Excitement in Shreveport, La.

NEW YORK, October 2O.--A special to the
Tunes, dated Shreveport, Oct. 10Th, says: The
greatest excitement prevails IN Shreveport
from the prospective arrest OF seventy Leading
merchants and property holders. AthdaVlts
have been made and warrants oil arrest prepar-
ed for them on the ground that they have Vlo-
lated the Enforcement act by endeaVorlng to
intimidate negro voters. The facts are, these
gentlemen feeling that it was necessary to sue
coed at the forthcoming elections to save them
selves from utter financial ruin, Determined not
to employ any colored men who should vote
against them. They therefore drew up and
published in the Shreveport Times the follow
ing card o.,.,. wv ,,,
signed merchants of the city OF Shreveport, 10
obedience to a request OF the Shreveport Gam
paign Club, agree 10 use every endeavor to get
our employees TO vote the Peoples tick at the
ensuing election, and 10 event Of their refusal
so to do, or in case they vote the Radical ticket,
to refuse to employ them at the expiration OF
theiy present contracts.
This was signed by SO Of the leading merch-
ants Of the city. Though this is an effort to
Influence the coming election, and therefore
blamablc, yet it is claimed that it is commeD-
dable effort to restore better state OF things
by the ballot without having recourse to rcvo-
lutouary measures. II warrants Of arrest are
issued there is u general determination on the
part OF the youuecr merchants who are lmpll-
Gated to mount their horses ami take to the
woods. This might end in guerrilla warfare.
A. B. Sevisseee, formerly District Judge, and
candidate for the Legislature on the Radical
ticket, is the United States Commissioner be-
fore whom the afidavits were made, and whose
duty it is to issue warrants OF arrest. The ru-
NOR of the intended coup coming to the ears OF
the citizens this morning, an old gentleman
called on the y. S. Commissioner and asked
him for the facts lie said that the rumor was
correct, and that he would have to order the
arrest and bail the prisoners, or to resign and
leave the disiaceful task to others. 1t is be-
lieved that he intends to resign ostenslbly to
please the citizens but really to give the accus-
cd over into the hands of the United States
Marshal, who would take them all to New Or
leans. This was done in the Collax case when
hundreds Of witnesses, for and against, were
carried down to the capitol and kept there at
their own expense for about eight months, on
ADD off Their families were left destitute,
their fields were untitled, and the general re-
suit vas great loss to the entire community
without any benc6t TO the ends OF justice.
