THE REVIVAL OF OUR COMMERCE. ALbANy, April 19, 1873. , Charles Francis Adams, the orator of the Seward memorial, which took place in this city yesterday, Jeft Albany this morning by the ten minutes to ten o'clock train of the Boston and Albany Railread, in company with his son, Mr. Brookes Adams, and travelled on his return to the ‘Hub’ in the special ‘Wagner drawing reom car ‘‘Massasoit,"’ which the Joint Legislative Committee had used to escort him to this “‘aynciente borough.” Senator Perry and other gentlemen ef the Legisla- ture that a delegation should accompany the dis- tinguished diplomatist on his way, but Mr. Adams declined the offer, as he thought it was a needless Governor Dix and Mr. Pierson, of the Assembly, accompanied Mr, Aaams to the depot and bade him farewell. En route to Boston there were present Senators C. H. Adams, Heary ©, Murphy, Wiiliam Jonson, William B. Woodia, Licutenant-Governer Robin- son and Hon. W. S. Clapp, Chairman of the Assem- These were all that could possibly be spared, as the charter was in the order of busi- ness for Wednesday in the House, and the remain- der of the House Committee coacluded to remain for the legislation and MEET MR, ADAMS on Thursday at Pittsfield, Mass., returning thence Senator Perry, of the com- mittee, remained in Albany to perfect the arrange- ment for the memorial services, and the admirable manner in which he discharged his duties needs no for it was the subject of con- tinuous and repeated congratulation yesterday The committee was well prepared to make matters comfortable for its distinguished guest and converted the drawing room car into a travelling hotel, with Charles E. Leland, of the Delavan, as caterer, assisted by the everlasting and irrepressible Mr. Joseph Owens, the champion ble champagne and salad slinger of {he State. “Joe is one of the institutions of the Delavan and of the Legislature and has seen mere thou- sands of dollars change hands in “chips” fingered by our lawmakers than most other men of his com- plexion, height and weight. thing fearful if Joe should ever make up his mind , to write a book giving his actual experience while attending to the little comforts of evening parties years in Albany. He has learned one thing very observations, he says that “in a geod game of poker four faces will beat the world, and five aces wen’t beat nothin’. The trip to and from Boston was devoid of apecial incident, but was interesting, from tne fact that it was thoroughly enjoyable trom first to last. Few of the members of the committee had ever seen Mr. Adams before, bat all contributed to make the occasion as pleasant to their guest as possible, and the time was spentin iriendly con- vVersation and social intercourse. intervals on the return to Albany Senator Charles H. Adams, of this ceunty, took the opportunity to intreduce me as a representative of the press to MR. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, and the result was a conversation which will joubtless prove extremely interesting to the readers of the HERALD. Mr. Adams 1s a well-preserved gentleman of, -two or sixty-three years of @ clear, healthy complexion and hair blea to whiteness, He has clear, bright blue eyes, 1s somewhat below the medium height, has a large mouth, indicative of great firmness in the expres. sion of the lips, and wears a narrow fringe of whiskers about his face. ner he is easy, sel!.possessed, courteous, but al- ways dignified, and inclines rather to the type of an English nebieman than of a republican states- Reflecting, after a few minutes’ conversa- tion upon ordinary affairs, that Mr. Adams had heid the lofty position of arbitrator of the United States before the Geneva Conference, it occurred te me that I had in my travelling bag a copy Saturday Review, containing an article upon the debate in the House of Commons on THE ‘NEW RULES” in the Alabama claims case, and | asked Mr. Adams it he had seen the article in question. ‘Let me see, that was in the last I have read also the jouse of Commons on the same sub- ject from an English paper.

It is the United States that will affect her interests most se- riously, if they are ever to be affected in that way. There 18 scarcely any Power in Kurope that could send out privateers in such numbers as lo work serious detriment to her; but the United States could do very 8 serious injury to her commerce, and do it very suddenly. “Do you not think it wise of the United States to give an unqualified adhesion to the ‘new rules,’ Mr, Adams?” I inquired. “Oh, yes; I thiak their acceptance by the Un.ted States ‘the best course, undoubtedly. In the event of OURSELVES BECOMING EMDROILED in war we should find the rules immensely to our advantage, though, of course, as our commerce is at present limited, we run no such risk as that to which England is exposed, England has the best ol reasons for the anxiety she displays io reter- ence to this matter, although I think it prac. tically ends between England and the United States. If these two nations are agrecd neither meed experience much appreheasion regarding other governments; and, in any event, I think all the other Powers will signify their adhesion to the conditions, but perhaps not by having them submitted ta any arbitrary way.

