Riot and Bloodshed.

tCF-Mr. Clare Onley i« authorized to‘*c£*a‘pnr agent in procuring aub'Banner.’'

A dreadful riot recently occurred in’Chicago. which originated in a difticnlty between a portion of the citi-| rep and the Police. Many, both of th* Police and rioters, were' seriously ■ tpj|S|M|a<l several of whom are not tipenfed to survive. The military had been ordered out and placed on duQ”, and the Police force grately increased At the last account quiet had been partially restored. < Xr’Thc New Albany Ledger has the following on Mr. Colfax: ••Colfax, of the South Tend Register, •ik* what the “popular uprising last fall” has effected? Well it effected among other things, the election of a little pop* inlay to Congress from the Ninth District of Indiana.” To us an exhibition of such a spirit Os the above imports is always painful We are far-from endorsing the political creed of Mr. Colfax, but in our intercourse with him we have never discovered any thing that did not entitle him to the highest mark icf respect and courtesy. Though an ardent politician, we have invariably fou||d3jfiißPCPVPßntleman, worthy of the position he occupies. * The spirit that characterizes the paragraph quoted was prevalent in thia State, some years since, to such ah extent, that it was deemed advisable to call an Editorial Convention to soften this aperity and restore courtesy to the editorial corps. It was hoped, by many, at that time, that a disposition for detraction and abuse would never again disgrace the Press oflndiana. L . If we were publishing a political | paper we should certainly take issue with many of Mr. Colfax’s doctrines; bat this should by no means engender ill-will. Trend Colfax’s residence in the North and his great repugnance far the colored race make him somewhat inimical to the South; but this defection should be met with a spirit oftoleration, providing it is not carried •too far. We are in for tolerawttoltrance—all but the damnable heresy
