SIGNS OF PROMISE.-A delicious streak
of Spring came upon yesterday, awakening new
homes that the season of verna spendors would not
DELAY its advent soft balmy atmosphere gave fere
tasto of the breath of June and all living things re-
oiced in the prevailing exhileration. Shame that the
oy of such day should be choked by the scandalous
condition of the streets The clouds of dust alike de-
strucive of persons and property were intolerable
Must our glorious City be converted into the sand
wastes of the pestlent Saharai Have compassion, o
s,umbering municipal fathers, for perish of this
mortal Egyptian plague.
II A characteristic masked attack upon
aWhg Police Captain appears in the official organ Of
the Common Council, evidently dictated by an Alder
whose attempt to release notorious rowdy at
midnight from the hands of the officers is well known
1t is to be regretted that this prowlng of Aldermen
around Saon.Ho for the purpose of releasing such
drunken rowdies and prostitutes may have got into
custody be at and forever broken up. To
Aderman-a wouldbe-thought virtuous citizen
leaving his family at o'clock in the morning and hur.
rying to Station House the summons of broth
ekeeper for the purpose of releasing her girls from
durance Is spectacle dissracefu that If done at ALL
il Is fifty performed under of darkness The
lease of rowdes, rioters brawlers, shorboys and all
the herd of semisavages who nightly the streets
to the and the personal injury Of quiet people, Is
an occurrence common to excite very little re-
mark. But if Police Captain has the msnness 70
tell the meserving purchasing Aldermen that he
will not give up the prisoner he Is hunted down by the
champion of Rum, Rowdyism the LocoFoco Common
Council and all other rascsles. Fortunately the Po-
lice Officer referred to has good constitution, and viii
undoubtedly survive even the venom of the official
organ"
