Letter from GOV. Hendricks.

INDINAPOLIs, April 15.-The Indiana
polls tSentine! tomorrow will contain a
short letter from Gov. Hendricks, defln-
ing his position in reference to the ru-
mOrs freely circulated as to the signifi-
canCc of his recent trip to Washington.
Gov. Hendricks says, in reply to direct
inquiry, my visit to Washington city had
nothing whatever to do with political
matters, and whilst there had less con-
verSatiOn in relation to parties and party
organizations than at any former visit to
that city, and l was quite surprised
when | learned that the newspaper cor.
respondents attributed to me any political
purpose. A cause in the Supreme Court
and some business In the Departments oc.
cupied nearly all of my time, and my con.
versations with 1rienus and acquaintance
upon public and political matters were
casual and without arrangement, and l
might say without design. l have eX-
pressed the hope, which earnestly enter.
tain, that all who sincerely desire thor
Ough reform in the public service shall 80
act together as to restore integrity
and economy In that service and
place the public authority once
more upon Constitutional basis,
How this may be best accomplished,
whether throug gh our existing organizs-
tion or by movement introducing new
elements, shoIld be carefully considered
and the action of the Democratic, Liberal
and Reform elements in the States will
probably suggest the best general action.
| believe large majority of the people
desire a change in the administration and
the practical question is, how they shall
come together with a view to that end:
Very truly yours, T.. A. HENDRICKS.

Tho Eric investigation. .

ALBANY, April 15-The Eric 1nvcsti-
cation Committee met in the Court OF
Appeals. Hamilton Harris wus called
and sworn and examined by Stickney,
Counsel for the Company as follows: !
see by the public journals that 1t is stated
received from the Eric Company $780,
900 inslsG9; $4,000 in 1869 and in 1870,
$4,000. wish 10 say that these sums
were paid me for my services and TO
pay the Counsel l had engaged.
These sums were all received Tor that
purpose except that paid portion for
some Susquehanna stock. l sec 1t stated
that certain counsel deny they were en-
ployed by me, but they cannot deny they
were employed by MIR, Gould personally,
and that paid for their services. can
not tell definitely how much the amounts
were that paid out l have no account
which kept. paid some OF tho money
to Cagger, $4,000 l think, and to Judge
Parker $1,000. These were not the full
amounts; they were paymentslon account.
Iretained them, and paid them from time
to time, all expenses Of the Susquehanna
litigation fees, Sherifi's fees, &c. l paid
some $4,000 or $1,000 in settlement Of
suits brought against the Eric Company.
l did this in two cases; those sums came
out Of the $89,000 l received In 1868,
1869, and 1870. Ihad a settlement for one
year; It was q retainer Of $4,000 for one
year; did business for the company be-
fore tho Legislature; l represented the
company In the matter also IN 1868 as to
an over issue Of bonds; again in 1868 con.
cerning another investigation as to an
over issue; / was also thus employed in
1870; employed various counsel;
l may have talked to Van Vechten
as to the legislative matters, but not in
the nature OF q consultation. l never had
any talk with BSrber. have had con-
servation with General Dlven in two
years, think that never had any talk
with him about money being paid to
anybody or TO Mr.. Wright. l received
more than the $GS,00O alluded to, but !
cannot say how much 1t was. 1t was used
to pay for my legal services, for those Of
other counsel, and for appearances before
legislative committee. During all my
five years connection with the Erie Com
pany never spoke to member of the
Legislature concerning legislative matters
outside Of the committee rooms. lido not
recollcct seeing butcher since last winter.
To Mr.. Babcock I may have paid out
come Of this amount for election purposes
in 1868 and possibly in 1860, but never to
be used In Senatorial or other Legisla-
ture elections. 1t was for general cleo.
tion. was at that time Chairman Of the
Republican General Committee, and Mr..
Gould contributed some to the election
fund, which was about 5000. Ireceived
about $500 per year for my own ser
vices. All have received since 1870 has
been for my own professional services. !
have no knowledge Of money being used
to influence the Legislature, nor Of its be-
ing used to elect Senators or others.

MysterLous Attempt 70 Murder.

CONCORD, April 15-In Gambia last
night a mysterious attempt was made to
murder a boy IS years Of age, named Jno.
Emerson, who was temporarily stopping
at the house OF Charles Rowe, o farmer.
A noise alarmed some Of the family about
midnight, when young Emerson was
found in his Bed insensible with three
terrible gashes upon his head and face
inflicted with an ak which'was found on
the floor. There Is a slight prospect Of
his recovery. The assassin obtained his
entrance through the window and es'
capped the same way. Some OF the
neighbors think the act was committed
by boy about the same age named kitz,
while asleep. Fitz Is a somnamouliSt,
and has frequently gotten up In his sleep.

