E!GTIN MOBILE.
Three Killed and Eleven Wounded.
The Negroes Well Armed.

From the Mobile Register, August t..
During the whole ofyesterday rumors
were i'm circulation on the streets that
the negroes intended, at the meeting to
come off i'm the evening at the corner
of Government and Royal streets, got
ten up i'm honor of the election of Buck,
to create riot. This seemed to he the
intention of the negroes, for short
time before eight o'clock large number
of them armed with muskets, marched
i'm procession to the corner OF Royal and
Government streets, Upon their at
tention being called to the fact. Buck
and Hurter took the muskets away
from the negroes, but what disposition
was made of them is not known.
From the manner in which the ne
groes conducted themselves, Mayor
Price apprehended a disturbance, and
by his request, detachment of Sd In
fantry were placed at his disposition,
ard were posted at the guardhouse, in
the vicinity of the meeting.
At o'clock, large number of ne
groes and fair sprinkling ofwhites had
assembled on the ground. The meet
ing was called to order, and Griffin
delivered a speech. Others followed
him, and about 10 o'clock, while H.
Raw Myers was speaking, White man
i'm the crowd cried out, "Hurrah for
Manu. A crowd of excited negroes
pressed upon him, cheering for Buck.
Al this juucture pistol was fired in
the air. causing great excitement and
commotion. Other shots followed i'm
rapid succession, and In few minutes
the firing became general, and heavy
skirmish ensued. The majority of the
whites and blacks fled i'm all directions:
Some few held their ground and kept
up a scattering fire, In few minutes
the firing ceased, the negroes having
fled up Government street. During
firing the troops remained under arms
at the guardhouse, awaiting orders.
After the skirmish few scattering
shots being heard up Dauphin street,
the troops, under the direction of Mayor
Price. marched in that direction, and,
after promptly securing that part ofthe
CITY and vicinity, found everything
quiet. Upon hearing tbs rapid dischar-
ges of firearms, reinforcement of
Seventy soldiers was quickly dispatched
to the scene of disturbance, but too late
TO he of any avail. During the fight
the police under Col. Milne, did good
service. and the list of causualties show
n number of them wounded. The
speakers and the white Radicals, who
have for SO long a time been endeavor-
ing to stir up strife between the whites
and blacks, as usual succeeded in
escaping unhurt. They sneaked off
like ours, deserving their dupes and /
leaving them to take care of themselves. |
They rolled off the stand i'm manner |
that would have done credit to Kelly |
and a New York Herald reporter. 1t |
was at the same place that these wor-
thies distinguished themselves during |
the so-called Kelly riot.
1t is impossible at this late hour of the |
night to give full details of the affair. !
At this writing-2 A. NJ the city is
perfectly quiet, and no further outbreak
is apprehended. Three negroes were
killed and eleven wounded.

The Iron-Clad Oath I'm Virginia.

The New York Times says the Repub-
lican Press is almost unanimous against
Gen. Canby's proposal to exact the
iron-clad oath from the members elect
Of the Virginia Legislature. Much Is
said I'm favor of amnesty; but the pre-
prevailing argument is that which the
indianapolis Journal condenses into a
nutshell:
"The fact that the government au-
thorized the people of Virginia to vote
upon that part of the new constitution
establishing the test oath separately,
and that it was voted down by an
overwhelming majority, would seem
To imply that it ought not to be required
of a Legislature which has its life in
that constitution, and acts under its
authority.

Two Pa isian Ideas.

In Paris two new inventions for To-
comotion have been brought out. One
has been tested, since it was but an adap-
tation of locomotive to ordinary roads
and the other, which partially succeed
ed, is kind of velocipede for six per-
sons, which will move by the simple
weight of those upon it. These, with
an electric voting machine, which has
been offered to the Chamber, and which
Is the invention of an American, are
the great industrial hopes of the mo,
ment. The electric machine would
enable all the votes of the Corps Legis-
Jatif to be taken in minute, an opera
fion which new requires an bour. This
new velocipede will excel the railroads,
the horses, and its father, the humble
velocipe lie of the present day. 1t will

Shall There be q Convention?

From the Knoxville Press and Herald.
Before the election, We supposed that
one of the main objects of the election
of Senter and a Legislature in accor-
dance with his views on the suffrage
question, was to secure the calling of a
convention to amend our constitution
and purge it from the vindictive clauses
added while the passions excited by
the war We're still raging.
The canvass has developed so many
things calculated to excite 3stonish-
ment that we are scarcely capable of
wondering at anything more; but, cal
!ollsed as we have been by frequent and
startling sensations, it is Impossible not
to entertain feeling of mild surprise
to find movement going Oh in some
parts of the State in opposition to a
convention. The Nashville Banner on
Thursday printed communication,
whose author it endorses as ian old
and respected citizen of Vest Tonnes
see,n disappearing the proposed con-
yention, on the ground that it was not
necessary.
The Avalanche and other papers of the
western division, are urgent for the
calling of a convention. While it
seems to us from our present lights that
tbe legitimate results of the election
can only Ike obtained by a convention,
and that if the fears we have indicated
above are well founded (which we do
not believe, then the policy of enfran-
cbisement was dangerous experiment
(Which is untrue), and we agree with
the Banner that the people should give
the subject their sagest reflection, and
discuss it freely and dispassionately
among themselves. The members of
the Legislature will have ample time,
before the assembling of the houses, to
canvass these matters thoroughly
among their constituents. 1t is all
,mnortant that there should be no mis-
take. and no matter what the party
predictions Of any of us may have
been in the past, or may possibly be IN
the future, our present interests is the
welfare and prosperity of Tennessee.

The Nashville Banner and the Mem
phis Ardldnche are trying to raise a
Liberal party. These journals, with
Wing and Democratic records, respect
lively, unite i'm denouncing the Demo
cratic party with all manner of oppro-
brious epithets. They say that that
organization smells of secession, trea-
son, ETC., etc., etc. Well, then, why
have any name al all? As for us, We
would net object to the name of Wing,
if all the people i'm the United States
opposed to Radicalism, and in favor of
peace and constitutional government,
were marshaled under its banners.
But neither the Wing party nor the
Liberal party, recently called from the
Vastly deep by the Banner, would ex-
tend its name beyond the limits of the
State. After it left the beach of Stale
and plunged into the ocean of national
politics, it would he compelled to get
Oh a Radical or Democratic craft.
II the old Line Wings, As they call
themselves, who now are in the assem-
dency In the State, do not like the
rame ofDemocrat, let them call them
selves anything, so that they keep clear
Of Radicalism. We are opposed to the
Radical party, past, present and future.

WIRE CLOTHES LINES.
j. ATENT METALLIC
WHITE WIRE
Clothes Lines.

Being manufactured in such manner, with a
white metallic substance, it is prevented from
ever corrodirg or changing from its beautiful
white color, in any number of yeas OF time.
Ii is nedter affected by different temperature Of
climate, nor by changes Of atmosphere, and
firmly holds its uniform color through the Sc
verest frost and Indictment weather. BY exper-
iment, the utility of the line has been found the
only article which is free from the great an
noyance occurring from the old fashioned Rope
lines, which are continually rotting and break
ing down, soiling and discoloring clothes. BY
using the wire clothes line all trouble is avoid
ed, as YOU are never obliged to take them
down after they are put up as they can be left
ont in all sorts of weather. q
The durability of the line is one Of the great
est cousideratians as it will last from thirty to
fifty years.
Another chief advantage OF this line is that
clothes will not freeze to It in cold weather. nor
will 1t break and let your clothes fall in the
mud. Warranted not to iniure clothes in any
manner.
