TIE OFFICIAL MUss OPPOSITE LAFAYETTE
SQUARE Great numbers Of people assembled
around the City Hall and the First District Lock Up
yesterday morning, to witness an expected new
procedure between Mayor Monroe and Recorder
Emerson They, however, saw nothing to speak Of.
The Recorder did not, as we stated yesterday,
get an order from District Court on the Sheriff
for the arrest Of officer Frank Ames and Mayor
Monroe. We had this false information from what
we believed to be reliable source. But the Re-
corder did apply to Constable W. Il. Waters, of
the Second Justices Court for the arrest Of Arnes
The requistion on the Constable was as follows:
a= STATE or LouIsrAYA
Recorders Office Perish OF Orleans
City % ot New e Orleans, First Dirt let J
t,5,.stsbe p New Orleans md u :ts Keeper Il lie Public
whereas, +. j. A1nes stands charged before me
with committing contempt of court, in refusing
to obey its order to release prisoner when SO
directed, you, the said Constable are hereby com
manded to convey the said +. j. Anles to the prison
aforesaid, and there oliver him, with this warrant
to the keeper of the same who, thereupon is hereby
required and authorized to keep him in safe Gus
tody ten days in the Parish Prison. or until he be
discharged by due course of law.
WAI. EMERSON,
Recorder Of the First District OF New Orleans
Constable Waters expressed his willingness to
make the arrest, and started out yesterday to do
so; but Frank Ames, being sentenced to ten days
imprisonmentfo for no fault of his, had gently SUBJ
sided into some private sanctuary unknown to
perlice y and to constables.
| The Recorder made no application for the Mayors
arrest; but yesterday he sent, per his clerk, Jas.
Cofey, the following order to that gentleman:
STATE LOUISIANA,
To the Hon John II Monroe
You are hereby commanded to be and appear
before the Recorders Court of the First District,
Friday morning, the l4th inst, at 10 O'Clock to
show cause, i any you can, why you should not

structing and interfering with an officer of said

committing F. ]. Ames to the Parish Prison. dated
the 18th December, 1850; and hereby fail not.

RECORDER Of tie Ftat Dsret ST New ofisans
The Mayor, uponreceying andreading the above,
said, Mr.. Cotey it is high time to have this thing
| this nonsense, stopped.n Mr.. Cofey said nothing,
and left. "-.z~.
The Mayor remarked, as Mr.. Coffey passed out
of the office q This thing is very singular and of
fensive. am ready to 60 to the highest court in
the country, and have this whole matter decided !;
| pique and nonsense. Let it all go TO higher
court, if it can be taken; have acted throughout
/ in this matter by the advice of the City Attorney,
! and by his advice in the matter will abide. Let
the law alone decide this case, and not personal
| feelingsn
Mr.. Coffey returned and reported progress to the
Recorder, which was, that there was no progress
Somebody babbing that Frank Ames was hiding
| fap
the parish line and this coming to the ears of the
police and others, and to the Mayors ear the latter
is reported to have said that he would like to see
the constable that would undertake to arrest Ames
Ames is acting on little "personal liberty bill''
of his own and in so acting, we indulge the modest
conclusion that +" his head is square,
On the other hand, officers Josh Lipman, Bill
Carr, and Sam Grafton, (the same who undertook
to take Frank Ames to prison on the Recorders
order) have been suspended by the Mayor, and are
summoned to appear before him to-day, to show
cause, if they can, why they should not be dis
missed from the police for contempt of his
authority.
The latest rumor we heard from Fort Emerson
was that if the order sent to Castle Monroe be moi
honored at 10 o'clock this day, Emerson will take
steps to impeach Monroe before the Common
Council Monroe will certainly not appear before
| Emerson, as ordered
