NEw-ORLEANs, Oct. IA bloody riot occurred
on Sunday between two factions Of the Republican
party in the parish of St. James, about 60 miles from
New Orleans. at q store near the Convent OF tho
Sacred Heart. The persons engaged were all ne
groes one party being led by carpet-bagger named
Bovee; the name of the leader Of the other 10 not
given. For some time past a division has existed in
the party in that parish, and feeling Of great
hostility was generated by the desire Of
both parties to effect a compromise with the Con-
servatives, who, in consequence Of the dissenson,
hold the balance of power. The immediate cause of
the fight has not been ascertained. Knives and
pistols freely used and with telling effect for
many were seriously wounded. Quiet has been re-
stored but the quiet people of the parish In fear
of another outbreak and the excesses which must
follow the conflicts of the drunkVa and infurated
negroes.
II is reported that fight also occurred on Sunday
afternoon at Point a la Hache between the Butler
and Mahonv Republican factions in which one man
seriously wounded.
In Terre Bonne OH Saturday, riot was caused by
negroes who were opposed to the compromise Domi-
nations recently made in that parish. The Republi-
can Convention was broken up in free fight, and
a number of the participants were more or less
severely wounded Fuller details have not been
received. None but colored men took part in the
disturbances. 1t will not break up the compromise

only answer to the recent address of prominent
colored Republicans protesting against his Govern
ment and calling for share in its administration
has been the removal from office of two of the sign
ers of the address, Felix c. Antoine brother Of the
Lieutenant-GOyernOr,a and James III. Ingraham, one
ofthe smartest colored men in the State. These
could not be bought to take the Kellogg views
Others more pliable will be given the Offices,
in the hope that they will be conciIated. No charge
has been made against either of the persons re-
moved. Many leading negroes complain bitterly OF
the matter and are not at all moderate in their
threats. One, leading man in the late address Of
colored citizens declares that they will run that
pet-bagger Kellogg out of the State and scare him
more than the White Leaguers ever did.
Gov Kellogg has received the following dispatches,
which were referred to the Advisory Board:

MY RICHES.
BY DAVID d. HUDSON.


-Four light feet that patter, patter
All the live,ong day;
Four small hands that scatter, scatter
Playthings in my way;
Four pure eyes that sparkle, sparkle
Tender, bright and clear;
Four white lids TO droop and darkle
Underneath tear;
-Four red lips that ceaseless utter
Wise and witty things;
yellow curls that ffutter, hutter
Like fair golden wings;
Wee. soft fingers clinging, clinging
To my father-hands:
Two sweet voices singing, singing
Songs Of baby lands; $500
Two warm hearts forever beating
One In each young breast;
Two fair, fondled forms retreating
To my arms 10 rest.i.
These my riches-growing, growing
Every hour they stay;
An unearthly brightness throwing
On the dullest day.
