POPULAR ENCYCLOPEDIA AND UNIVERSAL DIcT1oN-
AIRY.
We have received from tho publisher,
Z. EL1wooD ZE1L. No. II and - South
Sixth street, Philadelphia, the initial mum
of THE POPULAR ENCYCLOPEDIA AND UNI
vERsA1 DICTIONARY.
The design of this work is to incorporate
into a compact and concise form the
vast information hitherto found il numer'
GUS books, such as Gazettes, Biographical
Dictionaries, Encyclopedias, Dictionaries.
It is proposed in this work to condense in
two large Royal Quarto Volumes the infor-
nation contained in the Gazettes, the Bio
graphical Dictionary, the Dictionaries OF
Law and Medicine, the Encyclopedias and
Dictionaries of Language all combined,
at a cost much below that of any Encyclo-
pedia heretofore published.
The scope of this work is so large that
there cannot be found either class or in
dividual to whom it will not be valuable.
To the Professional man and the Mechanic,
the Merchant and Farmer, the Professor and
Student, to all alike, this work will adapt
itself and be found of the greatest service.
The work will be issued in numbers of
eight pages, published weekly, each page
having three columns of solid type, judi
ciously illustrated with cuts explanatory OF
the text. II we may judge of the whole
by the initial number, it will be a most in
valuable work and must surely have place
in every library in the country. We call
the attention of our people, the officers of
our school and public libraries, and our
book sellers to this work.
Tho price, ten cents for each number,
brings it within the reach of all. Clubs
are supplied at reasonable deductions.

said that there was plenty more Dutch

many Germans there are in Germany who
want to 60 to America. and they want to
go to America to own land. Here land is
worth from 5000 to 50, 500 an acre. They
do not want to go there to cultivate cotton,
corn or tobacco F.; they want to cultivate
what they are accustomed to-vegetables
and grapes. Hundreds will come, if you
will pay them part in land, part in money.
The cost of their transportation will be
about forty dollars ahead, and they would
not expect more wages than you now pay
for the poor labor you hire !; but they must
have the assurance that their children will
be we'll off.

tee in common with all good citizens dep!ores the
lawlessness and violence and intimidation which are
disgracing our city and Suite. and tae civilization
and Christianity Of this age The Republican party
has sought and still seeks the peace and prosperity
of Louisiana and tn enforcement of the laws.
Believing there was danger of collision bstWeen
members of the two political parties this Com
mttee, about the first of this h, proposed that
the Republican party should abstain from all
parades and mass meetings until aftsr election
provided the Democratic party would do likewise.
1t also invited the Democratic Executive Com
mtee to select three days Of the week for the mass
meetings and parades of the Democratic party, the
Republican psrty to use the three remaining days of
the week. and neither party eneroaoh on the days
allotted to the other. Neither proposition was
accepted.
Not instance of conflict has come to he knowl.
edge of this committee in which a Republican club
hasibeen the aggressor No disiuterested man in
Louisiana believes or can be made to believe that
Republicans originate the disturbances in whoa
Republicans are almost the only victims. Only the
headquarters Of Republican clubs and Republican
residences. school houses and churches are sacked
by lawless rnobs.
On the contrary, the evident object of the Demo.
crat party has been to produce state of lawless
ness and intimidation which would deter Republi-
from voting, and thus prevent the coming cleo.
ton from being full expression of the will Of the
peop'e.
BY outrages, assassinations and 'np der nat
party has inAugurated reign Of terror il early
every parish of this State In many parishe.. and
perhaps in this city, it will be exposure to outrage
and slaughter for Republicans to attempt to vote
But it should be remembered that the Republican
party loose many votes and still triumphantly
carry the State. This Committee is satisfied that
with peaceable and fair election our majority
would be more than twenty thousand.
Therefore it calls upon all Republicans to do their
duty manfuly. 1t urges them not to be intim-
idated; not to yield to threats ovioence but to go
peaoeably to the polls election day and vote as
their conscienoes shall dictate. The time is very
near when present wrongs will be righted, and the
civil again be enforced in Louisiana, and when
the gui ty will be punished.
If violence shall be used to prevent Republicans
from voting as they choose let the facts be imme-
diately and carefully reported to this committee.
