SHOOTING AFFRAY BETWEEN AN Ex-
SLAVE AND His FORMER MAsTER.-A dis
patch from Parkersburg, West Va, 9th in
stant,' tells the following story:
GA man named James Wilkes, residing
near this place, and formerly a large slave
holder, entered into q dispute with a color
ed man named Stephen Evans last night
regarding political matters. Evans had
formerly been a slave Of Wilkes, and in the
dispute severely berated him for the treat
ment he had received at the hands of the
latter while he was his slave. He finally
told Wilkes that he was a liar, when Wilkes
drew q revolver and fired three shots at
Evans-one taking effect in his shoulder,
making a severe but not serious wound.
The negro then %grappled with his assailant,
and wrenched the weapon from his hand.
He then fired two discharges at Wilkes,
both shots taking effect, making severe
but not dangerous Wounds. The negro
then crossed the river to Marietta, Ohio.
Wilkes, after having his wounds dressed,
left for Wheeling"

Rumored RadicnI Revolutionary
Schemes.

Washington correspondence OF the Boston Post
(Democratic), September5.
Some startling revelations are leaking
out here touching the revolutionary
schemes Of the Radical leaders. 1t has
been discovered that the plan for Radical
government and negro supremacy in the
southern States was concocted and ma
tured at the convention Of southern "loyal-
lists on the 18th of September last in
Philadelphia, where were present the Radi-
cal Governors of the several northern
States. It was then and there determined
to organize a revolutionary army, which
should hold the South under the control Of
the Radicals regardless Of what might be
the popular vote. 1t was also determined
that E. NJ. Pease should by some means
be placed at the head Of the State
organization in Texas, and in ODE
dicnce to this plot Of the revolution
lists, General Sheridan deposed Governor
Throckmorton and installed PcaSe in the
executive chair. In further continuation
Of the same plot, General f. j. Davis was
given q rowing commission by General
Sheridan, ostensibly for the purpose Of
! experimenting the registration, but really
to organize the Texas quota OF the Grand
Army of the Republic, the members of
which are sworn to hold the power Of the
South regardless of constitutional or legal
barriers. That work is o in rapid pro-
gress, and funds are being supplied through
the Loyal Leagues by the Radical Con-
gressioual Committee Of this city, OF which
Mr.. Schenck, of Ohio, is chairman. Myin-
formation is to the effect that this military
organization is now being rapidly pushed
forward in all the southern States, and
it is reported that the supreme command
of this revolutionary force has been be-
slowed on the late commander Of the Fifth
Military District. In view Of this power
full organization, which stands ready to
throttle the Government, the late procla-
nation of the President may not be ILL
timed. Of the truth Of this statement
there is now abundant proof, aud steps
will be taken by the Government to meet
the impending danger.

TELEGRAM, from Richmond.

RICHMOND, September THE registra-
ton returns (~oilicial) from the whole State
have been received at the army headquar-
tiers. The total vote is ZIG, 900. The ratio
Of voters is II whites to blacks.
The Wing has information that the com
handing General will order the election
of delegates to the convention (lO4 in
number) between the 10th and 18th OF
October.
Yesterday, a negro named Howe, who
had bought a tirst-class car through ticket
north of Washington, was put OF the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
cars near this city, having refused to ride
in the negroes car. He was about to sue
the company, but to-day it compromised
the matter by paying him 5000 damages.
This is the first case South where negroes
have recovered damages in such cases.

ANOTHER WITNESS FOR SUREATT.-Mr.
John P. Brophy, who lately resigned his
position as secretary to Admiral Dahlgren,
Of the Pacific squadron, and returned to
Washington, has published a card stating
that the distance and want of facilities for
communication made it impossible for him
to know what was going or here in the
matter of Surratt's trial, in which he was
expected to be an important witness for
the prisoner; but as soon as be ascertained
that the trial was going on, he resigned
and returned home, but unfortunately ar
rived too late to be of any service to the
defence in the trial. Mr.. Brophy, it will
be remembered, published a card, after
Mrs. Surratt's execution, impugning the
witness Weichman.

How the Ohio Radical Papers talk
about Negro Schools.
From the Sciota Gazett,

NAIL THAT LIE!-The Democratic pa
pers, stumpers, and workers are reitera-
ting the assertion that the passage Of the
amendment will sweep away all the regu-
lations in regard to separate schools for
white and colored children. We have
shown in this paper that this caunot be
done. The amendment will not affect this
matter one way or the other. The schools
will stand upon the same footing then as
now. They are required to be separate
and they will be required to be separate
when the amendment passes. Our people
should meet this falsehood wherever the
enemy are disseminating it. Many who
do not read, or who are not posted on the
law, are prejudiced by this hue and cry
about negro children being in the same
schools.

FrightfuI Accident at q County Fair
Fifty Persons Injured.

BURLINGTON, VI, September 6.-At 4
O'Clock this afternoon a frightful accident
occurred during the races at the Chitten-
den County Fair Grounds, in this city.
The seats, arranged in the form of an am
p%hitheatre, while densely crowded with
spectators, fell to the ground with a fearful
crash, bringing down with them over three
thousand people, over fifty of whom were
injured, some it is supposed fatally, and
many with broken limbs. The structure
was over thirty feet high. That more were
not injured is miraculous.

Case OF Judge Acknowledgement
HOlt-Au Expected Ducl-More De,
mands for Cabinet Changes.
WASHINGTON, September SIT is nm.
derstood that delay in action upon the
matter of the removal or SUSPENSION Of
Judge Holt is caused by doubts as to tho
proper construction of the law creating the
Bureau OF Military Justice and the Office
of Judge Advocated General.
The act is in certain particulars regard
ed by some as a sort of hybrid, p]artaking
both Of the civil and military. and the diff.
hculty is found in determining from its
language whether, in order to relieve or re-
move the Judge Advocate General, hemust
be regularly tried and convicted upon
charges before a military court, or whether
he can be relieved from duty by a simple
order of the President, or, further, whether
his case comes within the rules of the
tenure of civil Office act. The question
will probably be held under Amusement
until an opinion can be obtained Of Mr..
Stanbery, who is expected here on Tues
day next.
A duel is threatened between two mill
tary officers in this city, respectively Of
the Fifth and Twelfth regiments of regu-
lars. The difficulty Immediately arises
out Of the fact hat one Of these officers
slapped the other in the face, but remotely
a woman is in the affair. Friends Of the
parties are making efforts to prevent 8
hostile meeting.
Another delegation of Democrats called
upon the President yesterday and de-
manded that certain changes in the Cabi-
net shall be made Immediately in order
TO assure the voters of New York, Penn
sylvania, and Ohio. They ask that Mr..
Seward shall be the first disposed of. In
all instances Mr.. Seward is included in
the list of removals urged. The efforts
against Mr.. McCulloch and Governor
Randall have subsidized. The President
promised to give the subject his early con-
sideration. DATA.
