day Witnessed the opening of our City Public Schools,
Of which we have already spoken. These two sys-
TENS of public and and private instruction doubtless
e,ert improving influences upon each other and we
never expect TO zee the time whom either one will be
entirely dispensed with. They are founded in the

The COMMISSIONERS OF PoLIcE.-This body met
on Saturday in the City Hall for the purpose OF con.
sidering applications for admission to the Police De-
par'ment This is the first time in nearly two months
that the COMMISSIONS have met and since their last
session vast annuut of business relative to the Po
lice Department has accumulated The terms Of
many Ct the and officers have expired recently;
in consequence Of which great blank has been left
in the force
The basement hall on Saturday morning was
crowded with applicants for appointment and old
members seeking reappointneit There were between
800 and 400 present among wlom was George Nor
rs, applicant for the Captaincy Of the Tenth Ward
in the place Of Capt Bradford, whose term Of Office
hes expired. Capt. Turnbull, of the Eighth Ward,
whose term has also expired, was also seeking a re.
appointment.
We understand that there are nearly two hundred
vacancies in the Department, and from the large
number of applicants, there is scarcely doubt but
that The Commissioners select men who will hoe
'stIy and faithfully perform their duty The Com.
mlisioners in making these and other appointments
SHOULD neither listen to or consider the claims Of
friendship or politics. but appoint only those whom
ai'er due examination, they believe to be eminently
qualified for tle Office. The Commissioners are es-
teemed to be honest aud upright men, and would pro-
baby scout at the idea of receiving any political
favor at the hands of police-oficer yot, from ap
pointments that have been made by them 10 some of
The Wards, and from the character of certain men
who may have been seen urging the claims of appli-
cants no other belief be entertained but that the
approaching election has received its due consdera
ton in the Board Nearly hree-fourths OF the Police
force is composed of Irishmen and Germans; aud
great proportion Of these feel DO further interest in
their business than TO draw their pay every fortnight
The political career of the present Commissioners is
drawiDg to a close and it is sincerely to be hoped
that in making these probably their last appoint
mens, they will select good men, who will fesrlessly
perform their duty and reflect credit upon the City
