Amid the wild excitement which prevailed through
out the city on Tuesday night last, the impossibility
of stating matters just as they occurred will be readi-
Iv appreciated by our readers. What is presented be
low, however, can be rolied-upon, as it either came
under our own observation, or the information was
impartod to us by others who were preeent.

Day had no sooner dawned on the morning of yes"
terday than the conflict began to rage anew between
the whites and blacks, notwithstanding the efforts
made by the county and city officers to check it.
Shota were exchanged, the negroes firing from a
mound laying due east from the forts, on South street,
and from their shanties, which lay just in the rear of
South street, outside the corporate limits, and which
cover an area of land about a square mile in extent.
The whites were scattered along South Causey and
Hernando streets, and subsequent to the firing of
the first few shots, became so infuriated and blind
with rage—adverting to the proceedings of the day
previous, and more particularly to the killing of
Dunn—that all efforts of the officials in attempting to
restrain them were entirely disregarded. It was dur
ing this period of frenzy and of rage that about six
negroes were killed, the particulars of which we re
serve for another place in this report.
THE POLICE,
The police, yesterday, again. displayed that discre
tion and judgment which is *o highly -commendable,
in rescuing negroes from the hands of the crowd, and
committing them to places of safety. .The best evi
dence of this is the fact that no less than eight or ten
negroes in the fort said to us that if it wera not for
the police they would not then he alive.
THE NEGROES AND APPEARANCE OF SOUTH MEMPHIS
ABOUT FIVE O’CLOCK, P. M.
About five o’clock yesterday evening'the scene of
the late riot appeared as if nothing had happened ;
negroes could be seen here and there on the streets,
some at work and others walking carelessly along.
This eafne state of affairs was perceptible over the en
tire southern part of the city.
LAST NIGHT—THE FIB*.
The alarm of fire last night was occasioned by the
burning of a negro school-house, on the corner of
Beal and Wellington streets. It was burned to the
ground ere the-engines reached the spot
Another school-house on the corner of Pontotoc and
Hernando streets, was also consumed.
A church and school-house in the neighborhood of
the fort were also burned.
As we go to press,a lire has broke out among a nest of
cabins, on the Overton tract, directly east of the Mis
sissippi and Tennessee railroad depot. Should the
flames extend to the adjoining cabins, it will doubt
less jirove destructive.
About 12y z o’clock this morning a fire has broke out
in a number of shanties on Poplar street extended.

EFFECT OF THE NEWS “UP TOWN.”
When the new3, wild and exaggerated as it was,
reached the upper part of the city, about 10 o’clock,
that the riot was in progress on South street, and had
assumed large proportions, it created considerable
consternation. Parties were running here and there
in search of lire arms, horses, etc., while others were
congregating on street corners, discussing as to-what
course should be pursued.
ARMING THE CITIZENS.
Sheriff Winters and his efficient deputies, General
Wallace aud others, immediately set about summon
ing a posse of three hundred men. As fast os a body
of twenty or thirty men were collected they were sup
plied with shot guns aud ammunition at the store of
H. Folsen & Co'., on Main street. [Appropo of this
fact, however, it would not be improper to remark,
that the statement by one of our contemporaries, to
the effect that this store was broken open, is wholly
incorrect. The contrary would be nearer the fact.]
Several squads were then armed and equipped. Upon
arriving at tho “front” tho cause which had called
them together had, fortunately, almost ceased to exist, i
for the day at least,.
FIRING ON THE CITIZENS.
Previous to the arrival of either tho Sheriff's force
or the 16th U. S. Regulars, Chief of Police Garrett
was engaged in organizing and .drawing up into line
the members of the police, and such citizens as were
in the vicinity of the corner of South and Alain
streets. It was while these men were standing in line
on the ground known as the Old Norris Cemetery,that
fifteen or twenty negro soldiers banded together and
took possession of a cabin, situated on a hillock about
one hundred and fifty yards distant, anil poured two
or three volleys into the ranks of Captain Garrett’s
men, none of whom, strange to say, were in any de
gree injured. This party compelled the citizens to re
treat a short distance beN’ond, none of them being, at
that time, supplied with other arms than iiistolaL
These, owing to the long range,' could not be used
with any effect. Major Park, while standing in the
I vicinity, narrowly escaped being wounded, perhaps
killed; several of the balls scattering tne dust over his
garments. After remaining about the shed twenty
minutes or thereabouts, the negroes cooly retired
within the fort, taking their arms aitd ammunition
with them.
THE NEXT HOUF..
were it not for the strenous exertions of the Sheriffs
force which had arrived on the ground, and the police
under charge of Capt. Garrett, might have been fraught
with the most disastrous evils, so high and so uncon
trollable were the passions of the crowd. After the sun
had reached itB meridian, a great deal of straggling
A negro, whose name we could not learn was shot
and killed on Beal street near Causey, last night about
1114 o’clock.
Another was shot and killed on Exchange street.
Another fire is in progress at this hour, (1.30) on
tho corner of Bull Run and Alabama streets. The
grocery store of Mr. McCormack has been burned to
the ground.
Still another fire has broken out, beyond the Mem
phis and Charleston depot. Results not known.
The church on Washington street has been burnt

