The Affair at Austin n Wicked, Miserable
Fraud-No White Men Hurt; One Peer
Negro Killed-A Despicable Attempt to
InAame the Public Mind Against the
Colored People.
MEMPHIS, August 13-The men who went
to Austin returned this morning, satisfied
that the Austin riot was almost as much q
fiasco as the Somerville one, and that
affairs there had been much exaggerated.
During the entire disturbance one negro
was killed, and no white man even wounded.
Only enc store was sacked by the negroes
during the time they had possession Of the
OF the more boisterous ones, as they seemed
to have no leaders, were arrested and con-
fined in Jail to await trial.
The Only White Blood Split.
As the troops from Austin were coming
up on the steamer st. Genevieve, this morn
ing, they fired off their guns in passing
Fort Pickering, and stray shot struck Mrs.
Bishop in the arm, inf1icting painful
wound.

Death of William L. Campbell.

1t is sad task under any circumstances
to have to chronicle the death of an estima-
BILE citizen. In the case of the patriarch,
who after life long labor and deeds of good,
goes to sleep with his fathers, our grief is
assuaged by the reflection that in the natu-
raj order of things it could not be other
wise But when tha dread Archer invades
the ranks of youth, and strikes down some
noble standard bearer, our grief is poign-
ant and our sorrow difficult to heal In the
death of William L. Campbell, which oc-
Cured yesterday morning at half past
seven o'clock, the community deplores the
loss Of one Of its best young men. Though
only thirty six years old at the time Of his
death, Mr.. Campbell had long held positions
of honor and great responsibility. He was
for FIVE years employed in the State Aud
itor's Office; at the close of MI. Grahams
administr alton he filed the position of chief
clerk. Mr.. Campbell was retained in his
position by Auditor Clinton, but failing
health ompelled him to resign about
year and half ago. Deceased was
brother of James Campbell now, and for ten
years past, chief clerk in the State Treas
urer's office. To his sorrowing family and
bereav ed relatives our heartfelt sy mpathy
is extended.

Destruction of the Republican Newspaper
Office i'm Franklin.

We have already announced the sacking
of the Office of the AHakapas Register, Re-
publican newspaper printed in Franklin,
parish of st. Mary, one of the strongholds
of the White League. The following note,
however, gives additional particulars of the
outrage:
FRANKLIN, La, August u, 1874.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
On Monday night last some person or
persons broke open the back door Of the
AHakapas Register Office. in this place, and
pied all of the type, cut the straps Of the
press, carried away the lever and rendered
the press entirely useless. A keg of printers
ink was smeared over the rear part of the
floor, and 500 copies of the paper, one side
struck of, were torn to pieces and scattered
over the floor. The letters K. X. X. were
marked in large size upon the wall. A
screen, serving for a partition, was de-
stroyed, and the entire Office was left in a
very dilapidated condition. The damages
amount to at least 5000.

The New York Herald's Opinion.

The New York Herald's Opinion.
The following is from the Herald of the
third instant:
Whatever else may be discussed, so far as
the South is concerned, one point is beyond
discussion, that we must have peace
and order; that the black man and the
white man must alike be protected in the
enjoyment Of 'life, liberty and the pursuit
of ofhappiness." This principle underlies all
measures of reconstruction; we never see
such outbreaks and strifes as are now seen
in Mississippi and Arkansas without mourn
ing over the madness that seems to animate
the Southern people. Is there no wisdom
in all the lessons Of the war2 Is there no
possibility that the lessons of that tremen-
dOus contest will ever be learned? Is it too
much for a revival of that brave, proud,
statesmanlike, far-seeing Southern spirit Of
the past, when it's SONS were the leaders of
the Union, and which would lead the peo-
pie to q true conception of their duties and
responsibilities in the Union, to recogni-
ton of the fact that slavery is dead, that
another secession war is impossible, and
that the constitution grants all rights to all
men, and that the South will only win its
greatness again by loyal recognition of
this, and an earnest, manly resolution to
consolidate that greatness by industry,
patience and courage!

There was a hearing in the Supreme
Court, at Boston on the seventh instant,
before Judge Gray, on suit from Bristol
county, brought by Oliver Ames, against
the executors, widow and devisees of Oakes

partners. fhe real estate is of great value

Kentucky Crime.

hentucky Crime.
Some months ago young man named
Cadman arrived at Midway, Kentucky, and
established himself in the jewelry business
in Mr.. Woolum's grocery store in that town.
On election day he took prominent part,
advocating the interests of certain candi-
date. The following day he left for Lex
ingtOn on business, and returned late Sun
day night. He started from the depot for
the store, where he had been sleeping. On
the way he was met by two men in masks,
who presented pistols at his head, at the
same time requesting him to move on to-
ward clump of bushes in the suburbs of
the town. He went with them, and has not
been seen or heard of since. Yesterday
morning collar, necktie, hat and two
masks were picked up about two miles west
Of the depot under some trees The suppo-
sition is that the young man has been fOully
dealt with on account of the part he took
in the election.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Another account is that four masked men
were seen lurking around the house of Mr..
Main, jeweler, Sunday night, and when
asked by policeman why they, were dis
guised, responded, "We intend hanging
that internal Main" The policeman re-
monstrated, trying to dissuade them from
committing murder, but was threatened
with death unless he Immediately departed.
Hiding in the shrubbery, the policeman
was enabled to observe the actions OF the
men. Having consulted among themselves
q few seconds, they proceeded to the house
of Main and knocked at the door. He an
swered in person, and was at once seized,
gagged, blindtolded, and hurriedly taken
into the woods. The policeman then awOke
the citizens of Midway, and large delega,
ton pursued, but failed to catch the men.
The reason of their conduct is attributed
to the very active part Mr.. Main took in the
concerning the election next November.
Yesterday morning tracks of blood and
some Of Mains clothing were discovered,
but he is still missing CONNER
