THINGS IN GENERAL.
There are some people in this community
that are anxious to know what action the Re-
publican State Central Committee is going to
take with regard to the proceedings of the
Advisory Board in reference to the drilling
in the streets Of New Orleans" of armed
organizations.
The Advisory Board, at its meeting on
Wednesday, in addition to the adoption Of q
resolution and preamble declaring the abso-
lutte necessity and propriety Of preventing
armed demonstrations and requesting such
action as will relieve all citizens from
apprehensions that would in any way inter-
fere with a full and fair registration and cleo
tion,' passed the following:
Whereas, reports have been n ade to this board
that bodies Of men with arms have recently
been drilling in the streets OF New Orleans, and,
streets or in the parishes is calculated to Intim
date citizens ard to create Ill feeling and appre-
hension among the people.
BE It resoGued That the attention OF the State
Central Committees OF both political organlza-
tons be directed to the necessity and propriety OF
avoiding any such displays, and requesting that
.uch MEASURES will be at once adopted as will re-
lieve all citizens from apprehensions upon the
subject.
A copy was forwarded to the Democratic
and Conservative State Central Committee,
and by the Committee immediate action was
taken, ss follows:
and recommended the compliance by our people
IN perfect good faith with the terms OF the
agreement entered into with the Republican
party, and that they urge our people to refrain
from all acts and demonstrations which may
give ground OF complaint OF violation OF the let
TER or spirit OF said agreement.
1t is not known whether or not the mem
bers Of the Advisory Beard were As prompt
in sending copies of the resolution passed by
them to the Republican State Central Com
mittee, as they were in forwarding it to the
Committee of their political opponents. 1t is
not known whether they sent it at all; it is
considered more than probable they did not.
for it makes deal of difference whose OK is
gored.
1t is perfectly proper for the negroes to drill
in the rear and upper portions Of the city, but
drilling in the city proper is wrong. OF course,
because white men do it. There is another
matter on which citizens desire the action Of
the Advisory Board
ELECTION DAY
is approaching, and in short time the polling
places in the wards will be announced and it
is desired by honest voters of both parties
that voters instead Of being allowed TO deposit
their ballots at any polling booth indiscrimin-
ately, should be governed in their selection
by the initial letter Of their sirnames the
booths being lettered say from to E, E to l.,
and SO throughout the alphabet
This for the purpose of preventing any re-
peating -.
If voters have right to vote at any polling
place in the ward, any dishonest voter can de-
post ballot at each of them on papers issued
from dishonest State Supervisor.
As an example, the State Supervisor OF a
certain ward select number Of men on whom
he can depend. To them he issues as many
registration papers rs there are booths. The
duplicate papers are all copies Of the origin
ais. and the men, so soon as i. is cancelled,
can 90 to another, and, in fact, all the booths,
and vote on their duplicates almost without
the possibility of detection.
It may not be gene rally known, but since
the arrival Of troops Deputy U. S. Marshals
have been sent to different portions Of the
State it is supposed, for the purpose OF gath
erine "evidence," on which to base prosecu-
tons. 1t is understood that warrants have
already been sen. to Coushatta.
