MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept ia gentle
man who arrived from Charleston, Miss,
this evening, gives the following account
Of the troubles in Tallahatcbie county:
Last Thursday two negroes, who, it is
claimed, live in Arkansas, registered as
voters in Erearsons store, and Warrants
for their arrest were issued and given to a
constable, who took posse with him. AS
they reached the place where the negroes
were staying, the latter saw them and fled.
They were pursued into Coahama county,
and two of the posse, Evarts and Buford,
it is claimed, fired at the negroes as they
ran. The negroes in the vicinity of Tcen-
ton, hearing Of the affair, to the number Of
seventy five, proceeded to Frearson's S store
and demanded that Evarts and Buford
should be given up to them, behaving, in
the meantime, in riotous manner. Coun
ty Treasurer Stewart, who is also deputy
sheriff, assured them that if they would
return home he would arrest Evarts and
Buford, which he did not do, and on Satur-
day it was ascertained that a large body of
armed negroes had gathered at Trenton,
and that the whites living near Frearson
sent Treasurer Stewart and Jerry Robin
son to try aud induce them to disperse !;
but they found them very violent and
| threatening to hang both Robinson and
Stewart They returned in haste and mott
| fed the citizens that the negroes we're
swearing vengeance against them. Calls
were then made on Oakland, Charleston
and Grenada for assistance, and men have
gone from those points.
