Reforms in New Orleans.

The subjoincd items arc taken from
the New Orleans Bee
The police commenced work under
the new law as soon as it was prOmul-
gated, and on Tuesday night several
we'll known gentlemen about town, who
always wear good clothes and sport
flash jewelry, yet neither SOW nor spin,
were furnished with free lodgings at
the Central Police Station. And /,
strange sight they presented truly,
though most of them We're hopeful
that some of their many friends would
''See the Recorder" and get them out
of limbo, or that the thing would pass
off as Il good joke when arraigncd in the
morning, and parties were formed even,
for social drinks after the farce should
be over next morning. The morning
rather rudely brushed their hopes
aside. The party was taken before the
Police Board, according to the new
law, and after being Wecded of 4 few
poor unfOrtunates who had got mixed
in it, either through keeping bad COM
pany, or from the OVer-zeal of some po-
icemen, the rest We're sent before Re
corder Houghton as fair and fit sub
jects, for an extended experience in
Workhouse life.
Superintendent Badger yesterday
issued percmptory order to the police
force to stop all singing, dancing, or
theatrical exhibitions III the bCcr Sa-
looms of the city. Their license for
such exhibitions having expired with
the end of 1870, there will be no trouble
in enforcing the order now, unless the
Council take it into their sapicnt heads
to boggle the thing again.

Gen. Henry Gray.

The Opelousas Courier, Of the 31st
December, says:
The many friends of this distinguish
ed and respected officer of good old
Confederate memory, will learn with
pleasure that he is gradually recover
ing from a very severe spell Of sickness
Which overlook him in New Orleans
several months ago. His brother, DIR.
Gray, arrived here with the General on
Wednesday last, and both are now at
the residence of Col. S. d. Ashe, in Bel
levue. Letus hope that the change of
air and the acknowledged salubrity of
our parish VIII soon place the General
on his feet again.

Holden, the Renegade!

i The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette, thus refers to Holden,
the renegade Governor of North Caro-
lima. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that
the Legislature will do its duty, and
drive the ruffian from the position he
disgraces:
s1 have been shown dispatch from
Raleigh, North Carolina, of to-day's
date, in which it is stated confidently,
that Holden will be convicted, although
the "Republicans," so-callcd, have the
strength to acquit him. Tho dcath-bcd
confessions of Il negro, just deceased.
show that all the murders and .out-
RACES which have been charged by
Holden upon the ku-KluN in Wake
and adjoining counties, were perpetla-
ted by negro ruflians belonging 70 tho
'Ioyal' Union League! This organi-
zation is known to have been under the
direct rule of Holden and those who
surround him. There can be no qucs-
ton in the mind of any one that Il par
eel ofscountlrels were let loose upon the
people by Holden for the
mere purpose of manufacturing charges
against other and Innocent men! 1t
will be to the lasting credit of the pco-
pie of North Carolina if this man is not
suffered much longer to remain ut the I
head of the State government
