SsvannaH, June 10.
A terrible riot occurred yesterday at Mc- Intosh, Liberty County, between a party of negro excursionists from Bryan County and those belonging there. It began in a fight between two negroes, whereupon John Randall, captain of the negro militia com- pany from Bryan County (a part of the ex- cursionists), ordered his men to charge, which they did, bayoneting everybody within reach, the Captain himself killing one man by running him through with his sword. There was intense excitement at this outrage. The Liberty County negroes rallied and drove the military company into the cars, opened fire on them, killing four and wounding many more, and only stopped shooting when the train got out of the way, which they tried to prevent by tearing up the rails. All the parties were negroes.
- = ee ‘A Ruskin Society.
A Ruskin Society has been formed at Manchester, the aim of its members being to study the works of Ruskin and to form a just estimate of them and of their writer’s character. At the late meeting of the so- ciety, Mr. R. Bailey Walker,the President, said that the opinions which had been form- ed concerning that distinguished man were most diverse. Some persons would speak of him as the foremost master of the English language, the foremost art critic and reacher of his time, as one of the deep- est students of social and physical science, and as one of the finest political economists and teachers of the present day. Other people looked upon Mr. Ruskin as a man who held extreme and unpopular views on various subjects, and took exception to his ideas on the abolition of railways, his de- nunciation of usury of all kinds, and _ his objection to the use of machinery. It was their duty to arrive at the truth and to benefit by the teachings of the great art critic.

Goldwin Smith’s Opinion.
Mr. Goldwin Smith, in a letter to the Telegram says that local and personal con- siderations had prevailed over the National issues. The National Policy, toe, had re- ceived a heavy blow, and the result would be the discouragement of manufacturing and other enterprises. In his opinion, a local election so affecting a national issue is ap argument in favor of making local legislatures municipal instead of political assemblies.

There was in the build-! Lower Canada, was originally passed by the |
That the
and for preventing treasonable and seditious practices, and at the time when said ordin- | ance was passed, several parts of Lower! Canada were in rebellion against her; Majesty's Government. That the members of the Orange Association, especially in Lower Canada, have never had other ends or objects by associating together than to protect her Majesty’s Gevernment. That it is utterly false that the members of the said Orange Association, and the plaintiff as a member thereef, ever countenaneed or authorized the administration of an un- lawful oath. That the refusal alleged in said plea of certain legislatures to grant acts of incorporation to members of Orange Association was not, as is averred, based upon apprehensions of illegal or un- lawful conduct from such associations, but merely on the ground that all citizens or subjects are bound, either by natural born duty, or by naturalization, to uphold her Majesty’s crown amd supremacy. That the meeting of magistrates mentioned in the said plea did not, and could not, confer upon the defendant the duty or right of doing anything contrary to law. That the the defendant as mayor of the city could not prohibit any lawful meeting intended to be held by any class of her Majesty’s subjects. That the excitement mentioned in said plea as existing among the citizens of Montreal was not created by the meet- ing of the members of the Orange Associa- tion, but was caused by the acts and doings of the defendant, who congregated to- gether a mob, organized and paid for pre- venting the exercise of an undeniable right by plaintiffand other members of the said Orange Association. Therefore the plain- tilf prays that the said plea be dismissed with costs. ‘hat the 500 constables were under the personal direction of said defend- ant without any authorization of the City Council. That the names of the special constables could never be obtained from any source. That it is false that the plain- tiff acquiesced in his own arrest. That nefther the police magistrate nor the grand jury had probable cause: for either com- mitting the plaintiff or returning a true bill against him, but that both acted in unison with defendant's illegal aninius and acts and were induced by defendant to dereliction of duty throngh commen op- pressive prejudices and illegalities as al- leged in the delaratien. ip > wo