FROM WASHINGTON*
Tlie Reconstruction Plans and the Next
Presidential Election—Partisan
Fear of the President’s
Policy, &c., &c.
[Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.]
Washington, May 1.—The bearing of the new Re-
publican project, of reconstruction upon the next
Presidential election will be regarded with much
interest by all parties. Should the President’s plan
of restoration prevail, the eleven Southern States
would be represented by loyal men at once, and these
would be in full participation with other States of all
rights as members of the Union. But these States, it
is contended by the Republicans, would, with the
aid of one or two semi-rebel States, as they choose to
term them, and of certain Northern States which are
always ready to be demoralized, give a majority of
electoral votes for a candidate who would be
nominated in opposition to the candidate of the Repub
lican party.
Congress will, therefore, persist in measures to de
feat this combination. The eleven Southern States
are in the Union for some purposes, and are ac
knowledged to be so by two • out ot three branches of
the Federal Go vein m out. These States may, and
probably will choose presidential electors, according
to the provisions of the existing constitutions. When
the votes are counted, it will belong to the President
pro tern, of the Senate to count such votes aa he
plea sea. aud declare the result. He would either act
with his party or not. In either way, if the result
would be affected by his decision, a political crisis
would arise.
The proposed constitutional amendment assumes
that the eleven Southern States are not in the Union.

straggling, which resulted in tho arrest of all those so
found by a squad of the Sixteenth United States Regu
lars, in whose ranks, gun in hand, they were placed.
By this means, and the stationing of guards at the dii-
ferent crossings leading beyond South street, tho ex
citement was partially allayed, and tho crowd, num
bering 500 in all, began to disperse and leave for their

will require the ratification of thirty States.
The Republicans express surprise that any opposi-
b entire number killed—14, which is: tion should be made to the scheme, except b} r the
28. j .Sumner radicals, for it takes the negro suffrage ques
tion, as they say, out oi politics.
If the section disqualifying all who voluntarily took
part in the rebellion till 1870 were stricken out, the
amendment might prevail; but if that were out, the
Republican majority would disown and reject it, for
it is the gist of the whole scheme. The plan means
simply that the Republican party intend to hold their
power in Congress not only for this, but for tho next
Congress, aud intend also tohavo the next Presidency.

