Special to the Now Orleans Picayune.I
SHREVEPORT, August S.-Considera-
ing excitement has prevailed here for two
days, occasioned by the arbitrary and
tyrannical conduct of Mayor Joseph
Taylor, appointee of Kellogg, who, by
his course, has aroused the feelings OF
every white citizen and great number
OF the negroes. For time collision
was feared, as both parties were armed; !;
but wiser counsel prevailed and blood
shed prevented. A petition was circu-
lated to-day, and signed by nearly every
one, asking Taylor to resign. Finding
affairs getting complicated he finally
concluded TO yield, and handed his res
ignation to the council this evening. Po-
liceman johnson, who was one Of the
chief promoters Of the trouble, was no
titled last evening that his absence
would be acceptable, and left this morn
ing for Texas.

Last Sunday week a negro named
Simons, and another ''man and brother''
whose name we have not learned, played
rather a sharp trick on Mr.. Harvey
Park, at his mills a mile or two below
Pocahontas, on Hatchie river. One of
the ducks represented himself as a saw
yer, and said that he was desirous of a
situation. While Mr.. Park was out
showing him how he did it himself, the
other daTky began to smell around for
something valuable and of a portable
nature. He got his fingers on forty dol
lars in money and fifty-five dollar note
made payable to Mr.. Park by Nelms &
Son. AS soon as the robbery was dis
covered Simons was called to account
and portion Of the money found on his
person, but his companion got off with
the remainder, including the note, and
has not been heard of since. Simons
was brought to Bolivar and placed in
jail.-BOliUdT Bulletin.

The Germans are thoroughly fortify-
ing Alsace-Lorraine. Six new forts
are in process of erection, besides addi-
tional works in the neighborhood of
Srasburg. AL this indicates the firm
determination of Germany never to re-
linquish her hold on the captured prov
inces. The new works are placed beyond
the range of the towns, so that before a
city could be taken, some of the forts
must be captured. All the engineering
skill Of the army corps is being brought
to bear on the perfecting of these bar
riers to French advance.

DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.

We learn that an outlaw, by the name
Of John Melton, entered the house of a
colOred man, named Clabs, living in the
fifteenth district, and finding him alb
sent, forced his children to carry all the
household furniture out in the yard,
and pile it up in heap. He then made
them bring out the family bible, and lay
it on the top of the other articles, and
when all the arrangements were COM
pleted to the satisfaction of this fiend in
human shape, he ordered the children
to bring out fire and ignite their little
all, stating that If they refused he would
cut their heads off with an AK. OF
course, the children obeyed, and soon
all they possessed was heap of ashes
The colored man, it is said, is very in
offensive man, and no one has the slight
est idea of the existence of any cause
for the commission of this foul act

be derelict in our duty should we fail to
disabuse the minds of our country

occasionally have case of cholera in

traced TO some act of imprudence. All

cases of the disease, and Knoxville is as
safe as any place. Come to town, do

FLORIDA BONDS.

The recent unsuccessful attempt of
Comptroller Cowgirl, OF Florida, to
place upon the northern markets the
new State bonds, to which reference
was made some time ago, was a very
severe lesson to those who have the man
agement of Florida finances. The comp
troller was told, in so many words, that
the capitalists of New York had no faith
in the promises of the State to pay, and
no confidence in those under whose au-
spices the bonds were issued. He was re-
minded that the State had never paid
any interest on bonds issued since the
war, and until old scores of this sort were
settled up, the new bonds were unmar-
ketable. 1t is evident that Wall street
is growing wary of those patriotic indi-
viduals who, after the war was over,
packed up box of paper collars and
emigrated to the new Eldorado.-Sd-

CHOLERA IN CHATTANOOGA.


The reports from Chattanooga in ra-
gard to cholera are no more or lesSs favor
able than those published yesterday.
The temperance of the disease is at
tributed to imprudence on the part of
the people-the town being iiIel with
watermelOns and all kinds of vegeta-
bles, and the people eating them very
impTudently. The present visitation of
the disease is confined exclusively 10 ne
groes, and those whose habits of living
are indecent. On Thursday night two
negroes are reported as having died with
cholera, and on Yesterday several deaths
are reported. The railroad engineer at
Rogersville, whose sickness has been
mentioned before, died Thursday even
ing. His case is pronounced as being
that of cholera. AS far as we have been
able to learn, ; the disease at various other
points is gradually abating, and we hear
of no new outbreaks through the coun-
try. The news from Jonesboro grows
more favorable with each day. For for
ty-eight hours ending yesterday noon,
no death had occurred, and there were
strong Indications that the disease is
fast loosing its hold on The desolated
town.-KnOTViLle Press and Herald of

THE OLDEST LIVING MAN.
DR.. Davidson says that "on the farm
of DIR. Scott, on the headWaters of
FOrked-deer river, near Milan, Gibson
county, Tennessee, there lives an old
negro named Fortune Snow, who is in
his one hundred and tl0eRty-fotrtjt gear.
In June, 1872, went to see him; and |
will tell you what l saw when got to the
house. ] met an old snaggled- tooth
amendment gentleman sixty-five years
old, who told me his 'grandpap' was in
the house, who soon came tripping down
the steps as nimble as some fifteen-year-
old boy. He told me he was twenty-five
years old when the revolutionary war
began. He belonged to Captain Snow,
who served during the war under Gen
eral Marion; was born in South Caro-
lima; fought through the war under his
master in nearly every battle. Yet he
never has received a pension from the
best government the world ever saw
He moved from South Carolina to Ala
bama, where he lived fifty-three years,
then came to Tennessee. Captain Snow,
at his death, gave Mr.. Chapman, his
son-in-law, five hundred dollars to sup
port old Fortune the balance of his life;
and this Mr.. Chapman lived on and ON
for forty-seven years, and died and left
old mig still living"
