although only tsr-- pjontlis of the year hd elapsed. Toe 1887 bills come out of the reserve and, aod there Is no money to the credit of tnat tuud at present. The matter was therefore laid over. Mr. Clark stated tnat since the lat meeting, with the assistance of the chief of police, he had Micceeded in obtaining list of soma Xorty-iwo deaoheada on tne old police Yandervort, secretary to the cnlef, eaid that Chief Henneasy and Chief Operator Vooltero bad gone over tne roll and onroHed off the names of tuoae waom ttiey knew had not dona day duty, They are all specials except one or two marked "actinic clerks." and he thinks were Included In tooee dropped at the end of Mayor tiulilotte'a administration.

Mr. Clark said ne bad summoned the various oommanaei of the old force to question mew about the lit and establish the Identity of the men. The committee should certainly refuse to pay these uieu. and If any Injustice Is done to aoy of the men inev will be able to prove it. A very great suspicion to weir being entitled to pay has certainly been aroased.

He had received several communications about some of the men betas' ueadheads. and he tbonjtht tne police roil was a saraDle of tbe manuer in which the departments of the old government had been conduoted.

Not one of them bad a man at work whose name waa on the roll of any other preeioer. it waa therefore easy to traea the dead Beads. Mr.

Clark offared the following, which was adopted: Moved, That sstlsfactory evidence having been furnished this committee that the following names have fraudulently appeared upon tbe pay rolls or the eltj police, that ach and every one be atrieken from the rolls, and that the controller be forbidden to warrant for any sums claimed for salary due, and tbat the treasurer be forbidden to pay any warren te heretofore issued and cow unpaid, and that a copy of this resolution be orwsrded tne city attorney with the request that be institute proceedings against horn nrlnp.inai and his suretv for the recov ery of ail moneys nsretofore paid, and that a copy be also furnished tne district attorney with tbe rrauest tnat be causes criminal proceedings arainst each one so offending.

Mr. Belieck proposed a plan for tax col lection by monthly installments, but it was decided untimely at present. Mr. BritUu'j ordinance requiring the de-Tiartmenti to keen order books, issue vouch ers for supplies and extra work, rucn vouch ers to accompany eacu oui oeiore approval. and to retain duplicates, was reported upon favorably.

Mr. a. W. Hvatt. as transferee for E.

L. Jewell's heirs, asked to be paid the si 500 which tbe city contracted to pay for 100 copies of Jewells Uigesu iu amount Daretv covers tne nrsi cost oi unui mu the com Dilation ws laborious. Tha matter was laid over until the contract Is examined. Mr. Claiborne's ordinance providing for the appointment of an assistant city attor ney for the collection of delinquent licenses, at a commission of 12 per Cent, waa taken up.

Mr. Brlttin said he was Induced to favor lh nrrilnan'M hMinM the COUrtS WOUld close In weeks, aud unless active and Vigilant aid Is scoured the city will go through the rear witn a great oeai or iia license tax uncollected. The work ought to tve commenced within a week and avery de linquent reached within thirty days thereafter. -Ha knows of a number of foreign cotton buyers woo are leaving tbe city with-ont navtng license. There are professional men wno profit ilonaliy refuse or evade tne paying Of licenses, aoctors, iawyere, uou- tists and others.

If left to the ordinary channels little will be collected. He baa la mind the right men to euleroe the collection tuis year. Mr. Claiborne said that arter tne council bad saown Its determination to collect licenses, collections In coming years would be nob easier, i ne person inoucni oi- collector by Mr. BritUn aod himself is O.

Morgan, and 12 per cent waa very rea sonable for tne work ana outlay. Mr. Charles Louque communication of fering to collect tho licenses at 10 per cent and commission waa referred to tbe city at-turnev. Mr. uiainorne'S orainanee waa reporteu upon favorably and jsesxrs.

uiarK, nriuin and Claiborne appointed a committee to watt pon City Attorney Hunt and request the appointment of H. O. Morgan under tne contract.

He said there would be a serious shortage nniess collections were pushed, and asked for aa appropriation so as to oo aula to can vass the city aod prosecute delinquents.

Tne letter was considered answered by the license ordinance. After an informal discussion on tbe water works. Dr. Beard, Jefferson gaslight and other contracts, on wbion fight is talked of. tse committee adjourned.

Tbe Street Cleaning; Movement. The street cleaning movement Is assuming tangible shape, ana citizens are coming for ward and proffering aid. A gentleman prominent In business circles, who asks that his name be not need, aod that if his letter is published It be signed "Action," writes as follows: New Okleaxs, May 21, 1883 General O. T. Beanregard.

