man, Jules Tuges. Sap,uel Chaplin. Sam
uel Bell, and J. NJ. Sei1os. was appoint
ed to wait upon the Governor. The

Later.-The Committee from the Ca
nal Street Mass Meeting. appointed to
wait on the Governor with a request
that he Immediately abdicate. went to
the Executive Office where they were met
by General Dibble of the Governor g
staff. who informed them that he would
take the message to the Governor, which
he accordingly did and soon returned
with reply that the Governor must de-
cline to receive any communication from
tho meeting. because, he said. definite
and accurate information was that there
were now assembled in different parts
of the city several large bodies Of ARM
ed men, who met at the same call thai
convened the Mass Meeting. This he
regarded as q menace, and while he
would deem it one of his highest duties
to receive any communication or petit
ton from a peaceable assemblage Of
citizens, he could not recognize men
arriving with the request. Chairman
of the Committee replied: There nre
no armed men in Canal Street, SO far as
we know of, and we believe that if the
Governor had accepted the PROPOSE
ton we brought to-day. it would have
pacified the people of Louisiana and
might or wculd have prevented violence
or bloodshed; 40 far as we are concern
ed we are prepared to pledge to him that
there will be no violence to person or
property. We feel in position. on the
contrary. to assure him that there should
be- perfect security to BOTH"
General Dibble. on the part of the
Governor, replied. II have to repeat
what said before. that while there may
be no armed men on Canal Street. there
are armed bodies within short distance
assembled on the same call a. your

vised to go home and get their arms and
ammunition and return to assist the

execute the plans that would be arranged
for them. The people dispersed and
afterward in an armed body formed in
