INDIGNATION MEETING OF FOB
EIGNERS.

There is now in circulation q number o.
calls awaiting the signatures Of our natural.
lied citizens for a meeting in front of the
City Hall, on Wednesday night, October %,
when it is proposed to sound throughout the
country the notes of warning that foreign
born citizens need not expect equality before
the law so long as Grant and the usurper re-
main in power. We hope the naturalized
citizens Of New York, Pennsylvania and the
other Northern and Western States will ap-
preciate the dire results to follow the out
rage upon their rights by Attorney General
Fields opinion.
The boosted hospitality Of America becomes
q mockery, and England or Germany may,
with impunity, draft in their armies men who
enjoyed the fancied tranquility arising from
an impression they were entitled to the rights
Of American citizenship. Let our Gish
French, German, Spanish and Italian citizens
note the fact that, by Kellogg's Attorney
General they have been ostracised and dis
franchised. This is the welcome Louisiana gives
her immigrants. Let every foreigner attend
this meeting, and by his voice and presence,
show his indignation at this outrage.

THE BARBECUE.

At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the fnt
steamer La Belle pushed out from the whar
at the foot Of Gravier street, with large
number Of ladies and gentlemen, to attend
the grand barbecue, to be given at the old
Waggaman plantation, in jefferson parish.
There were also on board the First, Second
and Third Ward Colored Conservative Clubs,
who had been invited to attend.
After stopping at Gretna, jackson street,
Louisiana Avenue and Carrollton to receive
the several orators and families and guests
they pushed up the river to the plantation: o
beautiful spot, situated on the left bank Of the
Mississippi. In the 'front.' near the river
bank, is very large number of aged oaks,
and under these trees platform had been
erected, and decorated by the fair hands of
the country girls with canopy of United
States flags and each post dec orated with
bunch of cane.
There now being over three hundred pre-
sent, of which two-thirds were colored men,
Col. Eugene Waggaman called the meeting to
order, and Mr.. j. G. Osgood was unanimously
nominated President
Mr.. James G. Lingan being loudly called
for addressed the meeting in q few well-timed
remarks, and told the colored men that ward
clubs and parades did not prove their sincerity
to the white people; they must show it at the
polls on the I'd day Of November.
S. j. N. Smith, Esq, then appeared and
made an eloquent address, interspersing it
with little sparks Of wit and humor, which
convulsed the crowd with laughter
Pref. Alex. Dimitry being called for, by
hif great powers of oratory gave brilliant
word painting of poor Louisiana.
Chas. Craig and Jos. E. Williams, two
cOlored Democrats addressed the meeting and
their words seemed to have great effect upon
the colored men present
81. E. Shropshire followed in an eloquent
and able speech, after which the meeting ad- |
journed to allow the guests to partake of the |
delightful repast that had been prepared for |
all. The colored people had table over fifty |
yards long in the yard. A beef and several |
sheep and hogs had been prepared for them.
The whites had a table very near by, and
partook OF the viands with evident gusto.
All having dined heartily and feeling invig-
grated, was soon called to the speakers stand
BY the tap of the drum, and all wanted to be
here, as Col. Eug. Waggaman's speech was to

lis quiet and easy manner he opened, gradu-

nd the curse resting upon our land, and
aid that the only redemption there was
ither for the white or the black man was to

A NUT FOR COLE FEEL"

New ORLEANS, Oct. &c, 1874.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin
Seeing that, by decision of the Attorney
General, large number of citizens who have
been naturalized in the Second District Court
are disfranchised, and being one of the num-
Der, wish to ask Col. Fields opinion on this
point. was naturalized in the Second Dis
trict Court in 1868, illegally, as he holds, and
in September, 1872, served on the petit jury
in the First District Court. Now, were not
the convictions by that petit jury invalid, in
consequence Of an aliens serving on it, and, if
invalid, are not the persons convicted clearly
entitled to their liberty?
have no doubt but that my learned friend,
the Attorney General, has foreseen this result,
as general Jail delivery would add largely
to the Radical vote at the coming election.
Yours, Jos. P. MURPHY.

MERRILL.

The action Of Brevet Bngadier Gen. Mer
and most disreputable party purposes cannot
be too strongly reprobated, and we look to
Gen. Emory to have this fellow promptly
brought to justice-if there be any such old
fashioned thing left in the army.
It is not too much to say that this mans
scurvy actions reflect upon every officer in
the army, and if not checked at once will
bring disgrace upon the entire service. We
do not believe there are half dozen officers
in the regular army who do not condemn the
manner in which the U. S. troops have been
used in the South for party purposes, and who
do not hold in scorn any officer who permits
his political bias to interfere with the legiti-
mate discharge of his duties.
We know there are many who would resign
their commissions rather than become the
mere tools and ickspittles Of men in power
We do not know how Gen. Emory may feel
about the matter, but it looks to us very much
as if he had been overslaughed not only by
Packard, but by Merrill also-by the Chair
man Of the Radical State Central Committee and
a mere military ursderling-the latter seemingly
acting under the advices Of Packard, Kellogg
and Williams, rather than under orders of the
gentleman who is, by popular fiction, be-
heved to be in command of the Department.
Really, as things are at present managed, it
would be just as well for Gen. Emory to take
a trip North for his health, or betake himself
to some point where he can in nowise be
held responsible for the disreputable actions
Of his subordinates
In regard to this military Ku-Klux, this !
political hummer with shoulderstraps, we
are seriously of the opinion that he should be !
treated by the people as the unmitigated
nuisance that he is and made to understand
hat while We respect the service, which he
lisgraces. we spit upon and despise him as the
instrument and tool Of the most disreputable
et Of political blacklegs that roam around
utside Of penitentiary wallis ID

