roRs.-This Board met in regular session

houses. Mr.. Culbertson was elected.

Mr.. Mount was elected chairman of the
| Committee on Teachers, and the chair ap-
pointed the following members of the COM
mittee: Messrs. Cronan, Paisley, Lagan, and
Harris.
A resolution that the present corps of
teachers be continued during good behsv-
ior was adopted.
! Mr.. Cronan offered resolution that Mr..
Dimitry and James Davis, Sergeants.at
Arms, be continued until the first of Sep
tember, on their present salary; and also
that the officers of the old Board be paid
their salary until the first Of September,
Some objection was made; to which Mr..
Cronan replied that the new incumbents
were not notified of their election for the
purpose of stepping in and reaping the
benefit of the labors of the old Board. He
thought the officers of the Board should
have their pay during vacation as well as
the teachers who were now doing nothing.
He could not agree to the payment of two
sets of officers for performing the same
work, and it was breach of good faith to
deny the salary to the officers who were
fairly elected until the first of September.
The resolution was finally adopted.
1t was moved that the four members
from each district proceed to draw lots for
the two and three years term, but as s.
large number of members were absent the
matter was laid over until the next meet
ing.
Mr.. Henyghe informed,the Beard that by
his contract to furnish furniture for the
| public schools he has lost several thousand
dollars by the depreciation of the city cur
rency, and wished the Board to take some
action in the matter. Mr.. Cronan thought
he could afford to take city money for his
work as well as the teachers, and if he had
not ingenuity enough to engineer his way
through the difficulty, he thought the
Board could not assist him. The matter
was dropped where it started, and the
Board adjourned.
BOARD OF POLICE CoMMIssIoNERs.-Not
withstanding the fact that the Board gave
notice that no more appointments would be
made, the members are continually beset
by persons seeking situations on the force,
although they know there are no vacancies.
The Board passed the following resolution
yesterday:
That the Chief of Police be and he is
hereby specially instructed to make such
disposition of and so deploy the force under
his control as to insure good order to all
public assemblages of whatever character
or party.
A resolution was adopted, after much
debate and investigation, to make appoint
ments of fifty additional men to the force
on the recommendation of certain respon-
sible persons, in view of the present some
what excited condition of affairs in the city.
That this action is praiseworthy and timely
there can be no doubt. Even the most radi.
cal Democrat can not be otherwise than
pleased at this and acknowledge the wis
dom of the resolution in making further
preparations for all emergencies that are
liable to arise during the present campaign.
DIsoRDERLY.-Mollie Williams and Maria
Martin were complained of as being nui,
sances and disturbers of the peace of the
semi-respectable neighborhood of Toulouse
street, by being constantly drunk, fighting
and quarreling all night, to the great an
noyance of a certain gay lark who roasted
in that vicinity on certain night this
week. Having due respect for the feelings
of an individual under such peculiar cir
cumstances, Recorder Gastinel guaranteed
him peaceful slumber for at least ten
nights by sending the offenders to Parish
Prison for ten days.
