Regents of the White Shield.

Washington conclave, Regents of the
White Shield, will meet tonight in Mag
nolia hall, on Third avenue between
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets.
This is the organization that was origi-
mated in Birmingham, and is composed
of ex-union and ex-Confederate soldiers,
and has for it's object the maintenance
of white supremacy and Caucasian reg
nancy. 1t bids fair to become a potent
factor in the settlement of this great
question, and will doubtless number in
it's membership many thousand patriotic
citizens. The order is non-sectional.
non-sectarian and non-political and has
for its motto, patriotism, philanthropy
and protection. Washington conclave
charter is still open. Those desiring to
become members should be at the meet
ing tonight.
