PARISH EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The Executive Committee of the parish of Orleans met in the hall of the House of Representatives on Saturday, the fifth in­stant, at twelve o’clock, pursuant to ad­journment. Thirty-four members answered to their names.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read, and, on motion of Mr. Thomas Isa­belle, were corrected so as to read “Fri­day” instead of “Thursday,” and then adopted as corrected.

Reports of committees being next in order, the committee on the conduct of the elections rendered a partial report. A mo­tion prevailed to take a recess of half an hour to enable the committee 4o complete and return a full report.

The receSs having expired, the meeting was called to order, William H. Green, first vice president, in the chair. The roll being called, thirty members answered to their names.

President Dibble having taken the chair, the following report was presented by the committee on the conduct of the elections:

F IR S T W ARD.

The First Ward has two clubs, each -claiming to be the mother ward club; it appears from evidence on file, that, at the election for officers, held on June 5, 1871, Mr. Thomas Isabelle received the largest number of votes for president of the club, whereupon Mr. Miller started another club, andwhereupon Mr. Miller started another clul caused himself to be elected president.

Your committee are, therefore, in favor of recog­nizing the club of which Ur. Isabelle is president, •nil A. Frilot, secretary, as the true mother club.

SECOND W ARD.

The Second Ward has two clubs, each of which claims to be the mother ward club. From the evi­dence on tile, you:- committee have decided to re­cognize as the true mother club that presided over by Mr. C. F. Glaudin.

T H IR D W ARD.

The Third Ward has one regular constituted mother ward club, of which ©scar J. Dunn is pre­sident, and T. M. Kavauagh, secretary.

FOURTH W A R D .

The Fourth Ward has one mother club; F. McK. Duun is president, and John W. Roxborrongh secre­tary.

F IF T H W ARD.

The Fifth Ward has two clubs claiming to be mother ward clubs. From evidence on file it is proven that the club presided over by Mr. J. C. Kuebler, is the regular mother club of the ward.

SIX TH W ARD.

The Sixth Ward has two clubs, each of which claim to be the mother club. From evidence pro­duced before the committee it is proven that the club of which Mr. F. P. Benedict is president, and A. Caplo is secretary, should be recognized as the true mother ward club.

SKVKNTH W A R D .

The Seventh Waril has two clubs claiming to be mother ward clubs. From statements on file, your committee are convinced that the club of which H. L. Key is president, and W. H. Green secretary, is the true mother club of the ward.

■ IG H T H W ARD.

The Eighth Ward has one mother club, of which E. V. Leclere is president, and F. Barthelrmy secre­tary. v

N rH T H w a r d .

The Ninth Ward has two clubs, each of which claim to be the regular mother ward club. From evidence brought before the committee, wp recom­mend the recoguitioa of the club presided over by Mr. W. C. Kinsella as the regular mother ward club.

T R X T H WARD,

The Tenth Ward has two clubs, each claiming to be the mother club of the ward, one of which John H. Bowen is president, and one with Battle Payne as president. On the fifteenth day ot May 1871, the regular mother club from the last cam pa.gn adjourned, for aa election of officers, to the twenty-second of the same month.

Mr. Battle Payne, unauthorized by the old mother club or any other authority, held an elec­tion on the seventeenth day of May, and elected officers, while the regular election for officers, ac­cording to the call with the,.regular roll of the Tenth Ward, was held on the twenty-second of Slay, 1871, when John H. Bowen was elected president and Mr. William H. Burroughs, secretary. We, therefore, recommend that the club of which John H. Bowen is president, which meets a t the comer of Fulton and St. Mary streets, be declared the regu­lar mother club of the Republican party in the Tenth Ward, and that the election of delegates to the State Republican Convention be held as advet- tised by the president of said club, at Miles’ School house, comer Josephine street, at the Intersection of Fulton street, from 2 P. M. to 8 P. M.,on Monday, August 7,1871.

K L K V IX T H W ARD.

The Eleventh Ward has only one organized Re publican club, of which Ed. Williams is president aud John Flowers secretary. This club meets on Sixth, between St. Patrick and St. David streets. We recommend that this club be declared to be the regular Republican Mother Club of the Elev­enth Ward.

