NOTICE.

TO THE VOTERS FOR REPRESENTATIVE
IN CONGRESS AND FOR ELECTORS r II
PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES In THE STATE
OF LOUISIANA.
The undersigned having. been designated
and appointed by the Hon. W. u. Woods. United
States Circuit Judge for the Filth circuit. to
State under the provisions Of titleXXVI. Revised
Statutes of the United States. hereby give notice
that said court will be opened on the eighteenth
day Of August next and remain open until and
inclusive Of the eighth day Of November next.
All appicantious for the appointment Of su,
peryisOrs will be made to u. A. Wooliisy. Chief
Supervisor at his office in New Orleans.
The purpose Of the law is, as far as possible.
to give to each citizen entitled to register and
vote in said election the free and unembarrasse
opportunity so to do. regardless Of his political
opinions and preferences, and. also. regardless
of his race or color.
TO this end it is required by the law hat the
su upervisors shall be selected. one from each
political party. and that they shall be residents
of the city, town or parish. and who are able to
read and write the English language
TO answer fully the purpose OF their appoint.
ment. it is necessary that they shall be men OF
unimpea hably good standing for integrity. i'm
BY their presence. without more. will restrain
any undue influence and Ieaye to each voter the
fee and unrestrained privilege of casting his
vote for the men and measures he may deefn
most promotive of his own and his eountry's
good. As the court must necessarily rely upon
the recommendation of tho chief supervisor 10
the first instance for the names of suitable pr
sons to be appointed supervisor, and he. in
most instances, must rely upon the recommen-
dation Of others. tits suggested as the most sat
isfactory mode OF procuring the names OF suit
able persons, to be forwarded with the applica-
ton that the chairmen of the executive com
mttees OF the two political parties in the city
| town or parish join in the recommendation Of
! such persons as they may deem bes qualified
| properly to discharge the duties required OF
| such supervisors.
This Is the course heretofore pursued In Mis-
sissippi. which was found to work well.
1 hope that no good citizen, who may be ap-
pointed as supervisor, will decline to act and,
| In conclusion permit me to express the desire
| that all will respect the rights and privileges
! of others. as they desire and require their own
| to be respected.
| RI this b pc shall be realized no just COM
| plaint will be made in regard to your coming
| Federal election.
| Editors throughout the State will confer a
| favor by giving this communication place In
| their respective papers. r. A. HILL,
United States District Judge

The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-08-14

Reeves's death, as related by an eye
witness, occurred as follows: Reeves,
commanding forty-eight mounted mon.
fell into an ambush, but managed to
retire after a few volleys had been mu.
tually exchanged, but being pursued
and seeing the enemy stronger In force
than his own command he ordered his
men to separate, when ne altered MS
comrse and fell into another ambush
and was badly wounded in, the neck
and arm. He, however, kept on, but was
closely followed by mulatto who was
his servant at the beginning OF the war,
but who had lately passed oyer to the
enemy. The mulatto contrived to give
him some slashes with machete and
then only Reeves fell from his horse.
The account Of his death given BY the
Spanish newspapers Is quite different
from the above and is incorrect. e.
