The subject OF further remarks.
PoLIcE-The organization Of the Police force
has progressed much TO the satisfaction Of every CT
tizen interested in the welfare of our community
and, II is highly credable TO Mayor Havemeyer, the
activity and perseverance with which lie has laborec
during the last month, to carry the provisions o.
the law, IN relation TO the establishment of this
valuable auxiliary TO the public peace and being
OF society. The frequent clamors that have been
raised by factous band of politicians calculated &c
mar the efforts Of those really interested in the wei
fare OF our citizens in relation to police force
now, happily, set at nough, and we hail with ineffa
bic satisfaction, the successful progress of the organ
Izaton OF this useful and necessary branch of the
public service, under the auspicious management Of
the Mayor. Since the passage of the ordinance au-
thorzing the appointment of such body confidence
has been restored good deal to our citizens and'
we trust, we shall shortly have to congratulate this
large community on the establishment of police
force, which IN point of numbers and qualification,
will be found sufficiently effective to guard the pub
nc peace, and protect the lives and properties Of our
citizens In every quarter OF this popuous commu-
nlty judicious distribution of the force, through
the various wards and districts, will have sautary
effect, and keep the lawess and the ill-disposed
under proper restrictions. The force is too small,
IN comparison to our vast population, and should the
Chief OF Police have occasion 10 demand in
crease, 10 strengthen and render sufficiently etfec
i've for all purposes useful body, feel conf
dent that no impeachment will be thrown in the way.
We have long since, and frequently advocated the
appointment of this body, to guard the interests OF
our citizens, and should any defects occur in
The present system, now in the course Of
operation, we are less disposed to cavil with them
than we are DESTROYS 10 suggest any Improvements
IN the organization that we may deem necessary.
We want Police force, and hope the present expe-
rlment, irrespective of party considerations, will be
allowed fair trial, and lprove, what all so much
desire, perfectly successful. There are already ap
pointed for the First Ward forty-nine, for the Sc.
cond thlrty-fv Third thirty one, Fourth hrty-two,
Twelfth seventeen. The organization will shortly
be completed.

suggested in the said courts.
