Tue Grant Parish Case being WORK.
80 mp for Political el1-ct.
The Administration was quite conf.
dent yesterday that there was no pre-
text on which IN could interfere in the
m after OF the recent serious disturban-
cea 10 Grant Parish, louisiana. Since
the reception however, to-day Of the
partisan dispatches from there, given
herewith, It has strained every nerve to
interfere. The District Attorney Tor the
United States at New Orleans has been
directed 60 investigate the entire affair
at Coliax, and if any United States
laws have have been violated
to have Immediately arrested all
tine guilty parties, and to spare neither
pains nor expense to that end. He is
informed that all of the Federal troops
in Louisiana under the command OF
General Emory. are at the disposal Of
United States Marshal Packard to en-
force the process OF any court, and Gen.
eral Emory has 10 turn been directed

That the white citizens OF Grant
Parish will be arrested under
some cause of the Civil Rights law or
Euforcemer act need now hardly re-
main mater OF doubt. II It is fou od that
they cannot be held by anyextraordinary
stretch OF power under those laws they
will be turned over to the Kellogeite
courts. The Federal Government,
however, will have served the purpose
OF a police instrument 10 the use OF lts
bsyonets in making arrests, and indeed
rhi, ia about all the officials here really
hope 10 accomplish, Notwithstanding
their assumption tnat the Federal stat
utes have been violated. According to
all unofficial accounts here the riot al
Colsx was not q political contest, az
the whites OF both parties united
ag.inst the negroes when the latter
decorated the graves OF innocent
whites and seized the Court House as
fortress to defend themselves from ar
rest and punishment. The dispatches
O, D,strict-Auorney Beckwith and
Marshal Packard show uumistaksbly
a purpose to turn the whole matter
into a partisan chspuel to secure tur7
ther Federal support Of the bogus kel-
logg Government.
