THE GRAND PARISH MASSM BK.
The bloojy business at Colfax
Grand Parish, Loaisuns, turns oat to
be of precisely such a crnel and
nnrderons natue as we suspected
when the news of it first reached
here. It came sneaking along in the
outset as the report of " a war of
races," then as "a desperate con
flict;" and now the official state
in; nts denounce it as one of the most
devilish instances of wholesale
butchery on record. The particulars
reveal more numerous slaughter
ing than the Memphis riots resulted
in. Here are the latest statements
by telegraph :
Washington. April 18. United
States Attorney Beck with telegraph
ed to Attorney General Wil.iams
from New Orleans to-dar as follows: j
Deputy Marshal Deckline has re
turned from Colfax. He arrived
there the day after the massacre. I
The details are horrible. The Damo i
crats of Grand parish attempted for
cibly to oast the incambent parish
officers bat failed, the Sheriff pro
tecting the officers with a colored
posse. Several days afterwards re
cruits from other parishes, to the
number of 300, came to the assist
ance of the assailants, when t'.iey de
manded the surrender of the colored
people, which was refused. An at
tack was then made and the negroes
driven into the Court-house, which

After all resistance had ceased. 65
negroes, terribly mutilated, were
found dead near the ruins of the
Court honse, and 30 known to have
been taken prisoners are said to have
been shot after their surrender. 1 wo
of the assailants were wounded.
The slaughter was greater than in
the riot of I8C6 in this citv.
New Yobs, April 18. The Times'
New Orleans special says of the
troubles iu Grand parish that not a
ingle negro was killed until they
had surrendered, when nearly 100
were shot down. It is understood
that a number more were burned to
death in the Court honse. After the
butchery the whites scattered in ev
ery direction, a few of them going to
their homes, but many Jeft for the
Texas bonier in the hope of escap
ing the consequences of their crime
The State troops on arriving at the
scene of hostilities buried over sixty
bodies of colored men. The Federal
troops cannot proceed forward for
want of transportation. "
This so far surpasses the diabol
isms of the Modocs that we come to
look upon their performances with a
ealm and philosophical patience.
, Grand Parish is locality where the
Democracy do not even pretend to
go through the farce of shaking
hands across the bloody chasm. The
.desperadoes and cutthroats of the
Louisiana and Texas border seem to
have found convenient rendezvous
there. , This is what comes of the
machinations and villainous pints of
the Wartnoths and the McEnerys;
and this also illustrates the fact that
the rule of the bayonet " has been
set-aiide' in Louisiana a good deal
.too soon.
As rr resenting the reasonable de-
dnctionaof those people whoarestill
in the bonds of sinand the chains
f tlie old AdacC and who think
that the Modocs' mean and cowardly
treachery shows the weak, and driv
elling nonsense of the Indian peace
policy, the sentimentalists and con
troversial pacificators of the godly
East are flooding the President with
petitions and protests urging him not
to pive way to the pressure bjr which
he is surrounded, but still maintain
the prayerful, persuasive and non-
combatant attitude of the peace
mongers the same being urged in
the very face of a report from a dis
couraged Peace Commissioner at the
Lava Beds to the eject that he is
constrained to give up hi3 mission
and acknowledge it to be a bad job
altogether. It has long been evident
that a prevalent dyspeptic sentimen
tal ism among certain moral and re
ligious theorists and enthusiasts in
the Atlantic States pictures the white
dwellers in the Far West as pack'
of hard-hearted, cruel -minded, unre
strained and lawless bushwhackers
whose loftiest delight is to cheat and
murder and impose upon the noble
red man, and that they are too de
graded to appreciate the beneficent
effects of the civilization and Chris
tian enlightenment which would
cover the mansion and thecampoody
al ke and resolve into an Arcodian
and Millenia homogeniety all na
tions and kindreds of men, from the
lice-eaters of Yuba City to the pie
biters of Massachusetts, if this theo
retical peace policy could only be
allowed to have a free and nnhin-
dered sway. Bat so long as Grant
continnes to direct Schofield and
Crook to keep up their attacks upon
the Modocs and Apaches we can suf
fer the old maids of both sexes to
assail the Presidential ear with their
toarf nl waitings and waste their mor
bid sympathies upon the redskins.
Thk Modocs seem to have got
away. Uue or onr Drave sergeants
coming upon Scar faced Charley and
finding him wounded and partly de
composed and therefore compara
tively harmless, manfully and with
heroic intrepidity scalped that dis
abled red man and now flings aloft
that aboriginal hair as a trophy of
prowess and an oriflamine of war.
Th3 report says that our gallant sol
diers have actually secured live
scalps (taken from dead and wound
ed Indians found iu the abandoned
lava beds) and that oar people have
only lost one scalp. We read with
n "voluntary sense 01 regret mat
the Indians wore unsuccessful in ob
taining the scalps of the reporters
for the New York Herald and the
San Francisco Chrrmi te. If the in
flammatory and tfisenrsive blather
skites who represent the sensational
press could only be obliterated in
tato, we might rejice over the abate
ment of a nuisance which turns im
portant dispatches into ridicileand
leave ns the daily task of blowing
aside a vast van of vapid bosh be
fore we can come to the actual grains
of truth concerning the operations
against the Indians. We could al
most forgive the Modocs all their
treachery and cruelty if they would
scalp the pestilential Bohemians of
the Lava Beds.
