After a brief absence he returned and
made the following reply which at the re-
quest of Mr. Mari was reduced to writing
as follows;
| have communicated with the governor
and he directs me to say to you that he
must decline to receive any communication
from the committee appointed by the mass
meeting assembled on Canal street. He
does so, am instructed to say, because he
has definite and accurate information that
there are now assembled several large
bodies OF armed men, in different parts of
the city, who are met at the call which
convened the mass meeting which you
| represent. He regards this as menace
and will receive no communication under

Louisiana State Militia.
To which Mr.. Mari replied as follows.
We repeat tl-at there are no armed rioters;
there ale no armed men on Canal street so
far as we know; we came on mission of
peace, and e believe that if the Governor
had acceded to the proposition we brought
to-day, which was to abdicate, it would
have paclled the people of Louisiana and
might or would have prevented violence
and bloodshed SO far as we are concerned.
We are prepared 10 pledge to him no
violence in person and property, and we
feel in position on the contrary to assure
him that there should he perfect immunity
to both.
The substance of the foregoing reply was
subsequently, by Mr.. Mars request, re-
duced to writing by the governors private
secretary, and handed TO him to read at the
mass meeting.
General Dibble on part of the governor
replied have to repeat what said be-
fore, that while there may be no armed
men on Canal street, there are armed
bodies within short distance and assem-
bled on the same call as your mass meet
| ing.
The committee then retired and soon
after reported the result of this interview
to the meeting. People were then advised
to go home, get their arms and ammunition
and return to assist the white league
who were then under arms to execute
plans that would be arranged for them.
People then quietly dispersed afterwards,
while large number formed in procession
and marched up Lamp street
