relation thereto:
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-05-19

E12. Resolved, That au executive ward COM
mittee of - property owners from each
ward of this city be appointed By the Presi-
dent, or elected, as this meeting may deter
mine, who shall be charged with the organiza-
ton of their respective wards, under these
resolutions.
Is. Resolved That the executive ward COM
mittees shall organIzs their several wards on
next Tuesday, 25 inst. at P. NJ, giving due
publicity to their proposed places of meeting.
Mr.. Jacob Muller presented a series OF
resolutions, providing for committees in each
ward of the city, list of working men, their
occupation, and the number of days they had
been employed during the last three months;
his object being to show the relative position
of landlord and tenant.
The resolutions were received and laid over
for consideration until the next meeting.
Aftez some discussion it was decided that q
committee of five, including the President,
should be appointed to draft constitution
and bylaws, and the following named gentle
men were appointed: Messrs. J. D. Hill,
chairman; B. R. Forman, D. P. Scanlan, DR..
Tebault and Archibald Mitchell, Esq.
The meeting was then adjourned until
Monday next, at which time the committee

been securing at higher figures, and on the
ether hand frighten honest holders, and in
duce them to sell their old bonds for song.
Then, when this has been accomplished, the
courts will of course decide the validity OF
such bonds as those issued as per list pub
ished.
Among these are bonds which have passed
through several conventions without their
va idity being questioned and the game will
have been played, the ring coming forward
and receiving sixty cents on the dollar for
what this bad faith of the State to the mass OF
her creditors will have enabled them to pur-
chase at twenty to thirty cents, if not lower.
The operation may be very clever, but is
nevertheless shameful one to be allowed by
State government. Is it creditable in order
to enrich few spectators and ring to rum
still more those who held the bonds OF the
State Of Louisiana as permanent Investments,
or for the interest Of SUGGESTIONS, minors,
orphans and widows?

and then the sheep There was Vermontsr
on hand competing With Col. Alexander
Campbell, and his sheep were remarkably
tine and IN good condition, having been on
pasture near Houston for nearly a month
The Colonel carried off the prizes, however,
and the Vermonter was so incensed that when
the red ribbons were tied on his sheep he
tore them off and dashed them away.
The military were out in force from Calves
ton and Houston drilling for prize, which
was beautiful sword. It was carried off Lv
the Travis Rifles
Last, but not least, come the veterans
whom have touched on lightly before. The
San Jacinto brand is considered the best, and
lucky is the man who can class himself under
that head. The "noblest old Roman of them
all " was elegantly attired in full suit Of
buckskin, and gave q cheerful tone to the
surroundings. OF him and of the venerable
old lady, whose claim to having borne the
first white child on Bolivar Point is sub
stantiated, JEFF. Davis took especial notice,
and they were happy.
The Texas Press Association was in session.
and was fortunate enough to form the &C.
quaintance of Mr.. A. L. Darnall, editor OF
the Sherman Patriot, an Independent Re-
publican paper. I found him to be most
courteous gentleman, and we chatted pleas
antly of the situation here and in Louisiana
He expressed himself as being particularly
pleased with meeting with representative of
the BULLETIN, the conduct of which paper,
although differing from his political senti-
ments, he admired much. As the Hssocia-
ton had been invited to go across the
Bayou aud inspect the working of the Piis-
modal Railway, he asked me to go along.
which l cheerfully did, as it had been my
greatest desire to see this wonderful concern.
The rail is solid wooden prism, capped
with iron, and flat for about two inches
across on which the traction wheels move.
The axles of the running wheels, of which
there are pair on each side, ex .ctly opposite
each other, are placed at an angle of forty
five degrees. The wheels near the base of
the prism have very wide fauges, and those
near the apex, just on each side of the
driver, are rounded on their edges and act
merely as guiders 10 going round curves. The
engine was perfect little beauty, and with q
car attached crowded with ladies and gentle
men, dashed along at the liveliest kind of
rate, and making a sudden curve with the
greatest ease. 1t is undoubtedly great in
vention and will meet with deserved success
Mr.. Crew, the inventor, informed me that it
was in successful operation in Philadelphia,
Chicago and San Francisco, and he is now
building one in this State, from Hockey to
Montgomery, distance of sixty miles.
