S"Eress OF GRANT Parish.


Nrw ORLrANs, April THE ru-
mors OF disturbance in Grant par
ish, which for several days have pre-
vailed, we're yesterday confirmed BY sew
eral passengers who reached here on the
Marie Lsuise. On Wednesday last a
crowd Of negroes, armed with double
barreled shot-guns aud headed by acol-
ored man named Ward, entered the
town Of Colfax, took possession Of the
courthouse, and ousting the parish oili-
GERS, assumed their functions. On FRI
day, when the Marie Louise left the vi
cinity, report was current that the
white people had been driven from the
parish in large numbers, aud that body
of planters and others had left Alexan-
dria to reiake the town. Ii appears that
after the election two sets Of officers
were appointed, one by Pinchback and
the other by the McEnery government
The parish is conceded to be white, but
no returns of the election were forwarded
to either board. These appointments led
to n disagreement, and few days ago
two delegations, headed by Mr.. Rutland
on the fusion side and Mr.. Ward
on the other, visited Governor Kel-
logg. High words ensued between the
contestants, Rutland saying that they
had the Offices and we're determined to
keep them, ana Ward rejoining in effect
that there would be no trouble about the
colored men seating themselves when
once they made up their minds. Both
left for home, and as before stated, Ward
opened the ball on Wednesday, after
having secured possession of Rutland's
house, which was attacked, sacked, and
himself aud his family driven from the
parish This is the only act Of violence
reported. The passengers by the Marie
Louise say that up to the time of their
departure no bloodShed had heen
committed. The fact that there are
fully as many white men in the
parish as colored would in a measure
iisprove the report that the former had
been driven away; but il the party from
reached there a conflict is
not improbable. Ward is described as
A negro Of most insolent manner, and if
reports be. true, has been the ringleader
IN several disturbances. So remote is
he parish from any of the sources of
that it is impossible either
10 receive early intelligence or to take
steps to prevent conflict A violation
Of law so open will, however, subject the
leaders to severe penalties, and steps
will at once be taken for their arrest ard
conviction.

A singular discovery, says the London
Globe. has been made at the old Con
eiergerie. IN Paris. Atihe Court Of Cas-.
sation, FIRE had destroyed two out Of the
ghree towers, and few days since the
workmen engaged in repairing that
named after St. Louis came suddenly
upon a mysteriously deep well. This
WAS eoutrived cariOusly in the wall
facing the quay, and proved to be moth
ing less than the fatal dungeon Of the
old palace Of st. Louis. Yet none of
the historians Of the Conciergerie men
ton it, and chance and mischanee only
have nov made it known. An opening
Of two square yards in enc Of the turrets
reveals horrid tunnel reaching to the
level OF the Seine. There it forms a
gallery sloping downward to the bed Of
the river The attempt to penetrate into
this fearful dungeon was fruitless as the
interior is lined with sharp iron spears
and points, which cross each other in
every direction. When this Tower OF
st. Louis was used occasionally as the
dwelling Of the Kings Of France, captives
of note were confined in its underground
prisons; and when the powers that were
became anxious to get rid of any one Of
them, they led him through passage
formed in the interior OF ths wall toward
this newly discovered dungeon. A secret
deor was opened, and he was precipi-
tated into tbey9Wning chasm, and there,
tranfxed by spikes, ke persisted in slow
torture. OF course ii NAV he easily
imagined that it was only portions Of
skeletons that ever reached the bed of
thb Seine.