which were first pillaged by a set of thieving voiyig ras
cals not unknown in the cuminal annals of Meiffphis—
we mean the “Mackerels”—and after a wholesale “gob
bling” of everything of any value, were set fire to and
burned to the ground. Capt. Smythe, commanding a

the assistance rendered -him, was enabled to stay the
progress of the flames and prevent a repetition of
similar conduct.
A « LANCE AT THE DEAD—THEIR NAMES—WHERE THEY
WERE SHOT AND HOW THEY WERE KILLED.
Tho number of negroes killed during botli days,
was variously estimated at from 22 to 28; ovary olio of
whom we inquired, saw no less than the first num
ber, and no two locating the situation of the dead. In
the possession of this lengthy, satisfactory and lucid
information, as a basis to start upon, we resolved to
see for ourselves. After a cartful survey of the entire
locality for a couple of miles around, we saw the bo
dies of 13 dead negroes, six of whom were killed tho
evening previous. This, together with tho negro
soldier Jackson Goodwin, who died from the effects of
his wounds, on Thursday night, in tho station-house,
constitutes the
neither 22 nor
During Tuesday evening, ou the banks of the
bayou, just beyond South street, and nearly opposite
second bayou bridge, we fouud the bodies of three
dead negroes, all of whom were shot the evening
.previous.
Thafirst was Lewis Robinson, aged about twenty
one years, dressed in a soldier’s uniform, and said to
be one ot tho originators of the affair. Was killed
while running, with pistol in hand. One bail passed
through both jaws, aud another through his >»ide. He
died in a few minutes after ho was shot.
The second \yas Bob Cochran, a negro well known
in this city. He was employed as a laborer on the
new race track; and it>was supposed by some was shot
while returning homo; others assert that he was an
active participant. He was aged about thirty-five
years, and leaves a wife and three children. The
bail which resulted in his death, passed directly
through his head.
The third was Daniel Hawkins, also employed as a
laborer on the new race track; was shot a lew minutes
alter Cochran. He was armed, aud when ordered to
halt, turned and shot at his pursuers. He was aged
about thirty year9, and also leaves a wile and several
cnildreu. Snot with a pistol ball through the neck,
and lived but about ten minutes after.
Jackson Goodwin, a member of Company K, 55th
United States Colored Iulantry, shot through both
sides; died in the station house ou Tuesday night.
He was armed to the teeth, and defied the crowd.
A negro, whose name lias not been brougth to light,
was shot on tho Beal street bridge and otherwise mal
treated. He wasfullj - forty yeatfs old, and, we learn,
was quite inoffensive and orderly. He has since died..
On youth street, in a number of cabins situated be
tween Causey asd Hernando streets, aiainuel Raymond
aud Harry Jones, both civilians, were killed. The}’
were quite young, and it is said were leading the
crowd against the police’. Jones is a bright mulatto,
quite intelligent, audit is said wielded a powerful in-
nnonce among his associates.
This comprises the entire number killed on Tues
day evening. Several others were wounded, not mor
tally, however. The reports of negroes being killed
in tho upper part ol the city on Tuesday nigiit are
untrue.
IN THE FOBT YESTERDAY.
While talking fo a number of negroes within the
fort yesterday,, it became evident to us that the ex
citement extended among the negroes to even a greater
degree than among the populace. Among the wild
stones which they heard were that the negro women
and children were being burnt, and that Almost every
negro in The upper part of the city had been killed.
Some spoke in rather a conciliatory tone, while others
were quite obstrepulous find indignant.
and policy. The ameniiment will pass Congress, even
if it go no further. Whether it be ratified or not by
the requisite number of States, it will settle the
presidential election in favor of the Republican ma
jority of Congress. If it be not ratified, Congress will
assume that the eleven Southern States are not en
titled to take part in the presidential election. If it
lie ratified, then the eleven Southern States will
either go with the Republicans or be divided, and
besides, will be curtailed in their number of electoral
votes.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT THINKS OF THE RECONSTRUC
TION PROJECT —STATES NOT LIKELY TO RATIFY THE
SCHEME.
Washington, April 30.—Tho new project of recon
struction from the committee of fifteen is tlie subject
of much remark. It was desirable to mauy to know
what the President thought of it. That is well ascer
tained and known. The President, and at least some
of his friends are more opposed to it than they were
to the first plan of the committee.
The Democrats, in and out of Congress, are all hos
tile to it, because it excludes tlieir party from power
for the next Beven years at least. Some of them say
that it will not go through both houses of Congress by
the requisite two-thifds vote. But that is to be seen
before long. The Republican party in Congress is a
unit upon 1t, aud thej’ command both houses.
The next question is whether the joint resolution
proposing the amendment will* be ratified b>’three-
fourths of the States. There will be opposition to it
from those Northern States which lose some represen
tation by it, but, as the Legislatures are republican, it
may receive the assent of all of them— making twenty-
exclusive of Colorado. Tennessee may accept it,

