinks, however, that expense would be saved by trying them om one indictment under the same testimony. Piloting Steamers Undcr the Steamboat Law. The Treasury Department to-day decided thas persons undertaking to pilot enrolled and licensed or licensed steam voseels, ‘when under way, exceps on the high seas,” are Itable to@ penalty of $100, unless licensed by the United States under the pre- visions of the act of February 23, 1871; but persoms licensed as pilots by a State may ptlot all sailing vessels both in the coastwise and foreign trade, or registered steam vessels engaged in foreign trade, without a license from the United States under this act and without iucurring the penalty above mene tioned, The Greenbacks for Japan.
