The plans suggested for a settlement o. tie
difficulty were numerous and 50 varied,
that record Of them all is ont OF the question.
and as one was about worthy OF attention
and copsd. ,tion as the other, We 0eiraln
fro making me itlon OF any.
There is "A general belief that Kellogg will

At the special meeting of
THE PARISH COMMITTEE,
and the Presidents OF the Central Ward CLUBS.
held last night, NJ jor f. A. Burke submitted
plan tor canvass OF the cry, which was
adopted.
1t was, in a few words, as follows
For each block in the city there will be APP
Dointed by the Parish Committee, citizen
who can be depended On, whose duty it will
be to prepare an accurate list OF all the resi-
dent voter, in the block. The list 50 compil-
ed will be compared with the registration
books, aud where a name appears on the reg
!stration book, a resident Of desi mated
place that is not on the lists, the name Will be
marked.
The lists and books will then be submitted
to the Advisory Board, with the request that
the board appoint one or more representa-
tive men Of each party TO verify the reports
of the citizens, and where they are found to
be correct it will be dema ded that scratched
names be lfopp d from the gistr.iion.
In addition to The adoption Of the plan,
rartii arrangements were made to secure tne
money necessary to carry it ont that i,
money for the payment OF the canvasSers and
clerks appointed hy the Parish Committee.
THE SUPERIOR CRIMINAL COURT
opened yesterday for business Tor the ensuing
term, and Judge A ocha a q Attorney General
Field immediately proceeded to go through
the new Jury on the grolnd that it was not
drawn in accord ,nce with law. 1t was con-
tended and proved by the testimony Of Col.
S. W. Smallwood, one of the jury commission
ers that when the jury was drawn, instead OF
five hundred names being i'll the box, as the
law provides, there was but torty-six. and
having exhausted them. the box Was repen-
lshed by supplemental list.
The Court considered this manner OF draw
ing good grounds on which to discharge the
jury ard accordingly did it, and ordered a
new panel dri vi, returnlble on Monday next.
There yesterday appeared on the street a
new
COUNTERFEIT
five dollar bill. 1t purpolted to be the note
of one Of the National Banks of Chicago. and
was very well executed. That 1t has already
been pretty well showed is shown by the
fact that no less than four specimens were last
night presented to Treasurer Starr, OF the
Academy Starr is hard man TO fool; he was
too wide awake. and the men that presented
them did not see the show.
The attention OF citizens is called to the
fact, that under the new jury law, not being
REGISTERED,
does not secure mptlon from jury duty.
The registration books re no longer taken for
names; the directory furnishes all that are
needed. and SO Ahe old excuse for Rejecting
to register will not stand
There has been only sixty men put in the
field in the Second Ward as delegates to the
Republican Parish Convention SO far; but the
faithful voters should not get discouraged,
there are more coming.
