At y o'clock Mr.. ~ w. B. Vernon called

bat permanent organization be gone into,
ha Mr.. Edgar Larue was nominated as Pres

MI. Vernon, temporary Chairman, before
putting the vote, stated to those present that
was particularly desirable that the foreign
rs present should simply express through
be resolutions presented their opinions; that
hese should simply be signed and presented
the Consuls Of the several countries repre-
ented by those who participate in the meet
pg, and, that beyond this, their duty was
(othing. They were present as foreigners,
md had nothing to do with the political ques-
ions involved. All to be done was to give
enial to the dispatches sent relative to the
condition Of affairs here; beyond this, what
yer might be done by them would be wrong.

The following is the resolution, as passed:
Rssolred, That our position as foreigners
esiding and carrying on business in Louisi-
ma and subject to its laws, does not permit
IS as body to express any opinion upon the
(olitical question now unfortunately disturb
eg this city and State, or to take any part
herein, but having read telegram by Gen.
/. H. Sheridan to the Secretary of War at
Washington, stigmatizing the community of
which we form part as defying all lawful
uthority, by lending itself to murder and
Pther crimes, we hereby declaxe that the char
lcter thus given to ourselves and the vast |
lumber of honorable and law-abiding men
|nd citizens with whom we are brought into |
rally contact, is not consistent with the truth,
md is calculated to injure and degrade us in |
ne eyes of the business community at large, |
3 we'll as our countrymen at home and Of
Pociety in general. .