Commissioner of Pnblio Works: Dear Sir Kecogniztng the immediate necessity of having tho streets and gaiters of this city thoroughly cleaned before tbe warm weather seta In. and knowing tbat tbe lands at your colu mn nd are ini-utDoient to aceompiisa this oMect. I beg you to accept, aa a donation. tho inclosed check, drawn to your credit for 150. This amount will pay tbe wages for one day of forty men at 91 35 per day or it will purchase a lew shovels, or pay tne nire oi a lew carta.

If 1000 citizens would each subscribe 910 for this purpose it would go a long way toward accomplishing this much de sired sanitary improvement. B. Slack Co. have written to the de partment approving Captain Fierce a plan zor city cleaning, and aay "He should receive ail the assistance re quired to carry out the good work, and at this season many teams can bo spared by their owners for this purpose. Wishing to assist in this, we take pleas ure In ousting to your department the services of two of our lsrge wagons, or four of our carta, with muiss and drivers for tne day or days to bo designated for a general cleaning up, as proposed." Commissioner Aanew has also come forward with reference to the movement.

In a letter to General Beauregard he says "This department has at its disposal a force quite sufficient to assist your saoerln tendon. In tbe work of cleaning and grading street, in ins count oi tae xoroe being placed at work, I wonld suggest that the men be kept in or oloee proximity to the polios just as possible, in older that time be saved and more labor be performed. Should this proposition meet witn your approval, be kind enough to Instruct this department wnen yon want tne rorce sens out and in What localities work will be done." General Superintendent Pierce will forma late his plans in a few dsys, and by consolidating his force with the volunteer aid expects to be aolo to maxs a good showing In the way of clean streets at aa early period. A Toar of tho Levees. General Superintendent Pleroe yesterday filed his report npon his tonr of the levees last Saturday, the result of which has already been published.

Ha states that he made tho tour from Canal street down in company with Wharf Superintendent Avegno. A vast quantity of hooppoles and slates which has been occupying much of the steamboat wharf below the sugar sheds for some time Is being removed by the owners as rapidly as possible. Just within the track of tbe Louisville and Nashville Bosd, on the same square of ground, the sugar refinery has been dumping, or had been previous to your appointment of wharhngers, refuse from their plaoe, until tbe spot resembled a regular dumping ground of tae city. Tais baa been stopped, and Captain George W. Kirk, superintendent of taa wharf lessees, kindly promises to spread and properly rover the offensive- loosing refuse in a suort time.

Notwithstanding the efforts of the superintendent and wharfinger, assisted by toe police, parties have continued to recklessly haul to, and dump on, tne levee near tne head of Hospital street, garbage and offal of the most offensive character, and, no later than last night, there was a wagon load of such stulf dumped there. A petition to his honor the mayor, sent fram this office on tho 17 lb. Inst, asking assistance iu remedying tbU matter, was met witn immediate orders to the police to arrest any and all persons offending, and last night and early this morning two arrests were made. fhe dumping of tho large load of dirt la aid to have come from some refinery. Tho vicinity of the second distriot garbage-boat or wharf has been used regularly, it seems, as a damping ground.

At the nrst reasonable opportunity I wiu have tho place thoroughly oleaued." Relative tp tha garbage-boat the superintendent said that it wiu be a very simple matter, in his opinion, to alter tho wharf no that defects may be remedied. Ballast, snells, slstes. are being moved from the levees In both tbe Second and Tnlrd dlstrlots. Mr. F.

Gonxalea. the wharfinger of the Third district, having notified all consignees or owners to haul away their property. Cattle roam about the streets and oil bo upoxn tho levees aud do oonsiderablo damage. Engineers Caoghk Napping. There was war in tha department of pnb lio works yesterday.

Word reached tbe of fice early that the heavy rain of tho night before had overflowed several portions of ths rear of tha city, and that this was ana principally to the fact that several of tho draining machines bad not gone to work until this morning. General Snperlntndnt Pierce started off at onoe on' investigation tour. He found that the Dublin avenue and Melpomene machines bad run all sight and done efficient work. The reports about the Bienville and Crimes maemnes were true, and the engineers in charge did not get an steam until o'clock this morning, wheraaa if thy bad atartad woes: at tha proper time a good deal of damage could have been avoided. The superintendent wjb saved the trouble of going to tho London avenue machine, as a large committee of gardeners called on General Beauregard smt complained of tbe engineer's neglec.

The macnlso did not turn a wheel during the nigut and in consequence the lowlands thereabout were flooded to the rein of their orwps and great damage to the carefully prepared ground. General Beauregard tooc prompt action. The engineers ail bad excuses, but they were considered lame. A fireman should always be handy and the engineers always ready to to to work at a moment's nolle. He therefore dismissed Mr.

louesan. the newly appointed engineer of the Bienville machine; Engineer T. McQuitby, of the London avenue wheel, and Engineer Martin Haber. of ths Orleans machine. New men will be la their places to-day.

