grand mass meeting of the Republican
party was called at the courthouse, yester-
day, the twenty-eighth instant, for the pur-
pose of hearing Mr.. c. H. Hughes, of New
Orleans, upon the present and future duties
of the colorcd man to his party and princi-
pies. The meeting was unusually large and
orderly, and for one hour and a half Mr..
Hughes was listened to with the utmost
respect and attention. The meeting was
organized by calling Mr.. Robert Taylor,
president, to the chair, when Messrs. Charles
Williams. Leet Jones, Robert Emily, and
Robert Williams, as vice-presidents, and
Augustus Piper, secretary. The meeting
was opened by prayer from Reverend DR..
Harris. There is no doubt butthe remarks
of the speaker will prove fruitful of reward.
He counseled industry upon the part of the
enfranchised, advised them to be quiet, dig
nifed, and polite to all whether black or
white impressed upon them the necessity
of supporting their Republican friends,
reviewed to a slight degree the past suffer-
ings of the race, and the bright future be-
fore them, if they were only true to them
selves, their friends, and the country.
He was listened to with breathless atten-
ton. quite a number of the new disfran-
chised were present, and though it must
have been wormwood to them, they mani
tested no outward objection.
Everything passed off pesceably, which
must be a source Of congratulation to all
true lovers of the country as it is the adj
vent of new era in our parish. Let us
hope that this state of passive acceptance Of
the reconstruction policy may be continued
in the future by the enemies of the bill.
There is no doubt bnt this parish will go by
a strong majority for the Republican ticket.
The Republicans are organizing In earnest.

TREATMENT OF UNION PRISONERS.

The committee on the treatment of prison
ers of war and union citizens, have issued
circular from Washington, under date of
July II, earnestly requesting all persons in
possession of important information upon
either of these subjects to address the COM
mittee, giving:
l. The name, age and post office address
of the writer.
H. If soldier or seaman, his rank or
position, and with what command he served.
III. A full statement of all facts known
to the writer touching his Imprisonment or
treatment, and that of others, either soldier
or citizen, giving, as far as possible, names,
places and dates, with names of confederate
officers in charge.
Correspondents from Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, will address,
"Abner C. Harding, NJ. c., Monmouth, Illi-
nois.'
1t is the intention of the committee TO col
lect all facts necessary to make thorough
official history of the manner federal soldiers
were treated BY the rebel authorities, but not
a word as to the manner rebel soldiers were
treated by federal authorities. That wouldn' t
do at all. 1t would expose the shameful
crimes of Lincoln, Stanton and others, who
let the SHOWS in blue rot and die in rebel
prisons when they could have exchanged ev-
ery one of them, aud saved many lives.

h 18th the Hon. s. S. Marshall, then judge of

meeting, some of the boys raised the stars
and stripes over the court house. Shortly
after this Logan came out of one of the ho-
tells, in company with the late Chester Car
penter, and seeing the flag waving over the
court house, asked, with an OATH what it
meant? Upon being informed, he CON-
menced in the most vehement manner, to
denounce the war and Judge Marshall, ad-
ding that 'he would not speak under that

Criminal Record at the Nsrth.

/ The Boston orator ON the 4th said of the
south: Everywhere is chaos, sociei anarchy,
while our ears are every moment greeted
with the roar of some bfigand mob, or the
cry of some halfmurdered man or outraged
woman. While the orator was derouncing
the south for its murders, mobs and other
outrages, more crimes were committed in
Boston and its vicinity than on any other
equal space, probably, in the Union. A
young woman was murdered in Purcilian
street-another in Cambridge street-a mob
occurred in Kneeland street and q man was
shot "a young man returning to his home
in'West Roxbury, with his sisters, was muir
dered-a man in CASTLE street was fired up
on by officers, and an attempt was made to
rob Trainers Hotel; these were among the
incidents, of the 4th, to say nothing of the
lesser outrages, or the designt to Kill hundreds
by placing obstacles upon the Western rail-
road track. If any equal territory of the south
can present criminal record exceeding this,
the reverend orator had better volunteer to
go there as a missionary of civilization,
leaving his flocksto theiriown care.-Boston

TESTIMONY THAT WAS NOT LOOKED FOR

On the 18th ult., when the house of rep
resentatives was debating the explanatory
reconstruction bill, Gen. Butler was in favor
of devoting much care to the preparation of
the new bill. The reason he assigned is
worth noting. He said:
"The last bill was passed so hastily that the
Attorney General discovered great omissions in
it, and in the judgment of some Of the best law
yers of the country the attorney was right in his
opinion"
There is refreshing novelty in Butler
expressing the opinion that the judgment OF
any lawyer is worth anything in conflict
with the views of radical general in the
army. The case must be a very strong one
indeed, whenever Butler admits in the face
of his party that the President and attorney
general was right in matters for which the
whole radical press in the country have been
bowling at them for weeks.
