yIcKsBURG, MISS, Dec. 1O.-An is quiet
In the city and county. The county authori-
ties have buried the bodies of IA negroes
and about the same number were buried
by private individuals. The white citizens

which are negroes except one. An election
for sheriff on December 81 has been ordered
and gives general satisfaction. The

requesting the citizens to resume
their usual avocations. ia an interview OF

tured, all OF whom, except four of the
leaders, have been released and permitted
TO go home. The statement goes on TO say
that the prisoners say that they came to the
city under
ORDERS FROM CROSBY,
who gave Ames as his authority for calling
them out. The address concludes thus:
"Upon this record the people OF Warren
county are willing TO receive the Judgment
of the country. From it they feel that their
fair minded fellow-citizens everywhere must
inevitably contend that for several wears
past our county government has been IL the
hands OF Ignorant and corrupt officials, who
with one or two exceptions have plundered
the public treasury, and set the laws and
rights OF the people ar defiance. These Off
cials OF late have been so banded together az
to effectually deprive the people of the reme-
dies provided by law for their protection, and
TO secure for themselves comparative immu-
nifty from punishment for their crimes In
Their crusade against the rights of the people.
These officials have received the countenance
and support OF the governor and others
OF high authority in the state government
The governor has himself twice invaded
their rights in open violation of the state
laws and constitution, by assuming to fill by
executive appointment an office made cleo
tive by the people. All these officials have
been republicans and nearly all of them of
the colored race and not one has even been
molested in his office by reason of politics or
his color. Our people had endured
these evils in spirit OF forbear-
ance until forbearance ceased to
be virtue, and they were impelled TO re-
sistsnce by the instinct of self. preservation. |
They assembled psaceably, and, as the sur
est means of attaining security, demanded |
of these faithless stewards that they resign |
the trusts confided to them. Failing in |
this, they resorted to the remedy by injunc- |
ton in equity in so far as it was in it's ma
ture available TO their case. These pescea- |
ble measures on their part were met by a |
scheme of violence and bloodshed in which |
the lives of themselves and their families |
were imperilied and they were obliged To |
take TO arms in their defense. In this |
scheme their county officials we're aided, |
counselled and encouraged by the gov |
ernCr of the state, and through |
his influence by other officers /
of the state government, civil and |
military, The citizens of Vicksburg in re- |
sisting the assaults made upon their homes, /
captured number OF the assailants and l
arrested the sheriff who had melted them |
to this riot. and out of respect to the laws /
and regard for human life no violence was /
done to any of them. The sheriff has finally /
and freely resigned his Office, and a new |
election has been ordered, ana peace and |
quiet restored in our county. There is there |
fore no reason why the the state should be |
subjected to the expense of an extra session |

TIITON,S TRIALS.

A BILL OF PARTICULARS GRANTED-THE
JUDGE PREsCRIBEs THE STYLE OF THE BILL
BEEcIIER wRoTH AT THE PROCTOR COM
PROMISE.
NEW YORK, Dec. l1.-Judge McCue, in the
City Court of Brooklyn this afternoon, or
dered the bill of particulars asked for
by Beecher in the suit brought against him
by Tilton He said: "I am of the opinion,
first, that the plaintiff should be limited as
to his proofs OF specific acts of
adultery to those named by him
in bis bill of particulars. This order is not
to be construed as prohibiting the plaintiff
from introducing on the trial of this action
testimony which may be admissible under
the general rules of evidence as to any acts
other than the specific acts of adultery,
fessions, in which alleged confessions no
particular time or placs shall have been re-
ierred to-" The trial has been postponed
until the first Monday of the January term.
The details Of the compromise OF the Moulton
suit show that it was arranged without the
knowledge of Beecher's lawyers, and greatly
to Beecher's indignation at not being per-
mitted TO testify and deny explicitly that
he had ever given MOuiton the infor-
nation on which he based his libel. AL
though thus settled. the friends of Miss
Proctor do not admit that they acted in any
hostility to Beecher, and many of the lat
ter's friends express themselves pleased at
the result, as removing one obstacle to
reaching the main issue in the City Court.

Our citizens were called under arms at 8
O'Clock this morning. Negroes advanced on

an attack on the Cherry street outskirts.
They were driven back with n loss OF four

The following telegram has bsen received
at Gen. Emery's headquarters:
JACKSON, MISS, Dec. Z.
Major L. p. Platt, Adjutant-General, Depart
ment of the Gulf, New Orleans:
Adjutant-General Packer reports TO Gov.
Ames from Vicksburg by telegraph that
riot and fighting began at this morning;
that the militia are powerless to obtain
order; that a mob had possession Of the
sheriff's person, and holds the court house
with an armed force. The extent of the
fighting not yet known.

A Bulletin special from Vicksburg says
that seven hnndred negroes attacked the
city this morning on three roads. They
were driven back by the citizens with a loss
of twenty-five killed and wounded and
forty prisoners. The whites lost one killed
and two wounded. The attack was made
for the purpose of reinstating Crosby, the
sheriff, who was requested to. resign, be-
cause he had not given any bond. The ne
groes in the country are reported to be burn

get, and that Crosby gave Ames as his au-
thoritY for calling out the negroes. Crosby
says that Ames and Attorney General Har-
ris advised him to call posse to reinstate
him in Office but that he did not do it, and
disclams any responsibility for the three
columns which marched on Vicksburg.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-A Jackson Miss.)
special says that the proclamation of Gov.
Ames, convening the legislature, is almost
unanimously condemned. T. w. Cardoza,
than whom no man has done more to create
this trouble, declares that the race conflict IS
now upon US, and the negro women are
ready to commence with AK and knife TO
slaughter the white women and children. One
remarkable tact should be noted. Only the
country negroes have been drawn into the
demonstrations. The town negroes are too
smart to be duped by their leaders. The
actual number OF negroes killed in Mon
days fight Is probably one hundred and
fiftv. Forty-eight were buried in one field
yesterday.

