nearly one hundred police going down Ca.
rondelet Street, whose officer informed me
they were going to suppress the riot. This
party detached portion OF its force on Ba-

rest passed on to Dryades Street. where IL
came upon the colored crowd on the side
opposite TO those who came from Canal

September II and 12.
But this is enough to show who planned
the revolt, and now let us see whether the
negroes were armed. He says "The police
armed with pistols and supported by citi.
zens, charged upon the negroes, having given
no notice to disperse, and having made
no attempt to peaceably arrest them. There

MURDER IN NEW YoRK.-A quiet. inof.
iensiye German, named Frederick Fifteen
meyer, was shot dead as he was entering
his boarding house in Frankfort Street, New
York, on Monday night week The night
key with which lie had been about to open
the door was found lying near where he was
discovered, so that it was evident he had
been assailed from behind as he was going
into the house. The police soon ascertained
that Charles Ileminger, John Pickett and
Leonard Fay, who boarded in the same
house with deceased, had been out with
him during the evening" and they at once
arrested them, on suspicion of having some
connection with the preparation OF the
murder. Aninquest was held over the body,
and the jury found that Frederick Fifteen
meyer came 10 his death by pistol shot
wound in the head, and from the evidence
we think at the hands OF Leonard Fay, and
we think that John Pickett and Charles
Heminger were accomplices to the shoot
