O4ffoee There was considerable excitement
IN this city on Saturday and Sunday last, in
sequence of,he bodies of several negroes having
been found in the Bayou in the rear OF the block of
the city, bat partially buried. The first body
found was that Of a negro girl apparently from Is
TO 20 years of age, thrown u,o one of tla gullics
leading into the bayou and but partly covered over
with loose dirt While the coroner was employed
in holding the inquest further search was made
and other graves (if they be entitled to the name,
discovered. Two other bodies only were
brought 10 the view of the Coroner, both having
the appearance Of being recently inte red. II was
thought advisable to suffer the rest to remain Nm.

supposed danger attending an examination, 10 the
health the jury and the large concourse of cit-
zens present; and particularly as it was appsrent
that 40 possible gooi would be the rosult-thr Jury
also were satisfied that the deceased had not come
10 their death by violence but that their bodies
had been improperly disposed of, and in violation
of an ordnance of the city. The halfcxposed DO
dies also would have been, but Cor their timely
discovery, efficient for disease in the city
all being without collins of any description. and
a Slight rain only, being sufficient to bring them
fully TO view.
The Indignation OF the jury and of the citizens
could scarcely be suppressed ON the discovery of
the body of child about eigh months old put in
to holc, washed out by the rain it run into the
bayou, with its head downwards, and which was
only hid from view by few shovcls full of dirt.
We will not however enter farther into these dis
gushing details. 1t is painful to exhibit to the
world such inhnman and unieeling conduct on the
part even of the most hardened; and we are plea
sed to find that no citizen Of the city or state is
charged With it.

Of these traders had these bodies deposited where
they were found, TO save the expense of having
them buried by the sexton.
