raiders, is, with about fifteen hundred men,

By the Nationals of the Tenth Ward
Last Night Democratic COlOred
Speakers Prevented from
Speaking.
A sample OF the Freedom of speech and
Liberty that We are to Have If
the RadIcaI-NatiOnal Ticket
is Successful.

The dirty transactions in the tenth ward
last night by the enemies of Democracy cap
the climax IN vIlainous schemes resorted to
In the present campaign Our Information
comes from uDimpeachable sources, who, de-
clare their intention of pursuing it to the full
est extent of prosecution. A meeting of the De-
mocracy had been called to take place on Geor-
gi4g4treet, and preparations were made for a
free discussion. Several colored men were an
nounced to speak. A quiet, orderly crowd OF
the citizens of the ward had assembled, and
Just as the proceedings were about to oegln a
mob of colored men, the chief OF whom ap'
peared to be a colored man named Charlie
White, made their appearance, and kept up
such a yelling and hideous noises OF every
character that no speaker could be heard.
Constable T. S. Mallory, who was present,
tried to demonstrate with the mob, but they
would not listen to him, declaring that mo
damned Democratic Niger" should speak
there that night. Mr.. Mallory tired to paclfy
them by assuring them that If they had any
preference as to who should speak they should
be heard respectfully; that whoever wanted
to speak should be protected. He gave this
assurance as an officer of the law. All efforts
at remonstrance and pacihcatlon, how
ever, seemed only to increase the de-
| termination of the mob to break up
| that meeting, and they continued their ms
chief with more vehemeDce. Constable Mai
| lory then called upon Policeman q michael
| to assist him in quelling the distur bance, to
which he (Carmichaell replied that he saw no
disturbance; the boys we're just halloing a
little; and positively refused to do anything
| toward putting stop to it. This action on
the part of the policeman encouraged the
mob to the extent that Constable Mallory
was hootsd and yelled at and denounced by
them until he was compelled to leave the
| place, and on doing so was followed con-
siderable distance by the mob, who cursed,
abused, and even threatened him with per-
sonal injury. Constable Mallory believes
| that his life was in jeopardy, and believes
that if Policeman Carmichael had done hi'
duty order could have been restored
| The political charact sr of the meeting thus
assaied, and so often during the present
campaign, leaves no doubt as to who are the
assailants, and further comment is unneces

COLD-BLUODED MURDER.
A Gentleman Probably Fatally shot
by a sport at Little Rock, Yester-
d. without PrOVOcHtiOn.

LITTLE Rock, July 3l.-This morning Ed
ward NJ. Or shot and, 1t is thought, fatally
wounded James B. M Laughlin, lawyer of
this city. The father Of Orr is said to reside
in st. LOUIS. Orr has been in the county
Jail nearly one month on the charge OF gam
bling and sharp practice on some citizen.
Yesterday his foe was paid with money sent
by his father. Mclaughlin had been EN-
ployed by him in the meantime to defend
him, and he had turned over his valise to the
lawyer, who was to keep it until paid. On
being released he demanded his valise, but
Mclaughlin refused to give it up until his
fee was paid, whereupon Orr shot him, the
bail passing through the breast, touching the
lungs, and it is thought that this shot will
prove fatal. Another entered his leg, and
one bis thigh. Orr is in Jail. Mclaughlin
has been a resident of this city about six
months He came from Cleveland, Ohio, and
stands well at the bar.

CHICAGO, July 3l.-The corner 10 wheat
eliminated to-day, and the highest prlce, tor
cash, was one dollar and ten cents. AT the
close one dollar and ten and quarter cents
was paid for July. There was less excite
ment than was anticipated, the price only
having gone up about two cents during the
entire day, and the corner showing much less
strength here than in Milwaukee. There Is
much discussion here as to whether the rule

by the directors regarding the right OF opera

place of spring will stand IN court. lest
cases will Immediately be tried, and shorts
wso offered winter wheat mixed with spring
in settlement, will insist that the rule which
makes such wheat grade as spring Is IN force,
and that they have settled. Other suits Will
be brought on the ground that this whole
operation is a corner, contrary to law and to
