The New Orleans papers contain re-
ports of a second unifcation meeting in
that city, on the 18th inst, composed of
both races, and reported to have been
largely attended. Resolutions were
adopted re-affirming the platform hith-
erto published. Hon. l. N. Marks pre-
sided over the meeting, and in his pre-
liminary remarks referred as follows to
its objects:
This is no ordinary occasion. This is no
political gathering, no outpour1ng OF the
adherents of a political party or the wor-
shippers or followers Of political leader,
but it is a quiet earnest, determined coun-
ell OF portion of the people of Louisiana,
coming together for the purpose of adopt
ing measures look Ig to the eXtrication of
our beloved people from the perils which
now surround them. [Applause.l We come
here to- might, hope and trust in God. to
lay upon the altar of our country all the
prejudices of the past, to recognize all citi-
zens of the United States as equals before
the law, and, as | trust, to unanimously
ratify the manifesto sent forth by COM
mittee of one hundred citizens OF Louisi-
ana, composed equally OF the two races.
Whether beneficial results will follow
the movement, remains to be seen. No
matter what the end may be, our conf
dence will not be impaired in the good
intentions and patriotism of Gen. Beau
regard and his associates, much less will
we feel ourselves justified in reproaching
them for doing what they have thought
best for their own community in the dire
extremity in which they have been placed.
1t is their affair, not ours. We have
seen too many men who, in the begin
ming of the Reconstruction agitation and
long afterwards, mounted themselves
upon stills and rode exceedingly high
horses, afterwards descend to the dust
and bow themselves very low for pelf or
place, to have any respect for the denun-
citation that has been dealt out SO law
ishly on the Louisianians.

Some practical suggestions on Immi-

to employ their time in getting up asso-
Citations of that description, unless they
intend to accompany them With practical
works as we'll as words. The argument
is presented in the communication of Mr..
Harrington. If the landowners and
others who are expressing an interest on
the subject of Immigration, really mean
it, they must prove their faith by their
works.

LORD GORDON.

A tort Garry dispatch Of the 15tt
says Gordon was overtaken about foul
hundred miles west, and was brough
in last evening. He is now in Jail
It is understood that he has been ar
rested on charge Of larceny, and no
brought back in the kidnapping bust
ness at all. He will probably be iu
dicted for larceny and perjury. HI
mag live to see the tables turned.
LATER.-Lord Gordon was arrained
yesterday on two counts Of forgery and
perjury. The charges were based up.
on the fact that on the 18th of las>
June he made a deposition before a
magistrate here, to the effect that Ger
tain parties had robbed him, and sub
scriocd to said disposition as Herbert
Charles Gordon, whereas he wss Cor
don Gordon. His counsel desired hin
not to plead in. order that time might
be secured to obtain gushing Of the
indictments. The Court allowed the
request. Gordon appears to be awfullJ
shattered. He could scarcely staat
without support While he stood in
the prisoners box, the Attorney Gen
eral was making some remarks, where
upon Gordon shouted, my Lord, tbt
Attorney General tried to get ter
thousand dollars out of me, and because
be failed l was locked up-the dammet

prosecution had exhausted al the evi.

him. He certainly had no recollection
of seeing Mrs. Benton in the Grand
Central Hotel on the day of his meet.
Ing with James Fisk. Jr. He was glad
to hear that his trial had been sci
down for Oct LIST. What he hoped
for was a speedy trial. The officials Of
the District Attorneys Office are much
chagriued at the notoriety given to the
arrest of Mrs. Benton, and blame the
police for making it public.

RAILROAD NEWS,
THE BRAlNERD BIZ ANCH TO BE
BUILT.

Advices from New York of the 18th,
bring the intelligence that negotiations
for some time in progress have been
oonsummated, whereby the Brainerd
branch line Of the St. Paul & Pacific
has been purchased from the Northern
Pacific Company by F. R. Delauo Of
St. Paul, who agrees to complete the
unfinished portion Of the road between
Watab and Brainerd, before December
LIST. Work will be commenced within
ten days, and completed before the
new year.
As the grading on the line is nearly
done and four miles of iron already
laid from Brainerd this way, We think
that there is no doubt but that the
completion OF the road will be accom-.
plished within the time required, and
that St. Cloud will then be in direct
communicatioa with the N. P. r. r.
aud intermediate points. It is also
stated that strong efforts are being
made to secure the extension of the St.
Vincent line to Alexandria this fall.
