The Levees.

The following letter from Hon. Frank
Morey, in connection with that of General
Bussey, published few days since. will be
found of interest. The warm eommenda'
ton of Professor Forshey is not at all ex-
apgerated, and not q single objection to
him has ever been raised. General Morey's
suggestion of the application of the cotton
tax to the improvement of the Mississippi
river will probably be approved by the
Chamber of Commerce.:

more important, he is enthusiastic IN MS

BRIEF MENTION.-Edward Adams, taken
from the corner Of Camp and julia streets,
and Antoine Keller. from No. IS Louisa
street, casually dropped into the first pre-
cinct caiaboose, because their enemies chose
to say that they obtained goods under false
pretenses.
Henric Leverin and Andrew Beergcosin
took in too much United States beer, and
when they attempted to board their bark
the Ksrsten Languaren, from Norway, they

the other sailor was rescued.

Fields street, and he shot off his mouth and
pistol. An officer took him to prison and
charged him with carrying q concealed
arsenal.
Albert Shaw says he is . sailor, and it is
believed that he picked the pocket OF Austin
Blood at the corner of Cont and Royal
streets, which accounts for accused sailin
into the third cslaboOse.
John Byrnes was dumped into the first
stationhouse for picking pocket, accom-
panied by Thomas Dolan, and the twins
were charged with disturbing the peace OF
Baronne street.
Some live turkeys we're camped near the
Jackson railroad depot, which fact was
known to Michael Wells and Harry Will
liams, who gobbled some of the gobolers'
which 90 worked on John Mccormick
mind that he caused them to be arrested.
Sunday was so pleasant, speaking wealth :
erlv. that thousands of people availed
themselves of it and took pleasure rides in
every direction The New Lake railroad was
we'll patronized and hundreds visited Car
rollton.
Two deputy constables yesterday entered
the residence Of woman residing IN the

POLICE BoARD.-After disposing of the
charge against Superintendent Loan yester-
day, the case Of Officer w. G. OConnor.
first precinct, was called. Accused was
charged with aiding and abetting Officer
Kerrigan to beat n. T. Brown in cruel
manner. The decrepid man, still suffering
from the terrible beating, testified:
am certain that the second blow ON my
left neck was given by O'Connor; O'COnnor
was on nv left side and kerrigan on my
right eide: Kerrigan struck me on the rignt
aide. on NV head and on my neck; l took
both Kerrigan and OCOnnor into par
room and treated them; when herrlgan
struck me he said it was to make me cltl'
zen; am positive that " onnoe str9cK me;
he did not try to stop Kerrigan beating me;
an attempt has been made to compromise
this case: it was Mr.. Glover who mentioned
the subject, but rejected the ofter; nad
been drinking but little that night.
j. CoII-Witnessed the affair; saw KERR
gan beat Mr.. Brown; did not see O'Connor
try to stop Kerrigan; when l hrst saw tne
affair O'Connor had his CLUB In MS over
coat pocket.
James Kelly-This witness corroborated
ali that the last witness said.
Officer p. Berci-Did not see O'Connor
strika Mr.. Brown; heard O'COnn0r toll her-
rigan not to strike Brown again; 1t that
time thought that the prisoner was nearly
dead; he was drunk, thought; l endeav'
ored to stop Kerrigan; OConnor was sooer'
This was all the evidence that had been
brought forward. The board was unable
to arrive at q conclusion, and therefore
took it under advisement.
The board authorized Captain Gray to
make such changes in his clerks - he saw
at. This resolution WAS adopted because
the commissioners thought the case OF Mr.
Brown had not been handled as it should
have been; that Kerrigan should have beer
locked nm as soon as the clerk and turnkey
saw that prisoner had been outrageoas's
treated.
The board then adjourned.