A Conflict Between Blacks and
Whites In Grant Parish.
Fight for Possession Of the Village
of COlfaX.

Fight for Possession Of the Village
OF COlfax.
NEW ORLEANS, April 15.-The steam.
boat South Western, which arrived at
about 1870 o'clock this evening, brings
stirring and important news from Grant
parish. The whites have retaken COL
lax, and there is not negro TO be found
for miles around. From the passengers
on the Southern steamer we CLEAN the fol-
lowing: ,
The negroes had strongly entrenched
themselves in the Court House, and built
breastworks three and four feet high.
There were, it is said about four hundred
men armed and equipped thoroughly.
On Sunday at about twelve O'Clock about
one hundred and fifty white men, who
had gathered from surrounding parishes,
made an attack on the breastworks and a
brisk fight was kept up until some where
near three o'clock. The breastworks
were then stormed and the captured ne.
groes taking refuge in the court house,
The doors of which were bRrricRded.
After some further fighting the negroes
threw out flag OF truce and several de.
tachments ot men advanced on 1t, when
they were fired on by the besieged party
WOunding several, one OF whom was
Captain Hadnot, who was shot In the
bowels and it is feared fatally wounded.
They retrcated outside Of the breast
works, and as the only means OI dis
lodging the negroes the court house was
set on ilre, and they were shot as they
came from the burning bHilding. 1t is
reported that between eighty and one
hundred negroes were killed, and there
were none 10 be found for miles around.
The captain Of the steamboat South
Western makes the following statement:
ave arrived at ColIax on Sunday even
ing about eight o'clock, and found that tue
white people, tho sheriff, / suppose, at
their head, had captured the town attcr q
conflict with the negroes. It was reported
that about one hundred negroes had been
killed and many others wounded. We
saw from the boat about eighteen or
twenty lying around on the banks dead.
One white man was reported killed,
whose name l did not learn, and two very
seriously wounded, Messrs. Hadnot ant
Harris. Mr.. Hadnot was shot through
the bowels, and 1t is supposed that he is
mortally wounded. We brought Messrs.
Harris and Hadnot down from Colfax 10
Alexandria. Three or four other white
men were slightly wounded. About 100
negroes escaped, but it was reported that
the whites were still pursuing them. All
OF the leaders Of the riot escaped, espe'
cially the white men. The negroes am-
buscaded themselves in the court house,
and the whites finding that there was no
other mode Of attack, left them and set
fire to the building. The whites num-
bered in the neighborhood Of 15O men.
The fight lasted from about noon until
nearly s =. NJ. The whites are now in
possession OF COltax, and when left last
Sunday night everything was very quiet.

The Wreck OF the Atlantic.

HALIFAX, April 16.-The only effect Of

NEW YORK, April 15.-The London
papers ct hand to-day, state that the frat
dispatch received by the owners Of the
steamship Atlantic, announcing the loss
of the vessel, attributed the disaster to the
watch on deck, miStaking 9ambro for
DEVILS Light. 1t appears that Miss
Rawdon was reported as among the cabin
passengers disembarked at Queenstown.
New York, April 15.-A London tel.
egram Of the 4th says that the steamer
Atlantic left on her last trip for New
York with 967 tons Of coal, and that 1t
was the intention to send her out on her
next voyage with only 800 tons. The
captain, purser and engineer dispatched
letters homo TO the owners from Queens
town, each Of which were more than usu.
ally gratifying. The engines were stated
to be working well, and the coal was
described as being superior to previous
supplies furnished the company.
ETAnITAz, APPil 1R-Tha weather con.
tinues too rough Tor work at the Atlantic.
When itmOderates Capt. Hendan's divers
will commence a special search for the
bodies. The White Star agents have
agreed to pay $50 for every cabin body
recovered and SEQ for every steerage.
Judge Jackson, United States Counsul
at this port, has been untiring in his exer-
tions on behalf Of the survivors and their
bereaVed friends and relations.
The captain and officers Of the Atlantic
having discredited the statement oil the
quartermaSter, Thomas, who said he eau.
toned the second officer against
the danger and that he after
wards assisted in saving the passengers.
Twenty-Five seamen, stewards, and eDgi-
neers have signed paper, testi(yiDg that
Thomas saved their lives. There are many
persons who warmly espouse Thomas
course, and say that the captain sent him
off to England by the first steamer to get
clear Of him, lest he should make un.
pleasant revelations.
