HONORS TO GEN. OGDEN BY OOLORED
MEN,

A very pleasant and significant incident occur
red Friday evening last in the Sixth District.
Gen. Fred N. Ogden, the Commander in. Chief OF
the White League organization, while sitting with
his family after a late dinner, heard music just
outside of the front gate of his residence, and
upon going out was at once surprised and graft
fed to find that he was being serenaded by the
Third Ward Colored Democratic Club.
After the music had ceased the General walked
out and thanked the members of the club for the
compliment, and assured them that he valued
very highly this evidence Of their confidence in
the League and regard for himself. He assured
them also tn 1t he accepted their action as an in
dication that the good time of kindly feeling and
mutual good will between the races was coming
on apace, and hoped that the colored people as a
whole would follow the excellent example set
them by the Third Ward Club
The colored men present all expressed them
solves in the most CHEEKY and hopeful manner and
are evidently sincere in their professions. The
affair was very pleasant one throughout, and
our only regret is that the editor Of the Chicago
Inter- Ocean and his most veracious correspond
ent from this place could not have been spec
tatOrs.

WATCH 1T

In the Superior District Court, on Friday, was
instituted the suit Of the State, OK rel. Thomas
Ii nne, vs.. John Calhoun, Administrator Of Pub
lie Accounts
1t is case by mandamus to compel the Ad-
nlnisFator Of Public Accounts to warrant in
favor OF the relator for an amount sufficient to
satisfy judgment rendered in favor Of relator,
and at the same time by injunction restraining
SAID Administrator from warranting in favor of
any other judgment creditor until he shall have
SO done.
The object OF the suit is to compel the Admin
lstrator OF Accounts to give to one Judgment
creditor preference over another.
The relator. in this case must take his turn
with all other judgment creditors of tho city.
We hope Administrator Calhoun will see to it
that no injustice is done to other creditors by
preventing, If possible, the writ being made per-
emptory.

INFORMATION FOB THE P10AYUNE.

A few days ago that journal of simmovable
neutrality, yclept the Picayune impudently
and gratuitously volunteered some 'informa.
ton for the BULLETIN" In doing SO it has
exposed its own infrmities to such an extent
as to excite general comment. The Picayune
can teach the BULLETIN nothing, for it never
opes its mouth but out there flies blunder.
When we want for information we will apply
where it can be intelligentiy and reliably fur
nished. This will debar the Picayune from
contributing to our stock Of information.
In its edition of yesterday evening, one of
its editors, nominally the chief, but in reality
an eclipsed luminary overshadowed by
younger and perhaps more worthy compeers,
attempts to reflect upon the BULLETIN by
charging one of its editors with having
''warmly and earnestly defended" when edit
ing the Southern Star, Gov. Wells in his 'au-
dacious and criminal attempt to deprive the
people of New Orleans of their right to choose
their own officers
This is utterly and entirely false. The
Southern Star, at the time of the municipal
election referred to by the Picayune was not
the organ Of Gov Wells-on the contrary, it
opposed his party and was the only paper in
the city that had at its masthead the Demo-
cratic ticket The True Delta was the organ
of Gov. Wells and Mayor Kennedy, and sup
ported the ticket headed by JOS. 81. Moore,
warmest advocate of the Monroe ticket, and the
files of that paper will prove this fact. The
P;c0yune then, as it is now, was immovably
neutral, but when the spoils of Office were to
be divided that subservient sheet was on hand
for the city printing, and its editor was pro-
vided with clerkship.
That journalist, who is himself so vulner-
able and SO VIGOROUSLY guilty Of professional
Irregularities, writing at the same time for two
papers Of opposite politics, should attempt to
make out charge Of political inconsistency
against one of the editors of the BULLETIN is
both strange and stupid Had the bold writer
but the semblance Of truth in his premises,
the conclusion he would draw might have had
some force, but when they are based upon alb
solute falsehoods, they can only elicit con-
tempt and scorn for the desperate author who
would resort o.such despicable means to de-
fend the unenviable and questionable position
which he occupies in the estimation of honor
able journalists and fair, impartial and ap-
preciative public.
The shot fred by the Pioayune is only
flash. Its gun was not charged with truth

the matter was all fraud, and supposed tina
the end had been -eached but yesterday the,
were astonished to find that Messrs. Piel
Bros. & Co., of New York, had received let
ter similar to the others, dated 7th inst, and
also a note tor $4,000, with an order for malt
The New York firm wrote that they did moi
do business in the manner that the letter in
dicated; and they returned the note, furthe,
stating, however, that having made careful
inquiries as to Cd & O., as any good merchant
would do, they would open business with
them at future time.
This is the last of the letters whose origin
is enshrouded in the most complete uncer-
tainty, SO tar as investigation has been made.
Messrs. Glover Il Odendahl had no previ-
GUS knowledge of or correspondence with any
of the parties who have received these letters,
and gave no instructions to any one, employee
or otherwise, to write any orders or sign their
name to any obligation.
The motive of the perpetrator cannot be
surmised, and the case forms one of the
strangest commercial incidents we have ever
been called upon to record

