ABUSE OF AUTHORITY.


NEGRO POLICEMEN At SECOND STREET MARKET.
It is evident that reform is necessary
among the policemen around the Second
Street Market, in the Fourth District, and
only punish the offenders but be SO effectual
that its example will serve to deter other
negro patrolmen from assuming the imperi-
GUS airs of magnate on every occasion. 1t
appears that about II o'clock Wednesday
last, German woman. over sixty-four years
of age, had some kind of an alteration with
another woman, and warm words passed,
when suddenly, with promptitude remarka-
Bile on their part, four burly negro policemen,
Drawing the dangers of two old women, gal
lantly charged and carried off to jail the old
woman.
If it takes four negroes to carry super
animated woman to prison up there, how
many Of the force is required to arrest 9
small, lively boy? The action of the four was
entirely unnecessary, and one of the officers
could have easily indicated the peace and
dignity of the State as we'll.
Again, on Thursday morning coffee
vendor, who, unfortunately for himself, hap
pened to be also q German, actually had the
effrontery to refuse credit to two patrolmen,
and he was carried of and locked up.
Now these things are getting to be q little
monotonous. If such actions are permitted
to pass by without comment it will not be
long before negro policemen will have to be
consulted for permission to walk our Streets

THE WHISKY SIEGE.
Arrival of Supervisor Tuition.
The Council of War. at the st.
Charles Hotel Last Night.

Ever since the departure of Gen. Brady,
who was specially charged with the opening
of hostilities down hereabouts in the crooked
whisky, there has been most dismal silence
reigning relative to the future prosecution of
the many cases already prepared and ''wait
for Tuition, was heard daily in the Internal
Revenue circles. Inst night Supervisor
Tuition arrived, in company with the former
Secretary of the Ioterior, A. D: Harlan, and
put up at the San Carlos.
1t was but a short time after his appearance
before there was stir in revenue circles, and
at 8 o'clock last night there was grand coun-
al of war held in Mr.. Tutton's private apart
ments. Special Agent Wheeler and his assist.
ants were there, and the present situation was
thoroughly discussed. The reporters vainly
sought an admission into the charmed circle,
and, after waiting some hours, were compelled
to draw of their forces in disgu st.

THE BRAVE TO THE FAIR.

When the veteran forgets the brunt'of bat
tie and the shrek Of shell to pay tribute to

the greater portion of the business part of

following are the sufferers:

The Masonic Hall caught but was extin-
guished.

even saving their books. The fire was plain

matter this Representative worked hard for
impeachment. and just before the articles
passed the House, he sent polite note to

and urge him to sign it. He was afraid that
the Governor would be impeached before his

all the harder for impeachment.

ing appointments:

Capt Eads and party went out yesterday
morning on his steam yacht Julia, aud took &C.
curate soundings of the bar. The water had
deepened m aterially all over the bar, and the
shoalest soundings, 144 feet have advanced
seaward some two thousand feet. The
crest of the bar is now only about six hun
dred feet from the sea- end of the jstties. A
vessel drawing sixteen feet can go down at
least one mile further than when the work
commenced. The Eads party went on a i'm
promptu excursion outside, overhaule the
steamship Margaret, bound out Southwest

There is no reason why sailing vessels OF

go to sea through South Pass, and the day is
not very far distant when Southwest Pass and
Pass-a-rOutr will be almost deserted.
