The Mobile Riot. PARTICULARS DY AN' F.YR WITNESS. A Mobile correspondent of the Montgoin*ry Advertiser, gives ibe following account of tho recent riot : Mr. Kelly commenced liis discourse l?y a'lading very derisively to the epithet of "notorious Radical,' which had been given him since he came South, and said thai he came "to serve his country, and n < political faction." For some twenty minutes quiet and order marke I the proceedings of the meeti iug. At first he told the people to forget the past and all unpleasant memories ? After this twenty minutes had passed with Comparatively no disturbance, the speaker retrospected and alluded to the "Clark amendment in Congress years ago, and its relations to the rettlement of the qoes. lion of slavery." (Some person cried out "It's a lie!") The speaker continued to discourse, his manner ami words waxed warmer as he advanced nnd amplified upon lit is inflammatory theme lie spoke of the "great privileges j\nd riglits.it was now the freed man's right to enjoy," which occasioned deafening applause from the blacks S'ill, the remarks of the speaker assumed a more inflammatory and inccndi arv tone, and were calculated to excite Southern men. lI>-epoke to the negro in this etrain?-"These men who were once your masters, fought for four long roars to perpetuate your slavery, while we fought to make and perpetuate your freedom.? You had no privileges, hut you were abused and maltreated hv them when they owned vou, and you made them rich by votir labor. Now you are a*free as any man, and I am here to talk with von about exercising the rights, immunities, and privileges of a citizen of the great United States, and to toll you of rour duty to lha party who sot you free (im iuuiisu appiause huci cni'9 ot "put lutn out!') Those man ought to thank von for your faithful service which you rendered them ; an I these very men who tried to rivet slavery upon Ton, now want togo to Congress with your vote." These remarks were irritating in the extreme and excite.1 the vile passions of some lawless characters. TIk-v aflnoyed the speaker, and he would, with some ro mark of sleeping venom, indulge in tin necessary bombast ami thereby elicit great applause from the blacks. 8<J it went on and the storm was brewing, llo then spoke of the Confederate dead in a very disrespectful manner, and finished this point hv indulging in an elaborate and ill timed encomium upon the "Federal dead, who died to free the negro, and to avenge the public wrrng," (Cr.es of Vgive him a negro harem^') It was now a few minutes after nine o'clock, when he went hack to the days of 18 17, and began to speak of how the South had acted then with regard to the question of slavery. Men's blood boiled with rage and excitement. (A voice from the crowd, "I'ut him down.") The spea|? or said, "Yon can't put me down and you had better not try it. for here are some of the 15th U.*S Infantry iff my back." (Cries of "put him dowif.") ? Said the speaker, "If these can't sustain mo f!?-* ? -til* A..* * 4 ? 1 -4" <i/in tnu fin ir, arid ir the Ifi'li ifni'fl States Infantry can't protect ;? ! >val * 11?j??? t while sneaking to the down tr'?cl?!??H Murks ami Uliioti men in Mobile, the United States Atmv can do it." Cries of "Put him down" came up from many quarters of the assembly, and he could not continue to speak. Just at this juncture the Chief nf Police went to arrest a very noisy man in the crowd, and then the smothered feelings of some characters were put in poetical dc nionstration hy making the rupture open nnd the disturbance general. The large body of itlacks surged to and fro like hi I lows of a storrp troubled sea. A panic Seized the blacks^nd they began to slaim pede. Three shots were first fired in the etreet, and chils were used freely. TIiom was a rapid^nt random fire issuing from a dense crowd of negroes on the ruins of the old court house building around the fpeniier'a stand. The city bell immedi ntoly sounded the alarm, &nd two com panies were immediately dispatched to the scene of action to quell the disluV bance. Shots were being fired from the junc tion ofl'oyal and Government street* from ti e old court-house building, from the rorth side of Government and from the left of the building at the corner of Roval and Government, all concentrated on*the centre of the latter street. The firing hei ca>?e rapid, and there was a running fi'e down Tioyal toward Danphln, up Dtuph in, up Government, and up Conti street, for some tiventv minutes until the milita rv got on the groifnd. Soqie persons were hilled and some wounded ; how many has not yet been ascertained. Thd Riot at Mobile?Further Particulars. A despatch published elsewhere give an account of quite a serious riot, in Mo. bile, where Judge Kelley, a radical, of Philadelphia, addressed a public meeting, on Tuesday evening. Another despatch from Mobile gives the following version of the origin of the d:s'urbatice : Mr. Kelley attempted to speak at the corner of Government and Iioval streets, to a very large audience of both colore. Col. Sheppard, who is in command of the IT.iml : ?ii_ .1 - vim-u i "?airn MllHiy Wfll 1110 band of the 15'h Infaniry to the meet ing, which enlvenel tlie occasion with some fine music. GU'tarus Horton, E?q , A gentleman whose nephew was murdered in the New Orleans Riot, presided. Judge Kelly proceeded as far as to say that lie was here, not, as one of their pa< pers had stated, the representative of any faction, hut to spe.k in behalf of the whole people and the whole country of the United States The faction I aerve m the 32 0U0,000 of the American people, and I wjll aerve them before the world. 