to desist. I told them that if they con

This man Ward, without the consent of
he people, declared himself elected to ihe
bayonet Legislature from the parish of
Gi ant, and,, on. the supposed grounds of a
ballot-box having been broken open, he
was seated and after the session of that
Legislature was over he returned to Grant
parish,, declaring himself, as it were, a
ditatjnrr aud assu.zed the authority of
putting out of office thoe gentlemen who
then had h'gal possession. Ward demand-
d that Sheriff . N:ih wonld deliver the
conrtfhouse to his charge, which demand
Mr. Kash refused tojcompjy with. Wheic
upon Ward broke: op-n ths building, and
then took possession, and dared Mr. Nash
to proclaim himself sheriff of that parish.
The iwhile people wjko held oifice then
gave jup to the negro rule, without any n
other resistance.
It was at this time, after Ward had
taken possession of the court-house, that

him, stating to them that his life was in
danger, it having been threatened by Mr.

A WAR OF RA' ES IN LOUISIANA
THE 13 LOO D Y A FFAIR AT CC L
FAX. ; I
The war of factions under which .ifor
six tunnlliA, L uisi;io t has been suffering
ill the pe llsif not, all the evils, of auarcr.y
ut last take that inost dau'erons sh tne
to the blocks of :a war of races. The
bloody affair: at the little hamlet of Colfjix
n the parish; of Grant, near Alexaudrig,
on the R'-d River, from the details which
we publi.-hed 'yesterday, was cleaily 9
conflict nit between the Kellogg faction
an.l the Warmelh faction, but betweeit
the whites aiid blacks a conflict of tht-
two races, jail olhor lines of distinction be-
ing merged ;iu the distinction of color.'
The quaird'grew out of the political com
plications jof the State, but in this bloody
aflair at Colfax it-was, by the stupidity of
the negroes,! re duced to a question of the
local ascendancy of the white or the
lacks. j
It anyehra that Grant parish or county
was recently f.rn.ed out of a part of the
arge parish of Rapides 011 the Ked Ktver
above Alexandria, and that, whdu the
new paiisli or county was named in hon
or of President Grant, its county seat, a
small hamlet, wa named after the, then
Vice President, Colfax Grant and Col-
ax. beiog thus associated wiih the crea
tion of thd new parish. Nex it appears
that, by accident ignorance, neglect or
design somen litre, the returns 01 the last
tlfclion for this new paush were not of-
fically reported, and that, in the absenee
of any official returns both sets- of the lo
cal candidates concerned claimed to be
elected ; that they both appealed at length
to Governor jKellngg at New Orleans hr
ill .1 .1 .
a decision, ann inai lie aavises iue con
testing phi-lies to settle tin; controversy
among themselves. The fusionists or anti-
kejlogg faction were thn in possession
of t he county offices. Roth factions, tm
appolnted, returned to New Oilcans iu
anything ,bu$ a condition t:r a compro
mise; and, S (o make short woik ot tho
matter, some two jvecks ago a negro 1 y
