Police Difficulties In New Orleans.
MuniclDal Eleciian.

NEW ORLEANS, May 19.-Until
last night the adjoining city of Jeffer-
son, though included in the city Met
ropolitan Police District, has refused
to accept the force, offering armed re
sistance to every attempt OF the Met
ropolitans to exercise the functions of
their offices. Last night the Metro
p0litans of this city mustered to the
number of 300, under a Captain, and
were detailed to take charge of the
jefferson Precinct They made a
movement about 10 o'clock on the
municipal buildings, which were filed
with armed citizens. A small battle
ensued and II or IA Metropolitaus
were wounded, two of whom, it is
thought, dangerously The police re-
tired, and Gov. Yarmouth called upon
Gen. Mower for troops One com
pany, which was furnished this morn
ing, marched quietly to the municipal
buildings, meeting no opposition, and
Installed the Metropclitans IL. posses
sion. The citizens of Jefferson are
much excited, and the soldiers are
still on the ground. No demonstra-
ti0n was made against the troops,
though the police force was driven
of, though four times as large as the
body of soldiers. No citizens are
known to have been hurt, having
been protected by the market house
and the police buildings. au
The municipal election is progress
ing quietly here to day. +,
New ORLEANS, May 19-The ac-
ton OF the Jefferson authorities in re-
sisting the Metropolitan police was
entirely wrong, In view OF the fact
that the Supreme Court has decided
that the Metropolitan organization
was legal. 1t is stated, however, that
the police commenced firing on the
Jefersonians last night without stat
ing their business, or who they were.
It appears, from all accounts, that the
number of JeffersOnlans engaged in
the melee last night was only ten. A
large number of citizens, however,
assembled this morning, but on learn
ing of the approach of the military,
dispersed. ~
Accompanying the Infantry, were
two hOwitzers, all under command Of
General Mower In person, accompan-
led by Governor Yarmouth and Po-
lice Superintendent, Cain. After the |
Metropolitans obtained possession,
they proceeded to revenge their de-
feat. of last night. upon unoffendiDg
bystanders, a number of whom were |
badly heated with policemen's clubs;
and citizens were indiscriminately |
arrested.
Among those beaten was an old /
gray headed man and butcher who
was standing quietly at his market
stall. The violence of the Metropoli-
tans was entirely unpIovoked, and
was directed against unsuspecting and
unarmed bystanders. This took place
after the municipal officers had dis
Considerable excitement
yet exists in Jefferson, and one COM
pany of troops remains there.