1 thank you for coming to hear that no torious radical from Pennsylvania. l)em agogue* made the war. They kept the South apart from the North, and would not lot them hear our worda, aa the edt i Ipi v flj tor of the Mobile Timrs in trying to do. They are their work eg*'". and they want to keep us asunder. Bat we will take counsel together, in spite of all the editorial quills in the State. The sp.-alter referred to the sftv'etaent of Alexander II. Stephen^, that slavery was the foundation stone of tV40 Confederacy. and said that the Colored peop'e , knew that lln-ir old masters during the 1 war, were fightirtV to keep them in hon ' dage [Applause] He was hero to night j to speak as he could not have done be I fore the war. They would not dare to | listen to him ; thev were not allowed to | road a Northern newspaper. If a man | in (lie cars was found with on? in hi* | pockets, he would hp hunted like a felon I [Cheers.} While the rights of free speech and a free press are preserved, tve never can he cirrsed with another war. Here there was some, interruption on the outskirts of the meeting, with cries of -Put him down." Then the riot coin menced. (with the result as alrpadv sta ted,) and the judge's speech was brought to a sudden conclusion. What a Lawless Congress May Do. Attorney-General Stnnhurv, in l.is speetdi on Monday, drew the following sketch of what a Congress may do when i it disregards obligations and oaths, and rio's in lawiesnesjs : * . Mv learned friend, who first addressed your honors, said that we cannot he des troved as a people or as a Government, un'ess, as I understood lion two co ordi nate branches of the Government concur. The Legislative anTl the Exeenl've may do it. The Legislative and the Judiciary mav?do it, hut not one of these alone. I wjsh it were so. I can see how the Leg islative power may destroy ns, and destroy us forever, and it is the most dangerous feature of otir whole system. Site msv.a fly laws that this Court cannot toiic)i,.hy proceedings that tins Court cannot resist, n! nr. Art im into WIIK will Hueirnr Itu I in onr domestic polic>, altogether break up our institution". To he sure it would he h!I wrong, it would bo t!i? assumption of unennstitu tional authority, but litem is the power, and so long us that pnw.-r^is harked by a majority of the peonle it may defy voiir honors. and tnav defv the world. What ! even this Court.*SHcred as it is, in the power of Congress. I low ? If Congress choose to do'lrov this Court, they have an espy method. Withdraw vour sa'a. ries, the verv moans In whin von roine l? re and sit here. J''til to make appro pria'ions. Hut if that is not enough, if | notwithstanding that you wiM ionte here, | an.f starve rather than qu t vour posts, thev may impeach VOtl on false charges, by one recogtiiz-d, established, acted up" on bv the other, and every member of the bench :nav 1 e impeached and madeinca pahle of holding his ollico. What fur ther ? As tlie members of this Court disap pear by resignation or death, the Court at last goes out of existence, unless one branch of Congress confirms the notnins tion of nome new jI ?r??t?l>t carrv this further. I might show yon that, in the variety of powers exercised l<v Con gress, and til at no Coori cun resist or con irol, it is in 1 lie power of th?

Baltimore Amcri con end Philadelphia Inquirer, aref>lea9 ed with the action of tint (ioverninent fh discharging Mr. Davison bail. Tlie Tri huuc says "Ail this mighj have heen effeclcd months ago, by a very little courage end good sense. It was as easy last summer as now. To advance toward some dilli cullies, is to overcome them, and this is a signal example. The isovernment had absolutely no excuse for the long imprison, mont o! Jefferson Davis, and its refusal to either release or trv him. We allirmed ( this a year ago, and that we were right was proved vestnrit*?v, when, after the hrief remarks of the counsel and a few legal forms, Mr Davis was discharged hy >lhe Court. lie is now at liberty to go where he pleases, and not at the South slot e, but equally at the North, his liher ation will bo ba.la^as a victory of common sense." The Herald, in ita article, says : "The enlargement of Mr. Dawi* will he hai'e^ with general satisfaction through1 out the country, in view of an uriinterrupt ed reconstruction and an early restoration to Congress of the'ten excluded Southern States. * * It matters little now v ..ether Davis in tried next week, next rnftnth, or next year ? his ttial will end in smoke. It in not unlikely that, if left to the courts, his case may he postponed again and again,*ti!l finally dropped In the John Brown song it is said : We will hang JcfT Davis to a?our apple tree, As wo go marching on.' ! And President Johnson lias declared tr>u' er*l time* that 'treason in a crime, and trAitor* must ha punished but, a* mat tare now stand*, the heat thing lift could do would be to grant a free pardon lo Davis, and let him go in peace." Forney's Chronicle winds up as follows ;< "t ?f course, this whole matter was ar rdhged in Washington. It is the wo^c, not of the judicial authorities pt Richmond, but of Andrew Johnson and his legal advieer, in subordination to whom these an thoritie* were acting.
