The Friar's Point Trouble.
The Tribune tomorrow publishes an account
from Senator Alcorn Of the Friar Point war and
its causes. He says Sheriff Brown, whose bonds
man, Gov Ames, surrendered year ago on the
plea that he had appropriated nearly $4,000 Of the
revenue Of the state to his own nse, and had de-
manded the cooperation of the county treasurer
in a fraud upon the county treasury for nearly
Sc 900 more, was the author of all the mischief
That Brown made known to the negroes that
Smith, another Ohio negro, who now holds the
three offices Of senator, receiver Of public money
and county superintendent Of education, must
also be elected circuit and chancery clerk, which
would make the ring for the plunder Of the county
complete in Brown and Smith; and that Brown
by ncendisry harangues melted the negroes to
defend themselves against the whites, who medi-
tated no war on them. The senator's account of
the fighting adds nothing to the particulars al.
ready published.
