the fever was abating, probably for

Mr.. Cnnniushnm and the Capital

Mr.. Cunningham and the CaplIaI'
We arc not by any means OF the same
opinion that the Wheeling lNTELLIGEN-
GER is, in regard to the removal OF the
Capital from this place, 1t charges us
failure all upon Mr. Cunningham, Inc
Senator IRON Brooke county. We know
that this charge is untrue. MIR. Gun,
nlngham's vote would not have ordered
the previous question, as the lNTELLIGEN
GER stated Mr. Cunningham is one OF
the few high-mindGd, honorable mem
bers of the present Legislature. He was
in favor of Il removal Of the Capital, but
did no, let it it make u fool OF him as
some others did. Mr.. q. is certainly
clear OF the charges the lNTELLIoENcER
made against him in this PARTICULAR
Charleston journal.
The charges against Mr.. CUNNINGHAM
were not ours. We distinctly stated that
they were made in letter written by a
well informed gentleman at Charleston,
1t was stated in Charleston letter TO the
Registr that when Mr.. CUNNINGHAM an
nounCcd his opposition to ordering the
previous question on the Capital bill,
three other gentlemen who were in favor
OF removal declined to vote. Their votes
and his in favor Of the motion would have
made tic, md the motion would still
have lailed. So it appears to be true that
Mr.. CUNNINGHAM's vote could not have
forced the desired vote on the bill. at
the same time, MS protested friend OF re-
moval, he is CCnsurable for opposing the
programme marked out by its friends
Just as much rs il his corporation would
have made it successful. 1t is also to be
remarked that il the friends OF the bill
had not votes enough, with Mr.. Gun
NINGuAM's, to order the previous question,
they did not have enough to carry tho bill
if it had been put to vote. This does not
in any degree excuse Mr.. CUNNINGHAM
rs a Senator for this district, whose people
almost unanimously desired the removal.

THE LOUISIANA CONFLICT.
Tie origin and Early Circumstances
of The Grant Parish Fight.

of the Grant Parish right.
New ORLEANS, April 1G-Tho recent
prevalence OF civil disorder in the Parish
OF Grant, growing out Of political differ
enCes between tho whites and blacks, has
at last come to APPOINT From the symp.
toms, serious trouble was expected, and
on Sunday last the whites made an at.
tack on the blacks, who were Cn!renChed
at ChOnou Plantation, in ColfaX, where.
upon there ensued q desperate battle,
which continued for about twOohours, re.
sulting in the defeat OF the blacks, Of
whom, it is said, sixty were killed and
wounded, while the whites suffered the
loss OF but one killed and two wounded.
Mr. r. G. Hill, OF Marshall, Texas, who
reached town yesterday on the steamer
Southwestern, from. the Red River COun.
try, states that the trouble in Grant Par
ish came to q bloody termination on Sun.
day last. On Sunday night the boat
landed at a wOod.pile near COlIax, Grant
Parish, and was there requested by an
excited Colorcd man, who was armed, to
stop ut COliaX and take some wounded
white mel to Alexandria, situated some
twenty-five miles further down the river.
On arriving at COliax VIC found about
one hundred armed men on the bank.
The passengers OF the steamer went
ashore here, as they were told they could
view battle field with ahundrCd dead
bodies on It. On reaching the scene Of
the fight, by the dim light OF lanterns,
could be seen great many bodies OF col
Orcd men riddled with bullets,
Mr.. Hill speaks Of one man who had
been in the burning Court House, and us
he ran out, his clothing in flames, he was
shot dead. The bodies were scattered
over the fields and in other places. MIR.
Hill counted about eighteen bodies, and
was told that they were about Oue.lourth
the number OF killed. that they were scat.
tered all over the adjacent fields and in
and around the Court House. Some hor.
rible instances are related OF the sCcncs
around the landing The party who left
the boat TO examine the place witnessed
several brutal affairs. Approaching the
body OF a black whose clothes were very
nearly burned from his person, one Of the
marty remarked that he was alive. In
stantly one OF the guides drew u revolver.
and saying, II will finish the black dog"
was about 10 shoot, when, upon being re.
monstrated with, he put his pistol away.
The man was found 10 be dead. The
party afterwards came on n negro Of her
culean size. He was resting or his ell
bows, aud, 10 all appearances, alive.
A man carrying siX.shooter gave him
a fierce kick, and STOPPING to look At the
body, exclaimed, "Oh, he is dead as IN
eel" The man had died in the position
in which he was found When the party
returned TO the boat the crew were carry
inc on board two wounded white men, a
III. HidnoclE. and another.
In stone house near the landing were
huddled together about thirty negro pris-
oners.
Mr.. Hadnock was landed at Alexan-
dria on Monday morning. It seems the
trouble has been brewing in Grant Parish

