G. A. r. AND THE NEGRO.
A PROTEST FROM LOUISIANA
AND MISSISSIPPI.

Several Illegal Posts in Those
states That VIII Probably he
Disbanded.-The Matter to Come
Up at Detroit.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, August 3.-Among the
delegates to the Grand Army Encamp,
ment, at Detroit, arriving here yesterday,
was that of the department of Louisiana
and Mississippi. Comrade A. S. Graham
and others Of the delegates say in pub
lished 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 de-
mand is acceded to, they will withdraw
from the organization They say they
expect to have animated opposition from
Northern posts.
Mr.. Graham gives the origin Of the
trouble 40 follows: The Grand Army
posts of Louisiana and Mississippi have
always refused to grant charters for ne
gro posts on the ground that the G. A.
K. is a social organization and has power
to restrict its membership to those who
are agreeable in a social sense to its mem
bcrs. This policy was pursued until
about the time OF the death of Jeff Davis.
At that time Jacob Gray, the officer com
manding the Department of Louisiana
Mississippi, was called upon in his
official capacity by the mavor and a
number of prominent citizens Of New
Orleans to express themselves in regard
to the Davis funeral and official ccre-
monies. He replied by pedging the
Grand Army to assist i'll the ceremonies
over the remains OF the EXConicderate
cheftain. This act not being in accor-
dance with the rules and regulations OF
part in the affair.
Mr.. Gray, angcrcd at the refusal OF his
command to obey his orders to turn out
at Mr.. Davis funeral, said he would
make it do what was more distasteiul
namely to march behind negro posts
which he proposed to organize. In pur.
suance OF this threat he granted charters
to nine negro posts and mustered i'll SOC
men. This being the official act of the
department commander these negroes
are now members OF the 6. A. K. But
the comrades of the department Louis
lana and Mississippi have ceased to rec
ognize these posts, claiming they were
illegal and irregularly organized
The matter was referred to the nationa
commander and he appointed commit
tee Of two, composed of General Bursol
and Judge Austin, to investigate the mat
ter. They have prepared report against
the legality of the organizat on of tht
negro posts and they recommend as thu
only solution OF the difficulty that new
muster of colored post be made and if
after thorough examination. they az
found to be all right, they will be ad
mitted in separate and independent dc
partments. believing, as they do, thai
mixed departments can't exist in the De
partments of Louisiana and Mississpp
to the best interest OF the Grand Army o
the Republic.

have its full effect upon future relations
between Americans and undesirable
emigrants. The swarms of Italians who
cross the Atlantic are by far the most
Objectionable of all emigrants who go to
America. The murderers will undoubt-
edly receive their deserts from the people
OF West Virginia, and it will then be seen
if Italy will demand compensation.

think that protective tariff is beneficial

the meeting was to organize i'll this state

regard to past party affiliations, but no
democrat was present or took any part

fact of John Nichols being the chairman
