We find the -following sensational paragraph among the special tele grams to the New Orleans Picayune, vis: Pollock, La., Aug. 5.-Rumor reach ed this place to-day that the negroes In ward 7 of this parish have formed a plan and have decided to make a raid on the -whites, who hold their annual camp meeting at Ebeneser, commencing next Thursday. It is not known at this time whether this report is true or not, but an tnvesti gation will be made before the time arrives. There has been no breach of the peace between the whites and the blacks, and there is no reason for the negroes to complain. It is reported also that the negroes are beingled by some malicious white person. The sender of the above telegram was lacking both in information and good sound judgment. There is scseely half a grain of fact upon which to base the whole pound of sensation and saondal. The matter all occurred more than three weeks ago, and, as there was nothing In It, we deferred to the wish of parties In terested and made no newspaper mention of the Incident. The facts are about as follows: J. H. Ellis, president of the 8th District Colored Baptist Assoelation, in com pany with one or two other colored preachers, members of the same or ganisatlon, visited Montgomery a few weeks ago, to hold a meeting of their "executive board," appointed for that place several months before. These colored men have been meeting at that place, and other points in (rant parish, on the same business, for the last twenty-five years, and nothing has ever been thought of It. However, their last meeting hap pened to be Just after the killing of young Foster, near Shreveport, at which time the subject of dangerous secret societies among the negroes was. being freely discussed. Among thenegroesin the Montgomery neigh -drhood isa knock-kneed and hotori ous lar by the name of Charles Bry ant, who told it that the meeting among the negroes was for the pur pose of organising a secret klan to kill off 'te whitee. This naturally exclted iatet at and created some alarmalnouga few persona. A safl dtikit was sworn out before Magis trie R. W. Horn, who ssuned asearch wairantand placed it in the hands of ~nnstable Thos H. Harrell, who n. company with a posse of ten or a dosen citlsens proceeded to search the hquses of Lee and Tom Walker and Albert Lowe, and other negroes said to be engaged In the plot. Find lng nothing to confirm the report, and at the earnest request of the ac esed. they were brought face to face with their aecuser. On beag closely questioned, Charles Bryant acknowl" edged that he had simply lied. And as the Incident closed-we snppose S600oo Thino a. i% oml Colfax Oil' and Mineral Company, OF ALEXANDRIA, LA.

This certifi cate, which is extensively signed by the best citizens ot Colfax and vicinl ty, who have known J. H. Ellis for many years, was brought to the Chronicle office by him for publica tlon last week. We advised Ellis against its publication, as theetisens of Montgomery and ward seven had dropped the matter as unworthy of notice¶ and so the matterrested until the rumor seems to have ieen whis pered across the parish, and is given unwarranted credit and publicity by the Pollock correspondent of the Ple ayvune. The negroes of Grant parish, and particularly those about Colfax. have no intention or desire to try eonulu slone with the whites. Some years ago they were foolishly led Into tron ble by delgning white men, and suf fered greatly in consequence. Then they outnumbered the whites in the parish, now the whites outnumber them threeto one, and thereeertatnly is no disposition to repeat the folly. The whites and blacks of thiscoun try are living in faithful and falst friendliness, and there is no deeasion to fearany breach of their peaceful re lations. The whites treat the blacks kindly and .justly, and In return the blacks labor ladustriously and sheet fully to meet obligations incurred. Such reports are foolish It not malic Ious, and are liable to bring on trou ble, and he is heartless indeed who would precipitate strife when there is occasion for none. Their Secret Is Ouit.

The passenger train has come and gone regularly every day this week, and the railroad and telegraph has become a considerable part of the Colfax business with ready adapta tton. Tons of freight are brought in by -every train, and telegrams are sent and received in rapkLorder. The steel rails have been laid into Pineville, and it will only be a few weeks until train service will be ex tended to that point. The work trains go and come several timeseach day, and great activity prevails among those charged with complet ing theroad. General Manager Green is constantly with the workers, and seems to be bending every energy to hasten its completiol. The telegraph line has been laid south from Colfax about twelve miles, to a point near Rigolette bay on, where the steam shovel s located.
