The MILITIA of New Orleans begins TO show q
marked increase in enthusiasm since the pas.

A mulgated last week in the Baton Rouge Advo-
cate. 1t has two features greatly advantageous
| to militiamen. The first of these is the Jury
| exemption clause and the second the clause
| allowing military companies to elect honorary
| contributing members. The last named feature
of the bill will have the effect OF increasing the
| revenues OF the companies to a considerable
| extent. IL is true that Louisiana does little
or nothing for the support of its militia
| but some day she will need it, as a Texan
| does his gun, and then possibly a re-
spectacle appropriation for their mainte-
nance may be provided As it is now the
| sum set aside for that purpose is 10 many cases
not sufficient to even pay the rent OF an nrmory.

about six miles OF red tape before they can get
any camp equippage at all Notwithstanding
all these obstacles. New Orleans is able to BOAST
