family who is now travelling in Europe.
Recently, while on the road between Flo
renee and Leghorn, in Italy, the corre-

there she was attracted by seeing Tweed

THE ARRESTS.
About ten or fifteen white men were ar.
rested during the evening on charge OF
firing pistols; but only two colored men,
G. d. Dantzler and Scipio Duncan, were
taken in. The negroes were SO largely IN tlle
ascendancy in point OF numbers that the
police could not arrest them.
So far as could be learned it is believed
that the riot was commenced by negro
named Vanderhorst, one Of the black bullles
of the Eighth Ward.
It was reported that woman was shot,
but diligent inquiry failed to trace the rumor
to any authentic source.

a LITTLE confession all around the
boards seems to be the order in the Re
publican party. The Knoxville Chron-
icle says: I'VE have never claimed that
the Republican party is free from scouu
drels. They are in every party, and not
unfrequently attain to high positions
Our party has been, and is now, loaded

Of US sooner or later. They are as teua

become stronger and more active than

none Of this psrgRtiVe medicine was ad-

habitants fearing their food would not
last them throughout the winter, sent to
Iceland asking for supplies. Accord
ingly a small quantity of supplies was
dispatched about a month ago; however,
a bottle was found on the coast OF Ice

supplies on hand we're only adequate for
one week, and that famine was ~inevita.
