Lynch Law at NeshOba-The Shooting
Of Tobias and his Clerk at
Milliken's Bend.

The Vicksburg Herald received a call
Friday from Mr.. ID. Tobias, the gentle
man referred to as having been shot by
a party Of dissatisfied planters at Mill
ken's BEND, because he refused to sign
an agreeff1snt, circulated by them, not
to purchase any cotton from negroes
after dark. Such an agreement, Mr..
Tobias states, was circulated among the
merchants and signed by most Of them
but that he and some others refused to
sign it, believing that they had a right
to purchase cotton at whatever time
they pleased. On Tuesday night last a
party Of men came to his store, but ne
did not believe they were planters, at
least not all Of them, and raped up the
clerk, Mr.. Tobias and all the persons
about the store having retired, 1t being
nearly four o'clock in the morning. AS
soon as the clerk, Mr.. Henry Whitmani
opened the door, the party, four in num-
ber, and partially disguised, rushed in and
seized him, filling his eyes and face with
snuff, which they threw at him as
they entered. The struggle and screams
of the clerk awakened MIR. Tobias, who
was sleeping in an adjoining room, and
gathering a spade, the only weapon he
could find about the place, he rushed
around on the outside of the house to
assist Mr.. Whitman in warding off his
assailants. BY the time Mr.. Tobias
reached the scene shots were being fired
all around the place. He discovered one
man in the gallery, and started for him,
when the man jumped down and he
started in pursuit. He had not gone
far, he says, when he was shot from the
rear, he thinks from under the house,
the ball taking effect in his right thigh,
a little below the backbone. At this
time a wagon was standing in front Of
the premises loaded with two bales Of
cotton, and this cotton the raiders cut
open and set on fire and then decamped.
Going into his room, Tobias dispatched
a messenger for a physician, and had
his own wounds and those Of
his clerk attended to. Upon examina-
ton, it was found that the ball
which struck Tobias had ranged down.
ward and lodged in his thigh, inflicting
a painful but not serious wound. The
ball has not yet been, and perhaps can
not be, extracted. Mr.. Whitman was
more seriously injured. having received
several severe cuts about the face and
head, and his throat was severely in
jured by the attempts to strangle him.
Meanwhile the cotton was steadily burn
log, and all efforts TO extinguish the
flames proved unavailing. Who the
parties were who made the cowardly at
tack is unknown, but it is believed that
personal spite, or worse motives still,
prompted the raid, though there is no
evidence of any attempt at plunder.
The better class Of citizens depreeate the
affair and denOunce the participants in
unmeasured terms. No arrests have
been made.

Tho Sailors and the sLnnd Sharks
Jack is not noted for thrift. He is brave
and generous, faithful to his obligations and
credulous of sincerity in others. But after
his hard work is done, his exposure to hard
ship and danger over, he is apt to squander
his hard earnings with lavish hand and sur
render to dishonest custody the wages which
should provide for his own comfort and the
support of those dear to him. Since sailors
first came ashore with money in their pockets
there has not ceased to be Gland sharks" who,
in the character of boarding masters have
relentlessly robbed Jack. They not only
sscleaned him out" but have established
system of "ick" for him, which mortgages
his future industry. He is made to run
up bill as honest as those the old
Tamma-y Ring charged to the Court House
fund; then by the aid of Fourth ward
rum, the almost or quite unconscious seaman
is sold and delivered to shipmaster whose
craft is ready to begin her voyage, the board
ing master getting payment of his very honest
account and Jack getting the chance, by a
long term of toll, to pay for few days Spree
In the hands of the Gland shark Jack is no
more able to take his own part than q worried
mouse to thrive under the care of an active
Grimalkin. Congress in its wisdom undertook
to protect the sailors from the sharks 1t es-
tablished in New York and other ports Ship

masters of American ships engaged in foreign
trade could ship men and pay off seamen. The

certificates by which they may discharge their
actual debts, the certificates being paid
ten days after the debtor has started
on his voyage. This does not satisfy the hun
cry boarding masters, who have combined to
resist the law by embarrassing and overawing
the Commissioner. So violent have they been
in their proceedings that the Commissioner
has found it necessary to lay the case before
the Grand Jury. Indictments have been
found against large number of these men,
who are mostly keepers of boarding houses
near the wharves About fifty Of them spent
Friday night in the Oak street police station,
and we're yesterday brought to the City Hall,
when Recorder Hackett allowed them to give
bail for their appearance in Court to answer
the indictments when called. 1t is clear that
these men must submit to the law If, on
trial, their guilt is established, there is no
doubt the Court will fully discharge its duty
in inflicting such penalties as shall convince
the culprits that there is vitality in the law
and an earnest determination on the part of
the Judiciary to protect sailors against the
rapacity of their false friends-the boarding
house sharks.
