SCENE AT THE FIRsT DISTRICT LocK-Up-Iast
evening, at the hour of rocall at the First District
Lookup, when all the day officers and big crowd
OF the night officers were present, several sharp
raps Of club produced silence.
An officer stepped forward, and in terms elo-
quent, but rather confused, from the weight of the
honor thrown upon him, addressed officer Faucet
on behalf of the Bummers' Association to
which nearly all the police belong. He was inter-
rupted with stormy plaudits by the crowd, from
time to time, and cries of Hear, hearl, Con-
cluding- his speech in manner worthy of q Web
ster, he proceeded to read the following preamble
and resolutions, which had been unanimously
adopted at called meeting Of the Bummers:
GFrIcE OF rHE BuAMER ASSOCIATIONS
New Orleans, April Is, 1850
WHEREAS Daniel Busby, an officer of the city Of
New Orleans for. upwards of twenty years, ii iipf
confined to his bed from sickness, and is in iii-
gent circumstances;
And whereas, His brother officers have been
called upon to contribute their mite to his relief;
And whereas, One Hiram Faucet one of his
brother officers was called upon to render him as
sistance by contributing his mite, which he did to
the enormous and stunning amount of twenty five
cents
And whereas IT is the opinion of the members
of this Association that Hiram Faucett is no longer
a fit member of this Association for the following
reasons to-wit: l. That he is too penurious. 2.
That he chews his tobacco in too vulgar and inde-
cent manner. Therefore be it.
ResOlUed, By the members of this Association
that said Hiram Faucet be expelled from our hon
| ordble Association and his name be stricken from
our roll, and that subscription be raised by the
:" Bummers" to the amount Of 500 25c. for the
| purpose of reimbursing said Hiram Faucet, and
refunding him the amount of his aforesaid most
extraordinarily immense subscription. And be it

Resolued, That no member of this Association
shall, under any circumstances, be allowed to CON
tribute to the said fund contribution more than
one copper cent (American coin). And be it
| further
Resolred That said amount Of twenty-five cop

be encased in leather bag, and shall be- together

presented to said Hiram Faucett by a committee
appointed by this Association for the purpose.

The recipient Of these honors, who presented all
sorts of appearances during the presentation GER
emony, refused to accept the leather bag contain
/ ing the twenty-five coppers. He said, t4You're
| through, are you?" The rest of his speech, we
regret to say, was SO full of feeling and in such
strain of fiery eloquence, that feeble pen is in
adequate to the task of reporting it. 1t was sncI
a speech as is not heard every day; and after fin
shing, the orator retired, without waiting to heal
the end of the tumultuous applause and merrimen
| which it excited.
The Bummers, we should state, held their meet
ing and adopted their resolutions before they knel
that their friend, in whose behalf they manifesto
this feeling, was about to die.
