The Race Conflict "a, Friar's Point


MEMPHIS, October 9.--All quiet at
Friar's Point. The difficulty at Charles
ton and Tallahatchic originated with
the Sheriff. Senator Alcorn and ne
gro named Blackwell, who abused AL.
corn and other Republican leaders,
and was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Hall. While Blackwell was pursued
by the sheriff and others to back
room of grocery he was shot fifteen
or twenty times and MORALLY wounded.
All were Repu bicans.
The war is considered to be at an
end. A Helena special says Sheriff
Brown is still there, and that he will
not return to Friar's Point, and that
negroes there threaten to kill him if
he does. Many negroes from Cohacoa
county are in Helena.
I4ATER-Latest advices report no
no more fighting, but that everything
is unsettled and the agricultural inter
ests paralyzed. The negroes there
threaten to hang Brown, the Sheriff,
and Smith, the candidate for Chancery
Clerk, if they return, for having
caused the disturbance. Brown was
still at Helena at last accounts, and
Smith is here. Reports from other
parts still show great Generalization
among laborers, and there is great dam
ger of large portion Of the cotton
crop being lost for want OF hands to
pick it.
In addition to the shooting affair re-
ported at Charleston last night among
the rival factions, II gentleman from
Grenada says last evening an indis-
criminate shooting affair occurred on
the public square there yesterday,
between Sheriff French and his son on
oue side, and State Senator Price and
others on the other, during which some
fifteen shots were fired, but no one
hurt. All parties were Republicans,
but belonged to different factions.

Bile. The court authorized the receiver

mixed metaphor in their public discourses
and have never been mentioned in con-
nection with any enterprise for promoting
the wealth or numbers of the Southern
States. We do not now remember one
work of improvement inaugurated by a
Democratic politician, nor a book of gen.
eral history, treatise on language or a
poem published by these intellectual SUI
periors.
3. There could be no possible chance to
| break an arm or leg in the service of a
Democratic fire company, to carry mus
ket under Democratic orders, nor to have
aprocession or epitaph in case of death in
Democratic service.
A. No accommodated person can pos
sibly hold any Office, political, or in any
bank, insurance or other Office. When
we take into consideration that all these
| Offices to which there is either salary or
idleness attached is already monopolized
one hundred deep in possession and ex-
| pectancy, we do not think the anathema-
| tized will suffer serious diminution Of
income from this work of supererogatory
| damnation. 1t is only those who join
'the ranks of the Democracy who are
thus cut off. They can not feel the de-
probation of Office.
Upon mental review of what person
who joined the ranks Of Democracy would
! lose by admission to 'tsocal' intercourse
with its leaders, We can not really imagine
any of the feeting pleasures Of SUBJ
lunary existence which respectable and
intelligent citizen could relinquish with
LEGS poignant distress.
Through rows most modestly called Paradise,
Which Eve might quit without much sacrifice.
But seriously, is it at this time, when
decisive Republican victory has been pro-
claimed-when the course of the Repub-
lican party in Louisiana, placed in issue
by the Democracy, has been Endorsed, or
at least ignored-is it the time when the
Republican party shall be told that no
man shall come into Democratic society
who does not vote against the Republican
ticket?
Just at this moment, when Louisiana is
applying for federal money to protect her
crops and promote her commerce, should
the Republicans be told that they are not
personally fit for association even with
Democratic politicians?
Just at the season when our banks, in
surance companies and factors are re-
joicing in the prospect of regaining the
control of Republican funds, shall they
be told that a war of social determination
is to be opened against all Republican
customers? We expect the violent views
of this penholder will be rectifed, and the
''organ of the business men" will protest
against this war at the counter and the
shop.
After all, however, we do not apprehend
that those who wish to join "the ranks"
of Democracy will be much alarmed at
the catholic spirit" with which the pen
holder would anathematize, excommuni-
cate and perhaps exterminate them. They
doubt the power to carry out the inter-
dict, and despise the consequences too
much to apprehend them.
