Frequently they h ive appeared in uniforms, or with their badg es. marching up and down the streets, with drum and fife, going through the military drills, etc. The Postmaster, a very aged man, has a great dislike to such displays, and on former occa sions had let them know it. On Christmas day the negroes were marching by the office, and, with gun in hand, lie called on them to halt. The gun was charged and the hammer raised. They took it from him and shot it off, throwing him down at the same i time, and made some boastful remarks about | it. While no one justified tiie old man, every ! one felt indignant at the treatment be had re | ceived. The next day the society again formed j at the usual place of meeting, and marched . toward the business part ot town. !• rank Davenport, a white man, quite intoxicated, i rode up the street, meeting the negroes, and i encouraged them to come on, that he would lead them. He then turned and rode at full speed, forcing his horse into a store. T his in tensified the excitement, and was regarded by many of the citizens as the outburst of hostil ities, and of a fixed purpose on the part of the Leaguers to overrun the place. Earnest efforts were made on the part of the citizens to stop the disturbance. Davenport dismounted in front of the house, but could not be pacified. James Lyle and others tried to reason with him, but he was furious. At this time he received a gun from the hands of a mulotto. one of the principal men of the so ciety. With this he shot Lyle, wounding him in the arm. Lyle shot also,*killing Davenport instantly. The negroes fled in every direction, and order was restored. ~ Citizen.
