The dispatches have lately brought

march against the Sofas, IN Sierra

wiped out by the slave catchefs.
Among the ruins were found the
mutilated bodies OF old men and We.

A REIGN OF TERROR
Arkansas Negroes and Factory
Owners Warned by White Caps.
Employers Must Dismiss All Colored
Men and the Latter Leave Their
HOmeS-General Labor News.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 16.-Governor
Fishback has received information OF a
reign of terror which exists among the color
ed population OF the town of Black Rock.
According to the Governors information, a
very serious condition Of affairs exists there,
which may result in bloodshed. Black Rock
is the center of a large manufacturing and
lumber district, and owing TO the present
financial stringency, large number of men
are out of employment. Among them are
many lawless characters who have organ
lied for the purpose Of driving all the ne
groes out of the town. They have succeeded
in the intimidation of many factory owners,
who have discharged all the negroes IN theil'
employ in fear of the possible consequences
which might follow their refusing 10 accede
TO the demands of the white caps. On last
Friday night the following notice was posted
in public place:
"All negroes must leave this town inside
of ten days or take what follows, and all
who have houses rented to them must fire
them or we will fire the houses inside of
ten days. Negroes, don't let this slip your
mind"
This was followed by verbal and written
notices to the mill and factory men that
they must discharge every negro in their
employ or their property would be burned.
The mills and factories are guarded, and
the streets are patrolled by men armed with
Winchesters. The other side claims that they
have promise OF outside help and serious
trouble seems imminent. The colored popu-
lation, which numbers 300, is completely
cowed. About one-third of them have left
and most of the others will so II the mill
men should follow the advice of the white

the cost of living to the consumer. The
reduction of the tariff and putting on ule
free list all the products of the farms Is
for the same effect to cheaper the products
of the farm to the consumer.
Il have the honor TO represent consult
uency largely engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, which this bill materially affects
They are producers, and not the class OF
consumers that this bill is the special "a
vorite Of The real beneficlarieS OF this
measure are those engaged in unproduct-
i've pursuits, the nonproducers who are en-
tirely dependent on the markets Tor the
neceSsaries OF life.
1.-The farmers Of my district, think
am safe in saying, produce three-iourthS
Of all the necessarieS Of life they con-
markets than any other class. The pollcy
of this measure is to create such a condl-
nish the products of their labor cheap TO
the consumer, and as reward TO the
farmer for his sacrifice he is offered cheap
the very things he himself produces. For
any benefits the farmer can possibly hope
for under this bill will be more than
equaled by the loss he will sustain on the
one item of poultry. Taking this measure
as a whole, / believe it to be the enemy
of every one that earns his bread In the
sweat of his face.

protection of American labor, and does not
believe that there is a thing that is pro-
duced by toll should be made cheap by the
sacrifice of him who produced il. stand
by the American workman, and If IL was in
my power l would change the entire policy
upon the farm, down into the mine, into the
shop and factory, and hunt up every son of
toll and hold up his hands and dignity and
reward his efforts
I'VE hear the argument made in this de-
bate against the protective system. that Civ
ing our manufacturers the advantage al
forded by protective tariff does not benefit
the people or lessen the cost of the product
to the consumer, for the reason that the
greed of our manufacturers leads them 10
pocket the gain. In the same breath they
saw liz favor of this bill that by giving them
the advantage afforded them by cheap free
raw material the people will be benefited
by getting the manufactured article cheaper.
/ presume, therefore, the manufacturers viii
be honest under this bill and let the people
have the benefits. 1t would seem, however
that the opportunities for the manufactures
to pocket the profits were the same in both
cases unless the moral effect of the passage
of this bill would be that benefits to our
manufacturers from protection makes them
rogues while benefits TO them by free raw
materials makes them honest / cannot,
however, support the bill as a tariff or as a
moral measure, and will, therefore, vote
against IL. :"

CREGIER ON THE STAND.
Chicago's Ex-MayOr Proves Poor Wit
ness i'm the COughlin Case.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16-The prosecution in
the Coughlin case announced to-day that
the States evidence Will not be finished be-
fore tomorrow night. 1t was expected that
the case would be turned over to the de-
Tense to-day, but delay was caused by diff
6culty in procuring witnesses. 1t is said
that Henry Owen O'Connor, who was an
important States witness at the former
trial, has refused to return from New
York to testify. O'Connors testimony re-
lates to a conversation he had with Cough
lin, in which 1t is claimed the latter re-
ferred to DIR. Cronin a British spy.
Ex-Mayor Dewitt C. Cregier was put on
the stand to-day, and answered the quer-
les of the attorney for the defense in
bluff dreary way. He could give no salts
fe ction to the much-Sought missing short
hand transcript of the interview between
Chief of Police Hubbard and Coughlin be-
fore Coughlin's arrest. Mr. CreSier said
he believed the transcript had been put into
his hands but he had not the remotest
idea what had become of it, unless it had
been burned with other papers.
Attorney W. j. HyneS was called and
said he could not produce the transcript,
and did not even remember having seen
a copy. Don't you remember" asked Judge
Wing. "of having defiantly fiourished copy
at the lawyers for the defense in the former
trial, during your address to the jury ?''
But Mr.. Hynes did not remember, he said.

CALLED HIS BLUFF.
Mr.. HenrOtin Wanted All the Alley /
Stock, but Mr.. HOxie Didn't Give 1t.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-The arbitration COM
mittee of the Chicago Stock Exchange rem
dered a decision against the plaintiff to-day
in the case Of Henrotin VS.. HoXie. During
the session yesterday millionaire Hoxie sold
several shares OF Alley l. stock to broker
Henrotin and then, as a bluff, offered the
entire capital stock. amounting to $7.50o,000
at the same figure. Henrotin accepted.
Hoxie backed down, and the broker, in
sis ting that ii was a SALE offered to pay
the amount involved, and appealed to the
arbitration committee. Great interest was
manifested in the case. and the stock ad-
vanced 21z points before the decision was
announced Henrotin, when the decision was
announced, took an appeal, and the case
will be decided by the governing committee
of the Stock Exchange, which is the court
of last resort
Mr. Hoxie did not own all the capital
stock Of the IL" road, and did not intend
that his bluff should be taken literally
though he said he would sell Henrotin all
he wanted. The broker however, claimed
that he had bought the entire capital stock
in good faith, was ready to pay for 1t, and
insisted on the enforcement of the contract
Henrotin figured prominently in the West
and North-Side cable company organiZa-
tionS and foated heavy blocks of brewery
and stockyards securities, the latter deal
involving $25,OO0,0O0 stocks and bonds HoXie
came into prominence in 1876, when, after
having amaSsed large. fortune in cattle
at the stockyards here, he took to plunging
in the shares OF the Missouri Kansas q
Texas railway. He quit the game a loser to
the extent of $400, 0,000 but went to Texas
made money, and later appeared on the
sand acres of Texas land, not to mention
Chicago assets. He Is a sturdy old man OF
unquestoned ability, and not afraid of his
money. When he was plung1ng on Wall
street. he had, il is said, about 100000 III
cash and collatera1s up with his brokers.
