RIOT IN SAVANNAH.
Tho Suv-unnab papers of Wednesday 7

It was created by the negroes taking

Last evening intelligence was receiv
ed that a large body of negroes headed, I
by the scoundrel Bradley, were march-;
in”' ori the city by way of the Ogeechre
road General Anderson ordered a spe-;
eial force of mounted citizens, organized |
as a pair* 1 guard to go out and meet
them. If tho negroes were unarmed i
they were to he allowed to pass, hut il !

two miles and met the negroes about
Seven o’clock in the evening. Taking
six men ho rode in advance oi Lis main
force and ordered the advancing column
to halt. He then told them that il tiu
; armed they might pass quietly into the
city, hut if armed they must disperse. —
The only answer received was a volley
fired at them by the negroes. They then
full hack upon the main body followed
by the negroes whir maintained a heavy
fire. Finding Iris force too small to cop l '
with the rioters Capt. Frcndergast fell
hack to the city. When he first went
out and halted the negroes, (’apt Pren
dergast was accompanied by Mr. Samuel
S Law, s<ui of Hon William I.aw. When
the detachment turned towards the city
Mr. Laws horse joined it riderless and it
was beared that he had received a fatal
wound when tho first, volley was tired.
In the course of half an hour a detach
ment of fifty men was sent ont on the
load. They‘found that the negroes had
dispersed and the tears with reference
to Mr. Law were terribly realized. Ills
body was found lying in tho midale of
the road just where the halt was made,
lie had been shot at close quartern in
the chest with a load of buckshot. The
wound was* a terrible one and must have
caused instant death. The body was
brought back to the city, and taken to
I is bereaved family.
Mr. Law was a very promising young j
man of about, twenty four years of age.
Ho served gallantly during the war;!
first in the Eighth Oco-giu regiment and ]
afterwards iu tho Chatham Artillery.—
He was engaged in business here and
was a prominent member of the Young j
Men’s Democratic Club.
Capt. ITeudergast’s special force re
turned the fire of the negroes, and it was
currently reported that two of tho blacks
were killed. The country just outside

last night, and up to the time of writing :
no further disturbance had taken phut

[From the New 4 nrk ileraliL]
MULDER, NORTH AND SOUTH. ,
We have been made familiar tor a;
long time past with stories of frequent
murders, violent assaults, d.splays of
force to interrupt political processions in
the Southern States, negroes assailing
white men oven unto death ai.d white:
me!! assaulting negroes. This is ail the,
natural result of the Radical system of
reconstruction. The reconstruction laws
were the basis of a war of races. We
cannot, therefore, he surprised at lliv
fruits. For example, white men in open
day munle! Randolph, a black member
of the South Carolina Legislature ; black
men in Louisiana hunt down a white
man, chain him to a tree, threaten him
with death, and the result is a general
tight between negroes and white men,
j ending in the death of thirty <>l the un
fortunate blacks and two white men. So
also, at Jefferson, a city situated a little
| above New Orleans, the old police force
and the new one appointed by the Lou
isiana "black and inn’' Legislature come
into collision upon the latter attempting
to assume authority. VS herefore ? lie
cause the new organization is composed,
in large part, of negioes, wlio. it appears,
go heavily armed through the streets,
displaying that effrontery which always
characterizes ignorance vested with au
thority. A newspaper t ftice in Alexan -
dria, Louisiana, is also sacked by a mob,
whetli r white or black the dispute'll;
docs uot stale,; but that it was neverthe
less the result of a collision between the
races we may safely assume.
The latest murder is that of four peo
ple iti the streets of New Orleans on
Saturday, in a fight between a white and
a black political club. From various!
quarters in the Soilt li wo Vnr of similar
conflicts, which make good the prophecy
that the reconstruction laws, whether,
“iinconstitutiomd, null and void,” as they
have been declared by the Democratic,
platform, or not, are certainly provoca
tive of much inisehict, anarchy and blood
slu'd. So much for the Southern record
of murder, ami we have not noted the
half it. But what of the murder record
of the North? Perhaps if we were to
strike unfair balance there would not he
so much difference after all. The appar
ent difference is that homicide at the
South is invariably put to the credit ol
polities , and in exciting times liku these
there is much made of it by partisan j
newspapers. We are told that in one
single corny of New Hampshire there j
are now awaiting trial no less than five
murderers. In our ewu city homicides
are almost as numerous as nights in the I
year. .New England furnishes accord-,
mg to the record, nearly as many iuui-i
ilerers in proportion to flie population as
: the Southern States.
The moral of all this is thud, while Rad
j ical reconstruction cannot check the pro
gress ot time m the estates, but rather
testers ir, so New England Puritanism
j cannot elevate the moral condition of its
j people above the use of the knife, the
I pistol and the poison cup. The cause of
the increase ot murder in the South is to
j in traced to the war of races, the inevi
table result ot Had cal policy.
In New England it belongs to ike war
! of had passions, to irreligioii and intem
perance No pica ol political exaspera
tion can be .put there, lor everything is
j serene and pleasant in New England; no
military governors no negro supremacy, ■
; tor New England takes care that the
' negro is keyt in his proper place ; no
j disfranchisement of white citizens thcic
ito provoke conflict and keep men's tem
per up “like ijuills on the lrelful porcu
ipiue;” and yet with ail the hideous re*
i ports of mu.der and violence in the South
, era States sad as they are it would up
pear from recent statements that we are
j not much better oil'at the North than

