QUESTION OF CoLoRED POSTS.

Louisiana and Mississippi Veterans VIII OPP
pose the Colored Brethren.
CHICAGO. Aug. a-Among the dele cations
to the Grand Army of the Republic Ma
tlonal Encampment at Detroit which ar
rived in the city yesterday was that of the
Department of Louisiana and Mississippi.
Comrade A. S. Graham and others of the
delegations say in published interviews
that they are going to Detroit TO make an
issue on the exclusion. of negroes from the
Grand Army ranks. and they declare that
unless their demand is acceded TO they will
withdraw from the organization. They
saw they expect to have animated opposi-
ton from Northern posts. Mr.. Graham
gives the origin of the trouble as follows:
The Grand Army posts of Louisiana and
Mississippi have always refused 10 grant
charters for negro posts on the ground that
the q. A. X. Ia a social organization and has
power to restrict its membership to
those who are agreeable in social
sense to it's members. This policy was
pursued until about the time of the
death of JEFF Davis. At that time Jacob
Gray. the officer commanding the depart
meDt of Louisiana and Mississippi, was
called upon in his official capacity by the
Mayor and q number of prominent citizens
of New Orleans TO express himself in regard
to the funeral and official ceremonies. He
replied by pledging the Grand Army to as
aist in the ceremonies over the remains OF
the ex-confederate chieftain. This act not
being in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the department il refused to
take any part in the affair. Gray. angered
at the refusal of his command to obey his
orders to turn out at JEFF Davis's funeral,
said he would make it do what
was moro distasteful. namely, to
march behind negro posts which he pro-
posed to organize. In pursuance of this
threat he granted charters to nine negro
posts. and mustered in the men. This be-
ing an official act of the department
commander. these negroes are now men,
bers of the G.. A. X. But the comrades of
the departments of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi have refused to recognize these posts.
claiming they were illegally and irregu-
larry organized. The matter was referred
to the national commander and he ap-
pointed q committee of two. composed of
General Burst and Judge Austin, to IN
vestigate the condition of affairs. These
gentlemen have made their investi gatiOn,
and have prepared q report against the To-
galIty of organization of the negro posts.
and they recommend as the only solution
of the difficulty that q new muster and
thorough examination be made of the ap-
plIcant members of the cOlOred posts If
they are found to be all right they Will be
