plicants for positions on the police
who, inll vo llany cases, obtain the
personal iJntIrceRslon of some of

answer which every one gets
is that all vacancies shall be filled

after that, then the outlsders may come

'PO!lt AR TREET HUCISTEltlrs.
The patch of ground in front of Poy
dras Market promises to give rise to
something of a controversy between the
Clarrollton ltrilroad Company and the
city of New Orleans.
TiN IltSTORY
of this piece of land, which is about 42
feet wide by 70 in depth is as follows:
ily notarial act, dated September 14,
18:iH, the New Orleans and (arrollton t
Railroadc Company (who had acquired
the same from the New Orleans
Oanal and Navigation Company) sold
to the city of New Orleans the parcel
',f ground onm which the Poydras Mar
ket now stanids, and through which the
Canal tiravier ran at the time. The act
refers to the patch alluded to above,
which is specially described in the bill t,
of sale, wherein Laurent Millaudon, I
president of the railroad company, 0
obligates the company never to d
erect any buildings thereon. Since
that time the patch has never been t
used by the company. Within a
few years the spot has been nicely Ii
paved with flag., and has been a place a,
of rendezvous for flower and vegetable
vendors who pay a small sum daily for of
the privilege to the lessee of the market.
This, however,

the market men and women, or some e
of them, and very recently they have in
mnade a move to have these hucksters to
removed from this patch, in order to th
crom pel thenm to occupy stalls in the bl
market.
Mr. Cavanae, the Administrator of
C1ommerce, declines to interfere in the
In an interview with one of the oGi
:ails of the road, Mr. Oavanao learned
that It was the purpose of the railroad
company to derive a source of revenue
from the ground through the same
lower and vegetatblo vendors who now
pay a small pittance to the farmer of the
mnarket fur the privilege of occupying it.
The inference at the City Hall is that
the market men have led the company
to believe that the revenues to be derived
fron this ilagstono market are very
largo, their objeet being to make the
igures correspond with the price of the
stalls it t ho market, and thus practi
cally drive the hucksters away from the
neutral grounlld.
The matter will be brought before the
committee of the whole of the City
t'ouneil, and the probability is that the
stn st quo will be maintained.

Freddy Hill, aged ten years, was ar
rested Monday morning and looked up
in the Central Station, charged with
having stolen a pocket-book containing
a cheek for $25 and a $50 bill.
Freddy was discovered by Officer
Quinn in the act of trying to dispose of
the $50 bill for $2 to ea man named Chars.
E. Redder, an employe of the shoe store
of Mr. John Sohaeffer. Hill was taken
to the Central 8ta Ion and locked ult. I
Shortly after his incarceration a Mr. B. I
Rosenthal, doing business at No. 2:1
Canal street, called at the Central Sta
tion and said that Hill was his nephew, t
and that the pocket-book, cheek and f
money were his property, which h's
nephew had stolen. As Mr. Rosenthal
did not wish to prosecute, Hill was
turned loose.

!ond Matters.
Home of Kellogg's eld friends, those tried and
found true, claimed to a DBmoOcAT reporter, a
day or two ago, that William Pitt was over
watchful of the interests of those who had reon
dered him service, and mentioned, in connection
therewith, that he had fixed his Returning Board
friend, Tom Anderson, in suoh a manner that if
there ever should be any shortness in Tom's ac
acount as
TREAUREttg OF THI Nt1t001, WOARDnn
of the parish of tt. Landry, the Nicholl's people
could not push him, Anderson, or his securities.
Knowing that there was but one way in which
such "fixing" could be arranged, the DcnMOCRAT'S
inquisitor repaired to the 8tate- ouse, to ascer
tain, if postble, just when Kellogg went through
the performenoe of' fixing by canceling the
bonds of his Returning Board friend.
After a diligent searoh among old rubbish a
badly mutilated and torn book was found, which
IIAY.R ~ILI,OO(tl AWAY,
as the police would say, and it not only showrd
thxt Kellogg had oanoelcd several bonds for An.
dorson but he had canceled dezons of others,
as will be shown, and by so doing has undoubt
edly prevented our State authorities from taking
action in some oases against the sureties of some
of the officials, that would result in a rrcovery of
funds actualy gobbled up by these Kellogg
ollie ale.
iUder the existing lows, aot No. (18 of 1873, it
was necessary that app'ication for cancellation of
bonds must be made to the Executive, and while
Kellogg wielded the baton he took precious good
care that no such applications were made public
except in cases where he desired to
OCOWlD H11 AI'I'OINTEP.;
to (btrain some desired result.
To be brief, Kellogg's cancellation bool, the
one mentioned ab re, has fallen into the voassse
elon of a DEMOCnAT reporter, and from it we give
the readers of the DEMOCiAT the names of a few
of those whom Kellogg relieved from any fears of
prosecution by cancelling their bonds.
The blank form appended will give the neces
sary explanatimn as to the mode of procedure,
and that in as follows:
STATE OF LOoUISANA,
Executive Department,
hew Orleans, ...., 187..
To the Recorder of Mortgasgs, Perish of ......
Sir-Application having been made to me under
Act No. 6S, session of 1878 (approved March 20,

