TIIE MEMPHIS RIOT.
l.ato Memphis papers are filled with
such aggravated statements of the riot
which occurod in thut city 2nd and 3d
ilists., that it is almost impossible to arrivo
at reasonable conclusions concerning it,
We give the following article from the
Uulletin of the 7th. without comment, as
it is sufficiently explicit to need no de
tailed explanation i
The riots of Tuesday and Wednesday,
now that they hate passed, away, can be
referred to and conversed about by all
classes in the, community. The origin of.
the riots seems destined to be buried in
oblivion, fbr it scums impossible even four
days after the occurrences* to trace the real
cause of the disturbances. That the riots
were unpremeditated there is hardly one
person in the community will dare to deny.
The cause was simply this : A negro aud
a white man got into nil altercation on
South street on the afternoon ol' Tuesday,
and from words came to blows. A couple
of policemen interferrod to stop the dis
tuibancc, several negroes came to the as
sistance of their comrade and the riot Jje
came general. While the row was in
progress, and the police were about to be

of engine 2, made his appearance on the
aground lie went to t he assistance of the
police, as it was his duty as tt fireman to
•do, and easily feol a victim. He was shot
down a few minutes after he entered the
struggle, and after lingering in the great
est agony for several hours he expired.
While.the row was in progress, officers
Slattery and Steplieus were also wounded,
the latter mortally. Faint hopes wore
■entertained that Stephens would recover,
but although everything was done wRich
medical aid could suggest, he gradually
sank until death put and cud to his suffer
ings on Friday evening. The medical
gentlemen in attendance on officer Slattev
ly and a citizen named Finn,* who was also
wounded, are sanguine they will recover.
Four negroes in all were shot down du
ring the riot on Tuesday night, all of
whom died from their wounds. On the
morning of Wednesday the disturbances
were resumed near the Memphis and
Charleston depot. By this time the mili
tary had been called out, and acting in
conjunction with the police and a posse
eomitutus under the command of Sheriff
Winters, the negroes were quickly dis
persed, after four of thoir number had been
shot down.
All the citizens were of opinion tint the
disturbances were not at an end, as the
negroes had retreated to Fort Bickering,
hut their hopes were not realized. Short
ly after eight o'clock in the evening, a
bright. lurid glare was to be observed
creeping gradually over the southern ho
rizon, and the uews soon reached the city
that the mob, acting under the bud coun
sels of their leaders, had fired a school
house and several negro cabins ju South
Memphis. The firemen turned promptly
out, but owing to the great scarcity of wa
ter, they were unable to stay the devouring
element In the disturbance which took
place, four negroes were shot down, and
pistols and knives freely used ou both
sides.
Fires took place during the night in va
rious parts of the city, and the greatest
cxeitenieut prevailed among the citizens.
Before the morning's sun rose no less than
three eolbred charches, four colored
schools, and about thirty cabins had fallen
a prey to fho devouring clement.
Tlia tminW Ir illorl dnrimr til OKA 1111 for
tunate disturbances, which a'l good law
abiding citizens regret in the uiust heart
felt manner, were as. follows: Henry
Dunn, engineer :of No. 20 fire engine, and
officer Stephens, of the police force.
Twelve negroes, in all. were killed during
the riots. Four were killed the first even
ing, Tuesday, four on the following morn
ing, and four, including a woman named
llachel, while the fires were in -progress
during Wednesday evening
There has been a great amount of de
bate relative to the origin of the riot and
the parties who were engaged in it. The
testimony in regard to all these partieu
irs is most conflicting, hut all agree on
ue thing, that those who engaged in tin
dt were persons of irresponsible character
:id it will he unfair to charge these unto
.•aid disturbances to the good law abiding
itizens of the city of Memphis.
J»e Test Oath of Missouri ruconstilu
tlonal.
