that it was his sworn duty to uphold

was through the Legislature. The

A HORRIBLE STORY.
An Alleged Slaughter of Negroes on a
Tennessee Plantation.

An Alleged Slaughter of Negroes on
Tennessee Plantation.
MEMPHIS Tenn, July 22.-Thomas
Bell, a negro about so years old, came
to Memphis Monday morning on a low
er river steamboat and told terrible
tale. Bell has been for seven years
sub-overseer of cotton-picke@s and la
borers on the I. J. jefferson planta-
ton. Bell went to a surgeons office
and there related a story that devel-
opes a state of affairs which almost
rivals the assassination of Hippo
lyte's subjects in Hayti. While
nine people. whose most serious of
Tense, Bell says. was that of asking for
money and threatening to quit the
place on account of ill-treatment, slept
quietly in the barracks that afforded
them shelter, mob of armed men
with guns and pistols entered and
butchered them in their beds, The nine
victims had been employed on the
plantation most of the season and were
ignorant of the cruel tempers of the
men who slaughtered them. They
We're all strangers to the country in
which they worked and its customs, eX-
cept Bell, the sole survivor of the in
mates of the barracks for that portion
of the plantation.
On the plantation are a dozen or more
squads like the one of which Bell had
charge They lived on different parts
of the place in board barracks, each
family having two rooms. For several
weeks the people have been dissatis-
fed because of the hardness of the
overseers in paying them. Last week
the negroes expressed a determi-
nation to leave the place. The crop
they had been hired to harvest was
not half grown. The mutinous threats
reached the ears of the employers and
the wholesale slaughter of the eight
and the probable fatal injury Of the
ninth followed. Between midnight
and day the murderers entered the open
and unguarded doors and quickly dis
patched their victims. Shotguns and
pistols were the weapons used for the
bloody work
