BISHOP QUINTARD.

Charles T. Quintard, Episcopal bishop Of
Tennessee, is q rare man. He is apart from
the common herd of humanity, and his type
is not met with often in the daily hapnts Of
life, as we will set forth. In an age ofsneer.
ing in6delity, replete with all the cynicism
of modern matsrialism, he laid aside the com.
Portable revenues of an honored and lucra-
tive profession to shoulder the cross. To
many men this may not be heroism, but to a
calm and philsophic thinker, who knows the
workings of the human problem aroun dhim
it is heroism of the highest type. We say
it with shame for our race that it has be-
come the fashion of small intellects to cast
doubt and ridicule upon the sacred mystic
ries of the gospel. 1t is in their atrophied
brains all indication of an investigating skep-
tical and learned apprehension. The modern
crusader has to encounter all this in his
fight for the cross, and although he does not
have to face the viliant and fiery Saracen,
and is not burned at the stake, yet his task
is hard one, and his foes are thousand to
one There is one consolation, however, he
should carry like jar of precious oil wher-
ever his destiny may be cast, and that is he
is the genuine benefactor Of his race, the
conservator of order and society and the
foundation stone of order and government.
Charles T. Quintard never hesitated, but fol-
lowed the footsteps of Him who on the
distant hills Of Judea opened the gates of
mercy for mankind. He never stopped to
reason about the matter of dollars and cents.
We doubt very much if he knows or cares
for their proper or commercial value. His
work was cut out by. the Master, and he
goes forth almost literally with scrip and
sandal, aud with-a cheerful, hopeful counte-
nance, and does it bravoly. Is not such q
man, in this sneering age, a hero? But this
is not all. What southern soldier, who
bears with his breast the heart of a man,
that does not look upon this good msn with
love and veneration? On many bloody
field ofstrife he has knelt beside the dying
patriot and pointed the way 10 the pearly
gates of bliss, and his prayers have risen up
in the smoke of battle and have been uttered
amid the awful thunder of artillery. and
the rattle of muskstry, and the groans Of
the wounded, like white winged messeu-
ger from an unhappy earth to heaven. He
has whispered words Of hope and comfort in
the ears Of men dying for their country
He has heard the last uttered human wish
mauy brave soul, and he has been faith.
fnl to all taoir sacred requests. He stood
upon the field of battle the representive Of
no earthly power, but of a power which the
armaments of embattled nations are but as
toys and playthings Of an hour. He did his
duty we'll and nobly in those psrilous and
trying times, and he has not faltered in its
unerring line. He still bears the the cross
of the Master with meek and christian
grace that shines out in world much
troubled by spiritualism, infdelity, material
ism, and coarse and vulgar sin, like
raiment of light.

From the New Orleans Picayune. ]

From the New Orleans Plcayune
The exaggerated kilograms and reports
sent from this city to the northern and west
ern papers detailing their string of unexam-
pied horrors of the recent fight at Colfax,
arc not taken altogether without few grains
of salt by the press mentioned, and few In,
deed believe the reports sent by the Radical
politicians of this State. The Cincinnati
Commercial of the 22d inst, in an article
under the caption of "The Louisiana Trou-
bles." says the account given of this affair
by this United States Attorney Beckwith,
in dispatch to Attorney-General Williams,
and the special report made to the New fork
Times upon the strength Of the statement OF
Deputy-Marshal DeKlyne, who visited the
scene the day after the conflict, are presu-
mably exaggerated The partisan feeling
of the marshal is but lily concealed. Th
writer goes on to say: "The Louisanians
are vera restive under an administration
fastened upon them with Federal bayonets-
an administration conlcsscdly put in power
without a single official proof of its legal
right to exist, and against the protests of
the most prominent citizens )" and it adds
that Ward, encouraged by the Federal ex-
ample of ousting Fusion officers, was emu
lous of the example set in New Orleans, so
concluded to repeat it on smaller scale in
Grant Parish.
GOV. KELLOGG AND HIS GUNBoAT.
From the New York Herald
Is not Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana,
stretching his authority little in getting
up an amateur navy, with belligerent inten-
tions ON his own account? 1t has, we be-
lieve, been generally supposed that Congress
had sole power in such cases, and the Presl-
dent was commander-in- chief Of the army
and navy of the United States, with secre'
tary of the navy-who, fortunately, at this
jucture, happens to be rare old salt-as a
cabinet adviser. But perhaps Kellogg has
usurped the title of "lord high admiral y
like his other arrogant assumptions in Lou
sana, and it was necessary for him to have
navy in order to complete his sway as high
cockalorun in general ofthc pelican State
souJriguet that should at once be dropped
by the people, for Louisiana has ceased to