At a political meeting held in St. Loui
iu the first of May, for the purpose of cn
dorsing the President’s policy, Hon. .Job:
Hogan, member of Congress from that dh
.net, delivered a strong and forcible speed
"roui which wc take the following extract
'■‘As I am here, I want to tell you. m

United States vindicates itself against fh

' The Condition of Ex-Pres!dcnt Davis.
j The Fortress Monroe Correspondent of
the New York Herald, writing April 28th,,
; says:
: v
[ Jefferson Davis, I am told, expresses the
' hope that the newspaper rumors that lie is
! to be brought speedily to trial will prove j
j true. This, of course, may be one way or
| the.other. From the outset of his inipris-j
oiimcnt this has beou his constant clamor, I
and he doubtless desires to prove himself j
too consistent in his declarations to seem to 1
wish otherwise now Hut it is the very dc- j
elded opinion of most that his mind is!
largely and hopefully exorcised at present i
; upon the subject of general amnesty which j
will rid him of being brought to trial at all.!
In the shadowy, remoteness and uncertainty :
! of this amnesty, T think there can be no j
doubt, however, but ho would prefer an j
i immediate examination and decision of his !
■ case to being kept much longer in prison, i
I and undergoing the continuous painful per- [
plexity of hope longer deferred. Meau
! time, officers and others coming daily in
contact with him may assert and believe
what they say, that his health has been
unimpaired by his long imprisonment; hut
a gentleman, also a doctor at that, who
khuw mm uuring me war, ana saw nun a
few days since for the first time sinccshis
capture assures me that lie lias most per
ceptibly and painfully failed in health since
his incarceration, lie was. within a few
feet of him on the parapet. Ilis face lie
noticed as very mueli thinner, his hair is
grayer, and his steps is not at all assured,
lie rested frequently in his walks, and
every liueamentof his face and every move
ment betrayed physical energies wasted and
worn to a degree giving assurance of but
little remaining vitality. This gentleman |
says lie cannot live the summer out in pri
son. I will add liore that as far as this
gentleman’s observations went it was well
for his own satisfaction, as well as that of
others, he was thus careful in making them’,'
for under a new order, just issued, he is
| not likely to have an oportuuity to repeat
them. This order prevents strangers from
coining anywhere near him in his walk,
and sentries and now sent ahead to notify
! people who may be walking on the parapet
| of his coming, and compel them to go in
i the opposite direction. Mr. Davis has al
ways manifested a dislike to the propin
quity and inquisitorial glances of strangers,
and the probability is that this order was
issued from sole regard to his feelings in
the matter.
CoxmiKss Warnki>,—The ComfitiitiQrnl
Union, published,at Washington, iu its issue
of Wednesday contains an article on Congres
sional action in the fallowing words:
“Those men had better beware: they arc
not a legal Congress, but ail unconstitutional
body of usurpers. The country feels that the
one great error of the President was in his
ever recognizing them at all. In their self
imposed rump condition, they had no claim
for recognition as an official body from an hon
est man, or any oilier branch of government,
We doubt whether the Supreme Court will
ever affirm any of their acts to be valid. This
thing of Congressional fanaticism aud treason
ought to be done u'.v-iy with. The American
Congress now is the facsimile of tha rump
Parliament which stunk in the nostrils of fi'l
good men, and which Cromwell kicked out of
doors, and served them just right. A little
Cromwellian pluck is just the thing needed
now. and there are 2,000,000 Democrats at the
North who would face that kind of pluek with
n tniotl iIaiv! nf Polish inat iirtiv. Tin*
\ should be joined at once.”

7o the EJitnf of the Citizen,
Sut : It is truly gratifying to all who feci
interested in the prosperity and happiness of
ourHtate and people^ to see how fully burpeo
ple eoniprehend our situation, and how earn
estly and in good faith they have accepted the I
result, of the issues of the war. IV c find in
every part of the 8ta,le a disposition to culti
vate peace and harmony, to avoid all exciting
subjects, and all causes of disagreement and j
strife. A desire to invite emigration and cap
ital to the State, and to develop the great re
sources of the country. These manifestations
of the people are inspiring confidence in the
stability and permanence of the State Govern- i
incut in the minds of those in other .States and
countries, who arc desirous of making their i
homes in the South; und if #c continue in this I
good work, time will bring to us all that is dc- 1
sired. There is an abundance of capital in the !
