The Tribune's New orleans special
denies the report of the sod colored re-
giment showing any disposition to Gre
ate a riot. He says some 40 cab drivers
had assembled in the vicinity of the en-
campment where men were being mus
tered out and paid off, with the inten-
ton of enticing them to visit improper
places and swfndling them out of their
money. The officers of the regiment,
solicitous for the welfare of their men,
requested the. police on dutyiin the vi
entity to have the cabs removed. This
request had been turned into ridicu-
lous statement that the police were
called to protect the officers from vio-
lence at the hands of their men, when
the truth is apparent that no body OF
officers were ever more universally
loved and respected by the soldiers of
their command, and no regiment could
have behaved in a more orderly or
quiet manner than this one has since
its arrival in this city.

ing reply: "He is decidedly better to-
day, and, although still weak, is able
to sit up and ride out. DIR. Norris

The Herald's Washington special
says, Camps Convalescent and Distri-
button, names familiar to thousands
who took an active part in the late
struggle for the perpetuatiou of the
Union, have grown to be such i'm
portant features in the history of the
terrible past that the Government au-
thorities manifest a disposition to pre-
servo them as momentoeS to remind us
of those who shared their mea-
gre hOspitalities, and the days
when they congregnted there III
the characters of cOnvaleScentS,
