pie, and that life and property are rs
safe with us as with them. For the
truth Of which we confidently appeal to
the noble army Of Knights Templar,
from every State in the Union, who re-
Gently visited our city. That we can
not but express our surprise that any
one occupying the position Of Gen.
Sheridan should presume to such know
ledge Of his alleged important facts.
upon such brief opportunities as he pos
siblv could have during the short time
he has been in the South, and the only
excuse we find for such uttcrances is the
suggestion, that comes to us this morn
ing from New York, that this dispatch
was written in Washington and sent to
Gen. Sheridan before he left his North
crn command. That we earnestly ap-
peal to our Northern brethren, to the
Congress Of til" United States, to their
love of liberty AMI justice, to afford lis
that protection from this present VIC
lence, and from any wrong and outrage
which may follow, which, as fellow
citizens Of this great country, we have
the right to demand. That we cordially
endorse the manly and patriotic eN-
pressions of the Cotton Exchange ut
their last meeting.

read 4 telegram sent by Gen. Sheridan
to the secretary of war ut Washington,
stigmatizing the community Of which
we form 4 part rs defying all lawful
authority by lending itself to murder
and to other crimes, we hereby declare
that the character thus given to our
selves and the honorable law-abidirg
men and citizens with whom we are
brought into daily contact is not consis-

business community at large, as we'll as

INCENDIARY PLACARDs.
About $50 o'clock, this afternoon, as
ColS. r. c. Bond and r. c. Wood were
standing at the corner Of st. Louis and
Royal streets, in conversation with Gen.

GOLD and others, while large crowd
was assembled at the other side Of the
street, near the State House, q negro
was seen coming down the street with
board elevated on stick, on which
was inscribed, Remember Sept. A."
He planted this on the corner, and it
was immediately taken ont Of his hands
by white man and elevated to general
view. Coils. Bond and Wood immedi-
ately approached, divining at once the
incendiary character of the appeal, took
the board away and smashed it. A
consultation was then held between
! Mcssrs. Bond and Wood, J. n. Ogden,
R. H. Mari and other gentlemen, which
resulted in the following appeal:
Whereas, it is evident from the con-
duct Of the Radical party that their OBJ
iect is to create q disturbance in the city
of New Orleans, and that for this pur-
pose they have employed men repre-
Senting themselves to belong to the
Conservative party; and whereas, the
Republican party relies upon such 4
disturbance:
| We do hereby beg and implore all
good citizens, having the welfare Of
Louisiana at heart, to retire to the pur-
suit of their usual avocations, and not
assemble around the State House.
