The declaration is made that Mace and
Coburn had several friendly and private in
terviews before either of them left New
York to go into training for the fight, and
that II was there privately arranged that
the affair was to be "barney:" that, in
fact, there was a mutual agreement that
neither should whip the other.
lhe declaration is made that these sus-

after these interviews were held, and that

ton was at first evaded, and subsequently,
when pressed, answered in the affirmative
Dissatisfied sporting men assert that the

In the United States Commissioner Court,
before Commissioner Weller, the case of the
United States VS.. John w. Cheney came up
yesterday morning. The defendant. was
brought before the court, charged with kill
ing some person, whose name is unknown.
on the twenty ninth ultimo. while on board
the steamer Great Republic, then on her
downward trip from Memphis to New Or
leans.
From what we could learn, it appears
that while the steamer Robert E. Lee was
going up the river, twenty or thirty miles
below Baton Rouge, the mate of that YES
sci killed one Of the deck hands and was
put ashore, together with four other men,
who took the body of the dead man and
buried it, The mate made his escape.
The four men then got on board the Great
Republic when she came down. The crew
OF this vessel were in state Of great OK
cltement against the man Cheney, who was
deck passenger, because he had charped
them with stealing an Overcoat. They
hustled him about the deck, attacking him
IN body with cotton hooks, and he in re-
turn fired two shots, killing one of the
roustabOuts and wOunding another,
Cheney then sought refuge in the cabin,
and was taken under the protection of the
captain and passengers.
About three o'clock on Thursday morning
the Great Republic arrived in this city. and
Cheney was taken in custody by the har-
Dor police, and yesterday taken before
Commissioner Weller. The commissioner
decided that the locus in quo was outside of
his jurisdiction, and turned the prisoner
over to the police.

| EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
A special messenger sent by Captain
Ward, OF the State militia, brings intelli-
gence that on Saturday night last band of
ku kiux attacked some colored citizens
living on the Bayou Darr6, some seven
miles from Colfax, with the avowed pur-
pose of driving them out or killing them.
The colored men fred upon the assaulting
party, killing one JEFF Yawn, and captured
one of the ku-klux named John Bullock
fawn was notorious and bad character,
and in my official position have, upon the
informations made under oath, issued some
five or SIX warrants for his arrest within the
past twelve months. for beating and whip
ping colored people. Sheriff Shelby and
his deputy. c. c. Nash. would never arrest
him, thereby showing their affiliation with
that party and klan existing in Grant and
adjacent parishes.
Iawn. when killed, had on the regalia Of
the ku-klux, as is stated by the party un-
der arrest at CoitaX
John Bullock told the militia at Colfax
that no man was safe: that the country was
in bad condition. and if they would pro-
tect him he would made voluntary de-
claration under oath, developing all the
facts and parties engaged in burning the
houses Of Judge Phillips and others, and in
the murder of Delos W. White. recorder.
and tue maltreating and whipping of col
ored citizens
He makes a free confession, and gives
their signs and passwords, and states that
he himself is connected with an organization
which has for its purpose the killing or
driving out of all leading white Repub-
l!cans. and the controlling of the suffrage of
the colored voters. He says they are three
hundred and sixty strong, and gives their
names. He says he was with the party that
burned Phillips house, and that C. C. Nash |
was the man who fired the gun which |
killed Recorder White. Having made this |
Confession before justice of the peace, he |
links his own life is now unsafe.
