OUTRAGEs BY NEGROES ON THE JACKSON RAIL-
RoAD.-Wm. Glover, a negro man. employed az q
house servant by Mr. Frank Foucher on his plan
taiion at Kenner statioo, back of Bayou La
branch. presented himself at the recorders court
of the First District yesterday, demanding for
protection and redress for outrages of which he
has been the victim recently. Glover states that
on Tuesday, week ago, several negro men, en-
gagged by Mr.. Foucber in making cross-ties for
the railroad, the leaders of whom are called Sam,
Park John Glssscock and Henry Williams ali ~
Lincoln, came to him and urged him TO become a
member of secret society organized by them,
the avowed purpose, as stated by Williams, of
which is to kill the whites and rebel negroes, or
drive them away from the neighborhood. Glover
says that, being a Catholic, and withal opposed
to mixing In politics or aliIiating with any men of
the stripe of those who addressed him, he refused
TO Join their society. Since that time his life has
never been safe, and from the threats and actions
of the plotters, who have watched him constantly
to kill him, he has even feared to leave the house
of his employer who shared his apprehensions.
On Saturday last, on the pretext that Glover
had been diating upon their robberies of cattle
In the neighborhood, the gang. composed Of
about twenty negroes, armed with knives, axes
shot guns and muskets, twice forcibly entered
the house Of Mr.. Foucher and dragging Glover
out, tore his clothes of his body, laid him naked
on the highroad, and beat and whipped him most
unmercifully, leaving him for dead. ALI this IN
the presence Of a few unarmed white men. who
were powerless to defend him, and threatened to
be treated in the same way should they inter
fere. The negroes named are said to be Of the
most dangerous character, and their whole time
is given to stealing and staying the cattle, milking
the cows of the planters, and committing all sorts
of depredations. The locality is inhabited by
! very few whites, about eight Of whom are Irish
men employed at the station by the railroad CON-
pany, who can do nothing towards redressing
these outrsges. their number being too small to
o1er any resistance. Ills state of affairs. If
truly reported, needs the immediate attention of
the military authority.
