MAJ. III. j. HEARsRY, of the Shreve-
port Times, who was q passenger on
the Inflated steamer Southwestern,
gives the following particulars as to
the origin of the fire:
''There can be but little doubt that
the Obstruction of the Southwestern
was the work of an incendiary. The
fire originated in the recess between
the rear of the cabin, and the cook
house and the chambermaid's room,
and Immediately against the outside Of
the cabin. There was no fire or light
in the cook-house or chambermaid's
room--in fact there were no flies up
stairs anywhere, and only q lard oil
lamp suspended from the center of the
roof of the recess. The fire was first
discovered by Mexican woman, who
was sleeping in the recess and the
alarm was given by her, but immedi-
ately before the alarm, one of the lady
passengers heard some one pass very
hurriedly from the rear Of the cabin
toward the front.
Thirty-iive of the witnesses who had
been summoned to New Orleans to tes-
tify in behalf of the Grant parish pris-
oners left New Orleans on the South
western for their homes. The govern
ment had refused to furnish these wit
nesses with passage, or to pay them per
diem; most of them were poor men,
their money was exhausted and the
committee of seventy had made ar
engagements with the Southwestern to
X,t- fNt "a Gfll
sation, to be paid evidently by the
committee. To prevent the boat being
imposed on, Mr.. Ogden gave the cap
tain list of those entitled to this kind
ness; but it seems that Mr.. Ogden was
in one instance imposed on himself,
and in the list of names appeared that
of the generally supposed incendiary,.
negro politician of Colfax. The even
ing before reaching Alexandria sever
al of the negro witnesses informed
Captain Jacobs that this fellow had
been upraiding them for testitying in
favor of the whites; the negro was in
mediately summoned to the Office, and
on being pointed out to the gentlemen
of Rapides, and Grant, was recognized
by only one man, who said lie knew
MN 10 NC one OI the bTdlueoU lhSO,iS
in Grant parish, and regular white
man hater The fellow was afterwards
heard to say that he would have satis-
faction, and would revenge himself
His destination was ColfaX; he was on
board Just below there, and was never
seen after the fire. He stated on board
that he would be candidate fol. the
legislature from Grant this fall, and he
will, in all probability, in the course of
few months, become one of the ru!
lers and lawmakers of Louisiana, and
one of the pillars of the Kellogg gov
eminent.
