HCOlfax Massacre.

Some fifteen or twenty white men,
in the parish OF Grant, have held a
meeting and published 4 statement
concerning their massacre in that par
ish, and addressed it to Gen. Grant,
Congress, and the American people.
For killing some two hundred negroes,
the following reasons are given by
these fifteen or twenty white men:
lst, in 1868, white man named
Calhoun, got a white man named
Phillips to play some rascality about
a boundary line in that parish, where
by the white man Calhoun was bene-
fitted. 2nd reason for numbering the
negroes: The creditors of the white
man Calhoun were unable to collect
one dollar from him. Bird reason for
numbering the negroes: In 1870 the
white man Calhoun had {; man APP
pointed Deputy I. $. Marshal to take
the census, who had been the leader
of Il band of Jayhawkers during the
war. This ex-Jayhawker got some
one else to do his work, and by some
hocus pocus counting, he returned
more white men in that parish than
colored, although it is known that
there are more colored than white
men in that parish. Some one dcs-
troyed these records. 4th reason for
killing the negroes: In 1870 white
man was appointed Supervisor OF
Registration, who-to use the exact
language-was the embodiment Of
rascality, and who used "deceptions@ =
with the white men until he registered
enough of them to defeat the Repub
licans, and then he added two hun
dred ficticious names and marked
them colored. (This was done in
1870, and these white citizens have
just found it out.) 9th reason for
killing the negroes: In 1872 the
Supervisor Of Registration was Il good
and impartial one, from the fact that
he was Il Liberal, and appointed ut
the instance Of the Liberals of Grant
parish. The statement goes on to
show why this was done, as follows:
That was done because the leading
white men knew there vas Il white
majority in the parish. Boys attend
ing the colored public schools, how
ever, were permitted to register, and
many men living in Rapides parish
voted on registration certificates Oh
tanned in 1870 from Smedley.
If this be true, we charge this
Supervisor Of having permitted those
to register and vote who had no right
to do so.
Here are FIVE reasons given by the
white citizens Of Grant parish why
they murdered the few hundred
negroes. Not once have they said
anything about their depredatlons,
for instance the numbering of Delos
w. White, the burning OF Judge
Phillips house, and so on. Well, we
rest under such statements going be-
fore Gen. Grant, Congress. and the
American people, and let them judge
whether the reasons set forth by these
men are sufficient to cause the mur-
der Of 50 many colored men.-Boton
