THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. The United
States Centennial Commission announces it
readiness to receive applications for space in the
international exhibition of 1876, at Philadelphia.
1t is important that it should be known with
the least possible delay what space will be re-
qured in each of the departments of the exhi-
btion by American exhibitors, in order that 1t
may be determined what room can be assigned
to foreign nations. Manufacturers and others
who purpose exhibiting in this occasion should
therefore make known their intention prompt
ly, and thus avoid the disappointment of find
ing the room they desire preoccupied.
1t is especially desirable that early provision
should be made for the organization of those
collective exhibitions of the natural resources
and raw materials of different sections of the
country which cannot be made by individual ex-
hibi.ions. The Importance of this. as an incentive
to Immigration aud to the investment of for
eign capital, cannot be oyerestimated; and a
liberal provision for the prompt and thorough
performance of the work will amply reray
those states which undertake it.
The advertisement of the Director-G General of
| the international exhibition tells in what man
ner applications should be made.

SHREVEPORT, Aug. 29.-Letters tonight
brought by courier states that 800 armed ne
groes had assembled below Coushatta ard were
constantly receiving reinforcements from all
quarters The town is guarded by 200 white
men, who call for help, A courier also arrived
at Merden, Webster Parish, who brings nfor-
nation that 40limen lefb Cotton Point at day
light this morning for the scene of the conflict.
Seventy men left here this afternoon and more
will follow tonight Renforcements have also
gone from Meriden. A letter from Mr.. String
fellow at Robinson place, states that conflict
is inevitable and thinks it can't be delayed
longer than tonight. The black population of
Red River Parish outnumber the white three to
one. Conshatta is so miles from tae nearest
telegraph station and it is not possible that fur
ther particulars can be had before tomorrow.
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. The Evening
Picayune says a telegram from Shreveport
this morning brings the startling information
that body of 800 armed negroes have assem-
bled at Conshatta, and that the greatest alarm
and excitement prevails throughout the whole
upper Red River country. The immediate OBJ
ject of this gathering is not stated but there is
sufficient menace in the fact itself to arouse
everybody to sense of danger and impending
misfortune. The neghborhood of Cons hatta to
Colfax suggests the probability that the noto-
rious Ward has something to do with the pres
ent affair." Perhaps we are destined to hear
more of those muSkets which the Grant Par
sh witnesses took with them when they re-
turned after trial. The impression in Shreye.
port this morning was that serious trouble
would result though we trust more favorable
advices will reach US tonight.
The Story Discredited.
The Secretary of the Governor says, ssNo
credence is given at the executive department
to that Conshatta despatch in this evenings
Picayune, which is apparently intended to ex-
cite the people and bring about another Grant
Parish affair. Ward is in this city and has
never left it for year, and the only founda-
ton for the statement is that the sheriff at
Conshatta has summoned a posse of "a persons,
Is white and so colored to defend the parish
officers in case of any attempt to force them to
lesign"
"Very Thin.''
SHREVEPORT, Aug. 26, s p. ma courier
hrs just arrived from Conshatta and reports 1877
white men there. Alllis quiet and no further
trouble is apprehended. The white people

and six leading negroes. These arrests left the
negroes without leaders and their camp was

| over the peaceful termination of what threat
| ened to be a bloody race conflict.