TREASON IN LOUISIANA.
From the New York Tribune.
Governor Kellogg is Of course not to be
blamed for doing his best to sustain the au
thority with which the President has invest
ed him. So long as he pretends to be The
Governor of Louisiana, it is his duty to usC
whatever means are at his command for sup
pressing violence and preventing repcti
tion of such horrible scenes as were recently
witnessed in Grant parish. The fotill'
which he has organized ito run up the riv

pear from the telegraphic reports, of steam

of cavalry, is a necessary equipment Of th'

we'll Also to offer liberal reward for the
conviction of the Colfax assassins. Those
who condemn most severely the measures by
which he intruded himself into Office will
most cordially approve his vigorous prosecu-
tion of the authors of this terrible massacre.
But Kcllogg's attempt to throw the odium
of the Colfax affair upon Mr.. McEnery Is
the trick of demagogue. In his letter to
the Encouragement of the State he assumes
that the riot in New Orleans on the 9th Of
March and the slaughter on the banks Of
Red river on Easter Sunday were connected
incidents of an armed conspiracy by McEn-
cry and his supporters to overthrow the 60
vernment; and he directs prosecution to be
instituted against McEnery for treason, or
''levying war against the commonwealth" !"
Anywhere but in Louisiana threat Of this
kind would be ridiculous; but Mr.. Kellogg
has already done such extraordinary and
uncxampled wrongs through his courts
that we cannot pronounce any perversion OF
Justice too gross o-be possible in those tri-
bunals The behavior of Gov McEnery,
under the usurpation which deprives him Of
his Office, has commanded general sympathy
throughout the country. He has lost no
proper occasion of asserting his rights, in a
peaceqble way, but he has always urged his
followers to- refrain from violence; and al
though the origin of the riot on the 9th OF
March is not known, we may say that it was
so indirectly at variance with McEnery's
policy that the probability of his connection
with it is extremely remote. AS for the
Grant massacre, there is probably no man,
north or south, who imagines that McEenery
had anything to do with it. Mr.. Kellogg
himself does not believe his own accusations.
He speaks of it as ''the result" as McEnery's
"treas5pable acts against the State govern
ment." We know on the contrary that it
was the result Of Kellogg's own usurpations,
the direct fruit of that antipathy OF race
which he has done more to foster than any
other man in the Sonth. He has taught
the blacks that with law or without it, with
votes or without them, it is their privilege
to rule the conquered and humiliated State.
He has taught the whites that for them the
ballot box.is no protection, and the courts are
closed By an act Of pure despotism he has
set up an ignorant minority in power, intru.
Ged them into all the Offices, given them full
liberty to tax and to steal; and the educated
majority he has kept down with the bayonet.
A bitter antagonism between the two classes
whom he has thus arrayed in hostility was
the inevitable consequence. The spirit of
disorder is evidently spreading throughout
the State, and we have not yet seen the full
measure of the wicked work which Kellogg
-and77sftse R.AsidaA. have accomplished be-
tweed them.

KELLoGG'S vERACITY.

On the list OF April helloSg telegrapneu
to the attorney general Of the United States,
at Washington, as follows:
The statement that issued commissions
to fusion officers in Grant parish, or any other,
than those just commissioned is untrue.
A long list of appointments to offices, more
than column long, and apparently covering
many offices in the different parishes, appear
ed in Kellogg's organ, the New Orleans
Republican, March 27th with the following
heading:
APPOINTMENTS BY THE GOVERNOR.
Since the adjournment of the Legislature
the following appointments have been made
by Governor Kellogg:
GRANT PARIsH.-C. C. Nash, sheriff; R.
b. Walker, clerk; F. G. Lcyssard, recorder;
Henry Deshazier, coroner; Thomas johnson,
John O. Odum, B. +. Bryan, Matthew NJ
gent, ST., A. V. Ragan, police jurors; B. G.
Mckinney, John Ferry, B. Bryan, j. H.
Lincicum, Charles Nugent, H. Y. Waddill,
A. V. Ragan, justices of the peace; Griffin
White, James Yaron, j. w. Moffatt, John
Nugent, Matthew Nugent, jr., a. n. o.
Quinn, Frank Sharp, constables; l.. L. Troy,
tax-collector.
Tt appears that he had issued commissions
to other persons, who having not complied
with the law, by accepting or acting on them,
failed to fill these Offices. To supply the
vacancy in these Offices, and others in the
State he made the appointments contained
in the list, and the appointments were
promulgated in his official organ. We do
not know, that NASH the sheriff appointed
for Grant parish, ever sought or asked Kel.
logg for commission He probably deemed
the official annunciation of his appointment,
with no other authority to invalidate it, suf-
fcient to authorize his assumption of office.
He accordingly, with the other appointees OF
the governor, entered upon the duties OF
the Offices to which they were appointed
If any one questioned the validity of kel-
loec's appointment, whose duty was it to
arrest T and satisfy all disputation? Surely
tile duty of Kellogg himself. And if he did
not do it, is he not responsible forall the evils
resulting from the contest? The whole
difficulty arose from Wards determination
against the assumed governor of the State
to turn out Office the appointees of Kellogg
Conferences were repeatedly held with him
by both sides Ward at length determined d
to do in Grant parish, toward Kellogg, what
KELLOGG had done toward the government o

that he gave commissions to his app0in.tos' il
