WHEREAS, This violent and Illegal
action of II. O. WarmOth has so far
intimidated and embarrassed the gen.
eral assembly that quorum Of the
house cannot be obtained, and the ne
cessary reforms demanded by the peO-
pie have thus far been defeated, and
the business of the community OBJ
structed, and the public peace threat
ened and disturbed, and the Rspubli-
can form OF government practically
and substantially destroyed; and,
Whereas, There Is no solution
of the difficulties nor an averture of
the dangers threatened by the usurpa-
ton and revolutionary violence of
said 81. @. Warmpth, except as an as
sertion of the legislative department
of the government, through its prop
er officers, Of Its independence and
rights thereat, In accordance with the
constitution and laws of the State OF
Louisiana, and of the instructions of
the house Of representatives. Ap-
proved by sixteen members of the
senate of said State of Louisiana.

notify all members of the house that
no violence or indignity will be in

fully requested for the time being to
close their places of business and to

Mechanics Institute, as this measure
is legal In its character, and as a
last resort, is taken for the
protection OF the public rights and
the preservation Of q republican
form of government in the State of
Louisiana. The question before our
people is no longer simple one of
reform, but a grave issue Is pre-

the governor, and that Is whether
they will quietly permit him to SUBJ
