sioners found it necessary to elect Captain
for the second precinct. There were only
two nominees, and the result was that James
Gibney was chosen. He is admitted by all
who know him to be one Of the very best men
ever on the force Of this city. Pending the
election, Mr.. George handed in the follow
ing protest, which, on motion Of a member,
was spread on the minutes:
hereby enter my most solemn and ear.
nest protest against the election OF Sergeant
James Gibney for Captain, for the following
reasons:
I object because Gibney has on several &C.
cAsions had bride of 5000 offered to each
commissioner for vote for him as captain.
These brides have been SO frequently ten
dered in his behalf that it is now almost a
nuhl;c matter, and should he be elected it
would not without reason cast suspicion, OF
having received such brides, on the coIa-
missioners who vote for him.
object because the record or former
actions of Sergeant Gibney is sucn as Wouid
make said appointment for posltlon OF suCn
Importance, very obnoxious to the hepuoIi'
can party, which would in him see an invet-
crate enemy, as he has firstly: In the mas
sacre of Union citizens, white and c0lored,
at Mechanics Institute, July 80, 1864, during
the NJ onroe regime, he led on his squad OF
men to murder, in cold blood, those I'M

object because, owing to the great oppo.
stion to the Metropolitan police because OF
Republican origin, which has given cause
to several riots, and the Board of Metro +,
politan Police has by sad experience found
that it can not depend on or expect to nave
faithful servants of those who are politically
opposed to the Republican party; this has
been proven in great many instances
where mems lives were sacrificed, where no
assistance has been rendered when in need,
and also in the late Jefferson riot 1t was
seen that those men either kept from the
scene of action or ran from the scene OF
action when firing began, without attempt
ing to do their duty, or even AID thelr
wounded comrades; and when finally the
Metropolitan police got possession IN Je1er-
son, the arms of those outlaws were re-
turned to them, and the books and papers
guilty parties were destroyed.
WILLIAM GEORGE, Vice-President.
The commissioner was rather unfortunate
in selecting scrivner, as most of the docu-
ment is so obscure as to need an interpre'
ter. 1t is little strange, on first glance, to
see the Jefferson riots brought up in pro-
test against Gibney.
The first statements in the document were
promptly refuted by the members. who en-
phatically denied all knowledge OF offers OF
brides, and the charges were narrowed
down to the complainant himself, who
finally admitted that the new captain had
not offered him bride.
The other charges are simply absurd, and
doubtless the commissioners thought SO, as
Mr.. George was the only member who voted
against Gibney. This protest has been the
subject of considerable merriment in GER
tain circles, and will probably end in de-
throning the originator from his position
There are several serious serious charges IL
the paper which will trouble Mr.. George tt
prove or even attempt to. There have beer
bad men on the force, with Mr.. Georges
knowledge, and had the protest been en-
tered in their cases, there would have beer
saving grace in it.

METROPOLITAN POLICE ON THE RIGHT
BANK.-Sergeant Newton, in charge of the
force in Algiers, has made an application to
the board for an increase. Yesterday Major
Robinson and Captain Isabelle, Police Com
missioners, made visit of inspection to
the right bank, with view to ascertain
more fully the police necessities.
The amount of force consists of only
twelve, officers and patrolmen, while the
extent of river front to be attended to is
fully twelve miles, from the lower line Of
jefferson parish, right bank, to the upper
line of Plaquemine, so that evidently larger
force is needed.
This is particularly the case, since the
largely increased business of the Slaughter
house, and the consequent accession OF a
not very quiet element, will necessitate the
station of at least two patrolmen, day and
night, making four for that locality alone.
Sergeant Newton, who succeeded Sergeant
Dumont, is indefatigably active in the dis
charge of his duties, and has given general
satisfaction to the residents of Algiers; but
to carry on the duty efectually, an increase
on forde is necessary.

THE FETE CHAMPETRE.-We are still lit
tie bewildered with the idea that we had
fallen upon Arcadian ground and were in
the midst of the nymphs and goddesses who
gathered theIe, but our occasional contact
with the masculine portion-those ''mor-
tails of the baser sort'-aided in dispelling
the illusion. Such brilliance and beauty Is
rarely encountered in this sublunary state,
and as we wandered through the grounds,
hesitating from time to time to peep into a
little grotto or temple, fearing the profana-
ton, we were nearly lost to all material
sense. We continued our wanderings, how
ever, until hunger and thirst, and the sight
of the delicacies with which the tables were
laden reminded Us that we were not al
together ETHEREAL.
We can scarcely particularize where all
was beauty and elegance. but some of the
tables, it struck US, were decorated with
surprising taste, and loaded witk every
thing tempting. That Of Miss Lizzie
Hickok seemed to be most generously pro-
vided, and she was displaying tie most
| tireless zeal. The table of Mrs. Burbank is
worth visit. if only to witness the elegance
and grace with which she presides. Mrs.
Morrison, the mother of the officiating
minister, also has table in this vicinity,
over which she presides with spirit and
vivacity. Mrs. Fry's table, further round
the circle, charmed us also. She is ably
| assisted by Mrs. Young and Miss Mort.
We will try to notice other features here
after, and, in the meantime, let all see
something of the tete while it lasts, and may
| none be obliged, as we were: to tear them
selves away in the height Of the dancing
and Cayety.