a. ,hs mas, two weeks. For the past
three or iour DAYS the blacks became too
nnmarous for the whites, and the latter
we've 'cr compelled TO seek refuge in the sur
roTnding country. Meanwhile, It Is sta
tcJ the blacks plundered the town, throw
inr up crude Qualifications, and Boosting
that they would drive every white man
from the parish.
The whites, after being driven from the
town, II seems, had not been idle, and had
reinforced from the adjoining parishes.
On Sunday morning, led by the Sheriff Of
Grant Parish, they advanced in body
towards Coliax, On arriving at ColIax Il
flag Of truce was sent to the blacks, ask
ing them to surrender, but, at the same
time, If they meant TO fight, TO take care
Of themselves, their women, and children.
The negroes refused to come 10 terms,
ThereupOn the whites charged the breast
works, the negroes retreatiDg and taking
refuge In the Court House, from
which they kept up an incessaut
fire for some time. Finally q friendly
negro was brlbed to fire the Court House,
which was, successfully done. After
VhlnIy attempting 10 eAlnBulsu tue
flames the blacks Displayed q white flag,
in token Of surrendet. Two white men,
Mr.. Hadnock and an unknown man, inn
mediately advanced, and, on reaching the
door Of the Court House, were shot down.
The negroes rushed out in body, and
the whites, who were now terribly in
furiated, fred into the mass as they came
out, and following up, killed them
wherever they could find them, but finally
the Sheriff got the men under control and
order was restored. The people Of the
country had become 80 excited by the
events oil the day, that nothing accurate
could be gathered from them regarding
the number killed and wounded. The
negroes had improvised several rude
cannon from old cast iron pumps. These
were loaded 10 the muZzle with slugs Of
their own make. The negroes, tits stated,
were instigated by q white man named
Calhoun, and negro named Ward. Both
Of these men escaped from the vicinity be.

The Appointing Power Claimed by
Gov. Jacob.


From tho KAnAwhA Chronicle)
Again, we hive to contradict the silly
assertion that Gov. Jacob has claimed that
he has the right under the Constitution TO
appoint ten Thousand, or more, or oil the
officers OF every grade, county, town and
city. The Border WatchmGD, published in
Monroe county, is a neat little paper, fill
cd with excellent selections for family
reading, showing good taste on the part
OF the editor. But his political bias in
duced him to print this:
"OUR ELRcTIoN.-It is not very graft.
lying to know that the election through
which our village has Just passed was al.
together unCalled for. According TO our
Governors construction he has the power
to appoint all municipal officers Of every
incorporated town within the limits Of the
State.h
Section 8 Of Art. Z of the Constitution
says:
"Thc Governor shall nominate, and by
and with the advice and consent OF the
Senate IA majority of all the Senators
elected C0ncurring by yeas and by nays
appoint all officers whose offices are es-
tabliShed by the Constitution, or shall be
created by law and wose appointment or
election is not OtterTciSe prOVided for"
ARTICLE s, Establishes" the circuit
court judges, clerks, all county officers.
The election OF school commissioners,
trustees and county superintendent, Is
provided for by law; the road surveyors,
overseers Of the poor, constables and JUS
tees are elected by the people as "provid.
ed by law" all municipal officers are
provided for by law"
Gov Jacob never wrote word and no
man can truthIully say he ever heard the
Governor utter sentence that could pos.
Sibly DO construed into a claim that he
had any right to appoint any OF these Of
ticers, or any officers whose election or
appointment is otherwise provided for.

SOMETHING over a year ago young
man, short distance below Wheeling
was arrested for horse stealing and {
girl, named Sarah G.. Winemiller, who
was deeply attached to him, wanted
TO share his jail life. This being refus.
ed, and she being almost crszed with
fear that he would be sent to the pen
itentiary, determined to go with him.
So she set FIRE to q school house. that
was also used as a place of worship.
For this arson she was arrested, con-
victed and sentenced to two years
imprisonment in the penitentiary.-
When Sarah's young mans trial come
on, the charge preferred against him
fell to the ground. There was moth
ing in it; so Sarah went to the peni-
tentiary alone, ''all for love" On the
22d of November, Governor Jacob
signed her pardon, and she was soon
set free to go and find her lover, for
whom she had suffered 80 much
Here's a chance tor q romance writer
to immortalize himself by showing, as

never did run smooth" Sarah il only
