THE MEETING TONIGHT.

We hope every Conservative will endelvol
to be present at the meeting, which is to take
place tomorrow evening, for the purpose o.
expressing in unmistakable terms the un.
shaken opposition Of our people to any sur
render Of their rights under the plea of com
promise.
This expression Of the real feelings Of our
fellow citizens should be Of such character
as to demonstrate to all that the desire to
patch up some sort Of an adjustment with
the Kellogg usurpation is confined to very
small number of persons belonging to the
Conservative party, and thus to deprive the
advocates Of the Wheeler proposition of their
strongest argument viz: that majority Of
the people Of Louisiana desire such a settle
ment.
We have repeatedly shown that this So
called compromise was no compromise at all,
but complete surrender of every principle
for which we have already gone through so
much suffering, and for which the blood of
many Of Louisiana's most patriotic sons was
shed last September. We have called atten-
ton to the fact that while we are
asked to give up our opposition to
a government based on fraudulent returns
and upheld by Federal bayonets, the only
boon offered to Us as compensation for that
great sacrifice of our feelings and of our
principles is the admission Of the Conserva-
tive members into the lower House-an ad- |
mission which the Radicals here are COM
PEELED to grant, under any circumstances,
their own friends in Congress having been
driven to the confession that the action of the
Returning Board was illegal and fraudulent.
The reorganization of the House of Repre-
sentatives with Conservative majority bound
hand and foot not alone by their pledge not
to interfere with Kellogg, but also by the fact
that every act they might pass would have to
run the gauntlet Of the State Senate, in which
the Radicals hold two-thirds of the seats,
would therefore bring no relief to our people
but would only add another disturbing ele-
ment to the present chaotic condition Of
affairs.
Another reason for rejecting the Wheeler
is that it is the work of our
enemies, and that its adoption is desired by 5
the shrewdest leaders of the Radical faction
here as well as in Washington. Now there
ID no safer rule of action than to abstain from
doing whatever your enemy wants You to do. !
II the Conservative members want to PLAY
into the hands Of the men who have brought
this State to anarchy and ruin, and 10 do away
with one of the most potent and effective ar
5uments against the Radical party, let them
lccept the Wheeler compromise. But if, as n
We hope and trust, they are inspired with sin t
ere desire to protect the rights and to promote c
he interests of their constituents, let them q
lose their ears to the syren song of few o
tock-j obbinS operators and Carondelet street v
PATRIOTS and firmly and immovably stand by y
heir past declarations and their solemn
ledge "never to recognize the Kellogg usur- a
alton" IL hoe sig,,o uinces this, and this +.
lone, is the banner which is to lead us to a Ia
nal and crowning victory Y

ANOTHER NEGRO ARRAY.


Wednesday night, about IL, as q coiored
man named Bob Woods was coming out OF
the house of woman named Nolan, on the
corner of Bienvilla and Franklin streets q
negro man. known as Sanford was standing
on the steps so as to obstruct the door, when
Woods asked the man to move and let him
pass.
Instead Of doing so, Sanford cursed Woods
and told linn he would kill him. but Woods
| replied, | don't want any fuss with you. The
! language of Sanford became SO abusive that
Woods struck him; it was not resented by the
other man at the time. Woods then went in
company with another named Berlin, to
the corner grocery, where he was followed by
Sanford. who bantered him to come out, say
ing
Il win Kill Ycu.''
Woods paid no attention to his threats, upon
which Sanford began to throw bricks at
Woods, who was in the grocery. Woods then
came out to defend himself and the men be-
came engaged in fight, when Sanford, draw
inga
White Handled Spring Knife,
measuring four inches in the blade, dealt
Wood blow in the left side Of the abdomen,
inflicting severe wound. Sanford then ran
away, and succeeded in making his escape
Woods was conducted to the Charity Hos
pital, where DR.. Snythe attended him and
pronounced the wound dangerous. A reporter
of the BULLETIN visited the hospital, where |
he found Woods lying in critical condition,
having cut about three inches in length on |
the left side and just below the false ribs.
Woods was suffering very much, and could
scarcely speak, having to stop every moment
to catch his breath. He is not expected to
live many hours, as the internal hemorrhage
5 excessive.
His statement agrees with the above, which
vas cleaned from different witnesses All
parties engaged were negroes.

A R0yal Funeral i'm Africa.

| When King Of Unyon dies, it is not the
custom to put him in the grave until the sue
cessiCn to the vacant throne has been decided.
His sons must fight for the royal power and
| the civil war en.ailed sometimes lasts for
years. Meantime the deceased King lies I'M
buried. Immediately upon his death, his
body is laid out upon framework of green
wood, constructed like huge gridiron, and
is dried over a slow fire. When reduced to
the condition OF a mummy the body is
wrapped mp in new bark-clothes, and laid in
state In a large house erected especially for the
purpose. Here it reposes while the contest
ants are fighting for the succession.
As soon as victory has decided in favor of
one Of the parties, the fortunate son visits the
hut where his fathers body awaits sepulture,
and, approaching the CORPSE sticks his spear
upright in the ground, and leaves it thus near
the right hand Of the body. The son now
assumes the regal state, and, as his first duty,
superintends the funeral of his father.
An immense trench is now excavated, cap
able of holding several hundred people, and
is neatly lined with fresh bark-cloths. A
number Of the wives Of the dead King are
then seated together at the bottom of the pit,
SO as to bear upon their knees the body of the
defunct. The night before the funeral, the
King own regiment, or body-guard surround
dwellings and Villages, and seize their inmates
as they leave their doors IN the morning.
These captives, consisting of men and women
Unfortunately, are conveyed to the brink
of the pit, where their legs and arms are
broken with clubs. Thus disabled they are
pushed into the pit, on the top Of the dead
king and his living wives.
horrible din of drums, horns, fageolets, |

bystanders, browns the shrieks of the misera-

shoveled and stamped down by thousands Of

the entombed victims to force their way, as
their limbs have been broken to render them
helpless and prevent their escape. At length |

METHODIST MISSIONS.

PREACHERS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Pursuant to adjournment the General Missionary
Committee met with the Methodist preachers yesterday
morning in Washington square Methodist Episcopal
church, and the united company, together with
number OF friends present, addressed by Bishops
James, Foster and Simpson. Bishop James merely
made few Introductory remarks touching the i'm
portance Of the denominations missions at home and
abroad. Bishop Foster being called out spoke gen
cral terms, not much about missions, though that
was the underlying thought Of his remarks, about
the conversion Of the world, which he believes to be
the problem Of the Church to-day. This work. he
said, be done by the Church. God is always
ready and ready to-day ever, and the question Is
simply How shall We educe the power Of God for this
end, The Church being the medium by which He shall
accomplish this work2 In speaking Of ideal Chris
tians, he asked the question:
''wHAT is Az IDEAL cHRIsTIANfn
One that according to Christs standard, will be

God wants. All hS energies concentrated IN doing
