Osceola, Oct. "7, 1872
Deputy Marshal Richards has obtained
sufficient evidence to induce him to arrest
certain persons suspected of the murder of
the two negroes. Washington ami Elijah.
One William AleKiuuey is already under
arrest. The murdered negroes were sent
towards Osceola, in custody, in company
with a party of men who had been re
claiming some cattle belonging to a Mr.
Miller, of New Orleans, and which this
party were driving toward the north part
ot the county. Some of the party came on
iu advance to Osceola, and the test
continued with the cattle. McKinney
says he can prove himself innocent
of llie charge. The evidence taken by
Mr. Richards consists largely of affidavits
of colored men to threatening and imtetn
perato language used by white men, which
these affidavits say were calculated to in
timidate colored men from becoming reg
istered. lam of opinion that if the miss
ing registry books could lie found they
would show the name of most of these
very affiants. Mr. Richards pretends to
have evidence that the first paddle of
anued meu washy whites, especially on
Court week, in the face of Fitzpatrick's
statement that twenty five armed negroes
came into town on Monday ef that week,
while there is no pretence that any aimed
w hite men appealed until the next day.
It appears that the armed white men w ho
acted the part of posse under Sheriff llaz
zard and his Deputy took upon them
selves the name and semblance of a couu
ty militia, and that they gave to those ne
groes whom they did not arrest as ri
oters safe iTMiduels am! passes to return
home, of which the following are

l’ass him. Ry order,
J. F. Davies, Colonel Commanding.
JJ, B. Best, Adjutant.
This William Washington is the father
of the murdered man. This Mr. Richards
construes as a violation of the Enforce
ment Act, although some of the best white
Republican citizens of the county tell me
they have assured Mr. Richards that this
armed body acted purely in self-detencc
and as conservators of tbe peace under the
mandate of the Budge of the Circuit Court,
and that no act of lawless violence Ims
been traced to them, and this is the unan
imous expression of all Hie white men I
have met within the past four days. The
cattle party was distinct affair. They
simply availed themselves of the oppor
tunity to recover their stock. Mr. Rich
ards complains that
A BODY OP ARMED WHITE MEN
crossed into the county from Missouri.
This is true ; they came after the tight was
over to aid the white citizens to resist a
threatened uttack by Sheriff Hardin, of
Crittenden county, at the head of its mill
tin; but as no such attack was made,
neither did these men from Missouri take
any active part in the troubles iu this
county. Rut au armed body of some
twenty-five negroes crossed the river from
Tennessee and acted with Fitzpatrick’s
band. An old citizen, James Oliver, has
just been arrested, the substance of whose
offence is having declurcd that he had
never obeyed a negro officer and, by G—d!
lie never would, with the usual clause
concerning intimidation.
The officers are out making other ar
rests, and these arrests w ill he quite nu
merous from present appearances. Those
arrested will ho taken to Helena, two huu
died miles below here, for preliminary
examination The business of registra
tion is progressing, and from present ap
pearances this county will give a republi
can majority, for very obvious reasons.
The utmost harmony prevails between
white republicans aud former democrats,
and no real distinction scents to exist ex
cept that between what is here called the
"Caucasian" and the negro party. Neither
docs there appear to be any feeling of ani
mosily between these, except that directly
connected with
THAT PI REBRAND FITZPATRICK.
Some think him a little insane ; but if
so, there is method iu his madness. When
it became necessary for him to employ a
lawyer to defend him from the cliurge of
of murder, he, through Hicks’ League,
levied a per capita tax in cotton on all the
negroes in the county, and with this paid
his lawyer's fee.
Au inadvertent interlineation in my last
made me speak of Justice Blackwood as
colored. He is a white man iu every
sense, is one of the Commissioners of
Registration, and is the United States
Commissioner before wiiorn llie affidavits
prepared by Deputy Ma'shal Richards are
sworn to.
Marshal Richards concludes that the
killing of Sheriff Murray by Fitzpatrick
was done iu self-defence, and that the
killing of the negro in the north paid of
the county by Dr. l’uluier, meutioued iu
my last, was a cold-blooded murder. Dr.
Fulmer, after killing the negro, promptly
surrendered himself to Sheriff Ilazzard,
who is a Republ'can, aud who declined to
take him into custody, saying that, having
been assured that the killing was justili
ublc, he only required Dr. Fulmer’s prom
ise to appear when wanted. Richards as
sures me that much of the information
which is furnished him by negroes is un
reliable ; that lie reduces their oral state
ments lo writing, und when they come to
swear to them the matter often turns out
to be merely hearsay'. This afternoon,
while a crowd of citizens were waiting at
the Court-house to he registered, word
came that the
MAUSIIALB WERE OUT MAKING ARRESTS,
when numbers mounted their horses and
left for home w ithout waiting to he regis
tered. To night, the marshals who went
north to arrest Hie men of the cattle party
suspected of killing the two negroes re
turned without their men. It is thought
probible that aftey the cattle party sepa
rated below town the negroes attempted to
make off with the cattle, and that this led
to their being shot.
Justice llicks calls liis colored league a
"benevolent society ” Judge Moore, who
is an er officio Superintendent of the Coun
ty Poor, tells me that on a recent visit to
Hicks’ neighborhood, he was applied to iu
behalf of two or three old and indigent
negro men. and he mentioned their cases
to llicks as proper objects for relief by his
society. Hicks’ answer was worthy of
Aminidab Sleek
"No, sail: ilat’s a county matter, eer
timiy. l)is sietv’s got nuflln to do wid dat
sort o’ cases.”
EXAMINING TUB HOOKS.
I have inspected the official record of
the last annual settlement of the Sheriff,
Clerk and Assessor of this county, for the
year ending with May hist, and find that
none are in default. There is a sum of
about sixteeu hundred dollars held iu abey
ance under an iujuction sued out by the
taxpayers, as being part of an excessive
levy imposed by the State Hoard of Equal
ization. but this money is on deposit in
bank, awaiting the decision of the Supreme
Court, aud the sureties on the injunction
bond are good for a much larger sum.
The presiding judge of the County Court
pronounces this to be the best financial
settlement the county has had for years.
The withholding from assessment of lauds
subscribed to railroads is subject by law
to the control of the State Auditor, and
the county officials have no discretion in
the matter. From these and other facts it
is apparent that the accusations made by
Fitzpatrick against these officials were |
mainly unfounded
All the recent troubles in Mississippi
county arc traceable to Fitzpatrick and !
the black Justice Hicks, with his colored
League. Mr Richards tells me he lias !
warned Fitzpatrick to keep away from the
county, and It* he does so 1 am satisfied !
that tranquility will soon be restored in |
this community. Whether he will return i
to Osceola remains to be seen. In the j
presence of your correspondent he dc- !
dared, at the Overton Hotel, in Memphis, j
a few days ago. that he would return aud
••raise hell."
