The Mayor of New Orleans Will Ask for the Italian Consul's Recall.
NEW ORLEANS, May 9.—On the 7th instant, Mr. Corte, Italian Consul at this city, addressed a communication to Foreman Chaffe, of the Grand Jury, charging, among other things, "that an extra judicial body appointed by the Mayor from the beginning premeditated for political purposes the killing of the prisoners."
This statement has given the Mayor great offense, the extra judicial body to which reference is made being the committee of fifty appointed by his honor immediately after the killing of Chief Hennessy.
That they should be characterized as a murderous body for political purposes has occasioned great indignation. The committee has commenced the preparation of a report which will give in detail their connection with the matter. This will be submitted to the Mayor and Council on Tuesday, and on the basis of the report, the Mayor will take the necessary action leading to the recall of the Italian Consul.
