New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-06-07
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE Z, 1866.

ticed various representatives of the press of New
Orleans and New York, the most prominent Off
GERS of the Fenan brotherhood, dignitaries Of the
/ city government, a number of late Confederate
officers, several Federal officers in uniform many
prominent citizens, and a perfect galaxy of
ladies'.
The flag was of the richest silk, but almost
ample for battle flag. The field was green,
harp was emblazoned on the center of it, and be-
meath the harp was beautifully embossed in white
strand of shamrocks. Appropriately decorated
with tassels it could truly be described as mag
nifcent, and which reflected the highest credit for
taste and good judgment on the ladies who pre-
pared it.
We heard it rumored that Major Dunpbys bat
talon leaves town this morning, doubtless for the
purpose of accommodating the Canadian frontier.
HAYs's BRIGADE RELIEF Assoo1ATroN.-We
inadvertently made a mistake in the name Of one
Of the vice presidents of this association Mfr.
Abe Thomas of the Seventh Louisiana regiment,
was elected third vice president. By this selec-

the services of a gentleman of high capacity and
energy.
BOARD OF POLICE CoMMIssIoNERs.-Thi body
was in session last evening, full board present,
Mayor Monroe presiding.
The tirstmatter taken up wasthe case of Edward
Kirwin, who was sworn in as a policeman after
seeing his name published among the appointments
by the mayor, and who claimed the office, although
after his being sworn in the mayor discovered that
The person he appointed was another man of the
same name. After some discussion, it was agreed
that tile mayor had the power to put in Office the
Edward Kirwin he intended to appoint and to
gnore the other.
The mayor brought to the attention Of the
board that several appointees, on the police, re
fused to report for duty since they had discovered
that the law required them to wear uniforms, and
the members of the board expressed the opinion
that, under such circumstances, he was authorized
to strike the names of the men from the rolls and
appoint others in their places.
The mayor also consulted with regard to the
power Of the chief over corporals and sergeants.
1t sometimes occurred that a very goodpoliceman.
upon being promoted to the berth of sergeant or
corporal was found to be unfit for the higher sta
ton, and his honor thought that the efficiency of
the police required that in such cases the chief
should have the right to reduce incompetent per
sons to the ranks. After some conversation, pro
and con, the members of the board unanimously
concurred with the mayor that the chief should
exercise the authority suggested The board
then adjourned to Saturday evening.
NEW ORLEANS FEN1ANs CONG NoETH.-A

ton of military demonstrations against Canada.
