the least observant it was noticeable that he
must have devoted q fair share of time in
perfectfng him in the character. To our
understanding the moat finished and self
possessed actor in the piece was the gentle
man who personated Able Latour, Mr.. G.
H. B., whose powers of orstory are some
times heard in Senate halls. We have
seen professionals represent Able and then
considered the character secondary one,
or at least one of no especial interest after
Landry but Mir. BIS PRESERVATION raised
" Latourn into fine subject, and made him
what the author intended him TO be. He
eXcelled in his part, but still we can not
say that star actor was spoiled when he

LIBERTY GUARDS, A MEETING LAST NIGHT.
An evening paper of yesterday announced
there would be meeting of the Lii,rty
Guards, formed under the protection of
Fossil Guards, at Freret Press. The colored
people were especially invited to attend, but
they either failed to read the notice or they
Indignantly ignored the invitation, mas

seen in the vicinity. There was also very
poor attendance of the white element prob
ably not more than fifty, and most of those
had the appearance of being poor laborers
or draymen. 1t was consumptive affair,
and one well calculated to make Repub.
licans quake with Apprehension for the loss
of two colored votes, and perhaps three.
