An InvaIaabls BOOK.

One of the best arranged, most
beautifully illustrated, and altogeth-
er one of the handsomest, most or
namental-as it stands world-con-
fessed, the best book ever printed
is the illustrated Universal Poly
giot Family Bible, got up with ev-
cry aid, accessory and accompani-
ment to make it desirable to all who
either want 1T for use-and who
does MOTOR for ornament, and to
which the Agent, Mr.. d. G.. Stokey
is now soliciting the attention of
our citizens. We can, from a care
full examination of the style in which
it is gotten up, and the general con-
tents,-which embraces, besides the
regular st. James version of the
Holy scriptures, also a concordance,
glossary, an extensive Bible dlction-
airy of all proper names and places,
but the correct pronunciation of all
such, together with Family Record
and Photograph Album, besides
an illuminated marriage certificate.
1t is a magnificent work, and every
man, and every woman who is at
the head of a family, should have a
copy of 1t. lie has it In various
styles Of binding, and at different
prices. Mr.. Stokey will continue
for some time yet, to call upon cur
citizens in this interest, and we
shall be surprised if he does not
take a large additional number of
names in our city. The work has
only to be seen to be admired, and
subscribed for.

just at this time, when the indig-
nation over the salary steal is be-
coming exceedingly warm, the fol-
lowing extract from Gen. Hawley's
speech in the Senate, Feb. p, when
the matter was under consideration,
is peculiarly interesting:
"One party already has its grave
dug, and the other wants to be side
by side with it. Back of these two
political parties are the American
people, who will have something
still further to say about the ques-
ton. care so little about parties
and elections that, if this is to be
the style of legislation, am willing
to assist at the digging and funeral,
and don't care what party comes
after it. We can't have anything
worse, in my opinion, than the par
ty which begins, six months after
the most ardent professions of econ
omy, to raise our own salaries, SO
that we may put in our pockets So.

The war OF Races.

Things have been drifting from
bad to worse in portions of Louisi-
ana for sometime past, and last week
things came to point where for
bearance ceased to be q virtue, at
Colfax, in Grant Parish. On Sun
day last about four hundred negroes
occupied the Courthouse, which was
defended by breast works three or
four feet high, and the doors effect
ually barricaded. They were thor
oughly armed, and were intent on
mischief. On Sunday about one
hundred and fifty white men came
together to consult what was best
to be done under the circumstances,
when a brisk fight ensued, which
was kept up until 3 O'Clock, when
the breast works were stormed by
the whites, when the negroes hoist
ed a flag of truce; but when addl-
tional white soldiers approached,
they were fired upon by the negroes
still barricaded in the Courthouse.
The whites then retired outside the
breastworks for consultation, and
finally decided that the only, or the
easiest mode to dislodge the negroes
was to set fire to the Courthouse,
which was done, and the negroes to
the number of so or 100 were shot as
they emerged from the burning
building. One white man reported
killed and three or four dangerous
Iy wounded. 1t is said that not a
negro was visible Sunday night, for
miles around Colfax. Is that to be
the end?
There has also been a row, rum
pus or a rioting between the whites
and blacks at Knightsville, Indiana.
1t originated in a strike at the coal
mines, between the whites and a
late recruit of blacks from Virginia.
Great trouble was apprehended, but
Gov. Hendricks had been called upon
for troops to put down the row, and
there is hope that no further diff
Guilty wiz be experienced.
