TIE AUTHORITY OF THE BUREAU De
MED BY NEGRo.-Quite large crowd
was assembled in the vicinity Of Main and
Madison streets yesterday, by disturb.
ance created bya negro who refusd to be
arrested by an officer of the Bureau.
Upon inquiry, we were told that the ne
gro was called on to pay the sanitary tax,
which he refused to do, whereupon the
officer arrested him. The negro claimed
that the Bureau had no authority to en-
force the tax, nor had it the right to ar
rest him, since the Civil Rights bill was
now a law of the land. There was con.
siderable interest manifested on the result
by the crowd. But whether right OF
wrong, the officer had power enough to
take the refractory freedman along, and
the Bureau will teach him the law on the
subject.

THEATRE-There was densely packed

was perfect ovation to her talent, and
one that she can long remember with
pride. In consequence of the large num-
Der who failed to witness the beautiful
play of Rich and Poor last evening,
owing to the crowded state Of the house,
it will be repeated again this evening,
with the petite comedy of C0njugdI Les
sons, the entire strength Of the company
appearing. We expect to see one of the
best Saturday evening houses present Of
the season, as Miss Thompson appears
in both pieces, and there is much inter
est manifested to see her in the last piece.

further this measure, We are told, the
Bureau taxes the negroes one dollar
each, for the purpose Of paying the neces-
sary expenses incurred in placing the
houses occupied by freedmen in proper
order One of the proper officers came
up to a negro and asked for the tax,
which Sambo refused to pay. He was
consequently arrested and taken before
the Bureau. Sambo finding himself in
close quarters, and not admiring the JUS
tice of "the furniture claimed British
protection and refused to pay the tax on
that head. We are informed that Sambo
produced his proper papers, but as Eng
land has no right to interfere in the laws
framed for the protection of this country,
which brings every person living here
subject to them, Sambo was quietly made
to pay the tax and a fine of ten dollars,
which he forked out before leaving.

A FIGHT OF CoLoRs There was a

wagged her tongue pretty freely, using
the worn out expression of white trash, "
4" a nigger's better than any white pus-
son" etc. The Bureau was brought in
often. This kind of furniture not being
admired by the Caucasian race, the white
woman went into the negress and, to use
an old expression, wore her GU" The
aid of policeman was next called in,
and contrary to the expectations of the
daughter of Ham, he took his " dusky
sister" to the station-house, where she
remained all night. We we're told that
the officers of the Bureau were around
but could not learn that any arrests were
made.

the coming campaign, has been entirely
successful. In this mornings Journal we

tionl What has become of itp Why is

its own partyl Even BIcKHAM, who can
defend Brown, keeps his mouth closed
In to-morrow's issue we expect to see a

compelled the clique to put aside its scheme,
and oflice-seekers for once have been made
to succumb to the people. Hurrah for the
people! But such an acknowledgment,
without one word of defense or eXplana-

clan who attempted to fasten the trick upon
the people.
