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 down. The Red River House on the corner of Main and Winchester street, has been consumed. 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. apparent among the ranks of the Sheriff’s force, j ^ * 8 proposed in antagonism to the President s views A N E X HIB IT I 6 N OF MY OWN IMPORTATION.

A curios ity to see all that could be seen doubtless caused this 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 homes.

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.

Capt. Smythe, commanding a squad of regulars, arrived on the spot, aud through 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, PHOTOGRAPHS, Porcelain Ac Ambrotypes, IN THE HIGHEST STYLE OF THE ART. Copying done in the best manner. Pictures made as well in cloudy as in clear weather.

Dennis, a brother-in-law of Dr. Dickinson, and an old resident of this city, was shot and killed in what is known as Frank’s Saloon, on Bank Alley, between Madison aud Monroe streets.

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.
