ports that on Friday the steamer City of
Helena, from New Orleans, met the Grand
Tower in Fogleman's chute, some twenty
five miles up the river, and the boats were
dashed together for some two hours. While
so lashed freight and passengers were trans

here on Friday afternoon. Ga Friday night
late FIVE skiffs with muffiad oars were seen
coming down the river rapidly in midstream,
in front of the city, by Officer Daily and John
Gillespie, Waterman on the st. Bernard coal

Beale street, but it is not known that a land

4 FALSE ALARM.

1t was stated yesterday that Colonel Nike
Burke. Of the Mississippi and Tennessee road,
received a telegram from Grenada, Mjssis-
sippi, which stated that there were six deaths
in that city last night, and there were
thirty-tive sick people within radius of four
hundred yards of the depot. The citizens
were greatly alarmed, although the citizens
of Grenada say it Is not yellow-fever.
The following kilograms received here last
evening, settles the rumor as cdndFd:

B. A. Ayers:
No yellow-fever here. There were two deaths yes

II is easy to say that there is coed

colored voters Of South Carolina nigh,
have experienced n great political
change, and that this accounts for the
results obtained in several
OF the counties in South Carolina. But
an investigation into the facts shows
that there has been no change. The
negroes have been cheated bv the

tiers have been intimidated. while in
others they have been practically dis
franchised, by the abolition Of polling
places at which they could vote.
