| THE POLICE
are getting inquisitive, much TO the DISCUS
of the Police Board, aud, in fact, all the othe
wings of the Kellogg Government
After the United States had put Kellogg ant
his crowd back into Office, and the reorganiza
ton of the demoralized police force began, j
was given out that all those men who did no
report for duty would be dismissed, and tn
six weeks pay due them for the month of Au
gust aid two in September, would be forfeited
The men who did report for duty have not
yet seen the money owed them, and they are
anxious to know what became Of the amount
which they believe was on deposit with the
Fiscal Agent, and what the Police Board is
going to do about it any how.
| A committee has been appointed and will
call on the Board on Friday to PROFOUND these
inquiries and perhaps few more.
| THE VENDORS OF HAVANA LOTTERY TICKETS
are in trouble, and it is certain that their bust
ness from this time out will not be paying
one.
Act No 9 of the session of the Legislature
Of 1874, makes it a penal offense to sell any
but legalized lottery tickets Louisiana State)
in this State and provides Tor q penalty for
violation of its provision. fine Of twenty
five dollars or impri son1Aent for five days

discretion Of he court, and the act has
been pronounced constitutional by five
of our District Judges-Judges Tissot, Able,
Atocha, Hawkins and Cullon-and that there
is determination to enforce it, is evidenced
offending vendors araigned to-day, and
that several are now in durance in default of
money to pay the fine.
The determination Of the delegation Of
THE NINTH REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT
to run Mayor Witt for the House, is as firm
as ever, provided they can get him to accept
the nomination. There is general desire on
the part of all citizens to have Mr.. Witt in
the position, and there is q generally ex-
pressed hope that he will allow his name to be
used. Men of his character and intelligence
are needed in the Legislature, and in addition
to this, his knowledge of city affairs and the
wants of the city, would make him invaluable.
He would be the right man in the right place.
It is to be hoped that Mr.. Wiltz will recon-
slider his determination and agree to allow
himself to be put forward.
The opposition to the rule Of the leaders in |
THE RANKS OF THE FAITHFUL
in this city is on the Increase The iotelli- |
gent colored men, who have not the fear of
removal from Office to warp their judgment,
have commenced to think and act for them
selves, hnd their influence is considerable,
and the consequence is there is rebellion
which threatens to terminate in revolution.
The action of Herbert in the Convention
in "going for " Kellogg-it is ex-
actly what he did-was like a thunder-clap.
The party leaders had no idea the opposition
had grown to an extent that would lead to the
boarding of the noblest Roman of them ALL
Hebert told Kellogg in plain language that
he (kellogg) had come into the Convention
or the sole purpose of influencing it in favor
If Calhoun, and he was not wanted there, and
10 astonished and frightened was he that he
would have retired, but his hackers would not
ct him.
There is some talk of disclosure as to how
he ward elections and the Convention have
een worked. The sooner it comes the better.
