JOHN McCLELLAND APPOINTED CHIEF OF POLICE.
Mayor Monroe yesterday put an end to the public
suspense by appointing his Chief Of Police. This
was Mr.. John McClelland, late Deputy Street
Commissioner for the Second District, under MIR.
Fiechier. No other appointments were made.
Mr. G. was sworn in, and will probably enter upon
the discharge of his duties to-day.
"FLY TME."-St. Charles street may at all sea
sons be taken as the thermometer or gauge OF New
Orleans life. The present duilness Of the town is
as faithfully shown By St. Charles street as ever its
surge Of business and gaiety was in the winter
time. Think of the Phoenix, and Dick Murphy's,
and sam.s remaining for hours at a time without
solitary visitor, and the barkeepers falling asleep
for want of company Gus Richards. next to
sam,s. has closed his house for the summer, and
opened house at Biloxi, where his friends may
this summer find him, fourishing " like green
bay tree.n We expect lots Of the firemen will go
over to see him. Mcclure (Sam) intends closing
his famous house on the 1st proximo. After that
all of St. Charles street. from Commercial Place TO
poydras. will be the game Of Dave Bidwell and
Dick Murphy From present appearances we
think they will have slim picking-but they'll make
M for it next winter.

Mr. Driver refused to come down. and ofs.red
bloody defiance to Mr.. Starter. The latter finding
that language was impotent called two other ou.

omnibus and pull the drunken man down. They
climbed up seized the drunken driver. and endeav
ored to pull him off his seat The latter. though
quite tight had all his muscle on hand and def,ed
them with his physical strength. as he had ,5ef;ed
the starter with his words. AS they struggled with
him. (rare sight, fight on the top Of an omnibus.
in the hot sunshine, heat about 100 degrees Fab.
renheit) he struggled back, knocked one Of them
over, nearly breaking his neck and then the other
assailant retired without waiting to be knocked
over. No one else could be found to mount the
omnibus and undertake the feat of removing the
drunken and defiant Hercules who held the reins.
Authoritative orders, polite persuasion, and
physical force, having failed to unseat the drunken
Jehu, artiHce was resorted to. He was invited TO
come down and take whisky cocktail a
brandy smash at the Gem or the Sazarac. All the
liquors in those famous establishments were men-
toned in the most blandishing terms Of persua-
sion but the Jehu told them 70 90 TO III with
their drinks, and remained glued to his seat. He

The artdce OF treating to drinks having failed,
another one was resorted TO. One OF the defeated
drivers, who had attempted to dislodgethe drunken
driver, shook his fists at him, called him dirty
dog and bloody coward, and swore he would
thrash him out Of his skin if he dared to leave his
seat and come down in the street and fight him.