why such bond or mortgage should not be an
nulled or canceled was flied in his ofilce yu are
hereby authorized and directed to annul and can
ol amid bond or mortgage accordit g to law.

By this it will be seen that the blank can be
uned in the cancellation of the bonds cf any
Htate ,r pa, ish othcial, and the fact that a nuna
ber of these blanks were

nitnrally leads to the belief that some, perhaps
a dozen, bonds have been canoe lied since Kellogg
turned his office over to Packard.
Io the summary appended the dates of cancel.

as foll, ws:
Janusry 6-Thos.0. Anderson, Treasurer of the
Board of echool Directore, pari-h of 8t. Landry,
bond dated July let, 1876 for $5000, with Thoee.
0. Anderson as prinoip 1, E. Gantt and V. Mayo
as sureties, was canceled.
On the same date a similar bond in every re
spect, except that it was dated June 17, 1873, for
the same amount, same surettes, etc., was can
celed: and on the same day another of the same
tenor in every re.peet, excening that it was
dated May 19, 1875, was cancelea, making three
a b mnd for 03000 each, given by Anderson, oaltu
it oeled only a day or two before Kellogg vacated
for Packard.

that some of Keiloga's canceliations were con
esderably crooked, and might have been made by
Kellogg even after Packard had been installed.
The bond in question is that given by George
Y A. King, dated October li, 1875, as Treasurer of
the tchool Board parish of lied River, and had
as sureties M. H. ''witchel anid llen Perrow for
$5000. This is canceled by Packard, as above

and private teams.
It has been years since there has been sech a
general outpouring of the people to attend a
race, and orrtsiuly the dououtomont ehowed that
it was deserved.
Desides carriage and buggy, many ladies, with
their escorts, with a commendable spirit, chose
the more safe and comfortable means of Irants

light-haired and dreamy blonden, with all the
witobery of their sex, tempted the average eye
from the symmetrical mole towards them, and
the st barite even had to forego his love for the
hybrid in paying obeisance to the truly beautiful.
Fans fluttered, ribbous waved and gauze veil
laughed in the delightful broczi, and the fai.

when full of the excitement of anticipation at the
approaching events.
The attendance was most select.

to the other none but the faces of cur best fami

many who rarely can be tempted to take an inter.

attracted them thither yesterday. As for the
gentlemcn, they were out in full force also.
Straw hats of all styles, frcm the economical flat
from Cheap John's to the more expensive Pan
ama from Drez were on hand, and as if to tempt
the ire of Jupiter P,uvius, two pairs of white pants 1
ventured out with human ocoupants. As a rule,
gray suits led the van, and when these were or

ment a lull in the conversation among the ladies. a
In a few moments the gallant beasts, champing
at their bits, trotted out of the cioling ground,
and the silk and satin "mounts" essayed to bring
them into line. Mule nature is utterly unroli
able, and in this instance, nature showed herself
true to her old laws, for first one of the stubborn
animals would take a line towards the fence, and I
then another would be induced by some inward I
reflection to start down the track. At last, how

Newsboy, Saccharlue, Bolter, Molasses, Contra- t

each showing its thoroughbred qualities. When
the d um tapped for a send off Newsboy, with an
alacrity proverbial with his class, jumped to the

bunched in the rear. In this order they made

About Packard's Police Roster.
It Ihad been suggested that the roster of Pack.
ard's police, as made up to receive the pay gen
erously granted them by the government, was, in
part, composed of men of straw, some of whom
do not exist and others who are not entitled to
the money. As a case in point, we publish the
following letter from Mr. Trome, whose name has
been unan houizedly put on the lies, and who dis
claims in the following way :
NEw OaR.EAts, May 7, 1877.
The undersigned, having seen the name of
John Treme in a list of the late Packard police,
published on Sunday morning in the )EMou0iiA.T,
will state that neither he nor any other legitimate
Trome has ever been on that police, and that
every member of that family is or.poeed to Pack.
ardism. Cons-quel.tly he bul eves that the name
of Tremo is put, nupon th,.t list for the purpose of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
