TROUBLE AT THE GUARDHouSE-BoTu DEMO
Gratis AND RADICALS OBJECTTO THE APPOINTMENT
OF NEGRO RoUSDsNES.-Night before last the Chief
OF Police received orders from the Mayor to dis
charge Rounismen Geo. W. Scott and NJ. Hast
ings, and Private John Smith from the police
force-all three Of whom are Democrats. They
were discharged and three negroes, members OF
the night force and named as follows, were ap-
pointed to fill their places: Thomas Bamfield and
F. C. Dcsverney, roundsmen; and John Simmons,
private.
The appointment OF these negroes to the i'm
portant position of roundsmen created a great
deal of dissatisfaction among both the Democratic
and Radical members of the force. About twelve
o'clock squad OF armed men were sent to Ad-
gers wharf, under the command OF one OF these
negro roundsmen. Mr.. J. c. Wescott, Demo-
crat, was ordered to go with the squad, but re-
fused, saying that he would not be placed under
the command Of negro He then resigned.
The white Radical policemen who, like their
leaders, have boasted so much about negro
equality, were as much disgusted at the appoint
ments as the Democrats. They 'fumed and
fretted'' for WHILE and then, as we learn, COM
mittee OF them called upon the Mayor to know
whether the appointments could not De revoked.
The reason of this disgust is (as asserted by some
OF the membcrs) because they have to salute the
rorndsmen whenever they are met
These discharges are ordered by the Mayor IN
conformity with his promise to the committee OF
the Loyal League, who were recently sent by that
body to request the removal of all Conservative
members Of the police force The men who have
heen Vttsrharred are said to be among the best
officers OF the force. No reason was assigned for
their discharge. One OF them applied to the
Mayor to ascertain what were the charges against
him. He was informed that there was no fault
whatever to And with him. He then requested
the Mayor to give him his discharge In writing,
which the Mayor refused, stating that he was
not compelled to do so.
The official axe is expected to fall again today
How many Democratic heads will be under 1t, is
not yet stated.

Wall street to-day has been the scene
of more activity and animation than for

speculative movement in the stock ex-

in connection with the covering OF the

LONDON, August pa mass Of de
tails of the condition aud promise OF
the growing grain crops has been re-
Gently published. 1t seems the general
impression that the continuance of the
late dry and cool weather has been of
immense service to the country. Much
corn is already gathered, and another
fortnight like the past and the crisis of
harvest will be over. The copious rains
which fell some time ago, though they
delayed, did not damage the corn. A
favorable change in the weather stop
ped the advance in corn, but great tluc-
tuatiOns are still expected, as the crops
throughout Europe, with the exception
of Russia, promise to be light.
