AS TO EMPLOYMENT
The magnitude of the enterprise will afford
employment to hundreds of men, and bring
plenty to many "whose plain and simple
annals have been of late of suffering and
want.
1t will add new enterprise to the few now
existing in the city, and will afford evidence
to the outside world of the new feeling of
confidence and hope in the future which is
now slowly growing in this community.

TRAGEDY IN COLFAX.
Killing of G. H. Radetzki, State
Tax Collector, by Ex.Sheriff
John B. Mccoy.
The Cause Unknown.

The following letter, which has been
placed in our hands for publication, contains
the only intelligence of the killing of Mr.. G.
Fl. Radetzki that has yet been received in
this city.
The deceased was Polish exile, Al years
of age, and for many years a resident of this
State. He was in the Confederate and subse-
quently in the Federal army. and about two
years ago was appointed tax collector of Grant
parish.
The cause of the difficulty is as yet un-
known, though the friends of the deceased in
this city represent him as a desperate man,
frequently engaged in violent encounters.
He leaves a wife and four children, who are
residing in this city.

Lawrence Faust, Esq, New Orleans:
Dear Ffiend-I scarcely know how to COM

timely death of your friend and brother, G.
81. Radetzski, who was killed, yesterday
morning, by wound from shotgun in the
hands of ex-Sheriff John B. Mccoy His body
will be buried to-day, near Colfax, by his
| Masonic brothers.
We would gladly have communicated with
you, and his bereaved family, in reference to
| his burial, in order to give it the proper at
tention, but our isolated position, end the
difficulties in the way of procuring a metallic
case for the better preservation of the body,

Yours in friendship,
In addition to the above, the following
particulars of the affair have been cleaned
About an hour before the shooting the two
men had an alteration, arising from causes
not definitely ascertained, but which are re-
ported to have been founded on the efforts of
Radetzki to collect sum of money due by
Mccoy for taxes.
After indulging in considerable talk the two
parted, Mccoy leaving the room in which
the quarrel took place, stating as he did
| so that he would kill Radetzski.
The latter attached no importance to the
threat, and in q short time after Mccoy left
went on the balcony and was confronted by
Mccoy, who held a shotgun raised to his
| shoulder and cooked.
Radetzski had time to make but one appeal
for his life, when Mccoy fired and he fell,
pierced in the right side with ten buck
shot, with which the gun was loaded,
and ded,in about twenty minutes.
Both were somewhat prominent in politics,
they both being members of the Republican
party and Office holders, although at the time
of the ARRAY Mccoy was out of position,
he having been removed short time ago from
the Office of Sheriff by Judge Stokes, the
Parish Judge.

Lincoln County.

The county of Lincoln was organized
Oct. 22d, 1874, pursuant to an act of
the Legislature, and contains in round
numbers about two and three-quarter
millions of acres Of land. 1t is esti-
mated by competent judges that nearly
one-fourth of this amount is fair to
good agricultural land, being mostly
covered with hard wood timber: it is
also estimated that another quarter of
its acre is pine land, worth on an aver
age about $500 per acre, while the
balance is made up of swamps, pine
slashings, rivers, &c. with more than
an even chance Of a large quantity Of
rich mineral lands IL the norhern part.
With such territory, what il there to
prevent its becoming one Of the best

Preparing for a Struggle.

A Georgia correspondent of. the
Cleveland Herald writes:
All over the south the youno and
middleaged are forming into military
companies, and drilling every day or
night, as may be most convenient.
This practice prevails all through the
south, and is actively and persistently
carried on. where there is not suffici-
ent arms in the state for the arming of
these military organizations, they are
bought and bill is now pending be-
fore the Georgia Legislature appro2ri-
ating money for that purpose, as we'll
AS to provide for the cadets in the State
military schools. What all this means
is matter of no little moment, and very
properly excites the alarm of the col
ored people, as well as those from the
North. They claim to be impoverished
by the late war, and to be overriden by
taxation and the like, the only remedy
for which i. economy and thrift, and
the most thorough indsutry; and instead
of work the chivalry loaf and drink
and in the cool of the day they 90
through the maneuvers Of war, and
are furnished with the latest breech-
leaders, with which, at no distant day,
they may under the plea of self-protec-
ton, shoot down poor Sambo, or awe
him into subsection, by the point of
the bayonet, none the less rebel because
hostilities have not actually begun. [
predict that the Southern people are
fully and frml y resolved to carry the
negro vote by the point of the bayonet
in the campaign of 1876, and that this
arming and d;scipling of those in the
League is but the preparation for the
greatest slaughter of the colorod people
that has yet occurred, and with the hope
that enough States of the North may
vote Democratic with the solid South
to carry the election, and when that is
done woe betide the Union men and
colored people in the Southern States
1t will be the bloodiest and most san
culinary struggle ever witnessed by the
civilized world. This is no romance
and will be fully realized within
the next two years.

Items from the Tribune.

Two weeks ago to-day-a terribly
cold one-Mr. Michael Cregan, of
the town of Sigel, came to this city
on foot. He drank rather freely, but
being a remarkably stout, robust
man, he gave little outward indica
ton Of being under the influence of
liquor. At about 4 o'clock he started
for home, seven miles distant, and
when about half way he stopped at
the house of an acquaintance, who
urged him to remain over night; but
thanking his friend kindly, and re-
marking that it would be just as cold
on the morrow, he declined the offer
and resumed his journey. (The
friend says he showed no sign of be-
ing intoxicated and that he had no
bottle with him.) Having had no
dinner, after proceeding mile or SO
he became faint and waek, and sat
down to rest. Partially revived, he
started again, but had not gone far
before bis knees gave out, and again
he rested. Seeing that he was get
ting chilled, he again started, but
found himself unable to walk. Then
he attempted his journey on his
hands and knees, but becoming be-
wildered, he took the back track, for
about a mile, when he found he could
proceed no further. He sought a
large stump by the roadside to shield
him from the wind, and sat there
until Monday morning! A neigh
Dor coming along about daylight,
discovered his friend and took him
home. We learn that one arm and
leg were frozen and that he died on
last Tuesday night-a little over a
week after he was found-and was
buried on Thursday.
Mr.. Cregan is highly spoken of as
a man and neighbor. and his untime-
ly death casts a dark shadow over
his legion of friends. He was I'M
married.
We have received notice of Mr..
Cowle's death but TOO late to insert in
