ASSASSINATION FoILED.

Negroes COnspire to Murder the Whites In

covered and the Leader Hanged,
MoRILE, ALA, August 21.-In Choctaw
county, Ala, on Tuesday, the 18th instant,
bundle Of papers disclosing well-organ.
lied plot among the negroes to kill the
entire white population of that county was
found near one of their geBdezyous by two
gentlemen, Inc matter was 1aid before the
solicitor. On Wednesday the 10th, quiet
meeting of the citizens OF Mt Sterling and
Butler was called ct Butler TO consider the
best mode of suppressing the intended out
break and massacre. After discussion it was
agreed that the following ringleaders, Jack
Turner, F. D. Barney, Jesse Wilson, Peter
Hill, Willis Lyman, Aaron Scott and Range
West, to whom had been assigned the
duties of leading respective squads to
Butler, Mt Sterling, DeSotoville and other
places, and killing all the whites at each
place, should be arrested and lodged in iail
Their arrest was effected on Thursday, the
18th, without disturbance or bloodshed.
The same day mass meeting of the citi-
Eens of all classes was called for Saturday
to decide the fate of the prisoners, The
plot has been in existence since 1878,
and the c9n2nlrators now number
400, They have powder, shot and
guns. They think themselves sufficiently
strong to accomplish their fIendish design
Sunday night, the 18th of September, had
been appointed as the date for its consum-
nation. The papers further showed that
this day was selected because then the
whites would be at camp meeting unarmed,
and could then offer no resistance. The
meeting called for Saturday brought about
700 men, among whom were about 100
and fifty negroes, who, after hearing the
papers read by an almost unanimous vote
decided that Jack Turner was a turbulent
and dangerous character, "a regular frs-bFand
manded his Immediate death. "Hs was ac-
cofdihgly hung at about 1.15 p. m, in the
presence of the assembled multitude. The
crowd dispersed and all signs Of disturb-
ance ceased. Everything was quiet on Sat
urday night. The other prisoners are still
in jail to await further developments.

THE JAPANESE COoLIE.
His Remarkable Strength and Powers of
Endurance

His Remarkable Strength and Powers O
ENDURANCE.
A Yokohama correspondent of the SaI
Francisco Chronicle says
Japan Furnishes An example that tell
largely In favor of vegetarian diet. THAI
tho Japanese are people of muscle and
great physical endurance is apparent or
every hand. The specimens of muscular
development shown In the build and struc.
ture Of tho working classes are evidences OF
great strength and hardness. The diet oi
these men is entirely of vegetables and fish,
and they are very economical feeders al
that. The quantity of food they require, or,
at least, the quantity they eat, is astonish'
ingly small when compared with the food
deVoWed by the meat-eaters from the
Western world. The amount of manual
labor they perform is simply prodjglous
The coolie who takes the place of and who
does the work for which oxen and horses
are utilized elsewhere, is about as strong
and can accomplish about as much heavy
work as the beasts of burden they take the
place of. They are possessed Of Immense
power of limb, being able to pull loads that
would be considered as much as any ordi-
nary draught animal could draw. 1t is
wonderful to see them walking away with
the heavy loads they usually move and as
ONihASio VI upOh JItl
are capable of startling achievements.
Seemingly their frames are tough as steel,
not susceptible to cold or intense heat
going thinly clad in freezing weather, and
not shrinking from the sun in its mast up
pressive season.
Short in stSt9Se. compact in build, with
wet-expapded chest, limbs of shapely
mould, With muscles of iron endurance,
small extremities, delicate ankles, they are 8
marvel of strength. Some of these men
have mass of muscle In their lower limbs
such as is seep delineated in the cuts of the
gladiatQrs of old Rome. And it must be re-
membered that these men are FROM neces-
sity the least able to indulge In unlimited
quantities Of their peculiar food of all the
people In the land. They illustrate the les
son that strength and endurance may exist
on light and scanty diet of rice and vege-
tables, together with fish. The Rikisha men
are not so heavily moulded, being of much
slighter build, but they are also full of mus.
Gle, though not so prodigally developed.
The fatigue these men undergo and with
stand, can be partially estimated when it is
remembered that 1t is not considered an eX-
traordipary feat for them to travel 40 miles
q day with their seated passenger, No mat
ter how hot 1t may be, while the passenger,
complaining Of the heat, is being whirled
along and protected by his umbrella from
the rays Of the sun, the motive power never
Bags. The Rikisha man kept up pace
like deer, his body generally bare to the
sun, being guiltless of clothing that could
inconvenience the free movement of the body
or limbs. He takes but the slightest guam
tity of refreshment while on the road-a
cup of tea and a modicum of rice being the
extent of his gormandizing during the
travel. And they repeat these exploits day
after day, never eating meat.

ALBANY, August 21.-The Egenia0 Jour-

Gould as to their relations with Governor
Cornell. 1t says " Our friends NAV rest
assured that we have not spoken at random
and that every essential fact we have alleged.
and much more, can be clearly established. y
In regard to the bill exempting the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company from about
81 100000 taxes it says ''It has been
formally denied that Mr.. Conkling infested
himself in regard to this bill. We affirm
that he did not in person or as counsel, but
byfntimate friends, specifically delegated by
him to visit the Governor and in his name
to solicit him to sign the bill. So anxious
was the Senator that the bill should not be
vetoed that two of these delegated messen-
gers followed the Governor to Saratoga and
there, in Mr.. Conkling's name importuned
him to sign the bill " In regard to the
Elevated Railroad Tax bill it saws
Senator Conkhng occupied several hours
in presenting his views to the Governor.
Gentlemen known to be on intimate terms
with the Senator also made earnest appeals
to him to sign the bill. The Governor was
also informed by these side men in the con-
spiracy that large block of new stock
300 shares was to be issued, to be Glistrfb-
uted to parties named 'and Others and that
a compliance with the wishes Of Messra
COnklng and Gould would not onlv rein
state him in Mr.. Conkling's affections. hnt
secure for him the friendly offices of the
several newspapers under Mr. Gould's con-

russ: After a short time a general fight
ensued, in which officer Craddock took n
prominent part, and was beaten by a burly
negro and struck with club, Stones and
clubs OF all kinds were freely used, and one
negro went so far as to shoot off a revolver
six times In succession, but without strik-
Ing anyone as far as heard,
The negroes then turned on the hotel and
commenced throwing stones, breaking ont
the front sash In the billiard room and
otherwise injuring the front of the building.

During the stone throwing man living with
