' 1 From the New York Herald. The War of Races in Louisiana. Official Report of the Fight at Colfax, in Grant Earish Ninety-four Ne groes Killed and Ticelve Wounded. The steamer B. L. Hodge, which arrived in New Orleans on the 17th of i April, took back to the city Colonel T. W. De Kly ne and Colonel William Wright, of General Long street's stalf, who had been sent on the Saturday previous to investi gate the troubles in Grant parish. We publish below the official re port of these officers to the Adjutant General of the State : Headquarters First Division Louisiana State National Guard, New Orleans. April 17, 1873. Brigadier General 1Ii:.ry Street, Adjutant General : i General In obedience to special order No. 22, current series, Adju tant General's ollice. the unders'srn- ed officers left New Orleans on Sat urday, April 12, to proceed to Col fax, Grant parish. e reached Pineville, opposite Alexandria, at about half-past nine o'clock orffcsMomlay, the 14th inst., where we were informed that a se vere action had taken place at Col fax the day before (bunuay): that from one hundred and fifty to two hundred colored men had been killed ; that two white men, named Hadnot and Harris, were wounded, the former mortally, and that Col fax, or part of it, had been burned. Upon crossing the river to Alex andria we became convinced of the existence of a violent, though sup pressed, popular excitement. Num bers of men from the parish of Rapides had participated in the struggle, and were now returning to Alexandria. Parish officials ex pressed themselves as apprehensive of an outbreak in Alexandria, di rected against the colored men and the officials holding office under the administration . of Governor. Kel logg. We were urged to procure i the presence of troops as speedil v as I possible. Attempts had been made to induce Mr. De Lacy, the Sheriff of Rapides, to go to Grant parish, of the Court House, were taken to the river bank, two by two, execut ed and hurled in the river. We caused to be buried in the ditch near the ruins of the Court House tho remains of fifty-four colored men, three of whom were so badly burned as to be unrecognizable. There were inside the Court House the charred bones of one other, and five bodies we gave to their friends for interment elsewhere. We saw, also, twelve wounded colored men, two of whom will certainly die, and others of whom are very unlikely to recover. We are informed that since the fight parties of mi-o have been scouring the country surrounding Colfax, taking tli mules and other property of the colored people. Since writing the above report we have seen on board the steam boat the colored man, Lev. Allen, who commanded the party holding the Court House. He assures us that not a single man was killed or wounded until after their surrender, and that then thev were shot down without mercy. We will obtain his sworn statement hereafter. On our return to Alexandria yes terday we were again implored by citizens to have troops sent there at once, as the only means of averting a disturbance. Very respectfully, T. W.

It is generally admitted, too, that Catawba county is favored with a healthv and de lightful climate, which is proven, by daily observation, in seeing so many of her people returning to her again, who have been seeking homes and fortunes in other climes. And they declare, that Catawba is the best county they have ever seen. This is most certainly true. For her people can point, and that proudly too, to the rich lands on the Cataw ba and South Fork Rivers ; and on Jacob's and Henry's Forks. To Clarkes' and Maclin creeks; and to the broad and fertile fields on Liles and Pottes Creeks, and to her up lands generally, which is equal in fertility of soil to any in Western N. C.

