WASHINGTON Sept 7-Telegrams have been
received by the Attorney General from the
United States District Attorney and the United
States Marshal ut Jackson, Miss, with refer
ence to the recent disturbance at Clinton be-
tween the whites and colored citizens. The
information these kilograms convey is sub.
stantially to the effect that at political meet
ing held at Clinton, Miss, on Saturday last, q
row originated, during which three or four
colored persons we're killed and many wound
ed.
There does not seem to be any attack or
violation of the law 80 far as the United States
authorities are concerned and up to late
hour this evening there have been no sug-
gestions in any way from Federal officials
which should lead 10 the interference OF the
General Government though Jackson was
represented as being in very high state Of
excitement, and the officers sending the
kilograms were of the opinion that the State
authorities were powerless to prevent the
continuation of the disorders.
The Attorney General has telegraphed to
the District Attorney and the United States
Marshal at Jackson, to do all in their power
to preserve order, but as there has been no
call from the United States authorities for as
sistance, no further directions have been
given. Should application be made from the
officers of the General Government stationed
in the disturbed places for aid in preserving
the laws, or supporting their official authority,
it is probable that the Attorney General would
ask for the assistance Of the military. but TO
this time there have been no such demands
or suggestions.

THE KNIFE.
A Man Cut and Dangerously
Wounded.

About II o'clock Monday night, the resi-
dents in the neighborhood of the Jackson
Railroad depot, were aroused by the cries OF
Murder" and "Watch", coming from an old
shanty on Cailiope street, near Locust. Upon
an examination it was ascertained that cut
ting ARRAY had occurred between two men
named Jas. Jones and Alex Smith, in which
the former was stabbed in the spine of the
back by the latter.
Itsppears that Jones went to the house of
woman named Minerva Anderson, at the
above-named place, and there hired the SER
vices of an organ grinder. Minerva and Jones
were enjoying themselves very much when
Smith stepped in, and, to his great surprise,
saw his would-be wife dancing with his enc
my. He at once began fighting with Jones.
They clinched. Smith getting the best of
Jones, and laying him on the ground, dealt
him apowerful cut, about four inches long and
two deep. Smith afterward made good his
escape.
Jones was detained at the house and Dr.
Petty summoned, who pronounced the wounds
dangerous, if not fatal. Jones and Smith
have been on bad terms for about year. and
all about the girl Minerva Anderson. At last
accounts, Jones was lying at Minerva resi-
deDce in critical condition.
