ABurgIar Shet-Dfsorderly Proceedings.
MEMPHIS, June 5.-Anderson Boyd was
shot and fatally wounded this morn
ing by Officer Jenny, who was attempting
to arrest him for burglariziDg Stanton 4
Moore's store. His partner Stephen Ray,
was also arrested. A considerable quantity
of goods was found on him.
Some weeks ago Mayor Logue appointed
several negroes TO take charge Of the hose
carriage in Chelsea, which was bitterly Op-
posed by the fremen and annulled by the
general council. Since the feeling has been
growing worse, aud last Sunday, IN dis
pute about the civil rights bill, Thomas
Farrell was dangerously cut by negro
with a razor Some of his friends, among
them number Of firemen, seized him and
doubtless would have lynched him but for
an alarm of fire. RiOtoue proceedings on
decoration day ana the subsequent arrest
OF Thomas Swami. president OF the pail
bearers, and leading cOlored politician,
has embittered the negroes. Vague rumors
of riots and attacks by the blacks In re-
venge have been current for day or two,
which have been caused by the clustering
bravado Of few worthless negroes to that
effect Most members of the Pail Bearers
Association served in the Union army, and
by some means they have secured Spring
field rifles.
The Ledger asserts positively that last
night $50 OF them were drilling beyond
Chelsea, from eleven TO three o'clock, and
| had pickets thrown out who halted several
| persons and prevented any one approaching.
Although no trouble is apprehended seri-
ously BY citizens. or the better class OF col
! ored people, any ilnprudence on either side
| might cause serious trouble. The exag-
| gerated ideas of the most ignorant negroes
cause them to assert that John Jefferson,
convicted of brutally numbering a colored
fellow-laborer, can not be hung, owing to
the civil rights bill.
