that if calm and cOnsiderate couneels pre-.
vail. and the delegates come together pos
sessed Of the facts bearing upon the condi'
ton OF the Southern communities, and lay
them before the country in authentic and
concise form, an impression will be made
which may favOrably affect the judgment
Of the we'll disposcd in every section.
At this convention the record should
be fully and honestly made up. show.

the Republicans have had to OcOntend-what
progress has been made--and whether in

Mr.. Edmunds concludes the circular IS

To the eincerc and thoughtful statesmen

Mr.. L. Purvis thought the institution had
been badly managed in the past, and thus
the charter had been violated in very many
particulars. His associates he thought were
thoroughly in sympathy with the deposit
ors. and were doing all in their power to
realize all out Of the assets Of the bank
possible. He paid special compliment to
his colleague, Mr.. Leopold. as . man OF
energy. and laborng hard for the deposit
ors. He also spoke very highly Of the IN
spector Of the bank. Mr.. S1erry. Remarks
were also made by ProsessOr Green. Mr..
Thomas and several others. Mr.. Hilliard

HUNTING FOR A NEGRO RIOT
How Sergeant Sullivan Received al
Angels Visit at Midnight.
4 DISAPPOINTMENT AND 4 RETREAT

About midnight FHday night quite a
number Of armed men assembled At the
corrfer Of Camp ard Canal streets, with the
avowed purpose OF 4uellins . NEGRO in
suryection' in the rear of the seventh ward.
1t was notorious that no disorder existed IN
in that portion Of the city. The only e1-
ci.emens during the day or night was a. the
polling place where an election was being
held for delegates to the Republican Parish
Convention. At the Seventh Ward Central
Club room quite number Of colored men
were gathered. watching the count Of
the votes. but they were as quiet
and orderly as people usually arc
on such occasions. just before midnight
the count was concluded, and the specta-
tors quietly dispersed. This was however
made che pretext tor calling out several
squads Of armed White Leaguers, with
Colonel Angel at their head. This body
moved out Canal street, and when opposite
Governor Kellcgg's residence. Colonel An

officer ot the old Louisiana Legion. met

the sergeant stated that there was no
trouble or disturbance back of town Of any
kind whatever; that there had been none,
and none was apprehended. The White
LeagueEs then retired. being. very fortu'
nately, in good state OF discipline, and
under full control Of their accomplished
leader. The wicked designs of those who
created the alarm was thus frustrated.
But Republicans may we'll ask how long
this state Of affairs is to continue. where
an evil disposed person may start foolish
and wicked sumor and instantly call Out
hundreds Of armed men prepared to star
on crusade through the suburbs Of the
city after such hapless colored men as may
be abroad at the time. We have had the
bargain of the conference committee. pledg
ing that acts Of lawlessness and intimida
ton should cease. We have had the edieti
of the advisory board. insisting upon com
pliance with the pledge. We have had
threats from White League sources thai
they will not be bound by the compact. and
such proceedings as those Of Friday mid
night are confrmatory Of those threats

was a MOS. fortunate acciden: OF leadership
that these men did not leave a trail o
blood behind them on the march. 1t is no
often that men like John Angel happen t.
be at the head Of such expeditions.
