difficulty in choosing available men. As it is
however, they have settled very easy task
upon themselves.
We are informed that ct the nesting of
the Louisiana Relief Association yesterday
morning it was unanimously determined to
appoint committees of the leading gentlemen
of the city TO engage in personal solicita-
ton of their fellow-citizens for means to carry
on the great work Of relievi the sufsrings
in our midst. To Mr.. johnson Armstrong,
our kind-hearted and benevolent fellow
citizen and Vice President of the association.
has been assigned the duty of making the
proper selections of solicitors. As the work
of nomination and putting the right man in
the right place requires time and considera-
ton, it may be few days yet before the
names of the solicitors will be given to the
public, when the charitable and generous
will have an opportunity to exercise the be-
nevolent impulses Of their hearts.
Our fellow-townsman, Toby Hart, q
few weeks ago, received an order through
johnson Armstrong, Esq, for q stationer's
sign for the well-known firm Of Asa L. Ship
man & Sons. New York city. The Sign,
which was one of the finest ever made in this
country, was composed of books, paper. inks,
and other things connected with the sta
tionery business, executed in profile.
The following is Mr.. Shipman's reply,
acknowledging the receipt Of the sign:

arranging the group gives me the most perfect
satisfaction. Very truly, yours,

about the manner in which the census takers
are managing their. labora This is more
serious matter than many seem to think it,
and may result in such stupendous fraud as
will insure the entire defeat of the Democratic
party in the next election. It is the duty OF
every man to watch earnestly the man.
ner of procedure adopted by the Off
GERS, and endeavor to compel COM
plete and correct returns. Previous to an
election it is customary to appoint different
committees from the ward clubs, whose duty
it is to canvass their respective districts and
see that every legal voter is properly register
ed and his paper correctly made out and GER
tilted to. Now this census matter is of aa
great, if not greater importance, and it would
be well for our ward clubs to consider the
advisability Of appointing committees ia
investigate the matter and see that every man
entitled to vote is provided with census
blank, that it is properly filled and that it is
duly taken up by the officers.

while they utter their piercing alto shrieks
which, by the way, are utterly delusive, Of
