THE POLICE BOARD,

The sessions of this body are public, and
representatives of the press have no excuse
for random charges and misrepresentation
Eleven appointments only to the police
force have been thus far made. The law and
the excellent rules established by the
Board at the outset are being scrupulously
complied with.
Seven trials took place before the Board
yesterday on a variety of charges, and re.
suited in dismissal of five of the accused
In two of the cases physical disability
the absence of leg in each case-con-
stituted the main or only ground for the
charge and consequent removal of the &C.
cused. The first of these last was an ex-
United States soldier, and the second an
ex-Confederate soldier. We understand
that the requirement of the law that all
members shall be able bodied will be fully
insisted on.
There are some fifteen of the present
force whe are wanting in legs or arms,
and however much the condition Of these
men may appeal to sympathy and consider
alton in proper connection their unftness
for service as policemen is too obvious to
be debated.

The position Of Warrant Clerk Of the
House of Representatives, made vacant by
the resignation of Colonel Warrington, was
filed yesterday by the election of Mr.. j.
Pinckney Smith, of this place. Mr.. Smith,
though young gentleman. has had con.
siderable experience in finances, and has
filed this position before: He will no
doubt give entire satisfaction to every
member Of the Legislature by the faithful
discharge Of his duties. y
In the election of Mr. Smith the House
has departed from the rule of giving its
Offices to members Of the dominant party.
The resignation Of Colonel Warrington
was received by the majority of the House
with feelings Of regret at parting with this
popular gentleman. His pleasant address,
polished manners, and staneh Republican
principles have made for him hosts Of
friends. a5

SHERIFF AVERY.

The course which has been pursued by
this gentlemen has much surprised and
grieved his friends. The Evening Times Of
yesterday says:
q Too much credit can not be awarded sher.
if Avery, upon whom a large share of the
responsibility devolved of maintaining
order during the election, for the impartial
and thorough manner In which he has so
far discharged his onerous duties. How.
ever we may differ from him in political
opinion, we are always ready and happy to
acknowledge credit wherever deserved by a
public officer.
An ex-oficer of the United States army
must have descended very far to have won
even such faint praise as this from such a
newspaper.
A large number of the deputy sheriffs
appointed by DR.. Avery for the election
were from among our worst citizens
thugs, ex-Kncw-N othings, rampant rebels,
graduates Of the July massacre, ex-United
States prisoners from Fort jackson and
TOrtugas, and men who disgraoed their
Offices BY being drunk during most Of the
time OF the election.
Sheriff Avery was candidate on anoth-
er ticket than the Republican for election,
and we have heard strange rnmCrs Of a test
which be IS said to have applied to those
whs came to him seeking appointments as
deputies. 10 this we may hereafter refer,
but the character Of many Of those whom be
did appoint is too notorious to admit Of
question. The fact that large majority Of
the deputies appointed By him were Op-
posed to the adoption Of Tue new constitu-
ton vas too marked to allow Of the suppo-
sition that i occurred By chance, and The
conduct Of many Of them during the cleo
tioa has dlsgracsd this city, and should be
Investigated By the authorities.

statements with the especially urpo Sc of CO
cealing his real intentions. The peril
nacity with which the defense labored to
induce the Senate to grant their client this
unfair advantage was proof Of the in
intrinsic weakness Of their case. They
varied the forms in which they sought to
get in this illegal evidence, and compelled
the Senate,tO take four different votes, in
each of which the Senate affirmed its reso-
luton not to hear what Mr.. johnson may
have said in order to cover up his purpose
although it would accept proofs of his acts
since acts have an indisputable and unmis
taxable language of their own. Thus far
the defense has not made much Roadway
in the yindication of their client. The case
is desperate one, and even their ingenuity
will be sorely tasked in the work of making
out even plausible theory on which they
can ask for verdict of acquittal

THE CITY.

The leading subject Of interest during
the past week has been the election, which
closed yesterday. A larger vote by many
thousands has been cast than ever before
given in this city. We were unable to OBJ
tain any satisfactory returns up to late
hour last night. This fact is commentary
upon which the whole business of the elec-
ton has been conducted. In making sci &C.
lions for Commissioners, the commanding
general seems to have been peculiarly I'M
fortunate. So far as we have been able to
learn the majority of them were entirely
wanting in competency, and some of them
have proved themselves devoid Of common
honesty. 1t is not little remarkable thai
our Commissioners are unable to complete
in two days what it is usual to do in one
and have the result known by nine o clock
Business begins to show symptoms O.
periodical dizziness. The receipts of cot
ton, sugar, molasses, etc., are very light
The recent advance in cotton has beer
checked, and the market shows symptoms
of weakness. A material decline is not
however, anticipated. There is a NANTES
increase in the receipts and shipments 0
grain by way Of this city.
The sale of the market stalls under the
resolution of the council has been sus
pended for few days, partly owing to the
superior interest felt in the election, and
partly for the purpose of considering 6
proposition made by Mr.. Patrick Irwin, tc
buy all the unsold markets for ten years
for two millions of dollars. This proposal
was informally considered at a specia
meeting on Friday evening, but nothing
definite was concluded. The sales will be
resumed tomorrow at IRENE market, in
pursuance of the existing ordinance.
The cars on the Canal and Claiborne
streets railroad began running on Tuesday
This is one of the largest in the city, and
in many respects, is one of the most i'm
portant.

FRAUDS AND OUTRAGEs AGAINST COL
ORBD IVOTERg

The shameless, reckless manner in which
frauds were perpetrated yesterday and the
day before by the rebel Democracy is sur
prising even to those old political tricksters
themselves.
Not more than seventy per cent of the
white rebel vote of New Orleans has been
polled, while the Republican party have
brought out its full strength. Doubtless
the votes of three thousand colored men
in this parish have been unjustly refused /;
hundreds have been wrongly arrested, and
at many of the polls the rule has been for
white scoundrels to bully and insult them.
Without the least rational pretext
special deputy sheriffs, some of whom
are among the worst men in New Orleans,
have ordered their arrest. Commissioners
of elections have asked them frivolous
and ridiculous questions, and in number
less instances have taken from them and
kept their registration papers, refused to
deposit their votes, and because they re-
mOnstrated ordered their arrest and sent
them to jail. At several polls colored men
waited FIVE and six hours to vote, while
whites were frequently allowed to vote
Immediately on their arrival at the same
polls.
And Notwithstanding this injustice, so
disgraceful to those who inflicted It,
we have not heard Of one case in
which an officer has been resisted by
colored men, or in which any disturbance
has been originated by them. Their pa
tent endurance of wrong and outrage
their peaceful, law-abiding spirit, and their
earnest desire to discharge their whole duty
at the polls are sublime. We are confident
that not one hundred colored votes in this
city have been cast otherwise than for " for
the constitution and the regular Repub-
lican ticket.
Almost every colored man in the city offer
ed his vote. We have not heard Of one who
was able to walk or ride who failed to do SO.
An Unexpectedly large white Republican
vote has also been polled, andf the votes
are now correctly counted we viii doubt
less have carried the city, notwithstanding
the rebel frauds.

enter our protest against the conduct Of
these Commissioners, and the gross out
RACES against colored voters.
Reports from ST. Bernard parish are that
every colOred vote registered except two
was pOlled there yesterday and the day
previous.
We have reports by telegraph from St.
Martinsville giving some idea of the out
RACES perpetrated by the rebel election
commissioners.
We have returns in the Associated Press
report that 1917 votes were polled at Mon
roe, Ouachita parish, yesterday.
General Buchanan issued an order last
evening directing that no report should be
made by the election commissioners Of the
result in this city
