being prepared and that the arrests would prob
aoy be made tomorrow Since the nrst an
nouncemenr on Monday OF the intention OF the
authorities to make these arrests the temper OF
the people has greatly improved. and 1t is not now
probable that any or the parties will endeavOr
to evade or resist arrest. The parties interested
have consulted several leading attorneys, who
advise them that their pledge Is not In violation
OF the Enforcement act, In tnat 1t does not
threaten any one on account OF race, color or
previous condition OF servitude, and that q

have received the signatures OF planters in all
parts OF the parish. IL Is not known yet whether
any others than the original slxty.nine sgners
will be arrested or not.