Tbe Budget Committee. The eommittee on budget and assessment met last night. Cbairmnn BritUn presiding and all tne members present. Mr. Beckwtth, special attorney in the Games case, wrote to the city for an appropriation of (3000.

The original contract with him is for $10,000 to push tbe case. and be accepted on account of his knowledge of tbe vase although ne held tho fee to be inadequate. He has only received soma tJOuO ami asks for S2000 more, leaving tile rent to next year. The amount asked for barely covers tne cost of several trips to Washington this year. The matter was laid over until more knowledge of tbe city's resource is had.

There was a heavy deficit for last year and it will be impossible to work the budget out tbisyeur, all hough the present oounoil is not responsible for that. The petition of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd lor exemption from taxation was reported upon unfavorably nnder the general opinion of the city attorney. After parsing on other matters tha eommittee adjourned. Repairing- Canal Street. General Pierce' has given orders to the superintendents of the First and Second dlstrlots to permit Mr.

A. A. Martinez to haul bricks and ballast to fill holes on Canal street, provided expert workmen are engaged to maka the repairs and only hard material is used In filling tbe holes. Mr. Martinez ia understood to represent a number of citizens who have decided npon summary measures to make the really fine drive on Canal street a safe and passable road.

The department of pnblio works haa not yet examined into the queatioar of responsibility of railroads for the keeping of street passed over in good repair. As soon as that question is determined tbe department declares Its Intention of compelling the roada to live no to their duty. River Front Maps. City Surveyor Harrod will In a few days have a number of maps giving a mlnuSe view of the entire river front. Tho New Orleans and Northeastern is kindly having a copy made of the maps prepared several years ago by the Now Orleans Elevated Railway Company.

The information contained In these maps has not heretofore been in the city surveyor's office aod will be valuable. Major Harrod knows the value and correctness of the maps, as they were made under his supervision aa engineer of the elevated road. The Camp Street Calvert. The department of pnblio works has repaired all the crossings over tho Camp street culvert. The work is rough but substantial, aod ratlings have been pnt on each side oi tne.

bridges. Suspended. Keeper Andy Fleming, of the police Jail, arrested for shooting and woundiog, has been suspended by Comtnlasloner Agnew. Appointed. Commissioner Beauregard yesterday ap pointed Francis Cooper signal officer of tue lower districts, vice Sterling, resigned.

BASSSALl No Game Yesterday.

There was no game at Charleston and none at New Orleans, on account of rain and wet grounds.

McLune, TJn I ted States Minister to France. New Yobk, May 2L United States Min ister McLaue arrived from Paris yesterday. "Really, you see, I am not in a position to talk about Freicn news," he said in reply to a Herald reporter's request for his opinions on various current topics of French Interest. "Iris not easy for a gentleman In the diplomatic service to be as obliging as be would like to be to the ha n-tinued. "When I left Paris tho chambers were not in session, having taken a short vacation, so there was nothing of special interest concerning them to be heard.

The municipal elections bad just been held througnout the republic. Naturally, they attracted a great deal of attention. I don' imagine Americans realize what a tremeud ous thine these elections axe. Jnst think, 36.000 municipal elections in as many com munes, or townships. The Republicans are very mnch pleased I left tnem reioicine over the result of tbe elections.

It Is a significant tr-at nearly half a million municipal couneilore were preparing to assume all the responsl bilitles which attaches to the local govern ment or home rule, which constitutes sucn a great feature In the working of the French reoublio." What are tha chances of a civil war In France!" "No. no. there Is no Iikllhood of anything of the kind oocurring. Tbe French people do not want It. Contrary to a belief which may be more or less general, tbey are not constantly Itching for laternal dissensions.

Moreover, there is every prospect of tbe people's happiness aud prosperity in the future, tbe maintenance of peace being the almost universal desire of the mass of the French oeoDle." "You have no apprehension of the Bou- langer excitement causing bloodshed, then Oertalulv not. Bonlaneer is a very clever politician, that ia al): he is not a revolution 1st by any means. I never expect to see htm assume the control of the French gov ernment bv force of arms or iu any other way. Oh. I cannot speak oa that point.

"How about the German Question 1 "There is nothing new In It. I mean of any importance. Both nations have been gianng at eacn other ror some time, ddi glaring does very little barm. I am sure tbat the French people do not want any useless Diooasned on tnat point any more man on tha other. The real dancer of war lies In the east." "You refer to the Russian Question 1" "Yes: thev are trviug verv hard not to hasten war, but well, lt'a very doubtful whether they win sucoeed or not." "Is your visit to America on official busi ness 1 "Aot entirely in connection witn some private interests.
