“Tho impolicy of removing Mr. Sumnerfrom

The German Ton Tralle Music Hall was attacked

Federal Council, at once, ordered the adoption
of military measures to put an end to the tu
mult, and prevent its recurrence. Disturbances,
nevertheless, were resumed on Friday, when
Ton Tralle Hall, of the Germans, was again
stormed by the French, and the German flag was
tom to pices. Subsequently a large number of
people of Zurich, who sympathized with
Germans, attacked the prison in which 16
officers of the French Mobile Guard, who were
arrested the previous day, were imprisoned.
The Swiss soldiers guarding the prison at once
fired upon and repulsed the mob, but, unfor

people in honsos on the opposite side of the

fanlry, and two batteries of artillery to assiBt

Saturday evening, the 4th inst., about 74
o clock, a fire broke out at Meridian, Miss., in
the 8tore of T. Sturges, resulting in the destruc
tion of the entire block on Front, between Lee
and Johnson streets. The following are the
names of the sufferers with tbe amounts of
their losses, as given by the Gazette: '
Hurlbntt Bro.’s store and stock, insured for
§13,000; Theo. Sturges, two buildings and
stock, insured for §9,000; Bosenbaum & Guliy,
store and stock, insured for §3,000; the oh I
Henry House, occupied as a family grocery,
moat of the stock lost; Mrs. M. E. Chadwick’s
storehouse, insured for §2,000; MeCaskilL in
sured for §800; house owned by J. W. Harvey,
occupied [by M.. Boos, loss heavy, some insur
ance on goods; Fry’s shoe shop; Hand’s saloon;
h<mse owned by Dr. Broach, unoccupied; the
old Tennebaum building, recently purchased,
and one payment made by Mrs. H. Scott, not
insured—furniture, etc., loss to the amount of
§3,000. Total losses about §75,000, with §28,-
000 insured. The fire originated in the garret
of Sturges’ store, where there had been no fire
d’jtiiig the day, and was doubtless incendiary.
-There was considerable plundering by negroes
daring the fire, and a turbulent negro named
Billy Clopton, who has a so-called negro militia
at his command, and was parading them in
arms on the street previous to the fire, ex
pressed great exultation at the sight of “ rebel
property’’ burning. The Gazette says:
He drew a pistel on a man who remonstrated
and would have killed him but for the interfer
ence of a friendly negro. "While inarching up
the street in front of the fire with pistol in
hand, cursing rebels and gloating over their
misfortunes, he was suddenly and very unex
pectedly knocked down, disarmed and left to his
colored comrades who carried him out of the
crowd, when he beat a hasty retreat for home.
About this time, while the fire was raging, and
onr citizens straggling to arrest it and save a
little of their property, the bell at the Afrioan
church pealed forth the usual signal for the ne
groes to repair there. This was more than our
people could st

and a request made for the arrest of Clopton.
Southern Agriculture Reviving.
Under this head the New York Commercial
Advertiser of Wednesday says:
A very hopeful sign comes to us this Spring
from the South. From all parts, particularly
the cotton-growing regions, our manufacturers
are taxed to the full extent of their ability in
supplying agricultural implements—not “im
proved machinery,” strictly speaking, so much
as ploughs, hoes, spades, and other small wares.
They hear much about “sub-soil” ploughing,
which really is something new. Instead of sat
isfying themselves with stirring the surface,
planters seem to have made the discovery that a
few inches deeper in the earth, below the ex
hausted soil, they have a new farm, capable of
yielding more bountifully than they had ever
i magined. A light kind of plough for working
the surface, is also in heavy demand. One man
ufacturing establishment in New York has three
factories engaged on this work incessantly.
These are sure indications that the Southern
people are reorganizing their labor system, re
cuperating their energies, and going to work in
earnest. Unlike agriculturists of other sections,
they work on a large scale, occupying broad
acres; and this waking up of a few million peo
ple, this girding of themselves anew, most
speedily tell upon the general weaL
It is singular that among the various new en-
teprises started in the South since .the war, no
body has projected, on any thing like an ex
tensive scale, a manufactory of agricultural
implements. Surely, with our cheap and bet
ter timber, cheaper labor, inexpensive water
power, the saving to be effected on such cum
brous freights and numerous other advantages,
a large and profitable business might be elabo
rated at some central point in every State, in
getting up the common agricultural implements
’ itations.
demanded, on our plantat:
of the posse and arrested Mr. Clopton and placed
him under guard in the court-house. The tur
bulent threats of the negroes and their white
allies called the citizens together again Sunday
afternoon and evening, when one hundred men
volunteered to vindicate the law and crash law
lessness, no matter from whence it might come.
The town was well policed Sunday night and a
strong gnard of citizens kept over Clopton to
see that he wa3 neither rescued nor molested.
A squad of armed negroes was dispersed and
sent home, and Monday morning a large meet
ing of the citizens was held in the interests of
good order. In the afternoon the examination
of Clopton and two others, Aaron Moore and
Warren Tyler, came on before Justice Bramlette,
and the evidence showed that violent incendiary
threats had been made at the negro gathering
Saturday. Tyler insultingly contradicted the
testimony of a Mr. Brantley, who threatened
him with his cane, and advanced towards Urn
within eight or ten feet.
At this juncture, says tho Gazette, Gen. Pat
ten, City Marshall, caught Brantly and held
him. White he was thus held filter drew a re
peater and commenced firing at Brantly. At
the first fire Judge Bramlette was shot through
the head and instantly killed. The room was
crowded with white and black who were attend
ing the trial, and as great exoitement was pre
vailing, an indiscriminate firing commenced;
_
in which William Clopton and a negro named
Gus Ford were killed, and several persons, white
and black, wonnded. After firing several shots,
Tyler jnmped out of tho window and ran np the
street As soon as it was known that he had
killed Judge Bramlette, he was pursued, and on
refusing to surrender, was instantly killed.
Tyler fired a number of shots at the parties in
pursuit of him, and resisted his capture until
tho very last
Judge Bramlette was a man universally loved
and respected. He had been Judge of Probate,
and was, at the time of his death, Justice of the
Peace and a member of tho Board of Aldermen.
Clopton and Tyler were turbnlont and disorder
ly negroes, who have been stirring np strife in
this community for the last two or three years.
Their greatest desire seemed to be to stirnp
enmity between tho races and do all themis-
! in their power.

