The Alabama Race Trouble.

MONTGOMERY, August 25.-Reliable in
formation concerning the Choctaw trouble
between the whites and blacks is TO the eff.
feet that the whites were informed the ne
groes were going to sack and burn the town.
Two hundred and fifty whites organized
and got ready, but the negroes did not come
TO time. Some of the leaders were then ar
rested and jailed, when it was found that ne
groes had come among them from Mobile
and New Orleans, and told them that PreSi-
dent Grant had sent authority to organize
companies and seize growing crops.
One Of the ringleaderS was arrested at
camp.meeting in Wilcox county by officers,
assisted by the negroes present at the meet
ing, and jailed.
1t is believed that organized effort is being
made to foment discord and strife among
the races for political effect. The Choctaw
Corner negroes say they bad no grievance to
complain of; they acted only on what they
supposed to be General Grants authority.