TTAH JUDGESHIP
CHASE.
PUR.
Of the bruited matter of the bar
gain and sale of a Utah Judgeship
the Kmlo cment has this to Bay by
way of explanation ;
The Herald of yesterday idorn
ing. made an elaborate review i.f a
transaction said to have occurred be
tweeu O. F. Strickland and T. J
Drake, late United States District
Judges for Utah. The gist of the
whole transaction, as asserted, ut
vesting it of all expletives and mor
xliziiigM. is about this : Mr. Strick
land, having been a resident in Utah
desired to continue so ; but bail iu
enrred the wrath of the dominant el
ement of the population, and wished
an appointment from the General
Government, for protection. He
waa told by Attorney General Hoar
that it anv vacancy occurred in an
ofhee to his liking, he should be ap
pointed. Iniige Drake was in Wash
ington at the time, tie was incum
bent of the District Judgeship here,
but had manifested a reluctance to
return te hia duties on -account of
some nn pleasantness between hius
self and a portion of the community.
Strickland thought Drake would uot
return, aed proposed to him to
make him whole n the matter of
salary for the remainder of the no
expired term, if he would resign.
producing the ileired vacancy.
"Drake consented, wishing, as lie
oays, 'to change his place of icsi
deuce. Strickland was promptly
appointed, anil give Drake four
notes. $700 each, to cover u-hat was
forfeited by vacating the office. Now
Drake proenres the services of Geo.
C. Bates, Jsj , to bring suit on these
notes ; and writes a severe letter nuou
Strickland's conduct in not making
payment calls litui, amongst other
things, a rascal.
" This is a case, simplified from
our neighbor's col mans. Well, tak
ing all the facts to be as stated, what
is it?. If Strickland ia rascal,"
what shall be tbongbt of Drake?
Strickland bought no Judgeship, as
the title of the article indicates. He
did, it seems, bay a resignation, and
for the purpose, as it further seems,
of securing the protection of the
Government against persons hostile
toward him. This, and nothing
more. As to the propriety of tue
transaction, we hare nothing to say.
We do think that if we had been in
Mr. Strickland's place we would
rather have gone to some other sec
tion of country, than to have had
any sort of Imsiness transactions
with as bad a character as Mr. Irake
appears by his own admission. " i
The lute Peter Gilsey whose death
was the subject of a late telegraph
dispatch was a remarkable man ia
many respects. An obituary notice
of him in the New York World of a
late date says:
The appended account briefly sum -
marizes the leading incidents of Mr.
Gilsey's checkered career: He was
born in Hopo, Jutland, Denmark, on
the 22d of May, 18H. At the time
of his death he had nearly completed
his sixty-second year. At an earlv
age be was apprenticed to the piano
forte trade, and continued at tluit
business nntil he left Denmark. At
the age of twenty-six he left his na
tive country, and, arriving in New
York, he at once opened a little
cigar store in the Bowery, a little
south of the Bowery I heater, lie
was modcrntelv successful in his
store, but his first financial venture
of anv account was the leasing of the
corner of Cortlandt street and Broad
way. From this he alwavs dated the
beginning of bis prosperity. He
sold the lease at a considerable ad
vance, and with the proceeds em
barked in enterprises which left him I
at Ins decease the possessor of sat-
000,000.
Gbaftiso Wax. A grim old farm
er who thinks that a knowledge of
the component parts of grafting wax
is qnite as essential as any other sort
of knowledge to the young farmer,
gives the following recipe therefor :
One pound of tallow, three pounds
of beeswax, and four pounds of
resin ; pnt into a kettle and melt
sloly until all the ingredients are
combined. If it is to be used in the
open air in cool weather add a quar
ter to a half pound more of tallow.
California Cotton fob England.
The Buckley Brothers will ship
100 or more bales of cotton to Liv
erpool, being, as we believe, the first
consign men t of California-grown cot
ton. The first successful crop of
cotton raised in California was grown
on the Buckley Brothers farm in
1871. Although cotton had been
planted previous to this, it did not
prove successful, as several Tears had
elapsi-d and little or no Attention
paid to its culture until liil 1, and at
present it is not considered an ex
perimeut. With tLe increased acre
age this year. California will lie an
exporter instead of an importer.
Last rear the most of our woolen
mills Kot their supplies from the
East, being afraid to depend on Cal
ifornia. But with the large surplus
of last year's cotton on hand, they
will use California cotton as soon an
their old stock is worked np.
Dkventtd. Dr. P. Connolly, well
known as an old resident of Eureka, and
a practicing physician on this coast ior
many years, has of late become thor