Northern States and in Kuropc, now seeking
safe invest:::?::!.; and whenever our State shall !
bo restored to her proper relations with the ;
general Government, and our Legislature pass ,
laws which will givo confidence that right will i
be respected, I have assurances that capital |
will be invested, and the building of our rail- |
roads commenced, and prosecuted with vigor |
until completed. i
This would bring emigration and capital to !
the country. It would introduce an extensive 1
scale machinery and the mechanic arts, and;
develop and bring into requisition the im
mense resources of the country. It would |
bring a good market to our doors for every- '
thing produced—bring us in close proximity |
with the great wants of the world. It would |
build up our schools, and colleges, and manu- ;
factories, and inaugurate an era of general';
prosperity.
There is probably no part of the world
blessed wilji more of the elements of health,
the means to accumulate wealth, and the at-;
tainment of prosperity and happiness than
Arkansas. IVe have a gonial climate, rich !
and productive, producing the most valuable
products in the world Ottr hills are imbed- ;
(led with iron, copper, silver, lead, zinc, man- j
ganeeze coal, marble and other valuable min
erals, with water power unsurpassed to drive
machinery. Our forests abound with the most
valuable timber, and our rivers are unequalcd i
by those of any other State for navigation.
All this would be improved and brought in- j
to aetivc operation, and prosperity and.hap
piness would prevail. All this may he secured
by our people pursuing a wise, liberal and
prudent course. By maintaining peace and
tranquility at homo—by giving aid, encour- |
agemeut and support to those who devote
their energies, mind and capital to the ad- j
vancement of the best interest of the coun
it is gratifying to sec that the people have
become awakened to tbeirtruc interests, and i
are giving their energies to tire advancement
of these, laudable objects, Onr friends at '
Helena, and other parts of the State, are
manifesting a zeal worthy of so great and
good a cause, and we hove assurances that if |
the'Stftte will do her duty that the Iron Moun- 1
tain Railroad, eve long, will bo extended to
the Mississippi river at Helena, and probably
to Shreveport, Louisiana-; that the Cairo and
Fulton, anti other railroads in the State will
be commenced and completed within a few
years, and Arkansas will stand as one of the
great States of the Union.
IV. J5YKRS
At the request of Judge Byers, we
copy from the Crescent, the following letter:
1)ks Anc, May 4th, 1866.
Permit me, through your columns, to make
a few suggestions.
Notwithstanding I cannot give assurance
that our State will soon he restored to its pro
pov relations with the United States govern
ment, and its members to Congress admitted to
their scats, we should be patient and hopeful.
The questions to he settled are of great magni
tude, require grave consideration, and wise
and deliberate decision. It is with unfeigned
pleasure that 1 can state to the people, that.
Arkansas stands in advance of any State
which was in rebellion. That from the evi
dence taken before the Reconstruction Com
mittee, it is shown that, the people are more
quiet, peaceable, and harmonious—that they
have accepted the situation in a better spirit
and grace, than any other Slate. This is ac
knowledged and appreciated by the authorities
at Washington. If this commendable course
of our people is continued and improved, time
will restore us to our proper relations with the
Government. \p
In the meantime, we should he looking well
to our interest at home, and adopt that policy,
and pursue that course, which will advance to
the greatest degree, the important interests of
the State, and the welfare and happiness of
the people We arc commencing a new era in
our history. The next Legislature iu my opin
ion, will be of more importance—for good or
for evil—than any ever held in the State. We
require wise, enlightened, liberal nnd prudent
legislation, adapted to our present condition.
