Sometimes they will whisper, tits true,

About heaven, and when they shall go.

A WAR OF THE RACES.
Conflict Between Whites and
Negroes in Louisiana--One
Hundred Negroes Kill
ed and Many b9iagH
r Wounded. oi hs

New ORLEANS, April Is, '73.
The steamboat Southwestern which
arrived at about i 80 O'Clock this eve
ming, brings stirring and important
news from Grant parish. The whites
have retaken Colfax, and there is not a
negro to be found for miles around
From passengers on the Southwestern
we CLEAN the following: 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 men, who had
gathered from the surrounding parishes,
made an attack on the breastworks, and
a brisk fight was kept up until some
where near three o'clock. The breast
works were then stormed and captured,
the negroes taking refuge in the Court
House. The doors were barricaded. Af-
ter further fighting the negroes threw
out a flag of truce, and several detach-
ments of men advanced on 1t, when
they were fired on by the besieged par
ty, wounding several, one of whom was
Captain Hadnot, who was shot in the
bowels, and it is feared fatally wounded.
They retreated to the outside of the
breastworks, and as the only means OF
dislodging the negroes, the Court House
was set on fire and they were shot as
they came out from the burning build
ing. 1t is reported that between eighty
and one hundred negroes were killed,
and there were none to be found for
miles around.
The Captain of the Southwestern
makes the following statement: We
arrived at Colfax ON Sunday evening
about eight O'Clock, and found that the
white people, with the Sheriff, sup
pose, at their head, had captured the
town after having had a conflict with
the negroes. 1t was reported to me
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 did not learn, and
two very seriously wounded-Messrs.
HadnOt and Harris. Mr.. Hadnot was
shot through the bowels, and it is sup
posed that Inc is mortally wounded. We
brought Messrs. Harris and Hadnot
down from Colfax to Alexandra. Three
or four others, white men, were slight
ly wounded. About one hundred ne
groes escaped, but it was reported that
the whites were still pursuing them.
All of the rest escaped, especially the
white men, The negroes, abuscaded
themselves in the Court House, and the
whites, finding that there was no other
mode Of attack left them, set fire to the
building. The whites numbered in the
neighborhood of one hundred and fifty
men. The fight lasted from II A. NJ. un-
til nearly p. NJ. The whites are now
in possession of Colfax, and when left
last night everything was very quiet.

At an elegant dinner party given in
this city the "enfant terrible" Of the
family was permitted to occupy a seat
near one of the most distinguished
guests. This 'bete noir" is much Civ
en- to conundrums, which are not al
ways appropriate. Moreover, the young
man has sister who is shining belle
in society. Eliza is the name of the
young lady but the young scapgrace
will call her Lie. The company were
startled by the voice of the youngster
asking, "Why is fathe-like the devil ~
An awkward pause ensued. Then he
shouted out, "Because he is the father OF
Lie" Qies). That boy did not get his
desert, for he was sent to bed.-Wdsh-

"No," 1 answered quickly, "that

"No, wait one moment" She paused

TO make my (possible) readers un-
derstand the wisdom OF Miss Isabelle's
plan, must stop, though in a deucedly
tight place, to explain the plan of the
house which was built in the form of a
long square, with the passage running
the length of it in the upper and lower
stories. Georges room which we had
occupied, was a front end room facing
the northeast, and communicating di-
reetly with the lower part of the house
by flight of stairs which went down
into little entry that opened out OF
the front porch. i 1H, 7sasah
There were two doors in the room
one at the head Of stairs, the other OF
the opposite side, opening on the pas
sage. fr.
Through that door we passed, dowr
the passage, and across into back room
at the southwest end of the house
which Miss Isabelle occupied. Critica
as was the moment, I felt a hesitation
in invading the sanctity of that dove
nest in rawhide boots, and all the un
hallowed accoutrements of a man-at
arms. Miss Isabelle allowed me shor
space for scruples. Crossing the room
she softly Enclosed q window, and said

A State can no more impair an existing con-
tract by constitutional provision than by a
legislative act; both are within the prohibition
of the national Constitution.

tion. A State may change them, provided the
change involve no impairment Of substantial
right. - A..

eory last mentioned, they are to that extent ut.
terly void. They are, for all the purposes OF
the contract which they impair, as II they had

The constitu tional provision and statute here
in question ara clearly within that category
and are, therefore, void. s.ii~a 80. ;,
. The jurisdicsional prohibition which IT. they

SOUND IDEAS ON FARM1NG.-The following
views on farming were thrown out by Mr.
Greeley in his speech at Baltimore, and they
so entirely cover the ground of successful cul-
ture that we give them place for the benefit
of our readers: -,
/. That the area under cultivation should be
within the limits of the capital and labor en-
ployed; or, in other words, that on impover-
isbed soils no one should cultivate more land
than he can enrich with manure and fertilizers,
be it one acre or twenty.
2. That there should be law compelling
every man to prevent his stock from depreda-
ting on his neighbours fields.
8. That green soil is more economical than
loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage isessential to good farm
5. That the muck heap is the farmers bank,
and that everything should be added to it that
will enlarge it, and increase at the sane time
its fertilizing properties.
6. That no farmer should depend upon one
staple alone, but should seek to secure himself
against serious loss in bad seasons by diversity,
Of products.-Our Home Journal.

MORE CoRRJPTIoN.-Our country has been
subjected to still further shame and disgrace
by the corrupt conduct of some OF the commits
sioners appointed by General Grant to repre-
sent the United States at the Vienna Exposi..
tion. It appears that some of the men selected
TO represent Northern and Western States have
endeavored to make money out Of their posi-
ton, and have sold privileges accorded them
in their representative capacity to inventors of
machinery and exhibitors of patent articles.
This shameful :rafic having been brought to the
notice of the Austrian Government, our Minis
ter to Vienna mas been compelled to order an
investigation, but nothing which can now be
done will avera the odium which will attach to
the national name on account Of the disgrace
full transaction. The guilty commissioners,
however, have some little excuse for what they
have done. Taey know that such conduct was
common enough in this country, and neither
received condemnation nor caused astonish-
ment. They knew that the Administration
which gave them their appointment winked
every day at much larger and bolder frauds,
and that not even the highest official in the
land was entirely free from the taint of corrup-
ton. They orly made a mistake in supposing
that any respectable European Government
would tolerate a practice which is considered
innocent enough in their own country.-Au-
gusta Chronicle and Sentinel.