4 TW K L FTH W ARD.

The Twelfth Ward has two clubs, each of which claims to be the motherclub. After examining the history and claims of each, we have come to the conclusion that the club now presided over by Paul Bruce has no claims to entitle it to be desig­nated the mother club. We are satisfied th a t the club of which D. V. Woodruff is president, and John Moyian is secretary^ is the regular Repub­lican Mother Club of the Twelfth Ward. I t meets on Marengo, near Magazine street, and we recom­mend that it be so declared and recognized by the Parish Committee.

T H IR T K K S T H W ARD

The Thirteenth Ward has only one club claiming to be the mother club. J. B. Gandet is president. This club meets on Valence street, between Chest­nut aud Camp streets. We recommend that it be declared the regular Republican Mother Club of the Thirteenth Ward.

VOTTRTKRNTH W ARD.

The Fourteenth Ward has but one club claiming to be the mother club. Madison Brown is presi­dent. This club meets in Robinson’s church, two squares above the Foucher property.

P iF T R B N T H W ARD.

The Fifteenth Ward has two clubs claiming to be the mother club, From statements and evidence

Sresented to us, we find that the club of which enjamin Buchanan is president, aiul C. P. Ames

is secretary, is the regular mother club of the Fif­teenth Ward, and we recommend that the parish committee recognize and declare this to he the reg­ular Republican Mother Club of the Fifteenth WArd. The club meets a t the comer of Boniface and Jackson streets.

In order to insure a fair election in the different wards throughout this parish for delegates to the State Convention, your committee recommeud the adoption of the following resolution, and earnestly entreat all true Republicans to sustain the regular mother clubs in their respective w ards:

Resolved, That the president and secretary be instructed to give notice in the Now Orleans Re­publican of the location of the mother ward clubs, their officers, and the hours of election, on Mon­day, August 7.

The report of the committee and resolu­tion appended thereto were unanimously adopted.

The committee on rules presented a re­port, the reading of which, on motion of Mr. William Vigers, was dispensed with, and ghe consideration of the report laid over until the next meeting.

The following resolutions, offered by Mr. Bechtel, wer ̂adopted:

W hereas At a meeting held August 3, 1871, by the State Central Executive Committee, the follow­ing resolutions have been adopted by the Fifth Ward Club:

Resolved, That the President of the State Com­mittee be and he is hereby authorized to secure a suitable meeting place for the assemblage of the State Convention, to be held on the ninth day of August, 1871, in this city, and give public notice of the place so secured on or before Tuesday morning, the eighth of August, 1871, through the columns of the New Orleans Republican, and other city pa­pers, and the delegates elected are hereby notified to attend and respond to the notice of the Presi­dent upon the day of meeting.

By Mr. Ray:Resolved, That only those who are returned as

delegates to the Convention, according to the re­turns forwarded to the President of the ExecutiveCommittee, and to those who may contest the seats of such delegates a s may be shown by evl- denoe presented to the President of the Executive

at a time when the powers of the present State Central Committee will have expired by

Committee, and the members of the present Exe cutive Committee and their Secretary, shall be ad­mitted to the hall of the Convention until after the permanent organization of the Convention, and that the President of the Central Executive Com­mittee be authorized to prepare tickets and a list of the persons to be admitted, and submit the same to this committee on Tuesday evening the eighth instant, for their action.

And whereas, It is now clearly apparent that said Executive Committee has not only exceeded its powers, bnt usurped powers which can only be exercised by the members of the convention, and

esent State j limitation;

andWhereas, The facts are patent that it is the in­

tention of the members comprising the sub-execu­tive committee, of whieh S. B. Packard ia chair­man, to fraudulently pack said convention, as may readily be inferred from the resolutions introduced by Mr. Ray, in the interest of a ! small clique, com­posed of a few federal officeholders and malcon­tents, who are usitig their utmost energies to role or ruin the Republican party of Louisiana, be it

Resolved, That we, the regularly oraititsted delegation of the parish of Orleans, in committee, enter our solemn protest against the action of the State Central Committee as anti-Repuhlican and a usurpation of rights solely belonging to the people in convention assembled.

