AT LUTHERAN HALL.-Last evening vas
congregated very considerable number OF
Republicans at the above mentioned place.
The Third Ward Central Club, presided over
by Colonel F. c. Antoine, held a meeting
and appointed committee Of conference to
unite with other clubs whose representa-
tiyes have been discredited by the parish
committee. Speeches were made by Mr..
Tostrick, Colonel George w. Carter, Hon.
w. G. Brown and others. Unanimity and
thorough identification with the Republican
party appeared to be the ruling sentiments.
The idea seemed to prevail that no differ
ence between the opposing factions of a
ward should mar the harmony of political
working. But, at the same time, due repre-
sentatiOn and acknowledg ment are required
by this Third Ward Club from the parish
committee. So the matter rests. The con-
testants for representation in the third
ward claim only justice and right. The
present movement, it is urged, does not aim
at discord, but is prompted by desire for
security and independence in the matter OF
proper representation. The following gen.
tlemen were appointed a committee to con-
fer with other nOn-represented clubs rela-
tive to measures of mutual benefit and pro-
lection: Hon. w. G.. Brown, and Messrs.
j. Harmon, A. NolascO, S. X. Moses, j.. Alb
belar, j. B. Cotton, F. c. Antoine, and r.
w. GOewey. -,
After the meeting adjourned the club,
preceded by band OF music, .paraded
through the principal streets of the ward,
honoring the REPUBLICAN office with cheers
as they passed Camp street.

looked tempting, but few people dared to
ask the price. Cantelopes, not OF real

A QUEER MEDIUM.-A Correspondents
sensibilities have recently been shocked by
noticing national flags hung out, blazoned
with advertisements of some kind OF large
letters. This looks unpleasant to his eye.
and he asks us to make an appeal in behalf
of his sentiment. When there are SO many
newspapers and other good mediums Tor
advertising, it does appear somewhat out OF
place for a commercial firm to advertise it's
wares on a national emblem, but there is
no law but sentiment to prevent it. Per-
sons who are shocked at such things may
avoid the houses, giving their patronage to
firms that advertise in proper form.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION UNION Sons
RELIEF ASSOCIATION OF LOUIsIANA.-This
association celebrated it's eleventh ami.
versary last Wednesday evening, tho third
instant, at their own large hall on PerdidO
street, near Franklin street. The society
has over 1000 members, composed of both
sexes, and is the largest and most prosper
GUS benevolent organization among our
colored friends in this State They own a
handsome tomb, containing seventy.twO
large double vaults, costing nearly $4,000,
and also have real estate and personal
property valued at $500, and are entirely
free from debt.
Their hall and large supper room attached
was profusely decorated with flowers, ever
about nine o'clock their president, Mr..
Henry Clay, and Mrs. Susan johnson, the
lady president, seated on his left, called
the large audience to order and announced
the programme for the evenings enter
tainment. Rev. E. Brewer gave out hymn,
which was sang with much feeling. Rev.
John Jones offered up q prayer. After
which Mr.. Joseph A. Craig delivered fine
Grafton, recapitulating the early history of
the association. From his remarks we
learned that its first organization took
place June 3, 1868. A few men and women
met together at the house of Henry Clay,
determined to organize some plan for the
immediate relief of sick and wounded col
Ored soldiers who were then suffering at
Port Hudson and at other points in the
Mississippi valley.
Among those present were Mrs. Agnes
House. Mrs. Sarah Patterson, Mrs. Lucinda
Clay, Mrs. Adeline Biggs, Mrs. Elizabeth
GlascOe, Mrs. Fanny Thompson, Mrs. Mary
Edwards, Mrs. Augusta Robinson, Mrs.
Georgiana e. Craig, Mrs. Emma Price, Mrs.

Alfred Thoroughbred. Isaac Price, james
Marshall, John Thompson, w. IL. Alexan-
der George II. Washington, Henry Ed.
wards, John b. Smith. Rev. r. w. Bowie:
These and some few others were the
founders. Large contributions soon flowed
into the treasury, and in q short time the
society was organized on substantial basis
Thousands of sick and wounded soldiers
were provided with needful comforts and
Christian burial was furnished to the dead
After peace was declared they determined
TO continue their organization as great
Christian charity. They take care Of all
their sick and allow fixed stipend pei
week during sickness.
The address of Mr.. Craig was replete
with salient points of pathos, and was at
tentiyeIy listened to by a large audience
DIR. X. T. Creamer and General A. E. Bar
Der followed in soul stirring addresses; fol
which they received a vote Of thanks. The
entire company then adjourned to the ban
euet hall, and were RECALLED with splendid
supper. The festivities were prolonged
until late hour. We congratulate the
Union Sons Relief Association on giving al
entertainment Astounding in feast o
reason and flow of soul as well as IL
choice viands. 1t will be remembered by
the members and invited guests as one o
marked enjoyment.

of the measure.
We were told if we emancipated the
slaves they would turn about and either
murder their masters or roam over the
country as vagabonds. Those who told us
so were mistaken. We were told that the
sun and moon would turn into blood II we
gave the freedmen the right to go into
court like men. Here was another mistake.
And we were promised death and destruc-
ton if we gave the freedmen the right to
vote and hold office; but thus far this pre-
dictiOn has failed, for certainly our poor
colOred friends have not abused their
rights in these respects any more than their
white fellow citizens under like circum-
stances. And now we are told that the
GROWING step in the work of emancipation
will result in great and widespread dlsas-
prophets: DIR. Jeter, of Richmond, Virginia,
upheld slavery before and during the war.
He upheld JEFF Davis and prayed for his
success in his effort to destroy the ma
ton. He now comes on the stage to tell
us that it is wrong to have black children
and white drink in the schOolrOom, from
the same fountain OF common learning. He
is Baptist clergyman of eminence and d
man of undoubted worth and fitness Tor
his sphere; but l am one of those who
think that ministers of religion may err as

too, as other people. have half notion
to ask DR.. Jeter what be would do on Sun
day, in his church down in Richmond, If a
black man were to attempt to walk up the
main floor of his Westinghouse with view
of taking a seat anywhere as he sa " mt.
l am supposing now that the doctors pews
are free, and that the colored man does
exactly as white people do. attempt to take
a seat where he pleases. Would the doctor
object! Or, suppose colored man wanted
to hire pew in Dr.. Jeter's church and on
the main floor of the building, would DR..
Jeter object l know LIE would most de-
cidedly.
How can a minister of the gospel (which

minister be taken as judge of civil rightsi