instantaneous death. Keenan was arrested, but in

VTTEMPT TO RESCUE NEGRO PRISONERS AT GEBMAN-

An attempt wa *nlade yesterday at Germantown, to
rescue from a number of United States Regulars, three
negroes en rout# from this city ^to the Stale Peniten

others with larceny. The plan was, while the white
soldiers were on the platform, for the accomplices ot
Hicsc negroes to above • them off, that the prisoners
might jump off the train while it was in motion. The
plans of the negroes resulied in the death of the
one charged with murder, and tho escape oLthe other
two. Tho confederates also made good their escape.

Stephens over to the care of Dm Keller and Cavan

amputated.
Officer Slatterly, also shot in the thigh, is rapidly re

also doing well.
NEGROES ARRESTED.

all of them, wiih the exception of Bells, escaped; Bells
is now in jail.
Tragedy in Maryland—A Woman Shot.
Tho Boonsbaro’ (Md.) Odd Fellow says: On last
Saturday a tragedy was enacted in Frederick county,
across the mountain, in the neighborhood of Boliver,
ihe particulars of which, as near as we could get them,
are these:
Daniel Shoemaker, who is a married man with a
family, has been in the habit of making private visits
at the house of a widow lady, named Mrs.! Schildtk-
necht, for the purpose of meeting her daughter. On
the night in question, Shoemaker had made an ap
pointment to meet the girl.at the usual trysting place,
r > ... i ..i. ._i„i 1/ it... ........ 41...
and after dark concealed himaelf in Ihe yard, near the
house to await her arrival. In the meantime the
mother had discovered the illicit intercourse held be
tween them, aud that they were to meet that night.
She arrayed herself in the clothing of her daughter,
and at the appointed time weut.mt to meet him. Not
suspecting any deception. Shoemaker came from his
concealment aud met the mother of his victim instead
of the young girl. Reproaches were hurled at the
vile Siducur of her daughter, which ao exasperated
him that he drew a revolver and fired three shots at
her, one of which took effect, Inflicting a serious, if
not ffttal wound. The seducer and would he murderer
lied immediately. Officers are in pursuit of him, and
we hope he may be caught aud punished for his double
crime against law*' aud humanity.
p. s._since writing the above Shoemaker has been
arrested.
Nkguo Suffbage asd the Republican Paety.—
We find this in the N. Y. Sun:
“Negro suffrage is the element which now threatens
the destruction of the Republican party. The. ultra
portion of that party are determined to confer imme
diate and unconditional suffrage upon the negroes of
the whole country, North as well as South. Moderate
Republicans are opposed to that policy, believing It to
he inexpedient and impolitic to put so much political
power into the hands of a class of men who are men
tally incapable of using it discreetly. Some of them
claim that an educational standard should be adopted
as a test for suffrage; others think that the whole sub
ject should be left in the hands of the several States;
but all of this wing of the Republican party agree
that it is unwise for Cofcgreks to force unlimited negro
suffrage upon any State.) In this division ia the gorm
that is likely to grow and expand until it bursts the
bonds that now hold the Republican party together.
The evidence of this is seen in Congresa, in the press,
and in every other index of public opinion. The suf
frage question will prove to be to the Republican
party what the question of slavery extension was to
the Democratic party, resulting In an addition to the
list of parties that have gone down under the baneful
Influence of the multiform negro question.

the following rather singular story :

home and interred. Afterwards news was brought to
the parents by returned Union prisoners- that their

Georgia. Other prisoners returned from there last
spring and brought Ihe news of hie death to the sorely
distressed family. When the war closed an opportu

sent down and had his son brought home again and