M. During our stay there mounted men were constantly crossing the river, coming from the direction of Colfax, and just as we left a party of twenty, mounted. and armed apparently with shot guns, crossed the river in a body. Relieving that Colfax was destroy ed, and as we could not reach there before dark, on our arrival at Cotile ve deemed it expedient to remain there for the night. Everything in this vicinity appeared perfectly quiet and peaceful. Having secured an ambulance, wo crossed the river into Grant parish early on the morning of Tuesday, tho 15th instant,, and started for Colfax, distant about fifteen miles. We found the parish in a ' most deplorable state. The crops are being neglected, many of the residents, both white and color ed, -have left their homes, and a general sense of insecurity prevails, which, we are satisfied, can only be removed by the presence of troops. About one-third of a ni!'o below Court House wo came upon a party of colored men and women carrying away a wour.d.ed colored man upon a s'ed. At a little dis tance in the field were the dead j bodies of two colored men. About two hundred yards nearer the Court House were three dead bodies of colored men, and from that point to the Court Houseand its vicinity the ground was thickly strewn , with tlead. We were unable to find the body of a single white man or to ascertain the ioss of the whites. Colored women assert that; two wagon loads of whites, dead and wounded, were carried away, but it is persistently denied by any of the whites claiming to have knowledge i ot the actual lo.ss, they as-erting j that but one man on their side was was killed, and Hadnot and Harris j were wounded. We may state here ! that Hadnot has since died in Alex andria. We send herewith a plan of the Court"-House and its defences. A space of about two hundred yards square was inclosed in a slight earthwork, with ditch inside. This ditch was from ten to eighteen in ches in depth and the breastwork in front of it from twenty to thirty inches in height, and was protected in front by two-and-a-half inch planking. On the lower side of the Court House, the irreater portion of the breastwork was com nosed of planking alone, laid in zigzags and without ditch. From what information w could get, we believe that the fight com menced on Sunday, the 13th instant, between ten and eleveu A. M., and continued until nearly dark. Of the numbers engaged on either side it is impossible for us to form any definite idea, though we are satisfied that the parties holding the Court House were less in number th:m their assailants. It is asserted by the colored people that the assail ants consisted of parties from the parishes of Winn, Rapides, Natch i- tocnes, Lataiioula ami Caddo, in ad dition to those from Grant ; but they were either unable or unwilling to give us the names of any parties participating in the attack. This information, however, will doubt less be obtained hereafter. All statements that we have heard agree substantially in the main par- neui.u.s. i is agreeu mat tne at tacking party was. commanded by C. C. Nash, and the assailed by a man named Lev. Allen ; that a sur render was demanded and refusal ; that the besieged were given thirty minutes to remove their women and children, and that at the expi ration of that timo the fight was commenced by the assailing party. The attacking party had in their possession a small cannon, taken from the steamboat John T. Moore, from which they fired bolts, a sample of which we deposit in vour uesiegeu nau rigged up a couple of guns by fastening lengths ofgaspipeon rafter timbers, block ing up one end with a pino plu" and drilling a touchhole. One of these was bursted while trying it, some days before the fight, and the omeraas not the appearance of naving been used. Some time during the afternoon the besieged were drawn from the held and from their breastwnrL- into tne uourt House It is most unfortunate for the country that the proceedings of the late Congress, in demonstrating the immeasurable corruption and hard ihood of the Republican party, did not at the same time demonstrate the honesty and conscientiousness of the Democratic party. These are the only two parties in the coun try, and, as matters now stand, one of them must rule. There is a larger element of dissatisfied and disaffected Republicans in the rul ing party now than, there was last summer ; indeed, the masses of that party may be said to be universally dissatisfied with it, but they are notd so deeply dissatisfied as to abancjpjr it jn favor of the only other party the Democratic members of the late Congress signally failed to prove that Democracy is the proper and legitimate alternative to Re publicanism, and that the Demo cratic fold is the proper refuge for discontented Republicans. The acts of the majority in the Fort v- second Congress were enough to break the power of a much stronger and more popular party than the Republican party of to-day. The Democratic minority did not possess that small degree "of virtu ous self-denial and endurance which sustains a pugilist through- his training ordeal. The pusrilist forces himself into a temporary life of sobriety, virtue and manly exercise to gain a traiwent victory over his antagonist in the prize ring. But the Democratic members of the late Congress were not capable of even the momentary display of self-denial that their position called for, and that the country was ready to ac cept at ten times more than it might have been worth. This demanded a contrast to the repul sively corrupt and unpatriotic con duct of the majority; but the mi nority were unable to furnish it. They were not even equal to the instinctive duty of taking advan tage of their opponents' faults: str. The Modoc War has degenerated infcr a game of hide and seek be tween the surviving members of Captain Jack's band and the artille ry, cavalry and infantry of the United States and the Indian aux iliaries. Our special despatch from the lava beds affords us no ground for believing that the exciting and somewhat ridiculous game is near its close. The last report states that the savages had retreated to Goose Lake : but we may hear to-morrow that they are firing away from Gan der Bluff. General Gillem was to have made "a quiet" attack on them yesterday ; but Jack, it seems, suspected that it was about time the army moved on his works, and withdrew to avoid a disturbance in his household. Under these cir cumstances it is comforting to be assured that more batteries of ar tillery are en route to the front. N. Y. Herald April 2Gth. DEATHS. especially Henry's Forks.

