/ policemen some time since Published in the CREs-
GENT, as that Of the persons whom Mayor Monroe
intended to appoint on the police. Presummg
that he was the person intended, Herman went to
the mayor office, was sworn in, and gave bond.
Subsequently, he was informed by the lieutenant
of police that his name was not on the mayors
official list, and the lieutenant declined, in eonse-
queuce, to place him on duty. These circum-
stances were reGited by Herman in petition ad-
dressed by him to the board, Tue petitionerfurther
more alleged that he [Kiernanl on going to the
mayor was told that there were charges against him
to the effect that lie had hurrahed for and voted for
Mr. Moore on the election day andithathe had during
the last three years caused the arrest of many per-
sons on account of their political opinions.
| When this petition was brought up on Saturday
night, MIR. Conway objected to entertaining it on
the ground that the same case had previously been
before the board and had been dismissed from
| further consideration. Mr.. Conway likewise
caused the secretary to read resolution passed
some time since, declaring that the board reCog-
nized no person as a policeman except such as
had been appointed, sworn in, furnished bond and
and received a commission.
Mr.. Lynch declared that this resolution had been
adopted as a mere matter OF convenience, and out
of compliment to Mayor Monroe.
Mayor Monroe made some remarks, in the course
of which he said that lie had not appointed this
man that he alone was invested by the law with
the powerof appointment, and that he would t9l-
crate no dictatiOn or interference in sucha matter.
| He said moreover, that he had appointed the full
number of 500 policemen authorized by law that
he lind furnished list Of 500 names to the board,
/ which list Ind been accepted and thus constituted
the paiirc force OF Jla city tbat the council ur0-
videdfor the payment Of only POO men, anal that
neither the board nor any other authority had
| power to Increase the number. Asst Herman he
dtd not come before The board asa policeman; he
was not policeman, and he should not be forced
upon the list and, IN this position the mayor
relied on The people OF New Orleans to sustain

come for remedy. II he was entitled to place

bunals to establish his claim. This board had no