Resolved. That the Executive Committee of tho Parish of Orleans prepare a statement of all the facts’which are necessary, to show that some of the federal office-holders of Louisiana, who are members of the State Central Committee, have contributed their best efforts to disrupt, demoralise

tho Republican party of this State;id disorganise th > it further Resolved, That (Resolved, That certified copies of the resolutions

offered by Mr. Bay be sent to the National Execu­

tive Committee of the Republican party, at Wash­ington, namely:

1. Tbe resolution calling a convention, and in which the place ef meeting was purposely omitted.

2. The resolution of August 3. 1371, creating 8. B. Packard a committee on credentials, with power to decide who are ihe bona fide delegates, and who are the contestants; all of which is to be done be­fore a meeting of the convention—which is to be a private affair, as tickets of admittance are re­quired.

J. D. O’Connell presented the following resolutions, which Mr. William H. Green moved to table.

The motion to table being lost, the ques­tion recurred upon the adoption of the reso­lutions, and was carried.

Wherbab, The State Centmi Executive Commit­tee of the Republican party of the State of Louisi­ana, contrary to the rules governing and preroga­tive* vested in all conventions aud deliberative assemblies, pretend : o the unwarrantable and un­precedented assumption of receiving the creden­tials, and thereby constituting themselves judges of tbe election returns and qualifications of the delegates to the convention; and

Whereas, The said committee, in order the more easily to control and manipulate the convention, and thereby perpetuate their own power, which power has been grossly abused by said committee, and more especially by the president and corre­sponding secretary of said committee, S. B. Pack­ard and P. F. Her wig, in garbling the resolution of the committee talling-a State Convention, by omit­ting in the publication of the resolution the par­ticular time aud place of meeting; and

Whereas, The said committee has encroached upon the rights and privileges of the peeple of the parish of Orleans, and of this committee, by desig­nating a day for the election of delegates to tbe State Convention, and thereby and otherwise a t­tempting to suppress the right of the people to elect their own parish committee; and

Whereas, The duty of designating a day for the election, being a strictly local matter, belongs solely aud exclusively to the parish committee; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the commissioners of election in each of the wards of the city oi New Orleans shall make duplicate certificates of election for the can­didates receiving the highest numbetof votes, said certificates to be marked "original" and "dupli­cate," countersigned and attested by the presi­dents a id secretaries of the mother ward clubs, the’duplicates” to lie delivered by tht) commissioners

of election, in tbe presence of the presidents and secretaries of the mother clubs, to the president ofthe State Central Executive Committee.

Resolved, That the "original” be delivered to the delegates elect, to be by them presented to the convention as tbe credentials proper.

Resolved, That the delivery of the “duplicates” to the President of the State Committee be consid­ered of no further or greater validity than tor its information of the choice of delegatefhy the peo­ple, aud in no manner to be construed as conceding to tbe said State Committee the right to deter­mine, or in any manner decide who are tho duly elected delegates, that being a sovereign right ex­clusively reserved by the people, and to be deter­mined by them through the con vest ion.

Resolved, That we view the attempts of theState Central Committee to constitute itselfiudgi of the elections, returns and qualifications or tne delegates to the convention as a gross attempt to usurp the rights and privilege* of the convention, to enable them to reject the chosen representatives of the people, and foist into the convention those with whom they hope to be able to barter for a perpetuation of power.

Resolved,' That the said committee, by its at­tempt to suppress the people’s rights ia the parish of Orleans, to elect their own parish executive committee, is no longer entitled to, nnd has ut­terly forfeited, the confidence of the Republicans of this parish, and of this committee.

Resolved. That as the direct and immediate rep­resentatives of over twenty-five thousand Repub­lican vaters m the parish of Orleans, we denounce and condemn, as an unpardonable breach of trust and unmitigated treachery to the Republican

ng for aconvention. and that the president and corresponding secretary of said committee are especially unworthy of any future positions of trust or confidence in the Republican party, inas­much as they, being the custodians of the records of the committee, can alone be held responsible for this breach of faith.

Resolved. That recognizing the State Central Executive Committee as the legitimate supreme head of the party in the State, we desire that it shall be composed of men of undoubted integrity, and fair dealing, incapable of creating dissension aod division in our ranks, and to tills end we appeal to our own constituents, and to the Republicans throughout the State, to instruct their delegates to the convention to root out, if not all, at least those of the present State Committee, as have be­trayed the trust reposed in them fay the people, and have taken advantage of their positions to turn dis­organize rs in our ranks to enhance their own private personal ambition, and we further ask the people to instruct their delegates to present their creden­tials to the convention, the only proper authority to receive and pass upon them, and to deliver au­thentic copies of the same to the President of the State Central Executive Committee, as a record of information for said committee.

