WASHINGTON, June 11.-Flanders' success
or as treasury agent at New Orleans is under
consideration.
The president advises the Tennessee peti
tioners tc apply simultaneously to Thomas
and Brovnlow for protection from outrages,
thus giving Brownlow the opportunity and
Thomas the right to correct the abuses.
The president is not very well. He is
threatened, it is said, with Brightrs kidney
disease.

that only Stanton will sustain the district

day.

WAsHlNGTON, June IL, 1901.
General Pope has addressed letter to
General Grant wherein he speaks of the
good effects of the removal of the rebel
mayor and chief of police of Mobile, and
says that the removal gives great satisfac-
ton to the respectable people of all shades
of politics. 1t is doubtful whether the
unionists or respectable rebels are most
delighted by these changes.
Ninety-nine bonds of one thousand dol
lars each have been missing from the print.
ing bureau of the treasury department for
three weeks. The fact has been concealed
from, or not reported to, Mr.. McCulloch,
secretary of the treasury, until now. 1t is
stated that S. NJ. Clark, chief of the first
division of the currency bureau, who has
not been on good terms with Mr.. McCulloch
for about year, knew about this matter
and he will be Immediately and deservedly
removed.
The president goes to Boston on the 2ls
instant. He will be escorted by the Com
manderies of Knights Templar, Washing
ton No. one and Columbia No. two.
1t is understood to-day that Attorney Gen
eral Stanbery has given an official opinion
that civil officers in the lately rebellious
States cannot be removed unless they are
tried by military commission for impeding
the enforcement of the reconstruction laws
of congress and found guilty. PAYsON.

THE STREE COMMISSIONERS.

In the proceedings of the board of alder
men last evening an important communica-
tion from the street commissioner may be
found.
The facts and figures there presented are
of interest to taxpayers and to the citizens
generally. The contract cost of repairing
and cleaning the unpaved streets is, ac-
cording to his showing, s4s,OOO more than
the estimate for the year 1867, and $39, 900
more for the paved streets.
The cost of the paved streets for 1865 was
s24, 900 less than In 1866, and for five months
in 1867, $ls,800 more than for the whole
year 1866. The increase is certainly alto
gether disproportionate to the amount of
work done.
Mr.. Baker asks that no contract be entered
into at the present time for cleaning or re.
pairing the paved or unpaved streets of the
city.
The conclusion to which he arrives is
undoubtedly correct, that the city can be
thoroughly cleaned and kept clean as
cheaply and much more promptly by the
city than under any contract.
If the city performs this work without the
Intervention of contractors, it will give EN-.
ployment to nearly q thousand loyal men,
and this is another consideration against the
contract system. The draining machines and
their management elicit from Mr.. Baker
few words plainly expressed. The city
surveyor has certainly neglected his duty
in not compelling the machines to be run
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1867-06-12

The health officers have represented to this
office the inadequate service rendered by
the draining machines, and also the pesti-
lential character of the contents Of the
canals. Unless the machines can be kept
at work the best efforts OF the street com.
missioner to thoroughly clean and keep
clean the city will fail, for unless the water
Is pumped out, SO as to make room and Sc
cure current, it will besuseless to let the
water run from the sluices at the river
front.
Hoping you will cheerfully acquiesce in
my suggestions and give me your cordial
cooperation in the work of having a clean
and healthy city, I have the honor to re-
main your obedient servant.
WILLIAM BAKER,
Street Commissioner.
Mr.. Moore offered resolution that the
recommendations Of the street commits.

Base Bail.
On a recent afternoon, at the camp OF
company E, Fourth United States cavalry,
at Greenville, was witnessed by a numerous
assembly of spectators q hotly contested
and splendidly played game of base ball be-
tween the "Reville y B. B. G. of company
E, Fourth United States cavalry, and the
jackson B. B. c. of the First United
States infantry.
The most noteworthy play was eXhib-
tied by Brown of the Reville and White of
the jackson, the former making no less
than six fly catches without muff, as will
be seen by the score. The latter well in
his position as catcher and made some diff
cult tip catches. Nine innings were played
by the Jackson who went first to the bat,
while the Reville played but eight.
At the conclusion of the game the de.
feated club were invited by the victors to a
model repast in the shape of camp dinner
All that could be desired was furnished
and lager beer and refreshments disap
peared mysteriously.
Mr. Brandenburg, of the Southern B. B

ton to umpire this match game:
