The Louisiana Club.

COllOh h6fO6LlCAN.
Having seen in the Bulletin Of to-day the
charge that the Louisiana Club was com
posed of NEGRO politicians and drunkards
and that its headquarters were in vile
negro dea on Where street," we beg leave
to submit the following J;st of members:
T. B. Stamps, c. F. Ladd. George T.

ii. A: Corhin, corresponding secretary; j.
w. Quinn. treasurer. Executive commit
tee-I. 7. Allan. chairman; J. Sella Mar
tin, John Ray, William Weeks, George T.
Ruby.
That the unfIrtrrate occurrence should
be seized on by the Bulletin and commented
upon in such slanderOus manner, can only
be accounted for, by attributng to that
journal, a partisan desire to manufacture
statements against the Louisiana Club. on
the ground that it is Republican organiza-
ton; and also for the pupOse of prejudicing
the congressional committee. against Gov
ernOr Kellogg, bis appoiuteeo md officials
The members Of this club NAN find no
language to express the regret and sorrow
they feel at the unfortunate rencOntre be-
tween two men wLO up to the hour of death
were friends, and share in the shock which
the whole community feels at the sad &C.
currence. For though such an event might
have happened in any club, or even any
household, they mourn over the tragic end
of one of their members.
The above roll Of membership. Will show
that the Louisiana Club was composed
neither of negroes, IS there were many
white men members OF it. nor of drunknrds,
as many Of the highest officials OF the State
were also connected with it. The charge as
to its having met in den is abundantly
disproved by the fact that the lower portion
of house in which resided one of the best
colOred families Of this or any other city
had been kindly granted to the club,
mainly upon the ground that the member
ship consisted of such prominent men as
are found on its rolls. Aud here it should
be said that the family in no shape or form,
nor uuder any circumstances, were con-
nected with the club. The rooms having
Deen rented to the club, were under its en-
tire control.
On behalf of the club.

That Proposed Compromise.

The Washington correspondent of the St
Louis Democrat, January 26. says:
A private letter has been received by a
Senator purpOrring to set forth plan of
compromise, as proposed by the Conserva.
tives of Louisiana. While it is believed to
have been sent 10 good faith, no evidence
accompanies it to show that it is by author
ity of those for whom it speaks. 1t is re-
ceiving no consideration in any quarter,
and is not regarded as matter likely to
produce any result.
And at the sama time, the Cincinnati
Commercials:
With respect to the Louisiana compro-
mise, leading Conservative from that
State SAYS tonight that nothing that is
practicable is legal, and nothing that is le-
gal is practicable. The proposition of the
Conservatives does not contemplate the
recognition of Penn as legally elected. 1t
is preferred that Democratic Senator in
the first ward in New Orleans shall resign,
and Penn be elected in his place; that Penn
shall then be elected President of the Sem
ate. and thus become ex-oticio Lieutenant
Governor.

A DARING BURGLARY.-During Tuesday
night the tailoring establishment OF Mr.. j
b. Trapolin, No. 1l2 ST. Charles street, was
entered and robbed of $1,000 worth OF
clothing and fine cloths. Mr.. TrapOlin,
who sleeps over his shop, was aroused about
four O'CLOCK Wednesday morning by noises
in his store below, and took peep down
stairs through hole in the floor Of his
room. The light, which is always kept
burning at night, was lit, and SO far as he
could see everything was all right.
Upon rising in the morning he found that
the store had been opened as stated above,
and all the clothes which he had made to
order as we'll as numerous colts Of fine
cloth were goEe. A couple of pieces of
cloth lay in the hall and his front door
was slightly open. The entrance had
been made from the rear of the building,
by forcing shutter from its hinges. A
plank was found placed against the wall
which divides the yard Of DR.. West, whose
residence fronts on North street, from Mr..
Trapolin's place. The burglars had climbed
on top this wall by aid of plank, and
another plank was laid from the wall to Mr..
Trapolin's back gallery. They no doubt
made their exit through the front door. 1t
was altogether a very daring affair.

THE BABcoCK PEOPLE CONE TO GRIEF
There seems to be quite an objection on the
part Of the Firemen Charitable Association
to the acceptance of any assistance in ex
tinguishing fires in this city. Last Tuesday
evening the association at its meeting
adopted the following resolution on this
subject:
Hsso!red, That the Chief Engineer Of the
Department. Thomas O'Connor, be il
structed to prevent the Babcock engines
from running to fires, and if they persist, to
send them and the men working them to
prison.
In accordance with this resolution Chief
O'Connor caused the arrest of a kalinski,
John Gavney, John Lowery and NJ. Cashen,
who were il charge of the Babcock wagon,
at the First street fire Tuesday night.
These men, with their wagon and eight ex-
tinguisher=, were at work on the fire when
the department put in an appearance. The
police took the Babcock people. with their
whole clay out" to the sixth precinct sta.
ton. Yesterday the parties were arraigned
before Judge Adams, and released on bail
of 5000 each. They are to appear Tuesday
next on the charge preferred against them
by Chief O'Connor of interfering with him
in the discharge of his duties as chief engi.
neer of the fire department..
The Babcock machines are run by the
insurance companies, and it would not be
surprising if this affair led to some extern
sive litigation.

the city of Boston, to return a
fugitive slave. TIE posse furnished,
the instructions of the military COM
mandecs require several things in di.
recting the manner in which this duty is to
be performed. The posse is to be com.
manded by commissioned officer; its mill
tary character is to be preserved; it acts
through its commander as an escort to pro.
tect the marshal in the execution of his
warrants; and the order Of the marshal 60
through the military commander, who exc
cutes them it they come within the line of
his duty as commander Of military posse.
If these orders do not come within the line
of such duty, and are deemed improper or
illegal, they are not executed. The mar
shal, thus escorted and assisted. makes the
arrests in person upon the warrants he
holds, and the prisoners, though guarded
by troops, are IN the sole custody and care
Of the civil officer. This is resume of the
law and the rules which governed troops in
Louisiana, and which have been obeyed in
every instance, save that OF Lieutenant
Hodgson, who has been tried by court
martial for the manner in which he acted
outside of instructions.
In the parish of Grant and those parishes
adjoining the United States marshal had
warrants for the arrest of nearly 100 per-
sons. Every posse furnished was upon
ulstlnCC anu separate TcqA4sltAOu NC Jill.
GERS in command of these escorts received
the instructions which have been given
above, and in every instance reported
compliance with them. The territory en-
braced within the circuit in which opera.
tons were conducted from Colfax consisted
of the parishes of Grant, VIM, Catahoula,
and Rapides, with part Of Natchitoches-
a circuit of country more than sixty miles
in diameter. The length of time occupied
was more than month, the expeditions
made numerous, and at all hours by day
and night. There was only one arrest made,
and then the prisoner escaped from the
custody of the United States marshal, though
guarded by soldiers. Every effort was made
TO arrest the parties for whom warrants were
put, but each was unsuccessful. The at
tempts to make arrests were unsuccessful
because there was thorough system of
organization among the people, by which
was procured and transmitted,
and better knowledge of the country than
hat possessed by the marshal. No acts Of
violence were committed. Nothing illegal
vas attempted or permitted. The duty,
though necessarily hard and disagreea6le,
was performed in manner perfectly in
accordance with law and with orders, and
az to the number OF persons
arrested. No grounds Of complaint exist,
u have come to my knowledge at least. In
,.her portions Of the State the number OF
persons to be arrested was much greater,
