stolen from the same party, which the
broker refused to receive, as he be-
lieved it to have been stolen. Smith
stated in court that he then went out
and offered the first mar he met one
dollar to say to the pawnbroker that
he had known him (Smith) TO own the
coat for six months. Smith loaned
another coat to a country darby named
William Ward, and sold him still an

Won't Go 20 New Orleans.
THE LOWEST

A representative of this paper can
vassed the whole field covered by the
alleged removal of large bodies Of
cotton laborers to New Orleans and
found no ground to believe that the
propositions Of the New Orleans
agents would be accepted. A few
wavered at first, but are now
firm and refuse to 90. A num-
Der Of desperate characters, a class
to be found in every river
city areiwillisg enough and don't need
any extra inducement to help them
make up their minds to remove. They
are only too eager to jump into any
business likely to lead to a first class
fight and general jubilee, depending
on chance to help them through. The
mass of industrious colored men have
some ties here which must be broken
if they remove, and many of them
have little homes of their own,
which could not be disposed
of except at a great sacrifice. At
some time of his career nearly every
colored laborer here has visited New
Orleans asa steamboatman, and those
talked with had got enough of that
city during those trips. They recog-
nize the fact hat the same wages in
New Orleans would not keep them as
well as here. Few, if any, will yield
to the offers of the New Orleans
cotton men.

still Lives.

Tho man JEFF D. Gillenwaters, who
had nine shots fred into his body by
a mob at Arka5uta, in Tate county,
Miss, last Saturday morning, was
alive yesterday afternoon, and his
prospects are favorable for recovery.
Besides being shot so many times, he
was badly bruised from the effects of a
clubbing with a pistol 10 the hands of
one Of the mob. Those arrested as the
alleged mobbing party are, 50 far,
nothing but boys, and it is thought no
grown persons took part in the unIaw-
ful proceedings. The victim ofGillen-
waters wound, S. I. Eason, was
wounded by having his throat cut
with a razor, when asleep. He was a
strong man, aud after the FIRST cut
swoke and struggled with his slayer,
catching his hand and forcing the
razor back against Gillenwater's
breast, SO that the latter was also cut
ia several places. Robbery was evil
IDENTIFY his object, but he was 50 bloody
that a portion of the money became so
smeared with gore that he could not
carry it off. When captured he was
SO marked with blood that there could
not be any mistake regarding his being
the chief actor in the tragedy. He
had been a sleeping companion of
Eason for several months, and the
warm friendship existing between the
two rendered his work The more hor-
rible. The relatives Of the murdered
man we're 10th. to believe be had per-

Labor strikes are something nm
known here, compared with other
cities whose manufacturing concerns
are greater. We have had a few weak

The laborer can not successfully fight
with the capitalist in this latitude, the
present season.
