point in both the Tensas and Caddo difficulties; that
in both of these the fight opened by the
negroes and not begun the part of the
whites until several of their number had fallen
In Caddo mob of negroes had assembled within
radius of a mile of the polls, with arms in their
hands, threatening to break up the election. The
Commissioners OF Election called upon the Sheriff to
disperse this assemblaae which expressly against
the law and prevent the threatened outrage In at
tempting to DO this several of the sheriff posse were
shot down. The negroes who were killed in the
fight which followed We're all armed. In
Tensas parish / learn, through republican
sources, that the difficulties originated first
between a mounted company Of whites who were
returning Tensas after most of the negroes had
dispersed, and a small body of negroes more violent
than the rest, who would not leave. The fight here,
