The course they can pursue is very simple
Laws prohibiting the throwing of filth into the
streets exist in our municipal statute book.
Those laws have always been violated, because
neither the police nor the street inspector have
ever cared about enforcing them. 1t would be
waste OF breath to ask them to do any thing of
the kind now. But they, like all other officers,
are responsible in a certain measure for the full
flment Of their duty. Any private citizen who
Is annoyed by the presence of nth in his street,
can easily find out who is the policeman on du-
~, who the street inspector, and who the
wretch who thus places the lives of his neigh
bors in jeopardy. A complaint against the for
mer might lead to beneficial results. and pro-
badly would. The latter could easily be con-
victed Of infringing the ordinance, and duly
punished. A few cases Of this kind would at
all events have the effect of stirring up the no.

The Commissioners would of course visit the
negligent policeman with the severest penalty

that bis offence in this instance is the glaver in
proportion to the magnitude of the danger to
which we are oil exposed. Carele ssness, when
so many lives are at stake, and such frightfu
risks are being run, almost amounts to muir
der. Practically, the policeman who fails to
report filth in any Of the close, narrow
streets, which abound in certain of the
thickly populated wards, aids and abets in the
destruction of his fellow citizens. Nor is the
negligent householder blameless. A man who
sees garbage laid in his street, and says nothing
about it, allows the lives Of his family to be
assailed daily, and takes no measures for their
protection. He standsiQ the same light as the
coward who stands by calmly while rowdies are

Count Boulbon's Defeat.

The San Diego Herald gives the following
account of the last battle of Count Raousse,
de Boulbon, of whose execution we have pre-.
viously been informed:
After organizing his force, he made de.
monstratiOn against the government, where
apon the SOnorians turned out In force, aided
by one company Of Germans under captain q
Seafedt, and one of Irish and other forei On ers,
with two heavy cannon and one howitzer. The
Germans and Irish suck CLOSELY to the Seno
rians A desperate config. look place in Ae
streets of Guaymas, between the opp0sff2
forces. a--E - "a ."i-l-' .-
The battery was served with terrible effect
by the Germans and Irish, and numbers Of
the French fell at every discharge, Still,
headed by Bourbon, they charged furiously up
to the very mouth Of the cannon, but were
again rep lsed with great loss. .v1G ~ s--
BOulbon's force amounted to nearly 400 men,
all Of whom are represented to have fought
with desperate courage But the Germans
and Irish, with their cannon, could not be
dislodged, while the Mexicans, taking heart,
assailed the French On all sides.
In the midst of the conflict, Boultou chal-
lenged the Colonel of the Sonorian forces TO
single combat. 1t was accepted, and as they
were approaching each 1-other, Boulbon, was
struck IN the neck with an escopette ball, and
fell severely wounded from his horse. ~
The SOnorians, Germans and Irish, set up a
shout of triumph, and the French immedi-
diately ceased firing, and surrendered Boul-
bon was taken, and was to be executed by the
Sonori ans, even in his wounded condition, i'm
