Four Negro DesperadOes Shot by n
Mob.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. II.
The Appeal says that on last Thurs
day night a body of disguised men
TOOK four negroes from the Jail ut
Friar's Point, Mississippi, and shot
them to death. The mob reached town
after dark and compelled Jailer AL
corn to surrender the Jail keyes, which
were in the cuurt-house safe. The mob
then entered the Jail. unlocked the
cells in which were confined four des-
perate negroes, Jim Stokes, BobYoung,
Corey Irwin and Tom Pugh. The
prisoners were quickly tied and taken
a mile from town and riddled with bull
lets. There were fifty or sixty men in
the mob. half of them being negroes.
The men were quite hasty, yet sure in
their work, and as soon as they had
tied the prisoners hurried them ont on
Sheriff7s Ridge road, where they were
riddled with bullets and left. Jim
Stokes, one of the negroes murdered,
burned a gin belonging to Mrs. Brinch,
in Coohanis county, on the night OF
the It'll Of January, and six weeks
ago robbed a man on the road.
The Proposed Centennial Rifle
Match.
NEW York, Jan. II.
Sir Henry Haltord, the noted Eng
fish rifleman, has been for some time
earnestly engaged in organizing AN
English team of II tn be one of the
many European ONES expec'e ell to COM
pete in The United States, during the
Centennial, against an American team
of equal numbers. That an Irish
team would appear on the scene had
b, en- pracii ally settled; a Scotch one
was expectel |. while there are good
reasons to believe hat rifle cams will
be here from France, Belgium, Ger
many, and probably Italy.
A cable dispatch received to-day.
however, by Judge Gildersleeve from
Sir Henry Halford, puts the matter in
a new light, in so far as England, Ire
land and Scotland are concerned; the
desire of the directors of the English
Rifle Association being to make up its
team of II from among the rIflemen of
the English, Irish and Scotch associa-
tons. The following is the text of the
dispatch received by Gildersleeve from
Sir Henry Halford:
"LoNDoN, Jan. II.
The directors. resolutions alter the
conditions as understood by the United
States, namely: Great Britain aud Ire
land versus America. The Council
will meet on Fri lay. | am sure they
will not sustain the terms"
Gildersleeve sent the following re-
ply:
"NEw YORK, Jan. II.
TO Sir Henry Haliord: Any team
you organize will he accepted. English,
Scotch, Irish, o. mixed. Signed,
GILDERsLEEvE."
ResolutionICasIin- for Information.
CHICAGO, Jan. Is.
A Times Washington special says
that Fernando Wood astonished
the House Yesterday by the nitro
ductiOn by him of a resolution which
calls for information rs to the Officers
of the United Stat - Army holding po-
sitions civil and diplomatic, aud
whether they are legally eligible and
have conformed with the laws concern
ing civil offices and their emoiufnents.
This.clause is supposed to refer to Cen
eral Adam Badean. Consul at London,
General Sickles, formerly at Madrid,
and NJ. G.. Meigs, who is nov travelling
as military Observer r, or something of
the sort, in Europe at the Governments
expense. Information IL also asked
concerning officers who have been de-
tailed from regiments totake a position
near the person of the Presidents; the
terms of the resolution being every
thing to indicate BabcOck, without
naming him. When passed, the meas
ure will cause an examination into the
various offices held by Bsbcock in adj
dition to his rank of Colonel of Engi-
neers. BY the terms of the bill the
most of the military assignments dur
ing the last six or eight years will come
under investigation, and the shocking
transactions OF 1870 and similar cases
on record will be thoroughly ventil
ated.
