The Louisiana Delegation.

From tae New York Times, August p
The delegation of colored gentlemen rep
rasentng the citizens and taxpayers of
Louisiana. whose arrival IN this city was
reported in the Times, called a. the custom
house Yesterday afternoon to see Collector
Arthur. and other prominent Republicans
anil officials, Informally, to obtain advice
and assistance ia the prosecution OF the en-
terprise which brought them North. The
committee consisted of General I. Morris
Chester Hon. j. Henri Burch, Hon. Alex
ander E Barber, and Hon. j II. Ingraham
S9ata Senator's, and Hon. j. Ross Stewart,
member of the House OF Representatives.
There we're present at the interview, Soi-
lector Arthur. Naval Officer Latin. Sur
veyor Sharpe, and Deputy Collector Ly-
decker.
General Chester acted as spokesman for
the committee. He explained that they had
been chosen at a convention called for tie
purpose TO visit New York and other cities
IN the North for the purpose OF explaining
the true condition of affairs IN Louisiana,
there having been much misrepresentation
| concerning the political struggles IL that
| State They had such abiding confidence
IN the good sense OF the people OF
| the North. that they were satisfied that
! the present State government of LouIsi-
ana would be upheld when the true
condition OF affairs was understood. The
| present State officers had been supported
nv the United States Supreme Court, and
| even by what was locally regarded "a still
| higher aurhority-the State Supreme Court
| appointed by Warmoth in 1868. The del
. .ation was well received by the officials
a1d although no speeches we're made in re
p,y. it was understood that interest and
sympathy had been aroused, and that the
leading Republicans in the city will pro5a
| bly, aid the delegates in calling public meet
ings. at which addresses will be delivered
by the Louisanians upon the condition o.
their State. The delegation confidently Ak
pect to hold meetings for this purpose in thi:
| and other cities, and Mr.. Burch will WISH
| New Haven tomorrow, and Mr. Ingrahan
| Hartford TO make arrangements for meet
ings there. An important part of the mis-
sion of the committee is to give true show
| ing Of the finances of the State. and will
| this intention they expect to visit prom
nent bankers and capitalists in Wall street
| One OF the committee told the reporter tina
| their financial affairs were no. nearly 81
bad as has been represented. The Stat
| government. he said. had reduced the Stat
debt over S3)0.O0O this year, and they wer
| contestng the legality of s6,2l0,0 900 OF TIT
debt contracted by Warmoth, in which, i
they are sustained, as they expect to be
thev will be able to reduce the taxes b.
one per cent The delegates are all highl.
respectable and intelligent men, and ar
sanguine Of accomplishing their mission.

afraid to come out boldly and reveal his
passion. went to white man OF his ac-
quaintance the other day, and asked him
to write the lady letter asking her hand

woman in q few brief lines that the size OF
her feet was the talk of the neighborhood,
and asking her if she couldn't pare them
down a little. The name of the colored
man was signed, and he was to call Sunday
night for an answer. Yesterday the writer
of the letter met the negro limping along
