In the Police Court, this morning, Presi-
dent Porter fined Hicks a colored guard,
five dollars for interfering with officer
Campbell vile making an arrest last night.
A murmur arose in the Court, which was
filled with negroes. Captains Glass and
Brown and several colored guards stepped
up and asked that the fine be remitted.
The few whites in Court stood upon the
defensive, momentarily expecting an out
break, when Porter, after some hesitation,
remittted the fine. All then became quiet.

gave cause for serious alarm, and many
feared premeditated effort to burn the
city. There is great Indignation at the
rules OF the National Board of Health, and
one or two indignation meetings were held
last night. The sixth clause, which pro-
hibits citizens from going out of their
