POLICE REFORM AND THE New CoRrokArIoN
We find in an obscure paper which circulates in
few Of the grog-shops, that the new Corporation
Attorney has published letter on Police Reform,
which may be regarded as an official declaration of
the sentiments Of the new Common Council. Here

At the meeting held in the Park it was among other
things unanimously resolved, that We emphatcaly and
explicitly call upon the country members and the Lesis
ature generally to respect Wishes and to do US JUS

Of the present Mayor and Common Council Of the city Of
New York in short, that no bill be passed which Wil

These were the instructions to the delegation which
was sent to Asaa to demonstrate against the OF

This is most singular epistle. If it had ema-
mated from private individual we should have
passed it over without any remark, but coming as
it does from the new Attorney of the new Corpo-
ration, the probability is that it expresses the sent
ments of that body on the important subject OF
Police Reform. So it seems that after all the bile
and declamation-all the pledges and promises
made by the new party, we are not to have any
Police Reform. In lieu of that we are to have
jaunts to the Aims House-pic MICS on Randal's
lsland--junkettings at Heaven knows where
varied by defamation about the Pope, the scarlet
lady, the church of the seven hills, Bishop Hughes
and all that sort of thing
The apology which "S. Sammons'' offers for this
neglect Of duty and violation Of solemn pledges on
the part Of the new corporation, exhibits a consi
derable deal OF brass. They want time I! This is
the very excuse which the two old parties were in
the habit of making. "Oh I! give us time-we want
time-we must have time" This was their con-
nual cry from year TO year. The last Corporation
promised to give us this reform, and MIR Tlllou
introduced report and resolution on the subject al
the first second meeting, but there it lay on the
table till near the end Of their corporate existence,
when plan was proposed not worthy of mo-
ment's attention
So then, after all, this new Reform Corporation
are determined to follow in the footsteps of heil
immediate predecessors. Trips to Randall's Island
defamation about the Pope of Rome and Bishop
Hughes-and the division of the spos amongst
their friendsths is to be the extent of their reform
labors. Once more we implore them to do their
duty-let them leave Bishop Hughes to us, and al
once set about fulfilling their pledges.
INDIAN COMMUNICATIONS GREAT POPULARITY
We have been put in possession of the subjoined
documents, TO which we give publicity with grea,
pleasure, as they serve to show another excellent
trait In the character OF the Indians referred to,
addition to that "touch of nature of which
mention has been already made, as occurring on
Saturday last at the encampment.
Great as is the number of visitors who of Sun
day particularly, went to Hoboken, since the arr
val Of the present party of the Children of the
Forest, they have increased to an amazing extent
On Sunday last no less than twenty-six thousand
are estimated to have gone to these strangers
expressly; and at moderate calculation, the New
York Ferry Boats brought over fully thirty thou
sand spectators.
