The War Of Races and Who Made 1t.
The New York Herald is not at all meely
mouthad about fixing the responsibility: 18th
war of factions under which, for six months
Louisiana has been suffering all the perils,
not all the evils, of anarchy, has at last take
that most dangerous shape to the blacks Of
war of races. The bloody affair at the it'll
hamlet of Colfaz, in the parish of Grant, nea
Alexandra, on the Red River, from the detail
of which We published yesterday, was clearly
conflict, not bstween the Kellogg faction an
the Warmoth faction, but between the white
and blacks--a conflict of the two races, all 9th
er lines of distinction being merged in the di'
tinction of color. The quarrel grew out of til
political complications of the State, but in tn
bloody affair at Colfax it vas, by the stupidit
of the negroes, reduced TO a question Of loci
ascendsncy of the whites or the blacks.
The Herald then recites the deplorab
events in Grant parish, and says: ''Now th
question arises, where lies the responsibility fc
this bloody add disgraceful affair? The respor
sibility attaches first to the national admins
tration; next it falls upon Congress, and mex
upon Governor Kellogg. The mistaken polio
Of General Grant in behalf of Louisiana ha
been produotive only Of mischief, confusio
and disorder.
