The MissisSippI Riot.

MEMPHIS, December 1.-THE follow
ing account of the origin of the riot a'
Rolling Fork, is obtained from n gentle
man Just from there, who was present at
the time, on Saturday night, November
9th
a party of negroes had assembled Al
the village, and were drinking and
carousing, when one of them pushed a
white youth, whom he met on the street,
to one side, using rough language. At
the same time the youth responded with
a pocket knife, inticting scalp wound
on the negro, and then fled TO store for
safety, The remaining negroes became
eXas spcrated and vowed vengeance, and
to prevent this warrant was obtained tor
the youth charging him with assault
with intent to kill, but before 1t could be
served the negroes broke into the store
and beat the youth with an iron bar and
finally one ofthem shoe him in the thigh.
At the report OF the pistol the negroes
ran, but the whites had assembled, pur-
sued and captured ten of them and TAX
ing them to village, placed them in the
store house and put guard over them
during the night. During the night one
of the guards not upon duty came out of
the porch with gun on his shoulder and
was ordered away by the Sentinel on
duty. As he turned, his gun which was
cooked, struck against the window
and was discharged. The negro prisoners
thinking they were being fired upon,
stampeded, and the guard opened up an
indiscriminate firing, woundlng two Of
their own number and two negroes, all
slightly, but the prisoners escaped. Great
excitement prevailed during the day, as
1t was learned that Parker and Brooks,
two notorious negroes were trying to
organize the negroes for assauting the
place, and the whites were organized
under Rev. Mr.. Ball, a Baptist minister,
who arrested Brooks and Parker, and in
an attempt of the negroes to rescue them

LONDON, December l2.-The message
of President Grant has been chiefly IN
liucntIa IN determining the purpose of
the Government concerning the compli-
cations in Cuba. 1t has outwardly re-
moved the existing suscipion that trou-
ble was pending, 1t has also relieved
American bonds from n pressure and
heaviness that was tclt by those who are
engaged in their manipulation. 1t
may rc added, however, that
these securities are still tevcrishly
held because Of the frequent suggestions
concerning the school question and oper-
ing Of new political issues. On the whole
the message has been well received, and
especially that portion OF it which treats
of the finances of the government, and
the possibility that at not distant day
the currency Of the country will be re-
duced to basis that will correspond with
that Of other specie payh glcommunitieS.

absolute merit.
