The Police and the Kidnappsrs.

We have learned within few years good
deal about the skilful maneuyres Of both these
parties in Washington 1t has been pretty mucn
nip-and-tuck race with them Their plots ana
counterplots are both instructive and ednying'
Latterly the police have had rather the best oft
and the business of kidnapping has been sus-
pended, If not destroyed, The capture OF Chap
lin, and of the mulatto Warner Harris, was a
severe blow upon the enterprise. 1t was a pretty
serious undertaking, and managed with consum-
mate skill extraordinary perseverance, rather
formidable expense, and no little of the strategy
for which the modern Vidocqs are very consid-
erably distinguished,
We have often heard police officers denounced
in severe terms and sometimes apparently by
a whole community; and yet we have never
known q successful officer to be thrown out Of
his profession. Why9 Because nine-tenths Of
the odium he encounters proceeds from the fact
that he is efficient! II is tbankless office, an
unpleasant Office, dangerous office, and gen
orally poorly recompensed withal

There is anxious inquiry in this city for Mr.
Green--Mr. j. w Green-the Rev. Mr. j.
w. Green There were both fun and sadness
at the Post Office Department yesterday,
on his account 1t appears that in Philadelphia,
few days ago, he made himself known to a
number of religious brethren preached sermon,
in fact and lectured Sunday school; and then
manifested his partiality for the brethren by ap-
pointing no less than FIVE Of them secret agents
Of the Post Office Department, at 81, 500 year
and travelling expenses. They each gave him
land this was rather ugly in them, tool twenty
five dollars! just then il happened that a tele-
graphic despatch called him to New York.
The gentlemen appointed prepared themselves
for their new yocation--one by selling out his
furniture, and another by disposing of his gro
Gerry store also Three of them yesterday re-
ported themselves for duty. Hobbie, Warren,
and Marion were all puzzled for q moment, hut
the light soon broke in upon them. Hobbie got
angry at the unknown gentleman who had made
such free use of his name and official preroga-
tive Warren was conyused with laughter and
Marion, who never forgets either business or de-
corum, gave it MS his opinion that there was
something wrong! The disappointed gentlemen
were decidedly of this opinion, and also felt
somewhat blank Iot
We should be very sorry for them, IL they
could make it appear right to give 1875 for an

North American and European Railroad.

Hon. j. Washburn, jr., of Maine, delivered an
excellent speech last Wednesday, upon memo
rial that he had previously presented to the
House, asking for an appropriation of public
lands to the State of Maine in aid Of an impor-
tant and truly national work, viz: the construc-
ton of railroad through the wilds of Maine to
complete the iron chain to Halifax, and to con-
meet with line of fast steamers thence to Gal
way in Ireland. 1t will be a high road Of travel
to Europe. 1t will benefit New Orleans or Nor
folk as much as Bangor or New York. The
traveller to Europe will not only escape the fogs
of Newfoundland and the dangers of st. Georges
Channel, but he will shorten his sea-voyage
nearly one-half in days and distance 1t is pro-
posed to put upon this International ferry DAILY
line of the swiftest sea-steamers; and it will be
done as soon as this European and North Ameri-
can road is built A strong reason urged for
this grant Of land is, that Maine gave up nearly
&. OOO. 900 of acres to settle the Northeastern
boundary question in the treaty made by MIR.
Webster and Lord Ashburton She now asks
only ], 1000, 900 of acres to build road which
can in no other way be built--a road which will
be portion of the grand trunk railway that is |
to span the continents link in the vast CLAIM,
Of which the Missouri road may form part,
which is to be stretched from Halifax to San
Francisco
For the successful prosecution Of this before |
Congress, it could not be in better hands than
Mr. washburn's, He is a new member, and has
already evinced ability, elcquence, and sound
practical craftsmanship.
