The president then announced that the
first speaker would be the Hon. William

received with applause. Mr. Burwell said:
Mr.. President and Fellow Citizens of the
South-Your presence here to night is an
evidence of the success of the grand expert
ment on which depends the progress Of the
country, and that you intend, by your
order, intelligence and fidelity. to your
principles to aid in carrying it out. l
am satisfied that your determination
will aid in making it permanent, as l
am satisfied that now, for the first
time you may approach the polls to cast
your votes safely and with respect. The
reason why peace is anticipated at this
election is because the interest Of the whole
people of the South is in it's preservation,
and If there is apprehension of the reverse
the South will suffer. Why? Because Sec
tional lines are again drawn, and it is be-
cause the c0lored people have been granted
N0ffrage that they are drawn and fortified.
IL Y6s are deprived of any of your rights,
then the South goes under. This is now
seen BY the whole of the citizens of the
South; all Cn0 country l1 00tieHoU tnAG IL IL
so. This Republican principle has been &C.
cepted; it is the law of the United States
and the decisions of the Supreme Court
which our people have accepted. The
question of your rights has been settled by
the war and by the courts. 1t is therefore
the duty aud interest of all to keep peace
and maintain the laws.
If this is settled, then the question arises
to which of the two parties it is best to
intrust the interests of the country. Now,
fellowcitizens, you have seen the legislation
of the Democratic party when in power.
So far as Louisiana and the South are con.
cerned, nothing has been done south of the
Missouri line. When the overflow occurred
Congress denied the aid necessary to build
the ievees. If the relief was granted, which
was our due, whose labor but yours would
have thrown the levees up! Whose hands
protected the interests of hundreds of fami.
lies, and who but you would have received
the wages? We have not received it. Again.

pears to be still undecided.
1t is understood that only three of the
Servian ministers favor the continuance of
the war.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Com
pany, from Semlin, says:
1t is stated in we'll informed circles that
the Servian Prime Minister, NJ. Ristics,
interviewed NJ. Kartzoff, the Russian
representative at Belgrade, on the eleventh
instant, and appealed to the generosity of
the Russian officers and soldiers to enter
the Servian army. He also asked for pecu-
mary assistance, as Servia had determined
to continue the war.
The Russian government has replied,
granting the above requests under certain
conditions. In consequence of the arrange
ment the SclavOnic commissioners in Russia
have commenced sending funds in large
amounts.

of ten reach Belgrade almost daily, pass

the Turks.
The battle was renewed on N onday. The
Servians will probably fall back to Alex

there. If the Servians win, the war will

GRAND RALLY OF REPUBLICANS
SECOND DISTRICT MASS MEETING
Enthusiastic Ratification Of the Nom
nations.
UNION, JUSTICE, CONFIDENCE

The second of the series of FIVE mass
meetings ordered by the parish campaign
committee was held last evening at Me
chanics Institute, by the Second District
composed of the fourth, fifth and sixth
wards of Orleans.
As at the previous meeting the hall was
half filed before the arrival of the ward
clubs in torchlight procession. Before that
hour those assembled were entertained by
Kellys band with several popular airs.
The meetip g was late in coming to order,
as the torchight procession had to march
from Congo equare. After eight O'Clock
the fourth, fifth and sixth wards marched
in, headed by Lamberg's band Of the Sec.
ond District. Not half could enter the
hall, even though all seats were aban-
MUM. Besides the old banner of the Fifth
Ward Central Club, "Union, Liberty and
Equal Rights" presented September 8,
1868, there were many bearing notices and
sub.club notices. The fourth ward was
especially conspicuous by its discipline and
numbers. Besides these there were hun
dreds outside who we're addressed by
Colonel James Lewis, Rev. George w.
Bryant and Mr.. j. II. Perkins. At least
1000 bore torches in the procession, and
precautions were taken to prevent their
premature burning out as on Saturday
night.
Hon. Henry C. Dibble called the meeting
to order as chairman Of the parish cam
paign committee. He stated that the next
meeting would be at the same place Sstur-
day night, and held by the Third and
Fourth Districts. He then introduced
Hon. Eugene Staes as the president of the
meeting, who was saluted with cheers.
President Staes said:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow -Citizene-I
thank you for the honor and compliment
you have paid me this evening by calling
me to preside over this vast gathering of
Republicans.
Your presence here tonight in such great
numbers indicates that you fully under
stand the emergency of the moment, and
that you are determined to employ all hon
orable means in your power to insure sue
cess to our cause. Remember that we are
contending with Q bold and unscrupulous
enemy, and that they will leave no stone
unturned to triumph; but if you are true to
yourselves and true to the party that made
four millions of freemen out of slaves. l
say that there is no such word as fail. We
have the majority on our side. All that is
required to triumph is to be brave, bold
and determined; to assert your rights, and
with the help of God and the assistance of
our great chieftain and patriotic President,
General Grant, we will in November next
achieve the greatest of all our political
victories.
The following list of officers was then
read by Assistant Secretary William Vigers
and was ratified by acclamation:

MORNING PRESS.

The Bee attributes the ward dissensions en-
tirely to the play of private ambitions seeking
to control the wards in view OF obtaining Office at
the local elections. The State and local elections
happening both at the same time. is one Of the
causes that demoralize the primaries. Those
elections should be held at different times. This.
and the abolition of frequent elections and large
fees and salaries in public offices ARE points Of
reform that should engage the special attention
of our next Legislature. f
The Republican criticises Hon. L. A. Wiltz's
defense published by Legislator" but the
criticism is specious and does not amount to
much. In an article entitled More Murder and
More Calumny" it endeavors to prove that the
Hadicals are not disposed to suscitate negro
outraees" for political effect and charges the in
dependent press with calumniating those pure
patriots. The organ attacks Mr. Bristow with
great vigor and. after getting him down, throws
mud all over him.. Bristow is an ungrateful
wretch who has insidiously slandered Grant.
and that noble soldier has kicked him out of
office and served hiH right Any movement at
reform is slur and an inuende against the
President. any virtuous action is an insult and
Grant kicks out the meddling and unfeeling
official, saying: What. do you think, because
you are virtuous. that there will be no more
cakes and ale?" -aaA
Under the heading OF THE Shyster Press, !" the
Republican attacks all those papers which, on
Sunday last. were resplendent with Mr.. How

oring to "blaekgulrd" the anti Republican press
it draws a very correct picture OF ITSELF as fol-
