A CRY POLICEMAN MURDERED BY NEGRO Sol.
DIERs.-Most unhappy circumstances occurred
during the progress of the fire yesterday morning,
and after it was extingushed producing great ex-
citement in the community and Involving the death
of police officer while on duty.
There were never as many negroes congregated
about fire, as on Monday night: uever as few
who lent helping hand to work the engines. The
States uniform. Many of them engaged in the
work of pilfering and steang-nor could they be
prevented. Most of them were armed. and an at
tempt to arrest was met by call for assistance
and blow. A lot of whisky, rolled from the City
Hotel, was seized upon and hbe1 ~ drank from
by man, negroes, and some WINES, no better.
The natural consequence was a continual disturb
ance of the peace.
The disorderly scenes of the night eliminated
about sunrise in the morning. Two of the police
men had arrested negro soldier, and were con-
ducting him to the guard house. He broke from
their grasp and called for assistance. While pur-
suing him-Martin Garrity, brave ana steady
man-was shot through the neck by one ofseveral
negro soldiers, all said to be armed and equipped
He lived until three O'Clock yesterday.
Soon after the murder, Col McCaleb appeared
with company of horse, and acting in concert
with the city marshal, soon cleared the town of
negro troops.
It is but proper to say That from many quarters
we hear of the admirable conduct of Can't Kinn
ment, Adjutant OF the Post, who not merely did
all he could Individually at the fire to save pro-
perty and prevent outrage, but also by personal
GOODNESS and ntrepidity, disarmed furious negroes
and placed them under arrest We also hear that
Major Geo, D.sReynolds was of great service in
preventing further collisions.
The query naturally suggests itself: Why were
six or eight infuriated and armed United States
soldiers allowed to break away from the control
of their officer and pursue policemen through the
streets? and who is responsible for their conduct?
And we beg to add the suggestion that the quiet
and order of the city, and the avoidance of these
terrible scenes of bloodshed, can only be secured
SO long as negro troops are allowed to remain
hereby orders prohibiting every negro soldier
from coming into town except accompanied by a
commissioned officer, responsible for his conduct
and by arresting every negro who wears the U. S.
uniform, who is not an enlisted soldier. Hundreds
wear it not entitled to it; but what can citizens
do! The uniform is all they have to go by and
to be worth preserving, the uniform should pro-
teet and designate those only that the United
States direct shall wear it. Asitis, a cry from a
negro who has borght uniform brings to his aid
soldiers entitled to wear it. All carry side arms :;
and negroes in uniform, il nine casss cut of ten
cannot be identified
These are unpleasant truths, and we say them in
sorrow and not in anger.-[ Natehez tCourier l4th.

HORRIBLE Acc1DENT--A Man CIT to Pieces 6t
Railroad Cars. = About quarter-past seven
O'Clock last evening, as train of the Hudson
River Railroad cars was passing between King and
Houston streets, tho dead body of man was
found on the track literally torn to pieces Strange
to say, no person saw him struck either by the
dummy engine by which the cars were drawn, or
observed anything Of the accident until all was
over. 1t is, however, generally believed that the
man was dragged under the cars considerable
distance before he was first observed. The body
was at once conveyed to the Greenwich street
police station, where it now lies awaiting an in
quest. Owing to the mangled condition of the
body person has yet been able to identity it.
1t presented horrifying spectacle lying at the
police station last night. Half of the head was
completely taken away, leaving nothing of the
lace but portion of the nose and mouth, while
the neck was actually fattened and almost COM
plesely taken off. Both legs were cut from the
knees and various wounds were in different parts
81 the body. He was evidently a poor laboring
man, Judging from his dress, and from the little
that could be seen of his face was probably middle
aged. The prevailing opinion is that he had been
rlang on the cars, as many laborers are in the
habit OF doing, and that he either fell off or aot
| under the wheels while endeayoring to iump off.
1t is certainly strange hew so fearful an accident
could nave occurred in such locality without
being detected by any until the trait, had left
the mangled body after it. Additional particulars
are expected to be CLEANED in the matter to-day.
when in all probability the inquest will take
place.-LN. 7. Herald.

r The Story Connected with the cup IS THIS
On Wednesday evening Laurence" an old
freedman, well known to most of our citizens, dis.
covered basket of silver and platedware hidden
in hedge, and without for an instant thinking to
appropriate the articles, brought them to the city,
making dilligent inquiry for the owner, and finally
leaving them at the mayors office, where they
were identified by Mr.. Weeks, who testifies his
high appreciation of the freedman's honesty by
the gift mentioned above. The silverware was
stolen during the fire on Monday night
