The Conshotta Negro Riot.
SHREVEPORT, La, Sept. 1

SHREVEPORT, La, sept. |.
Major A. T. Stephens of De Soto par
ish, who arrived here to-day, furnishes the
following account OF the Conshotta riot,
which is no doubt substantially correct:
1t seems that in Red River parish, where
the negroes are largely in excess of the
whites, much apprehension and alarm has
been felt by the latter on account of
threatened outbreak Of the negroes, insti.
gated, as was generally believed, by Ed
Carton Devices, Twitchel Howell, Willis
Holland and others. The lives of several
respectable white residents OF the parish
had been threatened by the negroes, and
few days ago Mr.. Williams, a respectable
citizen Of the Third ward of Red River
parish was threatened with assassination
by two notorious and desperate negroes
near Brownsville, in the lower edge of the
parish, and was fired at by them with
double barreled shotgun. Last Thursday
night small party Of white men went TO
the cabins of the negroes with the view of
arresting and lodging them in Jail, when
they were fired upon from cabin and
one of the party insanity killed. The
negroes then attempted to run to the
woods, when they were both shot and
killed by the party attempting to make the
arrest. On The next day (Friday) large
body of armed negroes, between 800 and
400 in number, assembled near Browns
vile, swearing vengeance against the whole
white race. and declaring that they would
not leave a white man, woman or child
alive in the parish. This created great ap-
prehension and excitement at Conshotta
and throughout the surrounding country,
and on Friday night the roads leading into
the town were picketed
Two young men, Dickson and Pickets,
who were on one of the carts, halted a
negro who was coming into town with a
sack of bucli-shot. lie paid no attention
to their command to halt and was fired at
by one of the party without effect. They
immediately went into town to report to
their post when they were accosted in the
streets of Conshatta by Homer Twitchell
and two notorious negro desperadoes named
Bosley an Smith, all of whom were
armed. They hal few moments conversa-
ton with them, not of a violent nature, land
had turned to proceed to their post when
they were fired upon twice by the party
from Peor, without warning. Dickson
was d vigorously, il not mortally wounded,
and he now lies in very critical condition.
Perkins escaped unhurt The firing party
then ran off. Basley and Smith escaped
altogether

The result Of the election In Rutland
will be n surprise to our readers. A COM
bination of circumstances beyond the con-
troll of the republicans seemed to have gov
erned the voters. The election OF the
regular re publican nominee was generally
expected by all parties on the first ballot.
The democratic nominee, Mr.. N. f. Page,
showed strength from the first, and all at
tempted divisions only tended to give his
friends more confidence. The most that
can be said is, "We met the enemy and
got licked" The result shows the weak.
moss of party lines, and that the people
hereafter arc to go where their convictions
lead them without reference to party.
Mr.. Nathaniel F. Page, the representative
elect, is democrat of the straightest sect.
He Is a mechanic employed IN the railroad
shops, and received large following from
the labor interests. He is an estimablc
gentleman personally, man of good
judgment, independent in all his opinions
who thinks and acts for himself. Self re-
liant he will form his judgment of public
matters and will act in accordance there
with. Thus much is due to Mr.. Page, who
has found himself thrown into a
position which he little expected TO
fill when yesterday mornings sun arose.
Such are the mutations of politics. and the
democrats of Rutland arc greatly rejoiced
at their victory, and well they may be, for
such opportunities do not come to them
every year, and we are bound to say they
won the victory honorably and fairly.
Hon. Martin G. Evcrts-wthout his
consent thereto-has been elected states
attorney over the regular nominee by from
five to seven hundred majority. This re-
suit is due to causes well known, and, for
aught we know, has been accomplished by
fair and honorable canvass, participated
in by some of the most prominent and
highly respected republicans of the county.
The temperance issue has been involved
in this canvass, and several of the strongest
temperance towns have given Judge Everts
the largest majorities.

severe Accident.

AS Mr. Matt. Ames, n farmer who re-
sides in West Rutland, near Whlpple liol-
low, was riding home last evening after the
close OF the town meeting, and while cross
ing the railroad track on West street, his
horse and wagon was struck by the engine
OF q passing train and he Yves thrown vio-
lently to the ground. Fortunately he was
not struck by the train and thereby escaped
with his life, white his horse was killed.
He returned to the Bardwell House with
some friends who were near by when the
accident occurred, and on arriving it was
found that his injuries were not of a
serious nature, although his face and hands
were covered with blood from bruises he
received. He was conveyed home, soon

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
A Review of The Situation.