S1xTE DISTRICT REPUBLICANs.-Monda
evening last will long be remembered by the
members of the Fourth Ward Club of the
Sixth District Qate City of Jefferson). The
members have taken the right step to make
their meetings interesting to young and old.
Commencing with the engagement of prom
inent speakers to address them upon their
weekly meetings, they have inaugurated in
reality "school OF politics." Last Monday
evening Senator Pinchback, General
Midget and Jordan Noble delivered
speeches to the club in their usual forcible
style, holding the audience spell-bound by
their unanswerable arguments of truth.
Now that the clubs Of the Sixth District are
pretty thoroughly organized, we expect they
will give good record of themselves during
the fall campaign. If they follow the ad.
vice given them Monday night, to thor.
oushly organize and perfect their discipline,
they may expect success in the battle they
will be called upon to wage in November.
Some of our best men will address the
Fourth Ward Climb next Monday night, June
Is. corner Bellcastle and Chestnut streets.

ALL M1sTAKE.-An evening paper yester.
day informed the public that ''the butchers,
with the assistance of number of citizens
who sympathize with them, had called a
meeting at seven O'Clock, at Clay Statue, for
the purpose of discussing the question of the
meat imbroglio and to see if some under
standing could not be arrived at with the
Slaughterhouse Company during the pend,
ency of legal proceedings, whereby the
public may not suffer because of a failure to
supply them with meat" All this was a
mistake, for the butchers and those SYM
pathizing citizens had not arranged to hold
such meeting last evening. SO several of
the butchers informed US. Between seven
and eight O'Clock q few persons assembled
at the statue to cool off in the evening
breeze, but they did not appear to desire
any interruption.
However, a movement is in progress to
get up meeting this evening at the corner
of st. Charles and Canal streets, when it is
expected several speeches will be rehearsed
publicly, in the interest of others than those
connected with the Saughterhouse Com
pany.

Mr.. Patrick Clark, the next and only wit
ness, was called. and testified that he did
not recognize the prisoner at the bar; that
he could not state that he had ever seen ac-
cused before.
Previous to entering upon the trial coun.
sci for accused made motion to quash the
affidavit in consequence Of the failure of the
complainant to designate principal. He
stated it was well settled rule of law that
to fail to at least designate principal, is
fatal to and vitiates either an affidavit or in.
dictment; that though the accessory could
be tried and convicted before the arrest o.
the principal, yet it is essential to designate
principal. Accused was dismissed fol
want of any evidence.

who was member Of the last House of
Representatives iu this State, was lately
at Logansport, Ind, and while there was
an involuntary listener to very enter,
tanning conversation on politics between
Senator Pratt, who resides there, and a
young lawyer Of that place. The latter
confessed he knew little about politics,
but complimcnted Pratt by declaring that
he was the ablest lawyer in the State. He
then said: "Mr. Pratt, l want to ask you
a question, which hope you will answer
frankly as a lawyer. Do you, Mr.. Pratt,
as lawyer, think the Georgia bill, and
several other bills OF so called recon
struction character, are in accordance
with the Constitution Of the United
States ?" Mr.. Pratt answered frankly
4" No, sir, they arc unmitigated outrages
on the Constitution and the people upon
whom they are inflicted y These views
are held by all Republicans who have any
legal discrimination but, nevertheless,
from party bigotry and fanaticism, they
continue to support them. Mr., Pratt
himself either votes for them, or sits idly
by aud allows them to pass without his
rebuke.

CI From the Little Rock GAZETTE, OF
the 18th, we clip the following:
LITTLE Rock SHIP YARD-Captain
Adams, who has built already two boats
at this place, is at work, at the foot OF
Main street, on steamboat for Colonel
Nash, of Fort Gibson, in the Cherokee
Nation, to be used as ferry boat across
the Arkansas river at that point The
en- gine will be furnished by Winchell d
Co., Cincinnati. The hull is built of ma
tive wood, and the boat, with the excep-
ton of the engine, will be entirely con-
structed here. Although not celebrated
for boat building, Little Rock has turned
out several steamboats, in time, some OF
which, as passenger boats, navigated the
Arkansas long and successfully
WESTWARD Ho Work on the L. r. 4
F. S. road progresses rapidly. The cross
ties have been laid for some miles out

laid from the river bank at Huntersville,

which to mount the first locomotive OF

RAILROAD PROGRESS. have nearly
fifty thousand miles Of railroad in the
United States. We have sufficient roads
laid down and in operation to 60 round
the world and back again. The cost OF
these road and equipment is $2,212,O00,-
900, which is not as much as the public
debt. In four foolish years we threw
away more money than it cost to build
all our railroads The building up en-
terprise Of forty years was more nullified
by the tearing down process that ensued
from 1861 to 1865. How much better
would it have been for that money to
have been spent in the equipment Of an
other fifty thousand miles Of road, max
ing one hundred thousand in all, than to
have thus been squandered 1t was the
formation and success of the Republican
party that caused the squandering Gin

DoOM OF MoRMoNpoM SEALEp-Mc-
Cullom, Of Illinois, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories, has framed bill
even more severe in many of its provis-
ions than the one presented to the Senate,
and, from the tone of popular sentiment
in administration circles and elsewhere,
there is a strong probability of its pass
age. 1t is understood that the members
Of the Committee unanimously declared
themselves in favor of Withholding all
further privileges to the people of Utah
until polygamy is permanently abandon
ed, but the enactment which they have
prepared goes considerably further than
this. BY it plurality of wives is made
crime punishable with Imprisonment in
the penitentiary, and all the rights now
enjoyed by the Mormons as citizens OF
the United States. and all that they have
hitherto enjoyed in their Territorial ca.
pacity, are taken away, to be held in
allegiance until such time as they consent
to discard forever the patriarchial insti-
tuition which is at present the most prom
inent feature of their social, if not of their
religious, organization.
