The New POLICE BuL-The political Jug
gle now before the Legislature, denominated
a new police law, we understand has been set
down for the special order of the day on Thurs
day next-to-morrow. 1t appears that the
main features of this bill are designedly to make
the Chief of Police elective by the people, and
also to create three new officers. to be
called commissioners of Police" This whole
matter evidently cmanates from a political
clique, who are opposed to the present Chief of
Police. Several Of the New York delegates are
adverse to thepassage of the law, on the ground
that it again mixes the police department with
politics, the evils of which have been so much
deprecated.
The captains of police, with the exception of
four Of them have signed petition calling on