WHITE RIVER JuScTioS, Sept. /
The biennial election OF the state took
place to-day. The republicans voting for
Hon. Ashael Peck for governor and the
democrats for Hon. w. II: II. Bingham.
The political season has been an uncom-
monty dull one, aud az consequence the
vote Of to-day has been light one, ex-
cepting in the second congressional dis
trict, where there is a bolt. Returns come
in very slow this evening, so that ut 12
o'clock reports of the popular vote have
been received from only 12 towns, repre-
senting about one-thrd of the vote Of tie
state of a full ballot. Not for a score or
more of years have the voters been so re-
fractory or the voting so irregular.
The bolt in the second congressional dis
trict has probably resulted in no choice.
AT this ballot the candidates are Hon. l..
l.. p Poland, the present incumbent and
regular nominee, and Hon. D. G. Denison,
boiling republican, and Hon c. n Davcn-
port, democrat. Behind these Col j. i.
Mead, granger, has something of vote.
The upshot of 1t is atthirly towns give
Poland 1856 Dcnnison 3.401 Davenport
and scattering, 1908.
There are 1G2 towns in the district, and
there is still room to hope for the election
of Judge Poland, but the indications are
against him. This same refractory spirit
has been manifested to q considerable ox-
tent in the counties, and even in the towns.
In the latter the regular nominees have
been subject to the same disregard and
compromise, or boiling candidates elected.
The governors vote in the towns reported
stands for Peck IA, 339, and for Bingham
5,102. To the senate the straight-out can
didates are probably chosen in all cases,
except in Franklin county, where Mr..
Leach is defeated by Victor Atwood,
| democrat.
The house will be a body of consider
able ability. H. II. Powers Of Norris
town, Park Davis of st. Adams, W. w.
Grout of Barton, p. W. Hyde of Cistleton
are among the names noticeable for ability.
The governor vote in towns is ms follows :;
Addison, Peck 169, Bingham 3 Middle
bury, Peck 466, Bingham 10 New Haven,
Peck $50, Bingham 81 Salisbury, Peck
172, Bingham 8; Bennington, Peck 800,
Bingham 276; st. Johnsbury, Peck 700,
Bingham 9S Lyndon, Peck 2l2, Bingham
1893; St. Adams. Peck 901 Bingham, 2S3 :;
Stowe, Mr.. Bingham's home, gives Peck
SO and Bingham 259 Rutland, Peck, 63G
Bingham, 413; Brattlcboro. Peck, 3Si ;
Bingham, 50.
In the first and third congressional dis
tricts Hon. Geo. W. lIendee and Col.
Charles II. Joyce are chosen to congress
by large majorties.

rectly in front of the Bates House. After

that had characterized the days proceed

ance, armed with brooms, and every per-
son having in his hands horn, from which
they kept up continual hooting. This
band treated the office of the little sheet
"around the corner" with loud and
hearty serenade, it being understood that
they were rejoicing over the election of
Hon. NJ. G. Everis TO The position of
states attorney.
The proceedings ut the park being
brought to Il close procession was formed

lowed by L. Dawley, who gave one
of his characteristic speeches, at the close
of which the crowd, headed by the band
proceeded to Merchants row and serenade(
the Bates house, Bardwel and Contra

hour, and the democrats feel well over thu

The Black hills expedition. after COM
pleting the exploration of the Black hills,
returned to this post yesterday by way of
the Little Missouri and Heart rivers, ex-
ploring the valley of the Little Missouri,
the greater portion of this stream having
meyer been visited by white men before.
The valley contains 4 large area of rich
and valuable soil, and is well timbered.
The expedition encountered no hostile H.
dians from its departure from this post.
The explorers are well satisfied with the
prospects, and are ready to conduct an ex-
petition into the new Edorado as soon as
the Indian title is eXtinguishcd, or as soon
as they are satisfied that the government
will not interfere. The impression scncr-
ally prevails that it will be impossible 70
prevent parties from occupying the coun-
try, because they will seek to enter it from
every quarter-from east, west and south,
as well as from Bismarck. Gold in unlim-
tied quantities was discovered at various
points; also silver and galena, plumbago,
mountains of iron and irexhaustblc beds
OF gypsum.