The following resolution by Hon. P. B. S- Pinckback, was adopted:

W hereas, It has been public!' stated that the Republican party in this State has been divided, ana that they are about to hold more than one convention

Resolved. That we, the Parish Committee of Or- leans, deny these assertions and charge the-dele­gates who are to be chosen on Monday next, to ab- tend a t such place as may be designated by the 6late Committee for the meeting of the convention, there to remain as representatives of our party.

The following resolution, by Mr. Fred­erick A. Johnson, was adopted:

Resolved, That b o election for officers of clubs, delegates to the Parish Executive Committee, the State Central Executive Commit’ee, or the dele­gates to the nominating convention, will he ac­knowledged, unless regularly elected at the speci­fied mother ward club Duiiding or hail of their re­spective wards.

It was ordered that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the New Or­leans Republican: after whieh the commit­tee adjourned, to meet Tuesday, August 8, at twelve o’clock M., in the hall of the House of Representatives.

St. John tie Baptist.The Parish Executive Committee of the

parish of St. John the Baptist met bn Wednesday, the second day of August, 1871. George W. Combs was elected as delegate to the State Convention. Mr. Combs is a friend and exponent of Governor Warmoth.

New Bice. ,The following from Mr. James Wood,

agent for the Empire Parish SSteam Rice Mill, explains itself:

I send you a sample of twenty-one bar­rels of new rice grown in the parish of Plaquemines, on the farm of F. Buras.

The rice was hulled and polished at the Empire Parish Steam Rice Mill, Pointe-a-la Hache. It is bright and well milted, though somewhat broken, as is common with new rice.

Last year the first lot of the new crop, consisting of ten barrels, came to hand on the tenth of August. Of that lot three bar­rels classed prime, and brought eleven cents. In 1869, the first lot, numbering five barrels, was received here on the twelfth of August, classed prime, and was sold at ten cents. The year previous six barrels ot the first new rice made their appearance in this market on the tenth of August and brought eleven cents.

On many farms harvesting has already commenced, but in two weeks from'now it will be well under way. The ears are gen­erally well filled and quite heavy. With warm, bright, sunny days to cure and stack the grain, the crop would be a tffrge one. Rice often suffers greatly from heavy storms of wind and rain at this season o'f the year. It is beaten down to the ground, the seeds are shed and rotted by moisture. Very little rice will be marketed'ber'ore the first of September.

Reopening of the Crescent Hall.— There was a very large crowd attracted last night on the occasion of the reopening of that favorite billiard and refreshment saloon—fhe Crescent Hall, corner of St. Charles and Canal streets. Being among the number, we could not but be surprised at the magnificent establishment which has been made out of the unsightly old building which formerly disgraced the most valuable corner in the city. It was really an inspira­tion of genius which must have prompted Colonel Walter Merriam when he eoneeived l£e idea to transform a rambling and un­profitable old pile of brick and mortar, which resembled a barrack, into one of the most elegant buildings, architecturally, in the city, and to utilize its hitherto almost worth­less interior by making it the largest billiard room in the world. And like all good ideas’ it has paid. The Crescent is the headquar­ters of billiard players, and deserves to be.

The possibility of getting pianos and organs which can afford satisfaction and at the same time be had at a reasonable price, has long been doubted. It will be seen th at Philip Werlein, Nos. 80 and 82 Baronne street, has solved this problem, offering these musical instruments at far less rates and of as good material as at other places. Money can be saved by the purchase of either a piano or aa organ, the piano being of excellent tone and the organ ol superior power. But a visit to the warerooms would amply repay the time and attention given, and satisfy any one of the truth of these assertions.

Religious Notice.—Divine services will be held to-day in Ames Methodist church, on St. Charles street, commencing at 11 A. M.—Rev. J. C. Hartzell. pastor.

An American shipmaster, -who has studied the subject, says that with American mechanics and American material “we can take the English Lloyd’s rules and reduce them twenty per cent, and build a ship stronger, more durable, and consequently more seaworthy, than can be built in any part of the united kingdom.”
