The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-10-09

RESIGNED
from the Board. Maj. Burke considers that
the duties devolving on him as Chairman of
the Committee on Naturalization and Regis |
tration are more important than those apper-
tanning to the Advisory Board, as it involves
revision Of the past registration, and he is
unable to properly attend to both. In addi-
ton to this the fact Of his being candidate for
Office has also Influenced him in Withdrawing.
Packard thinks that his duties as chairman
Of the Republican State Central Committee
are sufficient to occupy his whole time.
In connection with the action Of the Advi-
sory Board on the alleged drilling Of the citi-
zens in the streets, the folio wing resolution
was adopted by the board and forwarded to the
and Conservative State Central
Committee ......
Whereas, reports have been made to this
board that bodies OF men with arms have recent
ly been drilling in the streets of New Orleans,
and whereas the appearance OF such bodies upon
the streets or in the parishes is calculated to in
timid ate citizens and to create i'll feeling and ap
prehension among the people,
Be it resolred, That the attention Of the State
Central Committees OF both political organiza-
tons be directed to the necessity and propriety
of avoiding any such displays, and requesting
that such measures will be at once adopted a.
will relieve all citizens from apprehensions upon
the subject.
In response to this, the following action
was taken by the committee:
Resolved That this committee have adopted
and recommended the compliance by our people
in perfect good faith with the terms Of the
agreement entered into with the Republican
from all acts and demons, rations which may
give ground of complaint of violation of the let
ter or spirit Of said agreement.
1t is understood that Gen. Ogden will off,
cially advise compliance with the spirit of
the resolution.
At the meeting of the board yesterday,
Major Burke offered resolution providing for
1.-The appointment of the chief clerk in each
registration Office having to make the entries
on the registration books from the Demo-
cratic Conservative party which Was re-
jected.
Major Burke then offered another, in nature
and substance the same but in phraseology;
to which Packard offered the following substi-
tute:
Whereas the members Of the Advisory Board
representing the Conservative party, have ex-
o, essea desire for certain changes in the
Clerks in the registration Offices in the city Of
New Orleans, to the end that their political
party may have q representative at zach reSlstra-
lion Office OF their own selection;
Be II resolred, That in each ward, registration
Offices, where neither of the present clerks salts
factorily represent the Conservative party, the
Governor, with the recommendation OF this
board, be advised to appoint one clerk to be Sc
lected by the members representing the Con-
servative party on this board.
Which was amended on motion Of Burke
by the addition of the following:
Said clerk to be assigned to tho duty Of making
the entries Of registration on the registration
book.
Thus amended it passed.
A complaint was received from the parish
of Tangipahos, setting forth that, out OF
thirty commissioners of election in the parish,
only four were Republican. On this the fol
lowing was adopted:
| Whereas, under the statute regulating cleo
TONS each political partys entitled to repr. senta
ton on the board of election commissioners ; and
according to the letter and spirit OF the agree
ment under which the advisory board was ere
ated, the SAID commissioners should be 50 consti
tuted:
/ ResOlred. That it is the duty of the police
iuries to comply with both the letter and spirit
of said agreement and said statutes; and tina,
copies Of this resolution be forwarded to eact
police jury in the State.
| No objection Adopted.
There was a
| MASS MEETING
of colcred Republicans held last night at the
Central Church, corner of Gasquet and Llbert,
streets, called by committee Of which julie,
Abelard was chairman, and Chas. A. Baquit
was secretary.
The meeting was all cut and dried by The
committee, but what ever may have been it
objects, they were evidently frustrated b.
Pinchback, who appeared on the scene in re
spouse to an invitation.
The committee appointed F. s. Cassanav'
President. long list of Vice Presidents, ant
Chas. A. Baquie Secretary.
i The ball was set in motion by JAS II. In
graham, who, with few remarks, introduced
a motion to appoint committee Of five on re
solutions, which was carried.
Ingraham and Pinchback were appointed OF
the com mittee, and with the others retired.
During their absence Barney Lynch made I
speech, in which, while going for the whit
people of this State very heavily, he expressed
I: himself as not being Republican from an in
ordinate love VI the negro, but from passion
ate love of justice, that justice which the negr'
was entitled to. He assured his colored fel
low-citizens that he proposed to devote hi
future life, his all, if necessary, to obtain
LOT tuSm
The assurance was received by his bearer
with becoming spirit of gratitude, meeknes
} and forbearance.
When he got through the committee re
ported, and in no very mild manner on
THE UsuEPAT1oN.
The address Of cplored citizens as promul
gated yesterday, was embodied in their repor
and with it was adopted.
The resolutions were introduced with tn
following preambles:
Whereas, it is fundamental principle of FIRE
institutions that all just powers OF government
are derived from the consent Of governed, and
Whereas, we, the colored people Of the State G
Louisiana cons titute the nine-tenths OF the he
publican electors Of this State; and
Whereas, agreement compromises and az
pointments to Office are made to which We ar
not parties or are even consulted; and
Whereas, it is reported that those whom "
have elected from our class are excluded fror
the consultations Of the leaders of our party.
!, In consideration it was resolved, first tina
faith in the National Government was ente!
