Times, 19th Tux MURDERED JOURNALISTS— Postmaster 1 Jewell’s Opinion of the Spanish Butchers. The New York Times has received no turther inivrmation as to the shooting of its correspond- ent, Mr. Buckland. Intelligence of the affair was immediately communicated to Postmaster General Jewell, whose secretary Mr. Buckland had been in Russia, anda special dispatch from Washington to the Times in the absence of definite particulars Gov. Jewell could only con- jeciure that Buckland was shot on the pretence that he was @ spy with a concealed purpose, which is very probably a determination to pre- vent the publication of any letter or informs- tou from Cariist camps. As Mr. Buckland and his comrade, Mr. Jerrard, are Englishmen, the duty would devolve npon England in dem«nud- ing from Spain whatever explanation and resti- tution may be just and necessary. A dispatch from Bayonne says; It is reported at Ce Bucklan4, Gorreapondent of the New \ 'tmés, who was en route for the Carlist headquarters, and Francis Jerrard, a repre- sentative of the English Carlist committeo, have ited. These two gentiemen started publicans, it is believed Buckland a1 are the parties referred to.

THE ENFORCEMENT ACT. Anticipated Trouble in Shreveport. THREATENED ARREST OF SEVENTY OF THR LEADING MERCHANTS—A NOVEL WAY TO R®- DUCE TRE NEGRO VOTR—RESISTANCE INTI- MATED. w Yorx, October 2 Times, Gated Shreveport, ith, says:—The greatest excitement prevails in Shreveport froin the prospective arrest of seventy leading mer- chants and property holders. Afidavits have been made and warrants of arrest prepared for them on the ground that they bave violated the enforcement act by endeavoring to intimidate begro voters. The facts ars, these gentlemen feeling that it was necessary to succeed at the forthcoming elections to save themselves from utter financial ru determined not to employ any colored men who should vote against them ‘They therefore drew up and published in the Shreveport Times the following card “SEREVRTORT, October 16 —We, the ander signed, merchants of the city of Shreveport, tn obedience to a request of the Shreveport cam pain club, agree to nse every endeavor to ge! our employes to vote the paople’s ticket at th: ensuing election, and in the event of their re- fusal so to de, or in case they vote the radical ticket, to refuse to employ them at the expira- tion of their present contracts.” This was signed by (9 of the leading merchants of the city. Though this is an effort to itluence the coming election, and therefore blamcable, yet it is claimed that It is a commendable effort to restore @ better state of things by the ballot without having recourse to revol jutionary meas ures. If warrants of arrest are issued there is a general determination on the part of younger Merchants who are implicated to mouut the horses and take to the woods. This might end in a guerrilla warfare. A. B. Levissee, formerly district judge and a candidate (or the legisla ture on the radical ticket, is the U.S. commis sioner betore whom the affidavits were made, d whose duty it is to issue warrants of arrest The rumor of the intended coup coming to the ¢ars of the citizens this a. m., an old geutieman eslied on the U. S. commissioner and asked hima tor the facts. He said that the ramor was cor rect, and that he would have to order the arrests and bail the prisoners, or to resign and leave the distasteful task to others. Itis believed chi he intends to resign ostensibly to please the cit zens, but really to give the accused over into the hands of the U. S. marshal, who would take them all to New Orleans. This was done in the Colfax case, when hundreds of witnesses for an‘ *gainst were carried down to the capi kept there at their own expense for al months, on and o%.
