NO MONEY FOR NEW ORLEANS POLICE.
The Tribune's New Orleans special states
that committee of one policeman from
each precinct waited on Colonel Bray,
treasurer of the police board, yesterday,
for two months back pay. They were told
there was no money in the treasury. The
fiscal agent was then waited upon. lie
stated that money ought to be in the treas
ury. as he had placed $780, 900 in the hands
of the treasurer, and had received no report
of its disbursement. They then went to
Governor Kellogg, but, owing TO his en-
gagcrents, failed to obtain an interview
with him.
Colonel Bray insists that he has received
no money for the police, and does not
know where he is to get any. Meanwhile
the police are much dissatisfied, and unless
they are appeased may resort to general
strike if not to hostile demonstrations
against the state or municipal authorities.
There are plausible intimations from per-
sons n the confidence of the republican
managers that the missing money was used
in bounty money for recruits for service on
the 14th of September
CHANGES IN THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS
The Times New Orleans special says
that four of the five radical members of
tie returning board of elections have
agreed to resign TO enable Kellogg to re-
construct the board, with two conservatives
and three radicals. This is the basis of the
compromise between the whites and Kel-
logg's party and one of the conditions of
peace in the future Ex-Governor Wells,
the fifth member, WILL it is likely, resign
too. If so we may effect quiet election,
and if not there is danger ahead.
LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN TIE ADVISORY
BOARD.
The Tribune's New Orleans special says
that NJ. +. Bonzano the umpire on the adj
visory board, created under compromise
agreement between the McEnery and Kel-
logg parties, has rendered his resignation.
He was the only republican member who
commanded the confidence of both parties.
Packard, who nominally resigned week
ago, still acts as a member of tie board.
although Major Burke, who resigned at the
same tine, has retired Neither party has
much faith IN the ability Of this board to
effect any real good, and certainly its pro-
,eedings SO far have not been of nature
to inspire such faith.
THE INTERIOR OF LOUISIANA.
A special Times correspondent, who is
making tour through Louisiana on horse
back, so rs to avoid the railroads and othel
beaten tracks as much as possible, sends an
interesting letter upon the condition of tho
south. The general statement of intimida
ton of the blacks is denied. Although hi
gave out that he was a Times correspondent
he was we'll treated and the white mel
seemed TO regard his appearance as har
binger of better times, doubtless becaus,
they hoped he would tell the truth abou
them, ard not go into the ourage-mannfac
turing business at their expense. To &c
at the truth is indeed the sole object of III
correspondents journey. The blood!
drama must he left to the hired organs an,
the mysterious authors Of the reign of ter
ror dispatches dated from Washington.
