The New POLICE BnL-The Mayor of this
city has given notice that if the new police bill
before the Legislature is passed into law he
will throw up his commission, and he will be
justified in doing 3d. The efficiency Of our city
government has been sufficiently crippled
already by these misapplied notions of popular
reform, and if the powers of the Mayor be fur
Their reduced, even Fernando Wood may hang
up his fiddle. Our new charter has proved a
deplorable piece Of mockery, and it only needs
q few additional amendments, like the new
police bill to turn over the corporation, bag
and baggage, into the hands of the pugilsts at
our primary elections. What we want is
new charter, somewhat upon the system OF the
federal government, placing all the legislative
power in the two Councils, and the supreme ex-
ecutive power over all departments in the
hands of the Mayor With such charter, in
the hands of such q man as Mayor Wood, we
might count upon safe and efficient govern
ment, and an unsatisfactory man could be re-
moved. We should like to know whether the
election r0wdies Of Tammany Hall or the
Broadway House are at the head Of this new
police bill.

The DEATH or Bill POoI.E--Much noise IS
character, and in one sense it is an event of
some importance. Bill Poole was one of class
of men who rose into notoriety some twenty
years ago when the fashion began of pacsing
the primary elections and selling the noniina-
tons. He and others by their superior ply
steal strength and pugilistic ability, completely
excluded honest, respectable men from these
assemblies aid for years and years were in the
habit Of selling every nomination to the highest
bidder. In fact these men lived on what they
made in this way, were regularly employed to
fight by one party or the other at every cleo
ton, and were sometimes even sent off special
into the country to manage canvass or bully
q convention. When the Know Nothing revo-
luton broke out, and honest men began once
more to rise up against this system Of black
gusIdism and pugilism, the fighters were
thrown out of employment. For some time we
have heard less and less OF them; then we heard
they were fighting among themselves as SOL
diers usually do when they are disbanded; and
now we hear that Bill Poole is shot dead in a
beastly affray at drinkiog house in Broad
way. A fit end to such Q career! and deeply,
deeply ought we to be thankful to the Know
Notbings that the unfortunate man who Ia
dead and the wretcbes who killed him are not
still banded together 10 disgrace this city by
controlling its elections.

The Governor, Mr.. Clark, drew the sct Of last

Lieutenant Governor and few others who only
