Great Britain (snd OF some Others than conserve

cans bave Of their own importance In the world.
There Is use In proving to such satlrsts that, In
the deeIe and largest sense, the Americans can
not txaggcnte the importance of their country and
nation smoDg the Powers Of the nineteenth century.
The thing has been proved multitude Of times, and
oil to purpose In regard to that order Of minds;
and to . higher order Of minds than those which
despise the United States, no proof is ree1ed. To
soy that there is federal democratic republic at
work in the world, supporting all national rcsPons
more rapidly in material prosperity than any other
nation In tie world Is to proclaim, In other words,
the lefty style and title Of the United States. Bat
for those who cannot see and feel this there ID other

that the Gear spares no pains TO provide occupation

cause In Europe. The Gear has hitherto always
succeeded, because be well knows the weak point OF
the American system, and can always throw that
one fearful sore. He nnds aud makes plenty Of

There are also always in that country. as in every

We may congratulate the people Of Canada on the

rejoice at this event for two reasonsfrst, because
Il IL the contamination Of just and true principle;
and secondly. because believe It to lead directly
to great practical improvement. The Canada
Clergy Reserves bill has established, at least for Ca
NADIA the principle that in local matters the local le
gislatufe to be supreme and that NO difference Of
opinion between the Imperial ParliA nent and that
body would be sufficient to warrant an infraction
Of their tight to govern themselves. We say re-
CARDS Canada, because the aboltive Colonial Church
Bulls OF the last and the present session were clear
infractions Of this very principle. The present bin
Is further step In advance and declares that among
local matters Is to be consideredthe very conituon

who is Chief Of PoIice7

81
We have refrained from joining in the gen
eral denunciation Of the Police Board, for abel
ishing the office Of Chief Of Police, because we
desired to see the facts presented in some authen
tic shape, and because we were not prepared TO
subscribe to all the positions assumed by the
opponents Of that act.
whether the office was abolished on account
Of the good or bad administration Of the IN
cumbent, is q question upon which we have had
but one statement 1t has been boldly alleged
that the Chief was sacrificed to appease the ire
Of certain delinquents, who still retain oonsid-
cradle political infuence-that he rendered
himself obnoxious By his energy and fidelity IN
prosecuting certain class Of offenders, II this
be true, it would aggravate the improperly Of
the acts for to abolish the office for the acts OF
the incumbent, is neither q wise or lawful mode
of reaching him. 1t is, in fact, an evasion OF
the requirements of the law that man shall
not be suspended or~removed but upon charges
made.
On this ground, therefore, if the motive Of
the act be the conduct of the Chief we should I'M
hesitatingly condemn the abolition Of the office.
But why may not wise and legal motive exist
for this act The Legislature has certainly left
it to the Board Of Police to determine whether
this office be necessary or not. This provision
implies doubt whether the office might not be
dispensed with. To decide this question the
Board is not limited as to time. It may at any
time exercise this power. It may think the
Office necessary in May and change that opinion
in August. 1t is strictly legislative power,
and may DO exercised at any time.
Assuming, therefore, as scarcely questionable,
that the Board may dispense with the Office o.
chief Of police, what will be the effect Of that
act iu regard to the police Of the city Will il
destroy that order, union and subordination
which we admit to be necessary to the efficiency
Of police, as Of military corps! We thinl
not. Its effect will be to vest the Mayor, unde
the.clause Of the net Of 1858, with the control 0
the police, which makes it his duty g to see tina
the laws and ordinances Of the city Of New Or
leans be properly executed and " that hi
shall be -oficio justice and conservator of tn
peace" This clause endows him with all tn
powers necessary to the chief of police. Thi
Office was created by an ordinance Of the cit
council, passed under the Consolidation aci
The only change in that act by the law of 1869
is in transferring to the Board Of Police tb
power of appointment, suspension and remoya
and the enactment of the necessary rules for th
government of the police. The Mayor still COL
tinues virtually chief Of the police. The yariot
captains are subordinate to him, must obey h
orders, and execute his commands. Now tn
