[From the New Orleans I'Tcayune.] The exaggerated telegrams and reports sent from this city to the northern and western papers detailing their string of unexampled horrors of the recent fight at Colfax are not taken altogether without a few grain? of salt by the press mentioned, and few indeed 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 Louisana Trou bles," says the account given of this affair by this United States Attorney Reckwith in a dispatch to Attorney-rtcneral Williams and the special report made to the New York Times upon (lie strength of the statement ol Deputy-Marshal DcKlync, who visited the scene the day after the conflict, are presu niably exaggerated. The partisan feeling of the marshal is but illy concealed. TI writer goes on to say : "The Louisianiam are vcr.{ restive under an administration fastened upon them with Federal bayonets? an administration confessedly put in power without a single official proof of its lega right to exist, and against the protests o the most prominent citizens and it add; that Ward, encouraged by the Federal ex ample of ousting Fusion officers, was emu lous of the example set in New Orleans, s< concluded to repeat it on a smaller scale ii Grant Parish. GOV. KELLOGG AND IIIS GUNBOAT. From the Jfew York Herald. Is not Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana stretching his authority a little in gettinj up an amateur navy, with belligerent intcn tions, on his own account ? It has, we be lieve. been generally supposed that Congres had sole power in such cases, and the Presi dent was commander-in-chief of the arm and navy of tho United States, with a secre tnry of the navy?who, fortunately, at thi iucture, happens to be a rare old salt?as i cabinet adviser. Hut perhaps Kellogg hai usurped the title of "lord high admiral,' like his other arrogant assumptions in Lou isann, and it was necessary for him to have navy in order to complete his svvav as big] cockalorun in general of the "Pelican''State a soubriquet \\\n{ should at once be droppei by the people, for Louisana has ceased t "feed her young." Now let us see what th lord high admiral will do with his gunboal TREASON IN I.OUISANA. From tlie New York Tribune. Governor Kellogg is of course not to b blamed for doing his best to sustain the ai thority with which the President has invest ' 1 * ? ' - l-~ 1.. l.? /I, en hum. loiijj u* iiv {mckiiun i<> i>u m (lovcrnor of Louisiana, it is his duty to us whatever means are at his command forsuj pressing violence and preventing a repot tion of such lmrriblo poem's as were reeontl witnessed in drant parisli. The flotill I which lie has organized -to run up the ri\ i er.s and bayous," consisting, as it would a] pear from the telegraphic reports, of a stean boat, a twelve pound howitzer, and a troo of cavalry, is a necessary equipment of tl; State government in the existing temper > i tho population, and wo daro say it wi i find abundunt occupation. Ho has doi i well Tlso to offer a liberal reward for the f conviction of the Colfax assassins. Those 1 who condemn most severely the measures by ; which ho intruded himself into office will 1 most cordially approve his vigorous prosecu tion of the authors of this terrible massacre. j But -Kcllogg's attempt to throw the odium 3 of the Colfax affair upon Mr. McEnery is ; the trick of a demagogue. In his letter to 1 the attorney-general of the State he assumes f that the riot in New Orleans on the 5th of 3 March and the slaughter on the banks of j Red river on Easter Sunday were connected . incidents of an armed conspiracy by McEn. cry and his supporters to overthrow the go. vernmcnt; and ho directs prosecution to be instituted against McEnery for treason, or 1 "levying war against the commonwealth." 1 Anywhere but in Louisiana a threat of this f kind would be ridiculous; but Mr. Kellogg . i lioa nlptmrW rlnno such extraordinarv and I I 11 ?>. ??* WV"W _ ~ t/ | f uncxnmplcd wrongs through his courts 1 that wc cannot pronounce any perversion of f justice too gross to'bc possible in those tri? bunals. The behavior of Gov. McEnery, j under tho usurpation which deprives him of 1 his office, has commanded general sympathy 1 throughout the country. Ho has lost no . propel1 occasion of asserting his rights, in a peaceable way, but lie has always urged his . followers to refrain from violence; and al. though the origin of the riot on the 5th of 1 March is not known, we'may say that it was . so indirectly at variance with MoEnery'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 aoeusations. r He Bpaaks of it as "the result" as McEnery's "treatable acts against the State government.'* We know on the contrary that it | was the result of Kellogg's own usurpations, | the direot fruit of that antipathy of race t which he hits done more to foster than any | other man in the South. He has taught . the bl|oks that with law or without it, with votes or without them, it is their privilege I to rulo the conquered and humiliated $?ate. > j He 'has taught the whites that for them the . j ballot box.is no protection, and the courts are ;; closed By an act of pure despotism he has . i set ud an ignorant minority in power, intru ded them into all the offices, given them fall . liberty to tax and to steal; and the educated r 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 tho wicked work which Kellogg 'iMrf *>? - i -i* Imvc accomplished, ha. ^ tweeWiemr * ~ """" dJajTT KBLLOCO'S VERACITY. Frcm the New Orlonns Picayune. ' I On the 21st of April Kellogg telegraphed | to the attorney-general of the United States, | at Wm-hington, as follows: ,, The statement that / issued commissions 1; to fusion officers it> Gram parish, or any other, I than those just commissioned is untrue, j A long list of appointments to offices, more i than a column long, and apparently covering i many offices in the different parishes, appear cd in Kellogg's organ, the New Orleans ' Republican, March 27th, with the following i heading: , APPOINTMENTS BY THE GOVERNOR. Since the adjournment of the legislrturc ' the following appointments have been made > by Governor Kellogg: * * * * * Grant Parish.?C. C. Nash, sheriff; R. 1 Ii. Walker, clerk; 1\ G. Lcyssard, recorder; > Henry T)eshazier, coroner; Thomas Johnson, I John 0. Odum, B. F. Bryan, Matthew Nu gent. sr., A. V. llngan, police jurors; B. C. McKinney, dohn,Ferry, B. Bryan, J. H. ' Lincicum, Charles Nugent, II. Y. Waddill, f A. V. Bagnn, justices of the peace; Griflin 5 White, James Yuron, J. W. Moffatt, John Xugeut, Matthew Nugent, jr., A. X. 0. Quinn, Frank Sharp, constables; L. E. Troy, 5 tax-collector. 