Such as will secure to all classes their civil
rights, induce capital and labor to come to the
State, the building of our railroads; the inau
! guration of a liberal and wise system of in
j ternal improvements; the promotion of educa
i lion: the development of the mineral and agri
I cultural resources of the country, and lay the
basis of general prosperity. To effect this,
we must elect intelligent, liberal, wise and pru
! dent men; men who have the confidence and
| command the respect of the communities in
i which they live. The people should guard
well this point, and call forth their best men.
No one, when thus called upon by the people,
should refuse to serve. Every man owes some
thing to his country, and when called upon by
| his fellow citizens iu such a crisis; when the
I country is in such a peril, he should not shrink
; from the responsibility. In tho selection of
candidates wo should avoid extreme men, and
1 those who are obnoxious to the United Stales
government. In the promotion of the great
; interests of the country, wo should look to the
eff ect desired to he produced, and support man
wills a view to that end* The character of the
Legislature will have a great effect at Wash
ington, ns well ns at homo.
We should avoid all political strife and agi
tating subjects; and embrace ns within our
folds, all men w ho in good faith accept the is
j sues of the war, and give a hearty support to
I the Constitution and tho laws, and promote
; ’.eace and good order. Seen men 1 deem thi i.v
Loyai. We should cultivate peace, har
mony and ti-anqnuiiy; good of all;
heal the wounds and repair the breoilb'S Cl iLe
past. We have but one country, one interest,
and on a destiny. W. 15VEUM.

THE PRESIDENT SUSTAINED BY A
MAJORITY OF HISUAP.INET AFTER
ALL,
We clip the following from the Mem
phis Argus of May the 8tli:
Secretary Seward stands firmly by the
President, and most of the other members
of the Cabinet, in opposition'to the disor
ganizing disunion scheme reported by the
Reconstruction Committee, commonly
called the “Central Directory.” Secreta
ries Seward, Stanton, . McCulloch and
Welles, are now known to give their ad
hesion fully to the whole policy of the j
President. Much to our surprise, we are j
told that Mr. Stanton supports the Presi
dent and opposes the schemes of the Con
gressional Radicals with ardor and enthu
siasm. The following dispatch is said to
have been prepared for transmission, over
the disseminating wires, to every part of
the Union, by Secretary Seward under the
supervision of tiie President himself:
Washington, May 1, 18CU.—It is under- i
etrind that in the Cabinet, modi,it to-dnv the!
President invited an expression of opinion
from tiic Heads of Departments respecting the
propositions reported on Monday last by the
Congressional Committee on Reconstruction
An interesting and animated discussion is said
to have ensued, in which, if the rumor be
true, Secretary Seward declared himself in
very decided and emphatic terms against the
plan of the Committee, and in favor of tlrtj
immediate admission of loyal representatives
from the lately rebellious States. Secretary
McCulloch was as positive ns the Secretary of
State in hi* opposition to the plan recommend
ed by the Committee, and expressed himself
as strongly in favor of an immediate consum
mation of the President's restoration policy
by tlie admission into Congress of loyal men
from the Southern States. Secretary Stanton
was equally decided in his opposition to the
Committee’s proposition; he was for adhering
to the policy whieti had been agreed upon and
consistently pursued by the Administration :
ami be was gratified that the President had
brought the subject 10 the consideration of
the Cabinet. Secretary Welles was unequivo
cally against the Committee’s scheme, and was
earnest in his support of the President’s poli
cy. comprehending the instant admission into
Congress of loyal representatives of the States
lately in rebellion. Secretary Harlan was ra
ther reticent, and expressed no opinion.
Postmaster-General Dennison was in favor of
carrying qpt the restoration policy of the
President, but expressed some doubts as to
tlie precise time at which loyal representatives
from the Southern States should be admitted
to seats in Congress. Attorney-General Speed
was not present at the meeting, being on a visit
to bis home in Kentucky. The President was
earnest in his opposition to the report of the
Committee, and declared himself against all
conditions precedent to the admission of loyal
representatives from the Southern States in
the shape of amendments to the Constitution,
or by the passage of laws, lie insisted that
under the Constitution no State could be de
prived of its equal suffrage in the Senate, and
that Senators and Representatives ought to be
at once admitted into the respective Houses,
as prescribed by law and the Constitution,
lie was for a rigid adherence to the Constitu
tion as it is, and remarked that having sus
tained ourselves under it during a terrible re
bellion, he thought that the Government could
be restored without a resort to amendments.
