THE PEOPLE OF New ORLEANS are laboring
under fearful excitement. We learn from Mai.
williamson, the chief Of police that yesterday he
informed the police board in emphatic terms that
be would put no more negroes on the police. He
also told the reporter OF the CRESCENT that for the
last three nights not single colored Waterman
has been detailed on duty.
This negro police business has been the princi-
pal Of stisfacton on the part of the peo-
pie, for it is generally believed that many of these
negroes are thieves and abettJrs of thieves and
that the greater portion OF the burglaries recently
committed were either connived at or instgated
by them. better feeling will no doubt be en-
gendered by this action of Major Williamson.
The FUNERAL OF EDWARD EAGAN. who acct
dentally came TO his death on Saturday night was
very largely attended on Sunday afternoon. from

THE FAMOUS club of the Innocents paraded the
streets last evening in full numbers and in their

the line halted for while, and pistol was fired
accidentally. rush was made towards the
place whence the sound proceeded, but every.

SINCE THE EXCITEMENT of the past three days a
negro, fearing the invasion of his residence du-
ring the night, hiss struck the idea of posting
