INDIANAPOLIS.

The municipal election in Indianapolis vesterdav was turbulent almost beyond precedent. Out of the thirteen conncilmen to be elected, the Republicans carried 11, to 2 carried by the Democrats." The aggregate Republican majority in the citv was 4,370. Both sides claim that frauds were practiced, and the largeness of the vote polled shows that one or the other side, yj possibly both were guilty of_stuuejjd."0us "stuffings ofth.\.VShvJl~boxes".

their respective versions of the affair. From the Sentinel. "Indignant"—The colored citizens—IIow it all happened—The radical ring leaders incited them to riot, and they got worsted—A shameful spectacle—Colored men maddened by inflammatory influences to display mob violence—A bloody sequel.

Of all the farces ever enacted, of all ihe outrages ever perpetrated under the pretence of an election, that of yesterday in this city takes the lead. For a week before the election the Radicals had been running in and quartering their imported voting cattle in different parts of the city until the presence of strangers, brought here to vote the Republican ticket, was noticeable on every street. To make sure of success, however, this was not enough, and the low down class of negroes were trained for repeaters. To make assurance doubly sure tlie hoodlum element of the colored population was incited to deeds of violenee that would bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of the Radical managers if they were not sunk so low in their own rascalities that they are beyond the point where they can feef shame. All day long wagon loads of these black bummers went from ward to ward WHOOPING, YELLING AN ItR A DISHING

CLUBS,

and threatening destruction to all who opposed them. In marked contrast with their conduct was that of the respectable and orderly portion of the colored people. They went quietly to the polls, cast their votes and walked away or stood around to watch the progress of the election. At the Fourth Ward the disreputuble portion of the negroes took possession of the polls, challenged nearly every Democrat vote, and, in a great many cases, succeeded in driving them away, even after thev had taken the trouble to swear in their votes. If at any time anything was said, the clubs were all raised threatening^ and men were glad to go away without voting. Naturally this created some bad feeling on the part of the whites, but the rowdies among them were kept in control by the better class, and it was not until the negroes commenced a row in the Sixth ward that anything serious happened. At about ten minutes before six o'clock 200 or more negroes, becoming excited by purposely circulated reports of a row in the Fifth ward, started off with yells of "RALLY HOYS, RALLY TO THE FIFTH

WARD."

On getting to Washington street they were told that the supposed row was at the Sixth ward. They continued on their way, brandishing clubs, pistols and razors, and yelling like demons. Going down Illinois street two policemen tried to stop them, and one got knockcd down for his pains. On arriving at the Sixth ward voting pla*&, where everything had been quiet, they, being determined to have a light, insulted and taunted the voters almost beyond endurance. Failing to get a fight they started back up street, but at the Wood-buvn-Sarven

Wheel Works they met an

other party of negroes. They stopped to engage in conversation and blpw how they controlled the city, preventing white men from voting. They repeated their boasts about their ability to whip the voters of the Sixth Ward, and finally struck a white man on the head with a club. This was the signal for a riot that at once spread to all parts of the city. Clubs were procured from the wheel works, and

A RUNNING FIGHT WAS KEPT UP,

with occasionally a shot, until they got to

Washington street, at the corner of Illinois, when a regular battle occurred, and three negroes were reported killed Johnny McCloud, the notorious hoodlum, being amongst them. All reports of such deaths are, however, unfounde.d Twen-ty-five or thirty shots were fired-altogeth-er, the first being about one square north of the second ward polls. Only seven negroes were arrested. The.'police behaved with great gallantry and used every effort to quell the riot,'but ho power could have stopped it until it exhausted itself.

Kt om the Indianapolis Journal.

"Fatal Riot—The Evening of Election Dav Disgraced by Bloodshed—Effect of a Lying -Trick Started by a Democratic Courier—Collision Between a

Party of Colored Men and the Armed Police Bayonets—Two Men Killed and Several Seriously Wounded." Yesterday would have closed without any disturbance of consequence had it not been for the malicious interference and tolerance of the police, who were everywhere obstructively officious and imprudent. In the Fourth Ward the colored people were in a state of intense excitement all day, the incendiary remarks of the leaders among the Democracy for the past week having aroused them to a pitch of nervousness that boded ill They determined to stand up for the rights, and accordingly assembled to the number of several hundred at the pools early in the morning and remained there until evening. They were in a state of volcanic quietude, and it was plain to be trifled with. The police saw that from the start, and did not attempt intimidation, as they had at first intended. The colored people were thoroughly in earnest and determined to tolerate no interference with their rights of franchise, and while impressed with the importance of preserving law and order they did not regard that as giving any person license to "step on them." Three or four fights occured, but in every instance the row was begun by white men, and nothing serious transpired, though one imported voter of Hibernian features was beaten pretty severely in a fight of his own choice.

But it was not till evening that the crowning disgrace came to pass. About^ ten minutes before.

