Of the police, and sent word to Kellogg
expressing disappr0bation OF their con-
duct. At half past four o'clock Kellogg
called at the Office, on the corner of
Natchez alley and Magazine street, to
explain the matter. While doing so,

ately surrounded by large and excited
crowd, who commenced jeering and de-

of serving civil processes, that the real

and General McEnery has issued an
address of similar purport.
