" Honorable " o9nnon 4 dsa Rs i Nev orleans:

eseal duties as Mayor Of the City Of Jew Orleans,
becoming that should tender, as now do, to my
my grateful acknoWled ganents for the

enter the discharge Of those duties with
fidence; but Irely dence upon
TIE and public spirit of the community, to
sastain and cooperate with me in maintaining the
public peace, good order, and general welfare Of the
Ihe new charter enacted by the last Legislature

however to indulge the hope that the election Of
j officers shortly to be made by you, gentlemen Of high
character intelligence, energy and Industry, will be
aleeted to Gil the important posts, upon the faithful
administration of which depends TO 50 great degree
Ehe prosperity of the city and the success of the
4 alres you may determine on. RE-
In organizing anew the entire police force of a city
Ike New Orleans, grave difficulties will spring up on
" every hand to eInharTass my action and expose me
40 Gensnre Such embaTTassments Ishal strive faith
juily earnestly and untringly to overcome; such
eensures shall endeayor not to merit. N popular
elamor, however loud, shall make me shrink from the
performance Of my duty with fearlessness, impart-
Atty, and whatever Of ability may possess. In APP
pointing men to office, shall to select such
as may know or as may be reliably represented to
Eae to he sober prompt Tesoute and
trustworthy shall prefer those who, from long resi-
their
habits and customs and from their ectabity,
aal seem most likely to prove ficent, and to com
1aand the confidence OF the community. Is
shall exact from them suhordination, and astrict
attention the duties assigned them. shall Ypect
she assistance Of my citizens in sustaining the
Police IN the mghtfn exercise Of authority, and in
bringing pronpty to my personal notice such official
s1elinguencies as may be committed by them. !
Recent occurrences have disclosed disposition in
aa community, III times Of political tumult and ex
element. to indulge in deeds Of violence and disorder
Although feel assured that in many instances such
have been greatly exaggerated and from
rad motives, and that the fears of large class Of
saaloH citizens have been unnec ssariY excited,
deem it my duty to express in this public manner my
5Re1ible SO far as lies III my power to
preserve order, and to meet promptly, and to quel at
Al hazards, any such disturbance Of the public tran
GUILTY..
New Orleans are entitled to receive the protection of
ahe police of the city and it shall be my constant
snaeyor to exact from all my subordnates their best
services in afording such protection But it IS in
vain to expect that public order will be maintained
unless the people themselves manifest that obedience

no counsel the commission OF acts of violence to
aFea to the worst preudices Of classes in moments
political excitement, and to attempt to array one
portion of the community in an attitude of hostility
DO smother; to recommend the disregard Of the
solemn innnetons of the law, and the open violation
d the statutes Of the State. under the preence of
selreing to exhort men to go armed,
aannot fail to lead to scenes of outrage and wrong,
to cty and utterly subgersiye of alIs
Gnsity of life and property Such counsels merit the
aHanalified condemnation of all good men, and, I
cannot hut believe, will fall UNDECIDED upon the cti
sEens of New Orleans.
II will be your duty in pursuance Of the proyis.

te people have selected for the performance Of this
duty, cannot fail to inspire the community with en-
ae eonfd ence that tbs policy Of reform 50 well be-

Elnaed to a lsuccessful termination. suE
II feel every confidence that you will adopt such
malicious measures as will conduce to sustain at all

pleasure to extend to you hearty cooperation.
n conclusion, beg in advance to bespeak for my
vets the indugent eonsideration and my

sall 40 doubt commit many grave errors but i'm
pressed with sincere desire to promote the public
welfare Of this my beloved city with an honest in