To the Members of the Bar of the Ath I Congressional District of Jb'orlh Caro- Una : 1 j Gentlemen: Many letters have been received asking information upon the i present status of the Bankrupt law, under recent unpublished amendments and Judicial decisions. For reply to these inquiries, I respectfully submit the following brief abstract of the law, as it now stands upon the subject of dis charge, exemptions, Ac., fcc. : i 1st. All debts contracted prior to January 1, 1869, and all security debts, and debts not proven in bankruptcy, which have been contracted since that date, are discharged without reference to assets. 2nd. On all debts contracted since Jan uary 1, 18C9, on which the bankrupt is liable as principal d btor, and which are actually proven against the estate, the assets in the hand of the assignee must equal 50 per cent., or the same propor tion in number and value of these cred itors must assent in writing to discharge. jd. Discharge wil be granted from debts mentioned in paragraph 1, without reierence to (.nose mentioned in para graph 2. (See Acts of July 27, 1SGS, and July 14, 1870.) 4th. There is exempt and set apart to the petitioner in bankruptcy, 1,000 of personal property, and real estate for a Homestead to the value of $1,000, in fee simple. Total exemptions $2,000. All of which property is free and clear from all debts contracted prior to bankruptcy, whether the same be evidenced by a note, or open account or Judgment ob tained, and execution issued and levied thereon, or otherwise. (See acts of June 8, 1872, and March 3d, 1873.) The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Georgia case, declaring the Homestead provis ions of tho Constitution of that State unconstitutional in so far as it relates to debts contracted prior to its adoption, has annihilated the Homestead and personal property exemptions in North Carolina, except through the bankrupt cy courts. In view of the demand which must follow the recent liberal amendments to the Bankrupt Act, and the decision of the Supreme Court destroying the Homestead under State laws, 1 have carefully prepared and had printed ruled and endorsed in very neat style, all the forms liable td bo used iub'afrk- rutcy by the officersiof the Court or the profession. They will be sold at $1.50 per duplicate set, and forwarded on re ceipt of price, by mail, pot paid, or by express a diiected.. To 'facilitate business and promote speedy discharges, it is .suggested that, tiie sum of 100, be deposited with the petition in bankruptcy, and when so done the Register is authorized and will guarantee that no further sum shall bo required of the petitioner in ordinary proceedings, and the deficiency found upon the taxation of costs will bo de ducted pro rata from the costs of tho several officers of court.

It is impossible to exaggerate the annoyance and disgust which must overtake the people of our country interested in the Vienna Expo sition at the scandal which has been disclosed in connection with the Commissioners representing the United States. Without underta king to define the nature or extent of the " irregularities" which have been discovered, the action of the State Department shows plainly enough what is its opinion of them. If they are grave enough to compel the suspension of the Commissioner and all his thirteen assistants, the country may well be intensely mor tified by them. It was of the last importance that our neoDle should maintain at Vienna a reputation of perfect honor. We already have burden enough to carry before the world in the acknowledged corruo- tion in politics, the judiciary, and in the speculative dealings of the country corruption which we are trying with considerable success to uproot. The developments of Vi enna will be a source of humiliation in spite of everything that can bo done to counteract their effect. Meanwhile, the State Department has done all in its power to retrieve the national reputation. N. Y. Times. , . New arrival of r Ciail.niEK.WS CABBIAGUi' i A large stock of .!
