AN IMPENDING BLOT IN TAlLAHATCHIE COUN
TY. MSS.

MEMPHIS, Sept 13.-Passengers by train
from Grenada report serious trouble in Talla
hatchie county, Miss, some ten miles wes'
Of Charleston. The whites there had sent
runners to Oakland for assistance, and citizens
there and at Grenada were organizing ano
arming to 60 there. No definite informa
ton Of the nature Of the trouble is received,
and owing to the distance from the telegraph
Office it is impossible to obtain reliable or de
tailed reports.
MEMPHIS, Sept ia gentleman who ar
rived from Charleston, MISS, this evening,
gives the following account of trouble in Tai
lahatchie county: Last Thursday two negroes
who, it is claimed, live in Arkansas registered
- voters at Frierson's store, and warrants tor
their arrest were issued and given to a con-
stable, who took posse with him. As they
approached the place where the negroes werel
staying, the latter saw them and fed They
we're pursued into Coahoma county and two|
of the posse, Evans and Buford, it is claimed,
fired at the negroes as they ran.
The negroes in the vicinity of Trenton|
hearing of the affair, armed to the humble of
seventy-fve, and proceeded to Frierson's storeI
and demanded that Evans and Buford should
be given up to them, behaving in the mean
time in q riotous manner. County Treasurer
Stewart, who is also deputy sheriff, assured
them that if they would return home he
would arrest Evans and Buford, which he did +
not do, and on Saturday it was ascertainedl
that large body of armed negroes had gath
cred at Trenton, and the whites living near
Frierson's sent Treasurer Stewart and Jerry
Robinson to try and induce them to disperse,
but they found them very violent, and threat
ening to hang both Robinson and Stewart,
they returned in haste and notified the citi |
xens that the negroes were swearing VEN
geance against them. Calls were then made
on Oakland, Charleston and Grenada for as
sistance, and men have gone from those
points.

It is we'll known that the English are
wonderfully ignorant Of American
geography, but it is not often that they
confess it, Lord Roseberg, in q recent
speech in London, said that ''he could
walk up to a map in tho dark and put,
his finger on the site Of Cicero's villa,
but if any one asked him where San
Francisco was he should have to think
twice." This remark recalls to the table
talk editor Of the GentlemGn's Magazine
4 similar remark of Mr.. Golden. "These
men," said Golden, speaking of English
ambassadors, and Of the necessity of
turning them into commercial travellers
-''these men know where the Ilissus
is; but they know nothing Of the Mis-
sissippi." ct was twenty years ago.)
"Yet the Mississippi could float all the
navies Of Europe upon its bosom, and it
took me half day to find the 1lissus
when l was in Athens, and then ! only
found the bed of the river. Half doz-
en- washerwomen had damned up the
Hlssus to wash their clothes.'' q

Is :, plant called the attleweed.''' &C.
cording to the San Francisco Chronicle,
produces an almost destructive effect
nponlth intellectual and physical. health
of: horned cattle. The ssrattleweed'''
grows to the height of about eighteen
inches, aud has Z leaf similar to that Of
the lupine. Il has an Immense number
Of pods, which are of light brown
color whom ripe, and of threc-sided
form, like the Brazil nut: These pods
do not crack open when ripe and dry,
and IS every pod contains half = dozen
or so small loose seed, it forms q rattle

clear sharp sound, resembling the
warning Of the rattlesnake. It is
found d-sometimes in small detached
clumps, and sometimes in patches COW
ering many acres-in Kern, Tulaire,
Fresno and Monterey counties, and in
the northern part of Los Angeles.
The effect Of this weed when eaten by
animals is to produce insanity, or, to
speak moro accurately, it appears to
derange and befog their, instincts and
judging from their actions, fills them
With delusions. When thus effected,
many of them die, whether death is
the direct effect Of the poison or wheth-
er it results from their inability to pro-
duce water and food is as yet unknown.
Several hundred horses have lately died
from the effects of this weed in the
southern part of Monterey county, and
1 correspondent Of the Chronicle who
lately lost fifty head Of horses on one
ranch from the same cause describes
the symptoms that were observed in
the ill-fated animals previous to their
decease. They became, he says, crazy,
forsook the land and wandered one by
one ever the plains, paying no atten-
tion to their mates or anything else.
They are too muddled in their brains
to seek for water, and most Of them
died Of, thirst. Although they were
wild and had never been handled, any
person could walk up to them on the
plains, and hit them with the hand,
when they would jump, perhaps
straight up in the air; perhaps some
other way, and 60 off as though they
wsre.trying to, leap over fence at
every step: They seemed to retain
their sight, yet would not turn aside
for anything. The poor demented
beasts would walk over precipice "as
placidly and deliberately as 5 San
Francisco free lnncher would advance
upon whisky" 13

Beecher on the Press.

We never thought BEEcHER tit to be a
preacher. He would have made champion pc.
litician aud great criminal lawyer; or. posi-
bly, better still, great actor. We doubt whe,
tber great deal is at stake in the present
scandal case to which he is party, and there
fore it may be supposed that we would not
be competent juror in BEEcHER case.
Nevertheless we cannot withhold from him
a generous endorsement of some Of the many
good things he says. For instance, we like
the following friendly notice he pays to the
New York press:
GAS long as God spares the lives of the
New York editors We shall have no excuse
for preaching wrong, because we have in
them such an exhibition of pure spirituality
and suca magnificent theological powers OF
criticism that we will never want for good
instructions. [Lsushter.] In the same sense
no man should have any excuse for being
sick when be can obtain Brandreth's pills.

! preacher is that OF man shooting wharf
rats. His whole duty consists in holding his
gun and watching for the rats, and as soon
as he sees one he Shoots"

Election by Lot.

At one time Greece was sorely Vexeo oy
party feuds and demagogues, and 1t was de-
termined to resort to plan for protection
against ambitious men, and to give better
cbsuce to the less powerful. This plan pro-
yided that when the candidates for the ar
chopship bad given in their names, instead OF
the people voting which OF these who had
given in their names should be archons, they
cast lots. "Thus," saith the historian, "the
most that an ambitious man could do would
be to put down his name as candidate !;
voting being abolished, it would be OF no use
for HIM to collect party to support him.
We suspect that the Greeks were unac-
quainted with party tricks, such as are now
known. Here the same system would beget
tricks and contriyance for managing the cleo
ton by lot that would hardly have entered
the head of a Greek with all his sharpness.
If trickery in this line could be headed off we
are not sure that our preliminary elections
would not be better ended by lot than by the
corrupt baIloting. In the long run we should
have better men.
