omitted. The report then says:
!" The resolutions having been read,
1t was moved and seconded that they be
adopted: whereupon they were unani-
nlously adopted.
:. George Williamson, Esq, then be-
ing called upon, spoke for an hour
upon the issues Of the day. Mr.. Will
hanson in the outset Of his speech
alluded In eloquent terms to the earlier
and purer days Of the republic, to the
consecrated memories Of the past, and
to tile ties Of brotherhood and common
interest which have been so recklessly
disregarded by the North. In compar-
isoll, he INDICATED handsomely the de-
votiOn Of the South to the Constitution,
and her observance of all its obliga-
lions. And, after reviewing forcibly
and clearly the gradual process of the
causes which have rendered it inoper-
alive for the ends of its creation, advo-
Gated as the hest and only safe policy
for Louisiana independent action first,
and consultation with her sister south
ern states afterwards. Mr. Williamson $
speech was repeatedly interrupted by
the applause Of the audience"
Dr. J. II. Hunter then offered as a
resolution: I" That Maj. Robert Hodges
he requested by this meeting of his
friends and neighl,Ors to premit his
name to be used as "A candidate for the
convention to he called by the Iesisla-
ture." The resolution was unanimously
adopted, and In expressing his thanks
for the honor conferred Maj Hodges
referred to his feeble health. and stated
that he could not give positive an
swer. However. his announcement n
the Banner goes to show that he finally
looked with favor upon the suggestion
| of his friends.
Continuing the minutes read:
:" The Hon. w. i. Egan being present
was then called upon to express hi.
views upon the issues of the times.
Having prefacel his remarks b,
stating that this was no party contest
for office and. power. and that it wa.
the duty Of every patriot. no matter
what his official position, to sl,eal
freely his opinions. he, with the ahilit.
of u practical dehater and the fairness
of nll honest and allie judge. presented
very forcibly the reasons for Louisian,
taking her destiny into her own hands
The Judge suited many interesting

Found sponqes IndIaestibIe.

Boswell, Lake Merritt's popcorn pelican, died this morning when he mistook a sponge for his fayorite diet and choked to death. reports an Oak land (Cal.) correspondent.
 Boswell has been an attraction at the lake for several months. He had the freedom of the lawns and wan dered about the lake at will. Visitors discovered that he liked candied pop corn and bought it for him by the bagful. Gradually Boswell became a popcorn addict and esohewed nearly every other form of food.
 This morning Boswell crossed Grand avenue to a gasoline service station. A sponge lay invitingly on the ground where some automoDilist had dropped 1t after washing his machine. The sponge looked to Boswell like mo- lasses popcorn. With a grin of an icipation he gulped it down. Ten minutes later he was a dead bird.
