AGHOILIsm CONsPIRACY.

A startling report comes from New
Orleans. II is stated in the Times
Democrat of that city that conspiracy
has been discovered 10 rob the tomb OF
the Association of the Army of NortL-
ern Virginia ia Metarie cemetery. where
lie the remains of Hon. Jefferson Davis
Information was received by the New
Orleans authorities that gang Of Chi
csgo ghouls had organized for the ur
pose Of committing this sacrilege in the
hope that an enormous ransom would
be paid for the return OF the body.
The mere announcement of such
report should be sufficient TO arouse
the authorities Of tho Crescent City
10 the fullest vigilance, 30 a
to prevent the possibility of success on
the part Of these Chicago scoundrels.
Metarie cemetery is itself some dis
lance removed from the city, and the
tomb of the Association of the Army
of Northern Virginia is in secluded
portion of the cemetery. Unless d
careful guard is kept at the spot all the
time, especially during the night, the
villianous designs OF the ghouls may
be successfully accomplished, and the
revered remains of the ex President OF
the Confederate States be INITIATED and
desecra,ed by the polluted touch Of
Northern resurrectionists and grave
robbers.
New Orleans, to her credit be it said.
has promptly responded to the demand
male upon her for action in the matter
ard her city rulers have placed guards
around the tomb. 1t is alec PROPOSED
to enclose the casket within two i'm
mepse blocks OF granite, which will
prevent its being raised except by =
large derrick. The necessity for such
proceedings shows the imperative i'm
portance OF permanent disposition
beng made at once Of all that.is mortal
Of jefferson DAVIS, and 1t is hoped that
before long his body may be finally laid
to rest in this city, where il will lie
secure from the malicious designs Of
Northern enemies, whether Chicago