He remarked, in general terms, that if the or
ganic laic is to be changedjat all, it should be at
a time when all the States and all (he people can
participate in the alteration.
-An important order was issued on the
first day of May by the war department, by
directions of the President, that military com
missions and courts-martial bare nn iurisdic
Hon whatsoever over auy other persons than
those belonging to the array and navy of the
United States, camp followers, etc., etc—
which is precisely the position we took in an
article several weeks since, on the illegality of
all trials of citizens not connected with the
military establishments.—[Memphis Appeal.
-The merchants’ national bank of Wash
ington failed on the 4th, Amount of its notes
in circulation is $180,000, which, however, is
secured by U. S. bonds. The hank was also
a government depository. Crowds of private
depositees were on 4hc premises to-day lament
ing their supposed loss. Some of them had
confided in the bank to the extent of $20,000.
-In the Methodist Conference, at New
Orleans, Thursday, the postorate was extended
to four years. There were $27,000 appropri
ated for thesupport of Bishops. The Missouri
and St. Louis Conference wore granted the
privilege to divide. The revision of the Dis
cipline has been very extensive. The report
of the Committee on Education' declined to
accept the phonetic system, and recomends an
institute for the education ol young ministers,
and also to establish Biblical schools in connec
tion with colleges already established. No
one shall be admitted into Conference without
a certificate from the Examining Committee.
The next General Conference will ho held at
Memphis, Tennesee, on the first Wednesday in
May,' 1870. The Conference the adjourned
1 sine die.
-The Colorado bill has been submitted
! to the president. It is claimed in some quar
' ters that he will veto it, on the general princi
■ pies maintained in his policy of restoration,
1 that congress permits twenty or thirty thou
l sand of people to he a limited into Hie Union as
a state, and yet deprives hundreds of thousands
■ of a similar privilege in the southern states.
-Forney, in his blind hatred of the
Southern people, professes to believe (hat
there were scores if not hundreds of men in
every Southern State nho were engaged in
Hie conspiracy to assassinate President Lin

Crnuirs IIivkit Phenomenon-.—A few weeks
ago the bed of the river Klomoth, in California,
suddenly rose several feet, converting the
stream into a broad and shallow torrent. The
Vreka Journal explains the phenomenon as
follows: . •
Vrhc river, where the uprising took place,
was ver3- deep, with a slate rook bottom, which
the eddies in the river gradual^- wore through
making an escape for a strata of clinlk jfoinia
tion, heavily pressed, no doubt, by the hill
back of the bank, which sunk down level at the
same time the bed of the river rose up. As
the original bank, with large trees along it,
between tho sunken hill and river channel re
main firm, the natural suposition is that the
foundation of that locality is of solid rock,
with a vacuum from which the chalk substance
emanated. Since the rise in tho river from
last week's rains, the stream is fast washing
away the chalky incumbrance intruding its
original channel. The locality is about thirty
miles from Yrcka, and we learn that - some of
our citizens contemplate visiting the scene.”

A loving daughter and an affectionate sister
has gone—gone up to heaven—leaving behind
disconsolate parents alula weeping sister to
mourn, because of their sad bereavement.—
Weep not then sorrow stricken ones, nor let
the tear of anguish swell in thy heart. Not
j’ou alone are made sad, for in the departed
one were blended all the graces of life, arid
appreciating friends weep with 3'ou. She whom
we loved is gone; ns shone her life on earth,
beautiful in its simplicity; so sbe shall ever
shine in that ever blessed country where there
is no dfcath. Her life was . pore, and when
death came be bore her away gently.
As fades a summer cloud awa3',
As sinks the gale when storms are o’er,
As gently shuts the e3-e of day,
As dies the wave along the shore.