governed portion of the country.

About 10 o’clock last night, as the j
V’orfcii gmen’s Chib were serenading stj
the residence of Mr. Thus. Hare 1 f>s Fur

'Grant Colored Club, marching down St !
Charles street. As soon as the working!
men finished their serenade they return- !
mi their march down St. Chai’e-s jj mie i
paces in the mar of the negroes. From:
there to the Conn r t f Canal the negroes ,
constantly assailed them with offensive!
and insulting epithet*. Anxious to a-,
void a difiicu ty the white men bore!
tin ir taunts in silence and preserved a
demeanor which utterly prci'f idii: the
idea of in J In stile design.
Reaching the corner of Canal street,'
the colored club dil ided, a putt going up
each side of the in utial ground, so as to
keep the Workingmen constantly in their
rear. TIJ* insult too was put up with
until Carotnli let street was reached and
passed. About half way between Car
oiidelet and .Bui' i'lio streets the negroes
halted anti a part of them turned buck,
and thus brought their imu face to lace
w ith the white club.
At tfiis jiinctuie a negro broke from
the ranks of Ins own dub, and rushed
into the center of the win to club, shout
ing at the top of his voice, "Come on,
let’s clean them out! ’
It was riot in human nature to endure
all this, certainly uot in the nature ot
men smarting under recent outrage* and
taunts home in silence for an hour. A
shot was fired by a negro from the ranks
of the returning party, which cut through
tin; cap of a gentleman nail cd Kichard
. ii. it was then that the white men
returned thi fire and a general engage
incut ensued- There wan a wild null, a
fearful mingling if. a death struggle ol
the white and black element, and a quick
and rapid discharge ol firearms all along
the line.
The angry throng I cut and swayed, I

moan and ghoul ot tin angry mini utants

the echoes o! a ukii mi.-li line before the
■cotitiom ua roar of tattle bleaks upon
the ear. 11 was sear t.!y a minute and
yet blood ran red on the streets, and
dea l negroes lay stretched on t .« ground
It was not scarcely a seconds before
;-!\ lav dead oti tLt; street and two more
were home hack by their feilowa mor
tally vioui led I hi; negroes bought
wildly and were evidently in mot tal
dread at the terrible retribution they
provoked. The white men, on the con
imrv were skilled in the use of aims and
moat of them la-fore had kept step and
hue iu the lory of battle. They were
not alarmed at the sbont of the parti-col
! Hied Toe, for they had seen hostile pen
nons betid and shake in a melee when
men di. dby hundreds. They knew that
Ike time had come to teach a lesson and
j the least show ol timidity would stiinu
late the negroes and t eir cowardly as
sociates to diem h the city in blood.
There, was thin lore, no giving hack
und nc wavering from the conflict.
While the head of the column of the
Workingmen were thus engaged, the
rear formed into line arid uiurcned to
their support. It was at this moment
Hie negroes fled. Broken and discern
fitted they ran in every direction. Al
though they had provoked the conflict
and had hi t'll themselves the assailants,
yet the attack ceased and the very mo
ment that resistance was at an end.—
They were not pursued am. no advan
tage taken of the victory gamed.
Throughout the conflict Die negroes
numbered two to one. It was tins ex
cess of forces no doubt which incited
them to tliO attack. lhty knew the
white men li;t'l borne in silence t.units
such as they were not accustomed t *
endure and believe.! that they could with
impunity advance another st»-p in their
host 1 • aggressi ms ana pci haps provoke
an encounter which would redound to
their advantage. In this they were mis
taken- Shott of actual violence, any-'
tiling would have been put up with; but
the people of New Orleans hud too long
and too seriously suffered from the bru
tal insolence of negroes, urged on as
they are by cowardly white s to permit
their rights as citizens and their very
manhood to ho trampled in the dust.
When assai. and they had a right to res
