MEMPHIS, Dec. 1.-The follow
ing account OF the origin of the riot
at Rolling Fork, in Issaquena coun-
ty, Miss, is obtained from a gen
tleman just from there, who was
present at the time. On Saturday
night, Nov. q, a party of negroes
had assembled OF the village, and
were drinking and ~carousing. One
of them pushed a youth, whom he
met on the street, to one side, using
rough language at the same time.
The youth responded with q pocket
knife. inhicting q scalp wound on
the negro, and then fled to a store
for safety. The remaining negroes
became very much exasperated and
vowed vengeance, and to prevent
this q warrant was obtained for the
youth, charging him With assault
with intent to kill; but before it
could be served the negroes broke
into the store and beat young Laird
severely with an iron bar, and finally
one of them shot him in the thigh.
At the report of the pistol the ne
groes ran, but the whites had be-
gun to assemble, and fearing o gen
er.ll riot, pursued them and cap
ture,d ten of them. and taking them
to the village, placed them IN q
store house and put a guard over
them. b 5LEE Esi -5 lilo adI
During the night, one OF the
guards not upon duty, came out on
the porch with a gun on his should
err. and was ordered away by the
sentinel on duty. Ii he turned,
his gun, which was cooked, struck
against the window and was dis
charged. The negro prisoners,
thinking they were being fired mp
on ,stampeded and the guard open
ed up the indiscriminate firing,
wounding two of their number and
two of the negroes, all slightly the
prisoners escaped. Thatday, Sun
day, the most intense excitement
prevailed there, as it was learned
that Noah Parker and Arthur
Brooks. two notorious negroes,
were irving to organize the negroes
for assaulting the place, and the
whites were organized under Rev.

TOBACCO.

H.
The most outrageous piece OF
legislation on the statute books OF
the United States is the act Of
June 6, 1871, which had for a
covert purpose the restriction OF
the sale Of tobacco to a certain
class. Under its oppressive pro
visions the tobacco grower is prac-
ticaiiy forbidden to sell to any
other than the manufacturers of
tobacco, a ring which has so com
pletely1 monopolized the business
that II can control both the buy
Ing price of the leaf and the selling
price of the manufactured article.
Should the farmer twist his tobac-
co, even for his own use, he is
liable 10 arrest fine and imprison-
meut as n manufacturer who has
not paid for the license Of n manu-
fscturer; while il he sells it in the
leaf he Is liable TO . penalty as q
retailer, without regard to the
amount sold 4 retaI dealer IN
der this most odious law is defined
to be any one who sells or offers
for sale, or consigus for sale on
commission, leaf tobacco. The
Law reads, ~Nothing in this section
shall be construed to exempt from
a special tax any farmer or planter
who shall, by peddhng or other
wise, sell leaf tobacco at retail di,

Philadelphia, Pa.

Great activity isappareut 10 the erection
of new buildings 10 Philadelphia. Before
the building season clos the number will
probably exceed 1000
This remarkable growth of Philadelphia,
in time when trade is lethargic and
nearly all her countless manufacturing in
terests have been forced heavily to curtail
production, is owing, in the main, to tire
causes. The first and principle one is the
operation Of the hundreds Of building
associations which encourage men of mod
erate means, and mea without means TO
buy homes BY paying monthly a small sum
in addition to the amount they would 9th.
erwise pay as rent. In this way steady
market is created for new houses. The
second case is the conservatism of Phila-
delphia capitalists, who prefer to put their
money in real estate under their own eyes
for return Of four or five per cent. to
making more profitable and, as they think
more hazardous investments. Finally,
there is the Centennial, which begins 70
be powerful stimulnnt to building enter
prises.
Rents are if anything rather lower than
they were last year, but the fall in price
has been in larger houses than those above
described Small houses are always in
demand, and hard to find unoccupied.
From present indications there will be no
increase of rates next year on account of
the Exhibition, unless it be for houses in
the Immediate vicinity Of the Centennial
grounds, which viii no doubt be in demand
for State aud foreign Commissioners, ju-
ror, aud exhibitors
A private letter TO the editors Of the
ADVOCATE says :-"You can't Imagine
the amount of building, remodcling and
fitting up which is going on in the city,
and yet every one is complaining of the
hard times. Nearly all the boarding
houses have been remodeled or fitted up
in some way" 1t is gratifying to hear
that rents are not likely to advance, for it
will keep board down, and swell the i'm
mense number Of visitors which will throng
that city next year.

themselves at Saratoga, last summer, and
their presence at that fashionable watering

Arsus-eyed Virginia journals, one Of which,
fhe Old Commonwealth, thus alludes to
Tie matter:
:, We did not know that Saratoga was on

slohers should go there to settle the question.
