GRANT PARISH NASSACRT-
It Is more and more evident after carefully
reading all accounts from Grant Par
ish, Louisiana, that the responsibility Of the
inhuman and Wholesale slaughter of colored
citizens rests alone with the Democratic fol-
lowers of the McEnery faction. Perhaps the

Fortunately there is no doubt ~ to the facts
concerning Grant Parish. The evidence
accunulates that the affair at Colfax vas q
brutal massacre of some one hundred ne
eroes for the crime of being black aid Re

point to any case where the negroes have
sought to establish and MAINTAIN political

any place where the negroes or the white ad-

The people will make no mistake in fixing
the responsibility for the disorder that reigns
in Louisiana. The McEnery faction, en-
coursged and sustained BY the Democratic
party, has appealed from the ballot to the
bullet. The American people know that
Gen. Grant has sought to do his whole duty

expect him 70 do this 70 the end. Order
must bsrestored in that distracted State: mur-

The above named gentleman arrived 10
onr town on Saturday night and i the guest
Of Major Oveston. Mr.. Hammond appear.
to be kind hearted, aiiable gentleman, of q
vide experience In missionary enterprises
and tells some intervening stories in relation
to the convefsion of oh-time sinners OF
both sexes. Mr.. H. shortly after leaving
the ean went to the Mormon President
residencs to interview him, having in his
POSSESSION Letters of introduction, bnt the
hour being rather late be did not Gee him.
The visit will doubtless be repeated to day.
We can assure the Reserend gentlemsn be
will find in Mr.. Young q man Who will i'm
pres him favorably, and probably unde-
ceive 10 much be may have previously heard
Of his character.
Mr.. Hammood is man full OF life, hustle
and energy. and Is in every way calculated
to sustain the reputation Ne have before re-
ceived concerning him. Although void of
all that goes to make mp "a vhited sepul-
chre, and poseasing nothing that approxi-
mates to whining, or can't, 20 peculiar to
some who lay claims to piety. We have not
the slightest doubt but that Mr.. Hammond
il an earnest and impressive advocate of re-
vivalism, in fact he appears to have much
OF that magnetic force in his nature which 90
strongly marks the characters of revival
''thunderefr." We should like to have the
pleasure Of listening to an address delivered
BY that gentleman. but be does not calculate
to remain in this city.
II We are correctly informed Mr.. Ham,
mond has the reputation of converting $780,
600 soula, some of whom were Of the worst
characters; for such labon there Is an ex-
tensive field right here in Salt Lake, and We
do think the gentlemen in question could not
do better than to pitch his tent for couple
Of weeks 1t least, and add new laurels to his
past victories over sin and sinners. Those
engaged in oar "regeneration" could not do
better than to secure Mr.. Hammond's rer-
vices; If they do not they viii commit a
crime against their cause BY neglecting to
avail Themselves Of the labos Of . man
whom Providence has thrown In their way
and Who shall ny that it il not for the ex.

The recen, reception OF President Grant
at ST. LOUIS serves to show the esteem in
which the President is held BY the sovereign
people. The citizens. without regard to
party, testif d their appreciation of the
man, and evinced their respect for the posi-
ton he occupies ia manner wholly fitting
and proper From ST. Louis the Presiden-
tial party will journey westward a. tar a. the
Rocky Mountains, and We hear il stated that
Idaho Springs, Colorado. will be one of the
tarrying places |, is Not improbable that
President Grant will pay Leavenworth =
visit on his return from Colorado early 10
May. He expects to he in New Haven,
Connecticut, in time TO attend there the
meeting Of the Army Of the Potomac,
which is appointed for the 14;h of May,
and meantime, on or about the 10Th Of May,
they expect him in Richmond, Virginia.
and in q day or two thereafter in Norfolk.
In fulfilling this programme he will have to
do considerable travelling within the next
three or four weeks.
The object o: the Presidents proposed
Southern visist is to acquaint himself with
the real condition Of affairs political and 90.
cial in the South. with a view. no doubt, of
recommending legislation best suited to the
permar n: interest and true restoration of
the Southern States.
After sll that has been said BY persons
and papers I'm friendly 10 the administra-
ton, President Grant has purued the even
tenor Of his way and evoked from many party
opponents genuine words Of approval. II
mistakes have been made, the mistakes were
on the side Of lsniency and mercy. While
We differ from the administration on the In
dian question, and would like to see the
policy of the government tempered with
more justice and Iess mercy, We cannot but
recall TIE language OF those Who oppo-ed his
reelection on the ground that one sccustom-
ed to the tyrannizing inclinstions of military
life, could not wholly re.pect the rights Of
civilisns. Now We md that those ~ho re-
sis:ed the election OF Gen. Grant, because
they 'eared frequent appeals to the military,