A Nathan Harder in New Orleans.
Last Tuesday morning, Mr. F. W. Perkins,
proprietor of the Alliance Line of Havana and
Florida Steamships, was found dead in his office
at No. 26 Carondelet street Over his right ear
and above tbe temple was a pistol shot wound,
which had evidently occasioned immediatedeath;
if, indeed, the fearful beating he had received
over the head had not previously produced in
sensibility. The back part of bis head had been
beaten to a pulp. The skull was fractured in
twenty places, as if he had been stricken down
by some heavy instrument and pounded until
life was extinct. It is probable that the pistol
shot was fired afterwards by the assassins to
make snre tho butchery was complete.
Mr. Perkins left his office Monday night at
tho usual hour and went to his residence at the
corner of Annunciation and Sixth streets,
but probably forgetting some paper or other
valuable, he returned to his office at a late hour
of the night. This is the supposition of his
friends. He was doubtless followed back by
his assailant and murdered as related.
Next morning, when his office was entered
by the porter, Perkins was found lying on the
floor in a pool of blood—the room in great con
fusion—the safe opened by keys taken from
the pocket of the victim and robbeef—his money
and watch gone, and a small single barreled
pistol, which had been discharged, by his side.
Perkins was a young man of thirty-one years of
age—with a wife and two children—a very fine
looking and popular man.
Houston Agricultural Club.
Editors of Telegraph and Messenger :
The fanners of Houston county were well
represented as regards solidity, intelligence and
numbers, in a meeting held the 7th inst. in
Perry, for the purpose of completing the organi
zation of the County Agricultural Club, and to
decide whether or not the county shall have
majority decided to
a small majority it
Yalley
at it should be held at Fort Ya
a Fair this year. A largo
have a connty Fair, and by
was agreed that it should be
instead of Perry.
“Onoe upon a time,” it was thought-that
practical farmers were more addioted to work,
than pnblio talk. However, this may be, it is
certainly true that at this meeting, there was
quite a multitude of addresses on immaterial
points of Parliamentary law, some of which ad
dresses seemed to be entirely satisfactory to the
parties who delivered them.
Messrs. Editors, can you prescribeaan Infal
lible remedy for “CacoetheB Ioqnendf’ when it
has reached the planting community ? The
disease is said to be incurable when a lawyer
takes it. Toward the close of the meeting, the
assemblage was startled almost ont of its pro
priety, by the announcement of the presence of
a “guano" man.
The feeling approaohed
when it was farther annour
near to excitement
announced that this gentle-
sold it at
man prepared his guano honestly and
low rates. The gentleman made some remarks
which were well received.
By the way, I doubt not that there are honest,
clever gentlemen engaged in the business of
manipulating guano. Tho’ it cannot be denied
that the temptation to adulterate, to sand and
to salt is very strong.
Everybody having Sfcid all they desired to say,
the meeting adjournedto first Tuesday in April,
when there will be farther action respecting
the county fair.

The Postmasters and Mutilated Oubbenot.
Treasurer Spinner has decided that postmasters
must receive mutilated currency for its full
value in payment for stamps, when, in cases of
United States notes, not more than one-twentieth
of the note is missing, and in cases of fractional
currency when not more than one-tenth is miss
ing. When such notes and fractional currency
are mutilated beyond the standard referred to
no one is compelled to receive them for any
part of their valae, and the only place where
such notes may be redeemed is at the United
States Treasury. _

OBITUARY.
eparted this life at his residence in Marion
aty, five minutes after 12 o’clock at night, on
tho 22d day of February, Judge Wm. M. Deane.
It is with sorrow that we are permitted to know
that God in His wiBdom has seen proper to remove
a man of such sterling worth. Yet since it has
pleased Him to visit such a sad dispensation, it is
every <
i, perfee
Christian worth. In every walk of life he was a
pattern worthy of imitation. His occupation was
that of a fanner, and well did his success demon
strate that education is a powerful auxiliary in this
most noble branch of industry. With him the
culture of the soil was a science, and the annual
return of a rich harvest blessed him with plenty.
Fortune smiled and all aronnd him wore the ap-
pearence of perfect satisfaction. His loss as a
citizen will leavo a vacum hard to fill; his church a
brother in whom the Christian graces were happily
blended, and the Masonic fraternity a worthy
member. But his Iobs is felt most at home around
the family fireside. His grief stricken widow and
his affactionate and dutiful children lament
not without cause. Judge DBASE was all
that a fond wife could desire in a hus
band, and as a parent, fall of sweet counsel and
affection. True they have every encouragement to
believe that “their loss is his eternal gain, T ’ bnt how
hard to part with ono so dear, even to give birth
to an angel’s plaoein heaven. I would say to the
grief stricken wife, “God doeth all things well,” bow
submissively to His will; to the children, now de
prived of that sweet smile, trust in the wisdom and
mercy of a Heavenly Father. He will secure to you
hi a promises.
Judge Drane at present sleeps, but the morning
of tho resnrection will call him forth among the just
and in the world of the blest will spend an end
less eternity. A Friend.
