and th rcm to us lo cause a dissolution of
all the while posts in tbo dislricl , which
includes Iho states of Louisiana and

mont of ttio Grand Army recognUed the
colored posts composed exclusively of
noirroos a legitimate and regular onos.
A few days ngo Captain Hedges , district
commander , was notified of this deci
sion and tlio whlto posts were called
upon lo recogni/u tliu full equality and
fellowship of the colored posts.
They mot to consider this and diH-
cusnod Ibo matter nt longlhand decided
by nn overwhelming majority that thuy
would not accept the nqgrous under

stances , bul would surrender their post
charters in preference. This will be
done at the slate * oncainpinont , which
moots February 10. when most of llio

thrown open to negroes.