That, in my jodigoay awakened her tnost serious alarm, and one of the chief causes of the oc mae sie displays at present on the sub- ject.” “Do you not think, Mr. Adams," T asked, “that thetr mutual acceptance by the United States would be commendatory policy, with a view to the restoration of our own jost commerce *” “think ic would be prudential, to say the least, on that score; for [ do not suppose that our com- merece ia to remain always in its present centracted condition; and, whenever it is fully revived, THE OPERATION OF THE RULES will be quite as much to our advantage as to that of England, ifnot more. The chances are always more in favor ot Great Britain being engaged in war than ourselves,”” i “What do you think of the immediate prospects of a revival of our commerce?” | inquired. “1 cannot say that I see any immediate prospects of its revival,’’ rejoined Mr. Adams, “altheugh the present scarcity of labor and the advanced cost of coal im England will, in all probability, be some- what to our advantage in that respect, as tending to enable us to compete in some degree more actively with her."” I next alluded to the Modoc question, and re- marked to Mr, Adams that the murder of General Canby and Dr, Thomas was a very sad termination cae efforts made to bring about a better state of affairs. “It was a very sad affair, indeed,’ replied the di- plomatist, ‘but it was not so great a surprise as it was shocking. The lact is, 1 have always looked upon OUR MANAGEMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS as very unfortunate, The system is very culpable. But what I consider most serious and as having the greatest effect fer the future is the trouble in the South. This fighting im Louisiana, in Grant parish, is something to be viewed, not enly with the deepest regret, but with alarm also. Of course, you will net understand me as alluding to this mere isolated encounter, but to the system of things that has made such work pean. ii not necessary, and which seems either unable dr unwilling to exert itself to evoke a better political and social system and to establish it firmly, The management ef the whole business has been ex- tremely unfertunate, THE WHOLE POLICY HAS BREN WRONG. 1 always rested my faith for the healthy restora- tien of the energies of the South upon Mr. Sew- ard’s policy, and I still think it was the best. The whele groundwork of the present plan seems to have no other pessible logical effect than to create and foster sectional and hereditary animosities. It has been a great mistake te elevate the negro to the full estate of citizenship so rapidly, It should be done, but by degrees only, as he became fitted to appreciate and enjoy the pre- regatives with which he becomes invested. It sheald have been the work of a generation or two, not ofa year, and then he would have been qualified by educatien and an appreciation of his self-dependence and responsibility to maintain his citizenship. As he now stands in the Southern States, he has not learned the proper use and meaning of his franchise, and exercises, it not upon reflection, but upon virtual dictation. He has been rewarded with the suifrage, so that a party or a clique might reap the benefit of the instrument placed in his hands, Almost everything that could be done has been done, at the same time, to depress the best element at the South, If real sound res- toration is to come, it must be.ina great measure be wrought threugh = THE OLD MASTERS, the wealthy and educated people of the South. As things new exist, one class holds all the land, the other holds all the laber; each is impoverished and embarrassed without the co-operatien of the other, and yet,instead of co-operating, we find them subject to asystem of local rule which arrays them at bitter variance, The South has always yielded more than its real proportien of the best minds the country has produced, but it avails nothing now. it is Kept down in order to enable the present political masters to wield ignorance for their owa aggrandizement."’ “fo what particular cause or causes do you attri- bute the peculiar violence of pelitical agitation in Louisiana ?. It seems not a littie strange that this articular State should beceme excited to the ighting point se trequently in consequence of her political dissensions.”” “Well, Lcan hardly say what induces such pecu- Nar outbreaks in that State. All the Southern States seem te have their grievances, but Louis- janians seem certainly to COME TO BLOWS OFTENEST. Icould not express my opinion on that question without some knowledge of the local influences and surroundings of these party embreilments, I believe her fighting propensity is stimulated chiefly by local evils surrounding and bearing upon the great questions,” “Do you believe, Mr. Adams, that the presence of a relative of the President in office in Louisiana is calculated to have a good effect among the peoplo situated as the people of that State are situated, and considering that the President himself held during the war such a pecaliar position in arms as that of their conqueror ?”” . Mr. Adams laughed as he replied, “Well, my opinion is that a President should not put bis rela- tives into offices anywhere. People naturally look upon such appointments with a degree of distrust, and I think an Executive who considers his own interests fully would refrain from doing it. THE RELATIVES OF ANY MAN in high position, are, naturally enough, supposed to have some influence, great or little, upon his judg- ment, and wherever they hold positions they are more likely to be made the medium of improper approaches to their more powerful relative than they could