1 It 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 3 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 Kellogg for a commission. Ho probably deemed ^ the official annunciation of his appointment, ' with no other authority to invalidate it, suf' ficient to authorize his assumption of offioe. g He accordingly, with the other appointees of , the governor, entered upon the duties of the offices to which they were appoinnted. a If any one questioned the validity of Kelj* logg's appointment, whose duty was it to arrest and satisfy all disputation ? Surely tlih du?y ot Kellogg himself. And if ho did not do it. is he not rcsponsibe for all the evils ? j resulting from the contest? The whole difficulty arose from Ward's determination, against I lie assumed governor of tho State, to turn out office the appointees of Kellogg. Conferences were repeatedly held with him, c by both sides. Ward at length determined i- to do in Grant parish, toward Kellogg, what t- Kellogg had done toward tho government of c Louisiana?take the offices by force. The 10 mean subterfuge of Kellogg in denying >- that he gave commissions to his appointee, is i- iitperfect keeping with the destitution of y principle his whole usurpation displays, lie a appointed thein to office, and they assumed tlo offices, by his authority and sanction, p- No man of ordinary self respect would have lio'd them out to others as usurpers. Vet 'p this is what ho has done, and by denying 10 that ho had given commissions he intended d it to bo inferred that they had aete<| without 11 his authority and without any authority. All to writers on morals agree, that intentional do ception is falsehood. But is fbis anything, in the morals which rule the usurped government of Louisiana ? " . _ . i BISHOP qUIITABD. Charles T. Quintard, Episcopal bishop of I Tennessee, is a rare man. He is apart from the common herd of humanity, and his type c is not met with often in the daily h^pnts of a life, as wo will set forth. In an age of sneer- ? ing infidelity, replete with all the cynicism of modern materialism, he laid aside the com- b fortable revenues of an honored and lucra- b tive profession to shoulder the cross. To many men this may not be heroism, but to a e calm and philsophic thinker, who knows the fi 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 become the fashion of small intellects to cast w doubt and ridicule upon the sacred mysteries of the gospel. It is in their atrophied d brains all indication of an investigating skep- p tical and learned apprehension. The modern crusader has to encounter all this in his a fight for the cross, and although he does not Ii n*TA A IA aa ill A fTiltnrti AM/1 QOMAAAR ? ?a?c \aj iuvu i/iiv uuuiib auu uvtjr uuavoii) and is not burned at the stake, yet his task is a hard one, and his foes are a thousand to ^ one There is one consolation, however, he w should carry like ajar of precious oil wherever his destiny may be cast, and that is he 8t is the genuine benefactor of his race, the fi, conservator of order and society and the foundation stone of order and government. . Charles T. Quintar^ never hesitated, bat followed the footsteps of Him who oa the w distant hills of Jadea opened the gates of 1,11 mercy for mankind. He never stopped to reason about the matter of dollan'ana cents. "] We doubt very much if he knows or earns tl for their proper or commercial valae. His "< work was cut out by the Master, aid he goes forth almost literally with scrip and g sandal, aud with a cheerful, hopeful counte- ^ nance, and docs it bravely. Is not such a man, in thissneoring age, ? hero? But this ^ is not all. What southern soldier, who bears witiu his breast the heart of a man, <x> that doer not look upon this good man with n love and veneration? On many a bloody P1 field of strife he has knelt beside the dying M patriot and pointed the way to the pearly gates of blids, and his prayera have risen up ^ in the smoke of battle and have been uttered fcj amid the awful thunder of artillery, and m the rattle of musketry, and the groans of a] the wouuded, like a white winged messenger from an unhappy earth to heaven. Ho has whispered words of hope and comfort in e< the cars of men dying for their country. n lie has heard the last uttered human wish n yf many a ^rare soul, and b? baa been faith- P1 fill to all u>?ir sac red reqaerfta. Ho stood I upon the field of battle the representee of at no earthly power, but of a power which the s< armaments of embattled nations are but as "I toys and playthings of an hour. He did his f? duty well and nobly in those perilous and b< trying times, and he has not faltered in its unerring line. He still bears the the cross f of the Master with a mcelc and christian .. grace that shines out in a world much troubled by spiritualism, infidelity, materialism, and coarse and vulgar sin, like a ?! raiment of light.- 0 A letter from Africa relate how monkeys j*( are caught there: " In Dafour and Senner 1 the natives make a fermented beer of which 01 the monkeys arc passionately fond. Aware of this, the natives go to the parts of the j J! forest frequented by the monkeys, and set ; 1 on the ground calabashes full of liquor. As soon as the monkey sees and tastes it, he tc utters loud cries of joy that soon attracts his ft comrades. Then tlio orgic begins, and in a U short time they show all degrees of intoxi- n cation. Then the negroes appear. The tl /?? 1 a.i p.,,1 IL'W lllUllKUYS lllUt I'aum I.UU JillC UJ ?CI. luudied escape.

When a negro takes one by. the hand ^ to lead him oft', the nearest monkey will ciing to tho oue that thus finds a support, and endeavor to go off also. Another will ^ grasp at him, and so on, until a negro leads a staggering line of teo or fifteen tipsy monkeys. Whenfinallv brought to the village, h they are securely caged and gradually sob- c< ercd down; but for too or three days a grad cj ually diminished supply of liqudr is given H them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to their state of captivity.
