LOUISANA.
The Situation as it is Viewed by Lead

Usurpation.
[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

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

(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

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

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 ? " .

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

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

to distrust the negroes, but apparently take
theui for larger spccimcnts of their own spc- j.
cles. 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. K
A most singular banquet has just taken place : a<
in Paris. A. M. Pecroire invited Beveral, ir
of his friends and a small company of tcien- j yi
tific men to dine upon the flesh of horses ir
who had died from tho glanders; of cows,' p
the victims of the rinderpest, and of an ass. ai
just killed from the hydrophobia. It was a
" test banquet;" one that proved thedevo-1 ,
