THE SETTLERS WARNED.
A courier was expected at Yreka at
o'clock this p N. with Government
and press dispatches There was in
tense excitement in the settlements Of
the lava beds and Tule lake country.
Messengers have been sent in every
direction to warn the settlers.
A courier arrived at Yreka at 8. p.
NJ, but brought only Government let
tiers.
The whole country is alarmed, and
couriers refuse to come out OF go in,
fearing the Modocs and the fate of
Hoyey at their hands. News is an1-
iously looked for.
General sciofeld is sending forward
reinforcements with all possible des-
patch.
LAVA BEDS, April 19.-The Indians
have only the scalp of the boy Hovey
killed this morning. From the officers
who came in with the calvary we learn
that the enemy have been driven from
the stronghold, and that the Lava Bed
is ours.
The Modocs are now guerillas.
During the afternoon we could see
smoke from south Of the Lava Bed,
indie ating plainly that the Modocs were
travelling toward Wilson Spring on
the Emigrant road, or for the country
between Clear and Goose Lakes. The
calvary will start for the country east
Of the Old Emigrant road from Orogan
sometime this evening.

TIE Atlantic Decision Of the coSrt Of In
curry.
HALIFAX, April l8.-The commits
sioner convened The Court of inquiry,
into the loss of the Atlantic, this after
noon, and rendered his decision.
The course of Captain Williams in
bearing up for Halifax is commended
as prudent. The ship had not sufi-
cient coal on boad at the time of sail
ing for ship Of her class. The coal
was Of an inferior quality. of which he
consumed seventy tons per day, thus
giving her less than thirteen day 4 sup
ply when leaving port Had all the
circumstances Of the passage been fay
orable, this quantity Of coal undoubted-
" would have carried the ship and
passengers safely to New York; but a
passage across the Atlantic in winter
without more or less unfayoraJle wea-
thar is an exception, and not the rule.
Favorable weather during the whole
western passage in the month Of March
could not reasonably be expected, and
contingencies OF low rate Of speed,
resulting from head winds and foul
weather, ought to have been provided
for. Assuming the position OF the YES
sci as stated by Captain Williams to
have been correct, the course steered
should have carried her well to east
ward Of Sambro had there been no cur
rent.
The officer left in charge did not
obsy the order given by Captain Will
Jams to awake him at o'clock, for he
slept until wakened by the shock Of the
ship striking the shore, from twelve to
seventeen minutes after three.
The conduct of Captain Williams
and the officers sitter the ship struck
was all that could be demanded of men
in their trying situation. -
The management of the ship is con-
demned from the time Of changing her
course at P. NJ on Monday until
the time she became wrecked. Whe-
Their or not sufficient allowance was
made by Captain Williams for the cur
rents in the course he steered, does not
seem to be question Of vital impor-
lance, for it is very probable that some
error as to the speed of the ship, sad
lack Of vigilance on the part ofthe off
GERS who were on duty, which is too
spparent, and the total neglect to eb-
tain soundings or use the most ordin-
airy precaution that ought to be used
in approaching coast, would have run
her ashore had she been ON the course
thst Captain Williams supposed her to
be.