Government Intimidation in
1l0Ja7RO.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, October 19.-One
month ago the Sheriff of Sumter county
summoned posse of forty-two men to
suppress negro riot at Belmont. The
rioters dispersed without waiting for the
arrival of the posse and the posse was
disbanded. A little negro who carried
the United States mail on mule was
detained few minutes on the road by
the posse to prevent unnecessary spread
of excitement in other and quiet settle
ments. Afterwards this posse was ar
rested as Ku Klux, and also for stopping
the United States mail, and are now re-
leased on bond of 500 each.
Large numbers Of men are summoned
to appear before the United States Court
in Huntsville, on the extreme northern
border of the State, early in November.
1t is also reported that from three hun
dred to five hundred warrants have been
issued for the arrest of parties in dis
tricts where no disorders have been re-
ported. Multitudes of deputy marshals
are being appointed on the recommenda-
tion of Charles Mayer, Chairman of the
Republican State Executive Committee,
but the State was never more quiet.

NEW York, Oct. 10.-Thc trustees

their annual meeting at the Fifth Ave

report of the general agent was read
giving the business of the past year
in detail, and shows favorable result.
Hon. William M Evarts read report
of the committee appointed on the
subject of education. The report con-
sidcred the prospects and hopes of the
public system of education at the South
will receive serious if not a fatal blow
from any legislation which should
make such system maintainahle only
on the scheme of mixed schools, and
that while justice and public duty in
the interests of both the white and col
orcd people of the South concur in de
manding system of public education
which should give equal opportunities
yet no such IA result would be attained
by legislation of such a character in

of your lady readers, who arc. supposed
to be especially curious on such topics, l
may say that Miss Sullivan is of the
blonde type, with considerable color, and
tall and slender in figure. She is not
strictly pretty, but has open, agreeable
countenance and makes up in style what
she may lack in beauty. This young

Marvellous Fc0fs aCith q SacOrd.

Here is a new stage sensation: Mons.
D'Omer, aided by Mile ID. Omer, perform
cd number of feats, evincing his dexter
ity with the sword. A description of
of some of his most difficult performances
may prove interesting:
A large apple which had been thrown
forcibly upon the stage to prove its
soundness, was placed in white hand
kerchief, the four ends of which were
tied to string hanging from the end of
u stick held by Mile. D.O'mcr, The
swordsman then dealt a rapid stroke up
on the handkerchief with sharp-edged
sword and then took from the handker-
chief slice of the apple, second stroke
severed the apple in two, and yet the
handkerchief was not cut. Again he at
tached an apple by the stem to twine,
suspended as above described, and by a
blow from right to left severed the twine,
and by rapid blow from left to right
severed the apple in halves ere it touch
ed the stage. He then took lemon and
placed it upon the bare flesh at the nape
of Mile. ID O'mer's neck, and by quick
stroke of n very sharp sword he cut it
| cleanly in halves without leaving q mark
upon the lady's neck. Then to prove that
| the sword he had used in that trick had
an edge as sharp as n razor, he folded
pocket handkerchief in twelve thickness.
es and laid it upon the edge of the sword
, by one rapid movement of thesword in the
air the handkerchief fell upon the stage
cut completely through. Then using Z
bow gun, he shot an arrow through al
apple placed upon Mile. D'Omer's head
he standing on the opposite side OF the
stage, and both parties being in full view
of the audience. Their performances
closed with an exhibition Of the mani,

fused. Mile. D'Omer proved to be a skill
full boxer, and got in some very telling
blows upon the head and face of her op
ponent, while she parried with grace ant
agility those aimed mt herself. Both wer'
loudly applauded during their variou
rounds, and recalled at the close Of thei
feats.

From the Washington National Rept.Jlicdn
Grants Home Oryrf. : wa
The NeW York Times not "Reli-
able"

eve notice that the New York
Times, which claimed to be Republi-
can in sentiment, feeling and purpose,
takes every possible occasion to,pooh-
pooh all that is said to warn the cOun
try against the White League terror
that now reigns in Louisiana, Alaba-
ma and Georgia. And in view of its
own position IL makes up piteous
face because it is not accepted and re-
spected everywhere as II reliable
mouthpiecc of the Republican party.
The people understand the Times and
its drift, and it should begin to under
stand its true position. They estimate its
character by its own conduct. They dis
cover that there is great need of put
ting u head on 1t, for it has had none
that is level or reliable since the
death of the lameuted Raymond. 1t is
not guided by principle, neither does
it seem to have higher purpose of
action than what comes of its own
egotism.
"Thc Times at present affords a sad
example of what may come of II re-
spectacle and influential journal by its
falling under the editorial control of
one whose sclf-conceit leaves him far
above and outside to the range of the
political party with which it pretcnds
TO affiliate. 1t teaches the lesson that
ii is not safe to intrust the interests OF
Il party of freedom and progress in
the hands of foreigner by birth, in
stinct and education, whose self-con.
ceit leads him to dcspise the American
masses, and whose political training
has been such as to blind his under
standing of American interests, politi-
cally and socially, and disqualify him
as safe leader. He neither under
stands the opinions and interests of the
American people, nor cares whether
his inculcations are profitable to the
party whose cause he processes to cs-
pouse. In fact, he has no sympathy
with American institution, nor cares
whether they stand or fall. This, in
his opinion, is q 'blarsted country, and
hence not worth saving from peril,
revolution and otherthrow."
