in the Communications.
A Card from the Vice President of the
Seventh Ward Club.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The Citizens Guard of the fifteenth in
slant, in AL article headed president of the
Seventh Ward Radical Republican Club"
charges me with having issued a call for an
election, ETC.. under orders of Administrator
Cockrem.
Allow me, through your columns, to state
for the information of the public, that this
assertion is without foundation, and only
could have originated in the workings of a
vivid imagination, rendered extremely ac-
tive by past practlces. The action taken by
me was based ON the principle of fair play,
the custom of the club and its constitution,
and with the desire that the people should
have the right to speak.
The ex-president's modesty, if nothing
else, should have restrained him from as
Stunning the right to appoint the judges of
the election, who were to decide whether
he should be the incumbent for the next
six months or not, especially as that princi-
pie was so strongly condemned by the late
press(ed) convention, of which he was a
member. 'r
l wish, further, to state that the assertion
relative to Mr.. Blanchard is in the same
category as the aforementioned statement
in regard to Administrator Cockrem.
The remainder of the Guards windy as
sertions will be answered before the repre-
sentatives of the people in convention as
sembled.

A SCRUB FIGHT SPoILED.-Early yester-
day morning Captains Schrieber and Cain
took a pleasant trip to Metairie Ridge, hav-
ing heard that two muscular men intended
settling an important question, which of
the two was the most brutal according to
the rules laid down in the prize rings. A
large number of admirers of the bruisers
visited the scene to witness the battering,
but their desires were not gratified because
policemen appeared too soon. When the
cry of ''peelers," was raised general STAN
pede took place, preventing the arrest of
many men. One of the captured, when at
the ridge end of the canal, attempted to
escape. In doing So he ran in front of
moving Car, and was caught under wheel,
which crushed his foot badly. His name is
G. Monaghan, from Ohio. The car driver
was not in fault for the accident.
