furnishes to US the following report:
The Parish Committee of the regular Re
publican party met last night pursuant to
adjournment, Hon. H. {. Dlbble, IN the
chair.
Twenty-three delegates answered the roll
call, and the reading of the minutes 0f the

Mr.. Patrick Creagh moved that they lie
over until the next meeting, rUmOr hav-
ing been circulated that the members of
the committee, who as delegates had alb
scented themselves on the thirteenth instant
from the regular Republican convention, on
the decision Of the vote tabling a resOlu-
ton indorsing Greeley and Brown, and the
nominees of the Liberal convention lately
assembled in this city, were to be expelled.
No such assertions having been made or
entertained by the committee, a lively de-
bate ensued upon the suspension Of action.
Mr.. p H. Boyle remarked that such
rumOr was current; he was an interested
party with those who had departed from the
conventions but, that, instead of resigning,
he had the moral courage to attend the
meeting and note the result The majority
conceiviDg that the gentlemen rendering
their designations certainly had the privi-
lege Of resigning, and were not debarred
from being present to explain the cause of
their action, it was thenmOved and adopted
that their designations be accepted; the
chairman authorized to appoint temporary
substitutes, and the secretary instructed to
communicate with their respective clubs,
and request the vacancies to be filled by
election at once.
Mr. Joseph P. Murphy then offered the
following resolution, pending the reading Of
which Mr.. p. E. Bechtel was called to the
chair:

Parish Executive Committee of the regular
Republican party of the parish of Orleans
