POLITICAL NOTES.

the delegates chosen to represent this
ward in the parish convention OF Sat
urday next: Messrs. Louis Butler,
C. N. Lewis, S. Fl. Mullen, George
Diggs and Henry Jones. The dissat-
isfaction that existed in the ward on
account of the alleged irregularities
in the election of delegates seems to
have Gained down, as we hear no
of the rumor that another
ballot is to be taken.
SECOND WARD.-An enthusiastic
meeting of Republicans was held at
the school house last Saturday even
ing, proceedings of which have been
kindly furnished us by Mr.. w. w.
Buford.
In the temporary organization P.
A. Jones was chosen president and
w. w. Buford secretary, after which
the following delegates to the Parish
Convention were elected: Owen
White, Carpenter Jenkins, P. A.
Jones and Willis johnson alternates,
Geo. Jackson, Macmillan Sims, Ma
jor Richardson and Jncs Martin.
Messrs. Robt. Noel, P. A. Jones and
Nathan Hays were successfully called
upon and made effective addresses,
full of good counsel and wisdom, and
evidently in accord with the feelings
of the assemblage, as shown by the
and enthusiastic plaudits.
The second ward club was then per-
manently organized with the follow
ing officers: PA. Jones, president
Jos. Perry, vice president; Chas.
Bush, secretary /; Willis Johnson, SER
geant-at-arms.
The following resolution was in
troduced and unanimously adopted,
after which the club adjourned:
Resolced, That we, the members of the
second ward Republican club, having formed
ourselves mo an organization, recognize In
Hon. P. Landry, our Representative in the
Legislature, the leader of the Republican
party of this parish, and SO long as Mr..
Landry shall continue our friend he will
meet with every aid and have the conf.
dence of every member of this club.
THIRD WARD.-The meeting for
the election of delegates from this
ward was held at Mr.. Tye Kim Orr's
school house, Sunday afternoon last,
and proved as harmonious as could
be wished. Messrs. Geo. Woodside
and Manuel johnson were elected
delegates to the Parish Convention,
with George Turner and Minus Mel
son as alternates. The third ward
club was permanently organized by
the election of Geo. Turner, presi-
dent Jos. Henderson, vice president;
and secretary. Messrs.
Pierre Landry, Robt. Noel, L. E.
Bentley, V. C. Gabrielle and w. w.
Buford- responded to the wishes of
the assemblage with brief speeches
which were we'll received. The resolu-
ton adopted by the second ward club
was presented by P. A. Jones and
unanimously concurred in.
The club then adjourned subject
to the presidents call.
Sixth Wharf.-The attendance at
the sixth ward meeting, held at Lin
wood, Saturday evening last, was not
SO large as desired, in consequence of
the laborers being greatly fatigued
by constant work and watching on
the levees for several days previous,
but the audience was earnest and the
proceedings highly satisfactory in the
main. There was one disorganizer
present, in the person of an aspirant
for Senatorial honors, and he insisted
with such obstinate pugnacity that
the sixth ward should be entitled to
seven delegates, although the appor-
tionment of the State Central Com
mittee gives it but six, that it was
agreed to elect seven in order to quiet
him, leaving the Parish Convention
to regulate the matter hereafter. The
following delegates we're chosen:
Henry Heyman, Augustus knight,
lsam Thority, Jas. Carter, Allen
Warner Graham and
Milton Morris, as nearly as our mem
Dry serves us.
The club of the Sixth Ward was
permanently organized by the election
Of Isam Thority, president, and Jas.
Carter, secretary. The names of the
'ther officers have escaped our recol-
action
