Political Organization.

The recent movements in this city towards
political organization under the several titles OF
Conservative Union and Conservative Democrat
ic, have been, if not III full concert as regards ini-
tiatiye action without material conflict as regards
avowed political purpose. The unanimity, indeed,
on essential points, of all those who have Joined
in the political activity to which we allude, is
quite remarkable, and we trust will prove con-
stant 1t is pleasing to observe that the dlstnc-
tions which arose in the State organization of
1864 seem to be wholly discarded, and prominent
personages who were known as Radicals then,
and even more lately, are pressing to front ranks
OF the Conservatives.
But the most cheering sign in this connection
is not the course of professional politicians, but
the disposition manifested in few striking instan-
ces by the intelligent and solid mass of citizens
to develop from their own midst a platform on
which to work out the political destiny of the
State. We may cite as one of these instances
the meeting which took place on the 18th in the
Fifth Representative District. 1t was largely
attended, and in spirit as well as numbers was a
genuine demonstration of the people
It took the name of Conservative Democrat.
But names amount to little in the present unset
tied and precarious political situation. We can
conceive of only one Louisiana party-that which
claims for the people Of the State, within their
legitimate sphere, the control of its fortunes for
weal or for woe-Neso Orleans Bee.

EXTRAORDINARY MEETING.
THE FREEDMEN OPENING THEIR svrs

va GNiNu AhElk Ef Els.
According to the Mobile Advertiser, nine hun
dred negroes held meeting last Sunday evening
in the direction ofDog River, Alabama. After
long talk and careful deliberation, this meeting
resolved, by vote of seven hundred voices to two
hundred, that they had made practical trial for
three months OF the freedom which the war had
bequesthed to them-that its realities were far
from being so fattering as their imagination had
painted it-that they had discovered that the pre-
JUDGES of color were by no means confined to the
people OF the South; but on the contrary, that it
was stronger and more marked against them in
the strangers from the North than in the home
people OF the South, among whom they had been
reared; that negroes, no more than white men,
could live without work, or be comfortable with
out homes; that their Northern deliverers from
bondage had not as they had expected and been
taught to expect, undertaken to provide for their
happy existence in their new state of freedom
and that their old masters had ceased to take anv
interest in them or have a care for them; and.
finally that their last state was worse than their
hrst and it was their deliberate conclusion that
their true happiness and well-being required them
to return to the homes which they had abandoned
IN moment of excitement and 90 to work again
under their old masters. And SO the resolutions
Were passed, and at last accounts the wanderers
were packing up their little stock of movable
goods, preparatory to the execution of their sensi
Die purposes.-Neao Orleans Times, 18Th inst.

Gen Dick Taylor Again.-A Washington
letter writer gives the following account of the
interview between Gen. Dick Taylor and the
President:
He told the President that he had two favors
to ask: "To 60 to Liverpool, and to see my broth
er.n.law, Jefferson Davis" You shall have per-
mission to 60 if you wish, but do not want men
like you to leave the country" The President
said be would consider the request for an inter-
view with Mr.. Davis. He at once granted par
don to Gen. Taylor, and next day brought up
before the Cabinet the proposition to see Mr..
Davis.
No decision was arrived at, Secretary Stanton
getting into violent passion, and denouncing it.
He went back to his Office and instructed Gen.
Hancock to issue an order to prevent paroled
Confederate officers coming to Washington with
out his sanction. This was specially intended to
keep Gen. Taylor away, but the President wrote
to him that he was at libersy to go wherever he
