Preparations Made for Torturing the Muir.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept 20. - The lead
ing colored men of the city held q
secret meeting last night. and at 1:15
with the resolutions passed. A committee
was appointed to call on the Governor and
ask for troops for protection against the
reign OF terror existing in Jefferson parish
on the outskirts of the city. A mass
meeting Of ell colored citizens of the
State has been called for Monday in this
city. and. from the indications, serious
trouble may be expected. Jefferson parish
has been declared under martial law by
its residents. The sheriff, judges,
State Senators and Representative
are the leaders of the regulators. together
with all the other " hlte officials. 1t is i'm
possible to learn what is now going on. or
whether the murderer Julian has been
captured or burned ct the stake. The
limo OF sentinels along the city
boundary fired several shots last night at
persons who would not half. 1t is believed
that the state troops will be called out.
Many white women from Jefferson have
come to the city for refuge. Bloodhounds
from the penitentiary were let loose this
morning where it is thought the murderer
is hiding.
Preparations for the negro's execution.
when caught, have been made On the
exact spot where Judge itstopinal fell and
died an iron stake has been driven
INTO the ground, to which he will
be tied. Fat pine and rosinous materials
surround this. Long irons like branding
irons are in readiness. and when red hot
the man will be tortured with them while
the fire underneath him burns. A rude
gallows tree above the pyre has been
built from which the murderer will be
suspended over the fire. The description
of these preparations will undoubtedly
cause the Governor to mass the troops in
the neiahborhood.