Judge Ballard. in his supplemental charge
TO the Grand Jury Of the U. S. Circuit Court,
ct Louisville. on the 23d inst, discussing the
question of Federal jurisdiction, says: II
cannot admit that the mere emancipation of
the black race, and the guarantee of both the
white and black races against future enslave-
ment, have transferred to the United States
the whole police power Of the States. Such
otemendous revolution in our system of gov
eminent is not to be assumed without the
most explicit language"

AND GEN. EMORY.

HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC AND CoNsERvA
TIVE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE
STATE OF LOUISIANA.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 26, 1874.
To Major Gen. w. H. Emory, U. S. A.,
commanding Department of Gulf
Sir-We have received credible information
OF the fact that Lewis Merrill, major of the
7th Regiment Of q. S. Cavalry an officer un-
der your command, did on the 22d inst, at
the city of Shreveport, make an affidavit for
the arrest of large number of citizens of this
State
The ofense charged by said officer is one
strictly cognizable by the civil courts and ap-
pertains in no manner to the military service
AS you are aware, polical campaign is being
conducted in this State under the Constitu-
ton and Laws Of the country. The effect in
tended by the exhibition of zeal of this mill
tary officer cannot be otherwise than to throw
the influence Of the power of his official posi-
hol4 against the political party of which we
are the organ.
Having but recently arrived In that section
OF the country, and it not appearing by his
affidavit that his rights have been interfered
with. we cannot characterize his gratuitous
services IN that behalf otherwise than unmili-
tary, and intimidating, and in conflict with
the spirit Of our institutions.
We feel that We are the more promptly
called upon to protest against the conduct Of
this military officer, as past sad experience in
our State proves that Republican political
leaders have found it an easy matter to subor-
dinate the civil to the military power which
our fellow-citizens at the North are Justly by
their votes denouncing as an outrage against
constitutional liberty and the rights Of civil
government.
Respectfully, your obi servant,
R. H. MARI,
President State Central Committee |
official: E. G. DILL, Chief Secretary

The dash and courage of "our troops" can
find no other field for employment except the
lately inundated lands of poor Louisiana.
The Committee of Seventy have not lost
sight Of these outrages not only on humanity
but on common decency, and by resolution
addressed to Gen. Emory on the subject, call
his attention to the matter. In calm and
dispassionate manner they ask the representa-
tive Of the army Of the United States here,
whether these raids are committed by authori-
ty, and whether the sanction Of the Govern
ment is given them.
Our special dispatches from st. Martin show
too plainly what is to be expected. The pu-
crescent corpse exhibited on all occasions as
bona fide State Government has already
driven by its noisome odors many of its sup
porters from its vicinity. Its foulness smells

ion to this subject.

military election, seat the candidates elected,

troops and allow the State to direct its own af-

The failure Of the Freedman's Bunk, caused
by Encouragement and dishonesty, whereby
certain members of the Washington Ring were
permitted to tilch the hard earnings of eman-
cipated slaves, has had healthy effect upon
the colored people in some Of the Southern
States. In some parts of Georgia the negroes
who had been swindled by the managers of
the bankrupt concern deserted the Republican
party, carrying their friends with them. and
At the last election were to be seen marching
up to the polls in company with their old mas
tiers and voting the straight Democratic ticket
It is significant fact that in nearly all parts Of
the reconstructed States when the colored
people wish for assistance or advice regarding
their personal affairs, they apply to their old
masters, instead of carpet baggers, even in
sections where the influence of politicians and
the terrorism exercised by the black leagues
which exist all through the South lead them to
rote persistently for the robber governments.

As means Of tightening the overburdened
docket of the courts of that city, the Chi
cago papers are urging the establishment of
IN arbitration court, similar to that of New
York and those of the commercial cities of
England, Prussia, Denmark and France.
Why not have such court in New Orleans?
As Judge Fancher said in his inaugural ad-
dress Last Thursday, before the New York
court: " Trade demands and receives its suf-
ficient supply Of capital, its marvellous facii-
ties of transportation, its inventions for ight-
ening labor; it employs ships and wharves
and warehouses, with all the appliances and
improvements; why should its opportunities
be restricted for want of forum where its
unavoidable disputes can be readily deter
mined?"
