The Recent Reports About Contemplated Negro

Southern Loyalist's House Set on Fire for the
Fourth Time.
NEW ORLEANS, September 22-9 2. M.-The
mastering out of service of the S2d ColOred In
fanlIy was completed yesterday. Evil-dsposed
persons, for the purpose of making political
capital at the North and inflaming the bad
feeling existing here against negro troops, have
been industl1ouely engaged Tor the past two
days in disseminating rumOrs to the effect that
this regiment contemplated numbering their
officers and attacking the police of the city,
IL view of tie fact that those rumors may
have been teleelaphed North, 1t is but simple
act of justice 10 the officers and soldiers OF this
regi nent TO state that after careful and thorough
examination by the military authorities the
malicious fabrication, utterly devoid OF truth.
Some forty Cab-drvers had assembled in the
vicinity of the encampment where the men were
being mustered out and paid OIL, with the in
tention of entcing them to visit improper
places, and swIndline them out of their money,
The officers of the regiment, solicitous for the
welfare OF their men, requested the police on
duty in the vicinity to have the cabs removed,
and this request has been tortured into q ridiCu-
lous statement that the police were called on to
project the officers from violence 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 the city. judge He's
