TIE SrooL PIeBoS BusINEss-ASoTHKR OF THE
GANG ARRESTED In our police intelligence to-
day, there will be found an account of the arrest
of person on whose steps the police have had
their eye for some time, and who is well known to
be an associate of the famous oo-pigeon gang in
this city, of which the National Police Gazette is
The accredited organ We desire our readers TO
peruse the account of this arrest, the cause which
produced it, the transactions out of which il grew,
and the whole morale of this bit of stool-pigeon
business.
The stooLpgeoR business in this city has net been
SO brisk nor prosperous, of late, as the cotton
trade in England, or the gold dust commerce in Ca
lforna. The confederacy of stool pigeons, with
their various ramihcatons, of whom the Nitor.n
Police Gazette is the organ, with some electric
wires running into politics, has lately m Il with
many serious reverses and is destined to meet with
great many more Their las, grand efi,rt, through
the medium of politics, and the generalization of
Tammany Hall, to put into the Office of District
Attorney of this city, a man Of their own, has
been entieely defeated, knocked in the head,
Frustrated, and kicked out of existence. This,
however, will not be their last misfortune. The
associates Of the gang have been running away,
east and inest, and in every direction. Thomas
Warner is in Europe, Marcus Tulius Cicero
Stanley, and others, are on their way to Califor-
MIA. 1t is true this latter worthy, with of the
robbers of the Bank of Rhode Island, and preba-
bly, accompanied by one Of the burglars who stole
the Jewels in Washington, has been rusticating in
kentucky, awaiting the result of the recent cleo
ton here. The result is, no doubt, known to him
at this time, and his retreat to California may now
be considered certain. The time is approaching
when justice will assuredy overtake the remain.
ing heads, contrivers, and managers, of the gang
who are still remaining in this city, and still en-
deavorng to pour forth their violence and their
lbels, through the columns of the Police Gasette,
and other congenial journals that have been
will soon come on in Poughkeepsie-probably some
time next month. The proceedings against One
eyed Thompson are by no means suspended; but
above and beyond all, we have no doubt, that in
due process of time numerous indictments will be
found against other portions of the gang, for
spiracies and crimes OF various descriptions that
have been perpetrated by them against innocent
and unofiending men, during the last few years.
Thus, II is certain thatthe regime of stoolpgeon
influence at the Tombs, in this city, is passing away,
and that an era ofjustice for all these confederaes
is very rapidly approaching There is in Brooklyn
similar stool pigeon influence, which has exer-
cised to some purpose its sway over the minds of
certain judicial functionaries in that bailiwick.
The day of retribution for both stool pigeons and
their functionares, will be at hand across the
water

The discharge Of Col. Curtis.

] The wing presses ofthe State are harping up
on this act Of the Board Of Public Works, as
thoughlit were u political sin. Those who
originated this foolish outcry, are guilty of an
indirect falsehood, by attempting to lead the
public mind into what they kneao to be an error.
Those who have echoed the cry, being ignorant
Of the facts, among whom are the Tribune and
Telegraph, of this City, occupy the same place
in the estimation ofthe intelligent portion Of the
community, as all other echoes do.
The facts are, that Col Curtis was originally
employed but for six months, and has been
retained in Office much longer than he anticipa-
ted He has, and no doubt will again, express
to the public his entire satisfaction with the &C
ton of the Board, and we doubt not will even
commend that action being bat proper
regard for that economy which he, as public
officer has not failed to recommend
The surveys and estimates for the entire work
being completed, why should the Board retain
an Engineer, at salary of s., 500 year, wher
one fully competent for the work in its present
stage, can be obtained at a much less sum.
| What a cause must that be which requires it:
advocates to resort to such foolish expedients fo
| its sustainance! ....- .-..~ .... Do.

abiding to this interesting union Of communion.
lists Of different colors and races, in which all
believers in Christ were then invited to unite.
The services were deeply interesting to those
who reject on the influence Of the church for
good or for evil. May this new branch from the

We last week published the proceedings, SC

notes, and recollection. Nothing remains bu,
to make such corrections and supply such omis.

We stated that the last clause of the eighth
resolution, reported by the committee, was laid

whole resolution was so disposed Of and that the

promptness in introducing into the U. S. Senate
the bill for the appropriation of land to the Du.

We had no intention to mislead, as limited by
the Tribune, but relied, perhaps too much upor
