follows: Irepeat that there are no armed
rioters, there are no armed men on Canal

mission Of peace and we believe that Il
the Governor had acceded 10 the propo-
sttion we brought to-day which was 10
a6dicste, It would have pscified the peo-
pie OF Louisiana and might or would have
prevented violence or blood d-shed. So far
as We arc concerned we are prepared 10
pledge 10 him no violence In person or
property, and we feel in a position on the
contrary to assure him that there would
be perfect immunity 10 both. .'aE
Tho substance Of the foregoing reply
was subsequently, by Mr.. MaTr's request,
reduced to writing BY the Governors
private secretary, and handed TO him to
read at the mass meeting.

what l said before, that while there NAV
be no armed men on Canal street, there
ore armed bodies within short distance
assembled on the same call as your pass

and ammunItins. and return 10 asaist The