J.. J—ARTIUCK a horsman Vs.no was indentified as Ben Munden, 1 keeper of a disreputable ranche on South

Illinois street, came up to the crowd with the intelligence that a riot was in progress in the Sixth Ward, and that help was needed. The effect of this announcement on the excitable crowd was like touching a match to a powder magazine, and against the advice of the cool-er-headed ones about a hundred men started in the direction" of the Sixth Ward polls. They trooped down Illinois street, 'n the Woodburn-Sarven wheel-wiorks, tnany of them .picked up spokes from a nile stacked near the cMo.

Woodburn-Sarven Wheel Company's office they came together. The negroes had by this time come to a stand, but were making 110 demonstrations, when Captain Hennessey and Detective Hollywood rushed in and began disarming the colI ored men, wresting the sticks from them, and cursing furiously all the while. Then somebody cried, "Knock the niggwr, knock the nigger." And then knocking begun, supplemented by shooting and cutting, the two officers named leading off I with their ready revolvers, according to the best information. Their example was followed by several of their Irish friend*, who fired shots into the crowd indiscriminately. The negroes then fell back and run up the street pell-mell, stopping occasionally to throw clubs back at the mob

Several colored men were badly beaten, and one Samuel Kennedy by name, was stabbed in the right side, the knife penetrating to the chest, inflicting a dangerous but not neeessarily fatal wound. lie dragged himself away to a shauty on Kentucky avenue, where his cut was dressed bv Dr. Waterman, who pronounced his injuries serious. No other names could be learned except that of Charles Richards, a Vandalia employe, who received a terrible gash upon the head, for which he was promptly arrested and taken to the station house A running fight was kept up to the corner of of Illinois and Washington streets, of which a full description is given in the interviews below.

The first actual collision occurred in front of the Woodburn-Savern Wheelworks beyond a doubt, as our information was received from Mr. J. F. Pratt and Paxton Hay, who were eye witnesses to the affair at that point. The former states that he visited the sixth ward polls and- found every thing quiet, and it was not until the polls were closed that the colored men were seen coming down Illinois street. He started to his office at this time, and met the procession near the works. The men seemed to be in the best of humor, and to have come down to "see the fun." They did not appear to be at all bellicose, or inclined to engage in a row, and it was not until they had retired nearly two squares from the voting places that the riot began.

Our reporters made every effort last ni^ht to learn who it was that brought the false report of the riot of the Fourthward polls, and finally "run the man down to a hole." According to the testimony of Al. Voncanip and Frank Wrigkt a colored man brought the tidings, but farther investigation disclored the fact that the rumor was started by Ben.- Munden, a notoriously desperate character who had been acting as Democratic courier, who, after a consultation with Hollywood, Hennessey, Steve, Mattler and others, rode directly up town and is credited with having been the prime cause of the whole tragedy. Beyond a doubt the desperadoes under the leadership of the men named were thoroughly organized for a riot, for every successive stage gave evidence of premeditation.

AMEXDMEMT OF ORD OF »T.

Mr. Payne Proposes to Change Silver for Greenbacks.

MORTON RISES TO A PERSONAL PLANATION IN THE SENATE.

Payne without replying to that suggestion went on to explain that there was a necessity for the passage of the bill, on account of a sort of panic that had arisen in regard the small change, which fractional currency was now commanding a premium of from 2 to 2}^ per cent. The process of exchanging fractional currency for silver coin was so slow that the supply was not equal to the demands of business, and therefore the bill proposed that the silver coin should be exchangeable for legal tender notes that was the whole purport of the bill which had heen drawn in accordance with the suggestions of the secretary of the treasury.

Hewitt asked what arrangement was made in the bill to prevent greenbacks which were received for silver being paid out again instead of being reserved for the sinking fund.

Peyne replied that the committee had not thought it necessery to legislate under the idea that the Secretary of the Treasury would be likely to .violate the law.

Blount objected to the consideration of the bill, and the house adjourned. SENATE."

MORNING SESSION.

Washington, May 2.......

After the reports from various committees were received, Morton rose to personal explanation he had read an article published in the New York World in regard to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars received frem the Government and expended by him in organizing Indiana troops and food in the spring of 1863. The President of the United States advanced to him $250,000 to enable him to carry forward military operations in that state, of that amount he expended $133,332.91, and the balance of $116,697.09 was returned to the treasury. He had read letters from the secretary of the treasury dated April, 1865, acknowledging the receipt of money. He then spoke of the election in Indiana in 1862, when the Democrats carried the state by 10,000 majority, and saw their attempt to take from him all power to organize military and take it out of his hands. There was plenty of money in the state treasury to enable him to carry on the operations, but it was locked against him. He made appeals to the people of Indiana, and numerous county banks, and railroad, corporations who advanced him the money, but he was still $250,000 short, which amount was
