TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 99. 73 The Result of a Bad Example. The riot in Grant parish, which culminated horribly on Sunday in the roasting to death of eighty or one hundred negroes who had taken possession of the court house in the town of Col feiXcour the State Government, and of the vicious appeals to race prejudice which have formed the basis of the carrot baggers policy in the reconstructed States of the ntrol over the dostriously sought to incite feelings of hostility the part of the blacks their constant endeavor to assure the ignorant negroes that the main result or th war was that the blinks, with their carpet bagging friends, should hold all thV offices in their several States, and exercise absolute rule ever their former which many prominent negro offioe neuters nave acqoirea, excite the cupidity of their less fortun in Grant parish, as in any other Southern localities, the de all of them ought to have in turn As the leaders of the negro party failed of securing an election to the offices they coveted, they naturally looked to New Orleans, the headquarters of their party, for information as to how they precisely similar to their own. Kellogg, the Republican candidate for Governor, had been defeated by the people, and r. McEnery, who was snpported'by of Democrats and Liberal Repub tiDs, representing nearly ntelligence of "the State, had been elected tnar.

omce. uy having the support of United States troops, seized tne ioi State, without even pretendi had been elected, and apportioned the patronage bei lit himself. This served as a hint to the negroes of Grant The eerier of the blacks, Wm. Ward, was a man who kept his eyes wall open all the time, ready to embrace all promising opportunities. Learning that Kel logga elaim to be considered Governor was supported by the President of the United States, he presented Himself at New Orleans and declared that he would have been elected to the Legislature if a ballot box had not been broken open.

This declaration was recognized as forming sufficient evidence of election, and be was admitted to a seat in the Kellogg Legislature. This recognition of his pretentions to a place among the rulers of the State completely unsettled the ignorant fellow's senses. There had been a misunderstanding in regard to the officers of Grant parish. The local election was entirely disregarded by Kellogg's returning board, and Kellogg appointed a set of men to rill the vacancies. These failed to qualify according to law.

and after the time allowed for them to do so had expired, Kellogg, at the instance of Judge W. R. Rutland, who was afterward driven off by the riotesa. commissioned she officers who were really elected, including both Republicans and Fneionists, white and colored, except a parish Judge, who had already qualified and was a Republican. This did not suit the plans of the ambitious Ward, who, being a member of the Kellogg Legislature, learned what blacks who would not submit to his rule as well as whites, and committed robbery and assassination at will.

Finally the whites rallied from different points, besieged the rioters in the court tlight those of the blacks who escaped groes actually roasted the name of the most shocking pecially by reason ot the revolting death of the poor blacks who were burned ignorant negro like Capt. Ward, wl had seen Gen. Grant overturn all lawf authorities and take nossession of a so ereign State by military force, should follow the example of his chief and also oy armed probable that Capt. Ward has been burned up. In the eases of the State of Louisiana vs.

Plaintiffs had obtained a writ of provisional seiz While under and in charge of the sheriff's keeper! the property was secretly removed from said premises, and with the exception of two mattresses was never thereafter found. The said mattresses were found in the possession of William Wolf, a dealer in furni for $2250, the amount of the jndgmi against Mrs. Ha and a further of $750, special damages growing employe.

The answer of Mr. Sau tha Wolf be called in warranty and in care there should be judgment against Sauvinet, that the latter have a like rndgment in his favor against Wolf. Wolf answers by a general denial. The evidence shows gross negligence on the part of the keeper, or collusion with the parties who clandestinely carried away the property under seizure. The sneriff is responsible for the con duot of the keeper in the premises.

We are responsible not only for the damage occasioned by our own act, but for that which is caused by the act of isconduot of the said keeper sheriff himself. "Where, through the negligence of a sheriff, an opportunity is afforded to a debtor of removing into another State property seized under attachment, and plaintiff thereby loses his covered against the sheriff' and his sureties lnsolido." Sandidge vs. Jones, 2d The testimony shows that William Wolf knowingly assisted Mrs. Jennie Huckins in illegally removing her furniture, after its seizure on a writ issued from the Fifth District Court. Wolf is, right of action against Wolf.

A Town Under Water. Hon. Frank Ti of Jaeksonport, fnrnibhes the Little Rock Gazette the following There was the highest water in White River since 1867 last week, at which time the river rose suddenly, and in a short time reached suoh a height as to completely overflow its banks. The most serious damages of which we have learned happened at or near Jackson port, four miles from the Cairo and Fulton Railroad in Jackson county. On last Saturday night the water reached its greatest height at Jackson port, being from three and a half to four feet deep throughout the entire village.

Every street in the place, except Jefferson or the levee, has been flooded. Main red witn water its enure one square of Jefferson deep. In Jaeksonport ry garden was numbers of cattle, hogs and chickens were drowned in the village. It was thought that the water was a foot or more higher in Jaeksonport than it would have been had it not been damased by the lower levee. During the highest water the large steamer Pat Cleburne landed at just above Jaeksonport has been totally Black Kiver, which is in sight steamer Batesville left about three hun dred bales of which have been below Jaeksonport, a wing of has been totally swept away.
