A correspondent of the New Orleans
Picaytne, describing the battle at COlfax,
in Grant Parish, on the 18th of April, states
that after the fighting had been going on
nearly all day, and after the negroes had
been driven from every position they held
in the morning, except the courthouse, "be-
tween four and five o'clock in the after
noon, the negroes displayed a white flag
from the courthouse, seeing which, Mr..
Hsdnot, accompanied by Mr.. Harris, went
to the courthouse door. Mr.. Hadnot was
there shot by the negroes, and Mr.. Harris
was drawn into the courthouse, the door
shut and there shot, though probably not
mortally wounded. The whites, seeing
their leader fall, rushed to the courthouse
door, broke it in, rescued Harris, set fire to
the courthouse and, it is said, refused to
grant any quarter, killing all in the build
ing" This case of treacbery finds
a parallel in the butchery Of Gen.
Candy and DIR. Thomas by the Modoc
Indians, with this difference, that it was
the negroes and not the whites who invited
the parley. For their base treachery, an
almost universal demand has come up from
the people of the North that the Modocs
shall be swept from the face of the earth.
But the Republican portion of these self
same men with here and there an excep-
ton. Justify the Louisiana Modocs and de-
mand that the white people shall be pun
ished.
1t is refreshing to find occasionally a
man in the Republican party who has the
courage TO speak out his honest sentiments
in regard to the acts of members of that
party, and especially Of the outrages which
some Of them are committing in the South.
THUS the Providence (R. ~ Journal, OF
which Senator Anthony is the editor, speaks
out in regard to the late troubles in Louis
lana as follows: S~NF ~
"This Grant parish affair has no political
significance, outside of Louisiana. 1t orig
mated in disreputable squabble for Office.
The negroes, who were lured by their
white leaders into taking up arms, commit
ted such crimes as. robbery, assaults and
threatening the lives of the whites, neiad-
ing attacks upon the women. When the
sheriff had collected his posse, he and they
retaliated in a savage and wanton manner.
The negroes toere the dggressorS. Soreiy
did they pay for their barbsrous treatment
of those who had nothing to do with the
Quarrel The atrocities on both sides were
great and inexcusable."
This view of the case is fully boone

A PHILADELPHIA paper suggests that
sour music composers take the matter
now in hand and give us national anthem
that shall be in all respects American" by
the 4th of July, 1876, when the Centenni-
Ell Celebration will be held. "lt is well
known" observes the paper, "thst our ma

america being no other than the British

Take Care of the Calves,

The Ohio Farmer gives the following
good advice: Much of the future
growth, and in fact much of the profits
Of the farmer arising from his stock,
depends upon the care which it re-
ceives during the first year. I do not
wish to be understood by this that if a
farmer takes good care of his stock the
first year, he can afterward let them
run chap hazard :" every good farmer
Will see that his stock at al times is
well cared for But the first year is
the foundation, it is the starting point
of their future growth. There are
many farmers who are in the habit OF
giving their calves nothing but whey
from the time they are about three
weeks old until they are weaned. They
are then left to run and pick their liy-
ing as best they may until winter, when
they are taken to the barn and put into
some little back howell, with nothing
but hay till spring, or, as I have often
seen, turned in to a stack. In either
case they are, when spring comes. so
stunted and poor that they make but
slow growth ever afterward. Conse-
quently, when selling time comes. the
farmer finds his stock far behind in
