NEGRO ROW IN SOUTH NEMpHIs,

A negro row Occarred In South Memphis
Yesterday, in the vicinity Of the No, 5's en-
CINE house. We are informed that the dif>
6cult7 was brought on by the impudence of
a negro who insulted several white man, aud
finally defed q policeman, that as he was on
the eve OF striking the officer some unknown
individual threw brick at him, causing him
to ialI when the officer gave him such a severe
casti CATION that the negro is not expected to
live. A large crowd Of blacks gathered at the
scene of disturbance, and threatened to take
the law in their own hands. The colored
guard arrived and arrested the policeman and
several other white men, supposed TO have
had hand in the disturbance, This assem-
blage OF negroes to side with their color when
one Of them gets into difficulty with o
white man should be stopped at once, or it
may bring on results ofa serious character
They should be made to know that they are
not the guardians of the Law, and that those
who have justice in their hands will see it
fairly dispensed.

off the sidewalk, and that the Indignant hus

From the Memphis Ledger, Sept. 49,.
We are coming upon evil times, and it be-
nooves 'the powers that be" either to nave a
regiment OF white troops stationed at thi
point, or to reorganize the militia for the pro-
lection of lie We believe the negro man has
certain rights which should be sacredlyfre-,
spt cted, but when that race uses the freedom
which good country has vouchsafed them
for the purpose of partisan warfare on the
whites, it s high time they should be taught
the Government which protocols also Furnishes
them. There were no less than three negro
disturbances yesterday, but the most out
rageous one occurred on Jefferson street last
evening. A negro man, while passing In the
vicinity Of the theater, tripped white boy,
causing him to fall heavily to the sidewalk,
and, as he did so, called him "white livered
son of b-h," The attack was unprovoked,
and the boy rising, struck at the negro, A
white man, who was standing by, observing
the unequal contest, seized brick and struck
the negro on the head, causing rather an
uggly wound. This was no sooner done than
about hundred negroes gathered around the
spot and the oolored guards made their Rp.
pearAnce. The white man made his escape,
and ran in livery stable close at hand; the
stable was surrounded, and the negroes clam
ored for his Lille. They were very excited
aud all kind of threats were freely made. Had
the poor white man been caught ut this time,
the guards would not have been able TO pro-
tect him, and he would have surely been
murdered, The white man, finding that there
was no chance of escaping from the stable
unnoticed, boldly came through the crowd,
and was making away from them, when he
was recognized by one OF the party, There
be goes There he goes" was shouted from
hundred lips, aud now commenced race
down Jefferson street for life and death.
"Shoot him down." Kill himt' Sire on

escaped Bang, bang, went the guns, and
az we saw the red blaze emitted from the
weapons we felt chill of horror to think that
probably the poor fellow had lost his life. The
firing took place on Jefferson street, between
Third and Fourth, while the street was crow
ded with people, and it appeared miracle to
US that no one was hit The white man en-
tered another stable, and was lost The
crowd watched the spot for some time and
1 then gradually dispersed, mutteriDg vengeance
on the whites. One negro made the remark
that the colored people would yet rule Mem.
phis, or they would kill every white man in
the place. The white man was arrested by
the guards last evening, after dark, and placed
in the Irving block II the white man was
wrong in what he did, the law will settle with
him, but this gathering of negroes because
one of their race has been punished for its
audscity, and clamoring for the life OF q white
man, is something that BODIES no good TO the
peace of the community. and should not be
permitted. .

Secretary Seward still remains without
change. .........
Frederick Stewards skull Is fractured in
two places, besides severe cut on the
head. The attendant is still alive but hope
less. Major Stewards wounds not danger
lous.
1t is now ascertained with reasonable GER
ltainty that two assassins were engaged in
1.-The horrible crime-Wilkes Booth being
1.-THE one that shot the President, and the 9TH
Ter companion of his, whose name is not
known, but whose description Is so clear
THAT he can hardly escape. 1t appears
lfrom a letter found in Booths trunk that
2the murder was planned before the 4th of
March, but fell through then because the
Iaccomplice backed out until Richmond
could be heard from.
4 Booth ana MS accompllce were at tne llV-
3ery sable at 6 o'clock last evening, and left
there with their horses about 10 O'clock, or
shortly before that hour. 1t would seem
that they had for several days been seeking
their chance, but for some unknown reason
lit was not carried into effect until last
might. One of them has evidently made his
jway to Baltimore. The other has not yet
