Tho snub put upon tho aristocratic Essex
Troop OF Newark by the officers Of the National
Guard on tho occasion OF the troopers ball on
Friday night Is q subject Of much discussion
| in Newark.
The members Of tho troop do not feel that IL
has seriously interfered with tho prospects Of
their organization or In any way prejudiced the
public against them. There is no doubt that the
order that tho members Of the National Guard
should not wear their uniforms at the troop
ers' ball and reception to the Governor ema-
mated from Major-Gen. Plume. and he has
made no denial OF Il while making the explana-
ton OF the ground taken. He said on Saturday
evening that It was his intention to attend the
ball but he was prevented by an attack OF ton
sillitis which kept him in the house and in bed
nearly all the time from Thursday noon. He
sent his regrets with statement Of this fact
to Col Fleming on Friday morning. He said
that no orders were issued by Adiutant-Gen.
Stryker to the Division Staff When Lieut.
Frelinghuysen called upon Gen. Plume and
asked him to attend tho ball with his stan In
uniform. the General says he told him frankly
that personally he intended to attend tho ball.
