How About Those Arms.
How were they Obtained '---who Obtained them |!
.--Further Particular.

The city has been for several days in a
states ofgreat excitement over the large
shipment of arms which arrived here by the
steamer Belle Memphis on the morning of
the 9th inst. We gave, at the time,
detailed statement as to the number Of
cases containing the weapons, and such
other facts as We could then CLEAN in the
Premises. As we then informed our read
ers, the arms are ostensibly for the State
Government of Arkansas, whose agents,
several in number, came down the river
with them, and are now in this city, wait
ng an opportunity of shipping them to
their destination. The names of these
agents are 1. L. Hodges, who halls from
Little Rock; John G. Bennett, of Hele-
ma; S. NJ. Newell, of Napoleon; Chas. G.
Waters and l. l.. Griffith, of Helena, and
a. Mcdonald, United States Senator from
Arkansas. On their arrival in this city
they could find no boat in the Arkansas
trade that was willing to take their
freight, and they were compelled to store
the cases in the warehouse of Conner &
Richardson. We understand that these
gentlemen have received positive instruc-
tions from the State Government of Ar
kansas to ship them as soon as possible to
Keys DanfOrth, Adjutant General of that
State.
There seems therefore, to be but little
room for doubt that these arms are really
intended for Clayton and his negro myr-
midons, and are to be employed in inau-
gurating civil war, and for the murder of
the weaponless and defencless whites.
The question then naturally arises, where
were they obtained, and by what authori-
ty they are being furnished to the Gov
ernment of Arkansas.
The boxes bear the mark of the U. s..
Government Inspector, the United States
mark, and the mark of the United States
arms agency of New York. If not OBJ
tanned surreptitiously from the arsenal at
Detroit, where then? We would like any
one of the persons named in connection
with this matter-either Senator Melon
aid, Conner & Richardson, or any the
leading Radicals of Memphis, who we un-
dcrstand to be in the secret, to enlighten
this public as to how these arms we're sto-
len, or purchased, and for what purpose in
tended, if not, as has been intimated to
us, for the purpose of arming the negro
radicals of Arkansas against the white peo-
pie and by intimidation, or murder, If
necessary, carry that state for the candi-
dates Of the radical party.
