The news from Gen. Grant grows worse and
worse for the place hunters. Not only is he in
favor of the Civil Service bill, but he believes
that where an honest man is now doing honest
work in post which he is found capable of
filling, the mere fact OF his being in Office does
not offer primo fdcie reasons for turning him out.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE CENTRAL
SEYMOUR CLUB.

At meeting of the Central Seymour
Club of this parish. the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, In order to bring about the
more speedily, feelings of friendship be,
tween the white and black races in this
community. the Democratic party have
determined to invite all black men who
have opened their eyes to the dishonest
purposes of Radicalism, and who believe
that the white men among whom they
live are their truest and most useful
friends, to form themselves into clubs,
Whereas, from the wicked spirit in
which the Radical party is conducting
the present political contest, bad and
reckless men of said party may attempt
to do violence to the well-disposed and
b~rave-hearte1 black men who may join
themselves together for the purpose Of
assisting the white men in their efforts to
bring about good feelings between the
two races, therefore be it
