thls city that the negroes Of Colhoma county,
Mississippi, threa' ened to burn the town OF
Frlars Point. There Were different Tumors
floating about the city, some reporting fight
ing and others to the effect that no VIC ence
had yet been done by The negroes, who were,
however, in momentary exp citation of carry
ing cut their threat, to burn the town. Yes
terday morning Nj. 5. II. King, merchant Of
Friars Point, received the following telegram
HELENA, ARKANSAS, october 9TH.
The negroes threaten to burn the Point TO-
day. Several whites came here at two o clock
this morning for arms and assistance. A
good many nave just left here for the Point,
aud many more are ready TO 90 Il Leeded.
Serious trouble is expected.
Nothing additional has been heard from
Helena, which is the nearest telegraph station
to Friars Point, the capital of Coshoma
county. IN conversation with parties who
are well posted relative 10 the political move
ments OF the negroes in Coahoma county, we
were enabled to CLEAN the following facts reIa-
tive TO the
CAUSE OF DISTURBANCES:
The negro sberiffof COahoma county, whose
name is Brown, has as his bondsmen the best
white men Of that county, who, in doing this
favor, were actuated by the kindest motives.
can, there being six coIored 10 one white voter.
Brown is northern negro, and his conduct Of
ate has not been a. satisfactory to his party
as the members desired. The great disaffec-
ton which has split up the Republican ranks
in other counties throughout the State has at
last reached COahOma county, and the ne
groes nave determined to abandon Brown.
Realizing this, Brown sent for box of arms,
ard said he intended 20 arm two hundred
and forty deputies TO keep order al the Radi-
cal convention, which was TO have been held
at Friars Point last Saturday. In the mean
time Brown made speeches of the most in
cendiary character throughout the county,
and endeavored TO array the negroes against
the whites. There is no doubt as to his hav-
ing madq these speeches and ordered the
arms two or three weeks ego. 1t is believed
that large

have been shipped by Ames to different
places in Mississippi for unlawful purpos S,
and with which to intimidate negroes who
wished TO leave the Radical party and vote
the Dsmocratic-Conservati ticket. The
Aberdeen Erauatreg, of saturday, says:
"TweIve hundred needle-guns passed down
the Mobile ana Ohio railroad TO Jackson, on
Wednesday night, consigned TO Major Allyn
