Is our Chief Of Police aware that cousdera
bic number of his subordinates are active men,
bers Of Know Nothing lodges and regular attend
ants of their meetings! Perhaps he don't know
nor care that one Of the most cherished objects
of the Know Nothines in this City ia his removal
from Office (,cs care nothing about that but we
will reprint for his refreshmeht and theirs the
following extract from the RULES and Regula-
"tons for the government Of the Police Depart
"ment of the City Of NewYork," published in
1853:
V37. The right to vote is guaranteed by the Consti
stitution TO every citizen Of the United States but in
order TO full discharge of the very important
duties confded to the force no member of the Police
Department will be permitted to connect himself d.
rectly or in any way with society, club, committee
organization of any kind the object of which ia
the political advancement of party, clique or indi
vidua"
This seems to US very just and proper-it is
certainly what the people bargsined for when they
consented to extend the term of Police service to
one of good behavior. We hope to hear and real
ize that the Chief thinks it wholesome regula-
tion, and means to have il enforced.

OF the three, we see not how sny earnest Anti
Nebraska man can fail to vote for Harvey W.

Our first choice, however. Of al the men re-
siding in the Ist District would be JAMES MAU-
RICE, provided always that he would act in oppo-
sition to the Slave Power as steadily in the future
as be did LAST Session. II we lived in that Dis
trict we should 90 to Mr.. Maurice whom we
have never yet seem and ask him Will you

"liskment or legalizstion of Slavery m any and

members in such measures of resistance to the
"Nebraska Iniquity as they may deem eXpe-
dientl"-snd if he answered both questions
Yes, we should vote TO send him back, and try
to persuade others to do so.
This is our answer also to various letters and
paragraphs ipquiring whether we favor the re-
turn OF this or that Member to the next Congress.
We do not pretend to say who are and who are
not true men among our present Delegatior-that
can best be determined by those who know them,
and who have facilities unshared by US for ascer-
tanning their views. We have said often enough
that we think all the true mtn in the present Con-
eress ought 10 Be- returned and that is still our
opinion. Wing or Democrat, Hard or Soft, we
should prefer TO see every Member returned who
is disposed to fight out to the end the controversy
begun by the Nebraska bill. The passage of that
bill was a surprise-we were not fairly beaten
upon it-no Congress could have been elected to
pass it, if the People were made aware Of the in
tention. We want the next Free State Delega-
tons in Congress composed of men determined to
get back all the ground lost to the North by the pas
cage of the Nebraska bill, and erect barrier
against any future outrage like that To this end,
weprefer old Members to new ones, so that they be
right for we think these manifestly likely to uu-
derstand the work better and possess more inau-
ence than new men can generally do. We do not
decide who are true men in our present Congress;
but we DO wish these who are to be reelected,
no matter of what party. Will those who agree
with US in sentiment look to this matter II
not even yet too late.

THE BARR CASE.

The result Of the SANDER suit of Barr against
Erben has now been two days public, and we
have not heard single whisper of regret at the
failure to find verdict We think the jury
might have given the plaintiff ak cents without
exciting any strong popular discomfort; but any
larger amount would have been received with 8
storm of Kisses.
In saying this, we intimate no opinion adverse
to Aid. Bars official integrity Whether he did
or did not receive money for appointing tbs or
that member of the Smith family to Office, is a
point which the jury have not adjudcated, and
we shall not But it is abundantly proved that
Mr.. Erben supposed he had, and that Mr.. L. g
statements with regard to him were made in per-
feet good fath-not from any personal i'll will
against Aid. Barr, but in aid of the good cause Of
City Reform-not on the street corners, nor in
any skulkiDg way, but in a meeting of citizens
intent on the arrest of official corruption, where
the official conduct Of Aldermen was matter Of
legitimate inveitgation and the exposure of their
shortcomings public duty. If, then, it were
demon trated that Mr.. Erben was mstaken-that
AID. Barr never did take m ney for appointments
"a verdict against the former would have been
unjust and oppressive.
Our judges are behind every other class in the
perception of vital truth in the premises. They
are fettered and blinded by precedents originating
under institutions radically different from ours,
in countries where the criticism of official acts by
private citizens is deemed presumptuous, imperti-
lent, and milder sort of treason. Under such
institutions, the exposure of supposed malyersa-
tiOns is frowned upon by the hereditary wielders
of power; while here, the power resting ulti-
mately in the whole People, such exposure is most
essential to the public veal, and be who is led
into error while honestly endeayoring to expose
misrule and arrest corruption ought to be
shielded by the State which he is faithfully serv-
ing from vindictive persecution.
Such ought to be the doctrine, such the spirit,
of our Courts, which could topple over some
hundreds Of malicious and vindictiye libel and
SANDER suits by one Opinion or Charge saturated
with republican common sense. Men In otiee or
candidates must expect to encounter criticism,
suspicion, sometimes misapprehensOn the Pub
lie Good demands that the largest liberty Of scru
tiny and discussion with regard to their charsc-
tiers, acts motives, respectively, should be up
held; and no one should ever be convicted Of
libel and SANDER uttered in canvassiDg their
official conduct, unless upon proof of personal
malice and conscious falsehood One Judicial
Opinion to this effect would clear our Court Cal.
eniars Of some scores Of trumpery SUITE, which
involve a great deal mere malice than was
evinced in ali the inculpations on which they are
funded and would enable suitors who have real
grievances to get within sight of Justice

CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS.

A German asks US to give the names OF the re-
spectiye candidates for Congress in the list District
(Staten Island and Long Island except Brooklyn
and WILLIAMSBURG and to say no y they stand
on the Nebraska and 80 Know Nothing" questions.
We answer:
The names of the three party candidates have
repeatedly appeared in our columns-yesterday
for the last. Mr.. Allen is By position DOuglaste,
and if elected is pledged not only to uphold the
assumed right of the Shareholders TO carry Slavery
into Nebraska and Kansas if they can secure To-
cal ascendency in those Territories, but to sItend
the same principle TO all Territories heregter to be
organized If the Sandwich Islands are annexed,
as they are morally certain soon to be, Slavery
and Freedom must have wrestle for them, the
Federal Government acting as bottle holder and
contemplating the result with supreme ildifer-
ence. So with regard to Dominica, Cuba, and all
our prospective acquisitions. Mr.. Allen could
rot, as an upholder of the Hard platform, cast
vote or exert an influence calculated to exclude
Slavery from any of our present or future Terri
tories, but must maintain In attitude of entire in
activity aud "nOn-interventiOn, while every
Member from Slave State would feel constrained
to exert every possible influence and strain every
nerve in favor of Slavery Extension. OF course,
battle wherein one party fights and the other
remains neutral can have but one result
Mr.. Lord (sOft) is likewise committed BY the
State Convention OF his party to the support of
the principles OF the Nebraska bill, and we pre-
sume would feel bound as party map to act &C.

The arrival Of two California steamers yester-
day brings US teeming budget Of news from
California, Oregon, Sandwich Islands, South
America, the Arctic Ocean, Kamschatka and ST.

of tie steamer Yankee Blade which left San
Francisco on the 30th of September, but had not
arrived at Panama up to the time of the depart
ure of the George Law, the steamer of yesterday
on the Panama line. The business and mining
news from California is of cheering character.
Trade has greatly revived the yield of gold is not
stiuted, and the returns of agriculture are pro-
fuse. The successful candidates for the Legisla-
ture are announced in our columns. A ffightful
massacre of immigrants by the Indians has taken
place on the Plains, and one still more hideous
near Fort Boise in Oregon. The sang1fnary de-
tails will be read with thrill of horror. The
news from Behring's Straits is of remarkable in
terest 1t is announced by arrivals of British
men-ofwar at San Francisco that the long missing
chip Enterprise, which sailed for England in
search of Sir John Franklin, had arrived at Fort
Clarence. Several interesting particulars Of her
voyage will be found under the proper head.

The law is said to be the perfection of human
reason; but if it be So ii is most unfortunate in
its ministers and expounders This truth has re-
ceived many striking illustrations, NOT the least
among which is that afforded by the ruling of the
Court at Philadelphia in the case Of Stephen L.
Beale, dentist. Beale lie charged by most res
pectable young lady with having committed the
grossest outrage upon her while she was attend
Eng at his office for the purpose of undergoing
painful operation on her teeth and while she was
under the influence Of chloroform, which rem
dered her utterly helpless and unable to move
finger or utter sound though perfectly con-
scious and rational. Beale's defense i'm plies that
she is truthful but mistaken-that her belief that
she was abused by him is mental Authorization
caused by the chloroform, and he is is allowed by
the Court to introduce witnesses to testify that
they have labored under similar hallucinstions
while under the influence of chloroform. He
also introduces witnesses who swear to his gen.
ersl good character. So far, good. But now the
public prosecutor proposes to prove in his turn
that other women have been subjected to out
rage by Beale while under the influence of chic
reform professionally administered by him, but
thistle Court rules out! The prosecutor may prove
general bad character if he can, but not specific
acts tending to show him the basest and most
treecherous of villains, and irresistbly leading
