From the extended reports taken from the
official minutes Of the proceedings Of the Ma
tive American Association, published in the
DEMOCRAT, the fact Is clearly shown that
the Radicals and their negro followers were
not slow in joining that organization. In fact,
1t became patent that the 1000 white natives
members Of the organization would soon be
overpowered by the rapid accession Of the
$500 colored natives who In any nominating
convention would be strong enough to dictate
tho nominations. This fear created very Sc
rious dissensons, causing many Of the orig
inal white members TO Withdraw from the N.
A. A., md seriously threatening a complete
disruption OF the order. In this emergency
the skill Of
CABTELLANOS AND CULLOM
was brought to bear, and their combined Of
forts resulted in the creation Of q new congti-
tuition, under whose provisions the supreme
power Of the order was lodged In q grand
council, who virtually controlled all nomina-
tions, This is made clearly manifest by care
fully reading the following sections Of the
new constitution:
ARTICLE VIII.
Trnrd ConnciL-Hou IO1np0srd
The Grand Council shall be composed OF six
members from each parish or ward central
branch council; four thereof to be elected hy
the branch parish or ward council, and tno 10 be
npp0inifd by The president, by aud with the con
sent and 40 vice Of the Grand Council.
ARTICLE TX.
FO1reTs Of ULe Hraud CO1suciI
The Grand Council shall pnss all lnwp for the
government OF the hssO ,ih1ion It shall select
and adopt such pags1 orde. signs Of recognition
md OF distress rs it may deem proper provided
the same passwords bs not used for u lon ger
period than six months at time. It shall also
confer members nip upon persons living in the
country, n1.d HpOn sucI. others as il ynav deem

ARTICLE x.
lnnvsntons-H He,o NnUrd
Az conventions shall be ordered bv The Grand
COn1tcsl after At least thirty days notice The
object or objects shall be stated in order, and
will be adhered to by the convention.
The main point now necessary to be OBJ
tanned WAS The occurring Of o majority in the
Grand Council Of native whites, and yet to
conduct the proceedings in such manner aB
not to excite the suspicion OF the colored ma
tves, and leave them in ignorance Of their
loss Of real power until too late 10 kick out OF
the party traces, thus repeating toward
the ignorant and oft-deuded negroes
very much the same tactics which the carpet
baggers have used to capture their solid
support at every election since reconstruction
In furtherance OF this scheme, there was
organized q secret night degree, designated
the r. W., which degree involved all
the functions assigned to the Red
Warriors, as detailed in our expose
published on Monday last, together
with the further and especial purpose OF ex-
Guiding colorcd voters from nomination 10
office, either State or municipal. This degree
Of r. W. known to the inner circle only, Is
styled among the initiated the
RIGHT WHITE.
To the ordinary member OF the N.AA.
they are known, when known at oil, as Red
Warriors. The executive members Of this
Fellows Hall. The officers in each ward, or
more properly speaking, Of each branch, are
First chief, second chief, scribe, assistant
scribe, treasurer, sergeant~at-arms.
All members must take the original oath
Of the n. A. A., which to members Of this de-
gree, under the constitution, may be admin
tered at their dOmicile. After this initiation
and when the member begins to work at the
branch, then the oath OF the r. W. rs admins
tered. He Is bound under PENALTY OF DEATH
IL,
BROTHER, SISTER Or FRIEND, ANY OF THE sE-
CIET5 OF THIS DEGREE OR ANY OF THE hCrS
or THE ORDER, AND TO SUPPORT FOR OFFI-
CES OF TRUST AND HONOR, WHITE HEN TO
THE EXCL LUSION or COLORED MEN.
When this constitution, from which we have
quoted, was adopted, the r. w s were in
minority in the Grand Council Of the n A. A.,
but President Reggs, being q member Of the
r. W., appointed the two additional mem bers,
under article eighth, from members Of the r.