be if they were not so baghdad into contact with the field of hag def bo iticians. As to whether the presence in Louisiana, in an official capacity, of a relative ef the President has provoked a more violent sentiment agaimst the administration party I am not in a position to venture an opinion. A lecal knowledge of the situation down there weuld be necessary to deter- mine that question.” ‘This substantially closed the interview, so far as it bore upon public questions, and the remainder of the conversation was devoted mainly to a dis- cussion of the weather, the local scenery and the relation of anecdetes and reminiscences. An hour later the remainder of the Legislative Committee of escort met the train at Pittsfleld, and there were too many persons present who desired oppor- tunities of intercourse with Mr. Adams to enable any one of them to monopolize his attention for any length of time. SHAMEFUL TREATNENT OF THE ARMY. | The Days of Shoddy Not Over—Knap- sacks and Haversacks of Shoddy Issued to the Troops. Oman, Neb., April 16, 1873, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— I take the liberty of presenting the following re- marks, for which you will perhaps find room in the columns of your searching and patriotic journal, viz. — First—Congress, having raised the pay of the President, their own and that of others, signally fails in their army appropriations to meet the well- earned claims of their oftentimes distracted soldiers, an order having been now issued in the Department of the Platte, and also, I suppose, in other departments, stopping, by reason ef a de- ficiency of funds, the extra duty pay of soldiers employed, in lieu of citizens, in the Quarter- master’s Department, a3 laborers and mechanics, and placing them on “daily duty,” under which heading they are not held eititied to extra pay for extra services rendered. —A few days ago the HERALD very prep- erly referred to the large expenditures to be in- curred this Pd for outfits, &c., fer military es- corts for the Northern Pacific Railroad expedition, in connection with which | would remark that the new knapsacks issued to the troops on the occasion of their petiicipating in the Yellowstone expedi- tion of 1872, together with those just issued for this year’s campaign, have proved of #0 shoddy a charac- ter as to need immediate tying with pieces of rope to prevent their falling to pieces, while the haversacks, also new, have proved worthless, the whole of these articles being ft te be condemned at once alter having been issued to the men—the government having paid high prices fer rotten supplies, while the worried soldier is at his wits’ end to know how to keep his seant supply of bard bread dry and clean, and his few articles of clothing together. Third—While somewhere about thirty million pounds of beef on the hoof and other articles of the best in proportion was the estimate of supplies for 1872, and is for 1873, for savage Indians (who, by the way, one would suppose from the tenor of some remarks in the Presidential message to the Forty-second Congress, were all going to Quaker Sunday scheols), the troops who participated in the last Yellowstone expedition safiered, by reason of a, suficiency of food ee | been im roperly withheld from them during the whole journey, which occupied over three months, 80 much from hunger as to insure to them painful recollections of the same during the rest of their lives, and most painful apprehensions tn connection with the Northern Pacihe Ratlroad expedition ornecies to start at an early day.

We publish below the official report of these oMcers to the Adjutant General oi the State:— HRADQUARTERS Frust Diviston, * LOUISIANA STATE NATIONAL GUAKD, NEW ORLEANS, April 17, 187% Brigadier General HENRY STREET, Adjutant Gen- eral :— GENERAL—In obedience to special order Ni current series, Adjutant General's office, the un- dersigned oMcers left New Oricans on Saturday, Apri! 12, to proceed to Coliax, Grant parish. ve reached Pineville, opposite Alexandria, at about half-past nine o’clock on Monday, the 14th instant, where we were informed that a severe ac- tion had taken place at Colfax the day be ore (Sun- a vhs that from one hundred and filly tv two bun- dred colored men had been killed; that two white men, named Hadnot and Harris, were wounded, the former mortally, and that Coifax, or part of it, bad been burned, Upon crossing the river to Alexandria we be- came convinced of the existence of a violent, though suppressed, popular excitement. Numbers of men from the parish of Kapides had participated in the struggle, and were now returning to Alex- anuria. Parish officials expressed themselves as epmrenenese of an outbreak in Alexandria, directed against the colored men and the ofiiciais holding office under the administration of Gover- nor Kellogg. We were urged to procure the pre- sence of troops as speedily as possible. Attempts had been made to induce Mr. De L: the Sherif of Rapides, to go to Grant parish, and failing, the person claiming fo have been elected Sheriff on the Fusion ticket accompanied the party that wont from Alexandria. We leit Alexandria at about helf-past eleven A. M. During our stay there mounted mmen were con- stantly crossing the river, coming from the dirc tion of Colfax, and just as we left a party of twenty, mounted, and armed apparently with shotguns, crossed the river in a body, Believing that Colfax was destroyed, and as we could not reach there beiore dark, on our arrival at Cotile we deemed it expedient to remain there for the night, Everything in this vicinity appeared periectly quiet and peaceful. Having secured an ambulance, we crossed the