ARyzSs AGAINST TEE WHITES.
Misguided NEGROES Get Into Trouble
i'm Aubite. Louisiana.


in Ansitc. louisiana
New ORLEANS, June 29.-The Pica4
yune's Amite Ga. special says Alarm
ing reports have been In circulation for
some time that misIed colored people of
this place held frequent night meetings
and were procuring arms and ammuni-
tion from many quarters to use against
the white people in fierce confiict they
contemplated to bring about. Recent
events would seem to establish the fact that
the reports were not groundless, and the
white people had good reasons to prepare
themselves on war footing.
The Picayune of the 25th contained
your correspondents account OF the
firing by the negroes upon a committe,
of white men on part of the com.
munity who had been commissioned ia
interview two white men who wert
charged with living on terms Of social
equality with the colored population OF
this parish, and who, Influenced by their
bad advice, had struck for unreasopably
high wages. About 2 o'clock, Saturday
morning, several gun-shots were heard
about q mile above town. Shortly after
George Howard, the most desperate negro
in our parish, came in on horse wagon,
wounded in the arm with Winchester
bali. 1t is reported that he had
been intercepted on his way
to work by an armed posse of white
men and shot. Within five minutes after
Howard arrived there was simultaneous
charge into the town from every road OF
armed men on horseback, numbering
about 200. The greater part were dis
guised. They surrounded the important
squares Of the town, threw out their
pickets aud asked the whereabouts OF
Henry Daniels, ZRck Taylor, Dug Tillis
and George Howard. Armed posses of
10 or 15 were sent at once in search Of
them. Howard was found in Mr.. Tom
Seweil's garden. BE refused to surrender
and was killed. Two Of the horse Of
the party were wounded from shots
from the garden OF the time
the shooting was going on, vel
there was no gun by Howard when ne
was found dead. Two other negeoes,
Jake Ransom and Tod Flanders were
wounded at the same time in the garden
where Dug Tillis was found, and he with
two other bad negroes were taken to the
outskirts Of the corporation, whipped
and ordered to leave. Armed squads
were then sent out and captured the arms
of the suspicious colored people. Eigh-
teen or ~ uouOlt-Dhrreieu BuusJ TWO
Winchester rifles and number of pistols
were taken.
This armed crowd then dispersed. The
repeated threats on the part of the
negroes against the whites, the firing
upon the committee named above, and
the cruel beating Of a white child by
negro man q few weeks ago, and their
making arsenals of their homes so in
censed the whites that they concluded
that they would bear it no longer, but
would meet the issue as they did. EVery-
thing Is quiet now.

Tho Bridge Keeper Incompetent.
Editor Gazette Dc Journal. Allow me to
say e few words about the Third street
bridge and the man who tries to run it.
The machinery was all right when the
county accepted it from the contractors,
but the county should have made the
contractors pat steel gearing under the
bridge instead of cast gearing. However
il makes no difference what the gearing
is made Of or how strong il might be
with such a careleas and reckless bridge
tender. 10 show how reckless he is 1
will relate some of his carelessness saw
the other day: was coming over the
bridge about 11.S0 o'clock when q tug
blew for the draw to tnrn off. 1 thought
would not run to get off,
in fact could not get at
the end in time--so I stood on the draw
until the boat got through. The steamer
Christina then blew and Hickman kept
the bridge going at full speed with the
intention of making q complete turn. As
1t reached the end the bridge struck the
abutments and severely shocked the
people. The bridge-.ender should have
pulled back the lever and lowered the
plsnks that prevent the bridge from hit
ting the abutment. This injured the
bridge and it was 4 O'clock in the after
noon before it was in proper position.
The draw was raised fully foot above
the approaches. The Christina had mean
while gone through. This is the trouble
with the Third street bridge.