NORTH LOUISIANA SPEAKS.
The Returns Must be Fairlxs Counted.
Intense Excitement in Northern Parishes
Especial to the Bulletin. I


SHREVEPORT, Nov. 1.-The Shreveport Tines
to morrow will contain an editorial taking ground
that our people desire no representative on the
Returning Board, and no concessions from Kel-
logg; that we have in count of votes at every
polling place in the State the same evidence q
result of election that the people of other States
have, and the board should understand that tho
same results must be decided or their lives win
pay the forfeit. 1t says the people Of North
Louisiana have implicit confidence in those Of
New Orleans and advises the people of the
parishes to Danish all defeated candidates whom
the board may count in. Intense excitement
prevails throughout Northwest Louisiana, and
the people will be prompt to carry out the pro-
gramme of the Times. Couriers are constantly
arriving from the country and the neighborine
parishes to learn the action Of the board. Our
people will stand by New Orleans in any ex-
tremity.

At 11:30 o'clock the Board was called to order
Wells, Cassanave and Kenner present.
On motion Ct Kenner recess until 1890 o'clock
was taken. At the appointed time the Board re-
assembled, Wells, Cassanave, Kenner and Ander-
son present.
A communication was received from Kellogg,
calling the attention OF the Board to the section
OF the election law providing that all parties shall
be represented on it and suggesting to the
Board that the Conservative Democratic party be
allowed representation. The letter was filed.
THE DESIGNATION
Of Longstreet, a member of the board, was
then read as follows:
New ORLEANS, Nov. IA, 1874.
Hon. J. N. Wells, Pr. $. Returning Board:
Ssr-Finding myself in such condition that
an physic ally unable to attend the meetings of
your board, must ask you to accept my resig-
nation and designate some other person to act in
my place. Respectfully,
JAS LoNasrREs7
1t was accepted and ordered spread on the min
utes.
the board canvassins the votes on the grounds,
l. That by the act under which the board
claims to act, the said board is vested with pow
ers judicial in their character, and is in conflict
with Art. 81 Of the Constitution of the State of
Louisiana.
2. That if the constitutionality of the law were
established beyond doubt, we again protest
against the manner in which the present acting
board is constituted. The act No. 90 of 1878,
sec. 2, provides that five persons, to be elected
by the Senate from all political parties, shall be
the returning officers for all elections in the
State. This requisite has not been complied
with, as none Of the gentlemen composing the
board, 80 far as we know, have claimed to be
Conservative Democrats within the past two
years. while all Of them have disclaimed such
connection.
Mr.. Wells stated that when the board was Or
ganized the Democratic party was not in exist.
ence. The elements at that time opposed to the
Republican party were organized as the Fusion
party, and it was as a member Of it, as Conser-
vative that he was appointed on the board. He
made tie statement because of the last clause in
the second assigned reason.
The document was spread upon the minutes.
After some little discussion as to the most ad-
visable manner iu which to begin
The CANVASS
of the vote, it was decided to commence on the
parish of Orleans and take it up by wards, and
the board Immediately went to work.
The bundles containing the entire returns of
the city were opened and the packages assorted
and arranged. This work completed, the board
took up poll one, First Ward, and got through
with it, then took up poll two, but concluded to
rest while and accordingly adjourned until 10
O'Clock Monday morning.
The manner OF proceeding, adopted by the
board. is sure but rather tedious and lengthy
way Of arriving at results, and it will probably be
Wednesday morning before there can be any
return of the city vote made.
The statement of votes ,of each poll are taken
up and compared with the tally Sheets the figures
on which are verified by count. When the state
ment OF all the polls in ward are thus disposed
OF the returns will be compiled.

SOMETHING TO EAr.-It has been stated as one
Of the reason why Grant sent his troops down

Detter than in any other place. Grant must have

eat-Pickles, pot5ed meats, canned fish and fruit,
etc, can be found at living prices. The firm has
a large contract, not with the army Of the United

line and the fact that it takes large quantities
supply the demand under the terms of agree

HAVE They BUSTED oh no. The house OF
Fellman Bros. is one Of the most solid in the
town, and have opened 1873 cases of goods more
desirable and cheaper than ever, and why have
they done this? Because foreseeing the dull
ness OF the times and the scarcity of money, they
have purchased their stock alone for cash. Why,
they have pitched in tremendously, and can
compare their prices with any other house.