river into Grant parish early on the merniug of ‘Tuesday, the 15th instant, and started for Ceifax, distant about fifteen miles. We found the parish in @ most deplorabie state. The erops are being neglected, many of the residents, both white aud colored, have leit their homes, and a general sense of insecurity prevails, which, we are satisfied, can only be removed by the presence of troops, About one-taird of a mile below the Court House we came upon a party of colored men and women carrying away a wounded colored man upon a sled. Ata little distance in the field were the dead bodies of two colored men. About two hundred Mer ps nearer the Court House were three dead odies* of colored men, and from that point to the Court House and its vicinit, the ground was thickly strewn with dead. We were unable to find the body of @ single white man er to ascertain the loss of the whites. Colored women assert that two wagon loads of whites, dead and wounded, were carried away, but tt is persistently denied by any of the whites claiming to have knowledge of the actual loss, they asserting that but one man on their side was killed, and Hadnot and Harris were wounded. We may state here that Hadnot has since died in Alexandria. We send herewith a plan of the Court House and its defences. A space of about two nundrea yards square was inclosed in a slight earthwork, with ditch inside. ‘This ditch was trom ten to eighteen inches 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-haif ineh planking. On the lower side of the Court House, the greater portion of the breastwork was composed ol plank- | alone, laid in zigzags and without ditch. From what information we could get, we believe that the fight commenced on Sunday, the 15th instant, between ten and eleven A. M., and con- tinued until nearly dark. Of the numbers engaged on either side itis impossible for us to form any definite idea, though we are satisfied that the wey? holding the Court House were less in num- er than their assailants. It 1s asserted by the colored people that the assailants consisted of parties from the parishes of Winn, Rapides, Natclu- toches, Catahoula and Caddo, in addition to those from Grant; but they were either unable or un- willing to give ws the names of any parties par- ticipating in the attack. This information, how- ever, will doubtless be obtained hereatter. All statements that we have heard agree sub- stantially in the main particulars. It is agreed that tl tacking party was commanded by C. C. Nash, and the assailed by a man named Lev, Alien; that a surrender was demanded and refused; that the besieged were given thirty minutes to remove their women and children, and that at the expira- tion of that time the fight was commenced by the assailing party. The attacking party had in their possession a small cangon, taken from the steamboat John T. Meore, from which they fired bolts, a sample of which we depost in your office. The besieged had rigged up a couple of guns by fastening lengths of gaspipe on rafter timbers, blocking up one end with a pine plug and drilling a touchhole, One ef these was bursted while trying 1t, some days before the fight, and the other has not the appearance of having been used. Some time during the afternoon the besieged were drawn from the tield and from their breast- works into the Court House. One end of this build- ing was without windows, nor had the besieged prepared loepholes. A colored man named Isaiah Atkins informed us that Mr. Nash had forced a colored man called Pink to come to this end of the building and hold a pine torch to the edge of the roof until it caught fire. It is our opinion that few of the colored men had been killed up to this time, but that when forced by the fire to leave the Court House they were shot down without mercy. The position and condition of many of the bodies go far to prove this. Under the warehouse, between the Court House and the river, were the dead bodies of six colored men who haa evidently crept under for concealment, and were there shot like dogs. Many were shot in the back of the head and neck. One man still lay with his hands clasped in supplica- tion. The face of another was completely flattened by blows from a gun, the broken stock of a double barreiled shot gun being on the ground near him; another had been cut across the stomach with a knife after being shot, and almost all had from three to a dozen wounds. Many of them had their brains literally blewn out. It is asserted by the colored people that after the fight thirty-four prisoners, who were taken before the burning of the Court House, were taken to the river bank, two by tivo, executed and hurled in the river. We caused to be buried in the ditch near the ruins of the Ceurt House the remains of filty-four col- ored 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 iriends for interment else- where. e saw, also, twelve wounded colored men, two ef whom will certainly die, and others of whem are very unlikely to recover. We are informed that since the fight parties of men have been scouring the country surrounding Colfax, taking the mules and other property of the colored people. ® Since writing the above report we have seen on board the steamboat the colored man, Lev. Allen, who commanded the party holding the Court House. He assures us that not @ single man was killed or wounded until after their surrender, and that then they were shot down without mercy. We will obtain his sworn statement hereafter. On our return to Alexandria yesterday we were again implored by citizens to have troops sent there at once, as the only means of averting a dis- turbance. Very respectiully, 'T. W.