LOUISIANA Who is to blame9--In
another column we publish an account
of the sanguinasy conflict between the
negroes and whites in Grant parish
Louisiana. It is evident the conduct
of the whites will be grossly exaggerat-
ed by the radical press in order to pave
the way for their vindictive punishment
by the Government. Who is to. blame
dor the troubles in Louisiana? We
answer they are the fruits Of political
misrule and Radical aggression-con
slant and unwarranted interference oil
the administration to build up mon
grel party of carpst-baggefs and ne
groes.
The trouble seen1s to have. been brew
ing ever since last November. On the
day of election, Grant parish, according
to the returns made by the election
officers, voted for KELLOGG 404, Nc
Emery 513; and, as declared by the
LYNcu-DuMELL board. KELLOGG no,
McENERY 1865. The candidates for re
representatives. in the Legislature were
\ WIN. WARD (KELLoGG) and JAS.
HApNor (McENERf). The Lynch
board, having no official returns before
them, made up canvass for every
parish in the State, declaring the vote
thereof for all officers from President
down to constable. With respect to
Grant parish, by some accident, they
omitted to make any canvass for parish
officers, and made no declaration show
ing who had been elected. That parish,
there ore had no local officers elected by
the KELLOGG side. To supply the de
ticiency, KELLOGG appointed their
officers, who failed to qualify, Then
KELLOGG appointed those who had been
declared elected by the McENzRI re.
turns. In the meantime, WARD and
HADNoT had each bean declared elected
to the Legislatures at New Orleans
WARD returned hastily to Colfax, took
possessions of the court house, and de
clared his purpose to exclude the
newly appointed officers. The negro
population turned out en- anosse to sus
tain WARD. ~
They congregated in mobs, broke
open store houses, stole goods and
ordered the citizens to leave the town
within ten minutes under penalty Of
death They killed cattle and hogs OF
white people for miles around. They
boarded a steamer aud robbed her of
bacon and -four In the excitement,
every body, white and black, armed
himself, violent speeches were made,
and, finally WARD garrisoned the court
house. From that time the county was
in the hands of rival mobs, who very
soon came into collision.
Had congress listened to the strong
appeal of the committee appointed to
investigate the McESERY and KELLOGG
muddle, to interpose and order a new
election this unfortunate affair would
not have happened

THE Modocs have not been subjuga
ted. After several days hard fighting
in which number of soldiers were
killed and wounded the Modocs made
their escape from the lava beds. The
great danger is that their partial sue
cess may induce other tribes to unite
with them, the result Of which, we fear,
would be the loss of many lives and the
determination of number of the In
dian tribes. The only resource left to
the government is an aggressive cam
paign, cost what it may

Heavy Calender for January.

The real business of the new year begins in this
Court as in all the other Courts, to-day. There
Is plenty of business on hand TO keep judges, law
yers AID clients busy Tor some time. Litigation,
in TACT, is on the increase, instead of diminishing
new and prolific, as well as costly, branch Of liti-
CATION has been introduced through the -upsettng
OF the Old "Ring" regime and prosecution OF Its
leaders. There seems some prospect OF the great
maguate Of the Ring, William NJ Tweed, being
brought to trial; but for the rest the chances at
present seem to be dubious they having betaken
themselves hey Ond the reach OF the law to more
hospitable chimes. lively branch Of litigation is
form Of mandamus, against the Comptroller
to enforce settlement vi claims upon the city
and county eXchequer. However, these and the
"klng" suits are profitable to the ''relorm"
lawyers, who manage to pocket enormous lees.
One thing should be, and doubtless Is, greatly con-
solatOry to the public, and that Is the supreme
Court bench has undergone q healthfu purifying
process that Is likely to be attended with the best
results. The judges now occupying the bench are
all sans reprOche and there is likelihood of JUS
ticc being administered fully and impartially.
The General Term commences Its session to-
day, with Judges Ingraham, Brady and Davis
ON tile bench. They have large calen.

important cases. Judge Barrett WIN preside ut

BUSINESS IN THE COURTS.

On Saturday Captain E. $. Goodwin, Chief Of the
Police OF the Erie Railroad, was brought before
Commissioner Shields charged with piracy, which
is an offence punishable BY death under ting
federal law. II appears that the Captain seized
the steamboat Hugh Bolton at the foot OF Twenty
third street and took her over to Hoboken. 1t is
claimed that the boat Is the property Of the Erie
Railroad Company, having been transferred to them
by the New York ana Boston Express Company,
and that the last transfer Of the vessel at the Gus
tom House stands In the name Of the Erie Com
pany. But, Oh the other hand, counter claim Is
set up by person named Smith, OF Baltimore, to
ownership OF the Hugh Bolton, and 1t is alleged,
therefore, that the act Of Captain Goodwin in re-
moving the Bolton was of a pratical nature. BY
consent OF the District Attorney the Captain was
discharged on his own recognizances until to-day
In the case OF Louis L. Goeld, second mate OF the
American ship Black Hawk, who is charged before
