TIE OH POLICE DISPOSED TO ENJOYMENT:
Our reporter was credibly informed that few even
pss since seventeen Of the members OF she Wood Po-
lice recently appointed in the FAh wardto Gil vscsn-
cies. called IN body at house Of prostitution in
Church street. After being admitted they called ca
champagne, sud after enjoying themselves gorioUsly
at the expenv Of the prOpret, they retired and %
returning their companions reported progress Five
others concluded % achieve a siIa,ar success, and at
ONCE called at the house on the errind They
got their wine, drank i and leH she permissible
proprietor mutterirS something about suckers as
they departed.
Tty NEW APPOINTEsSTs on THE OLD POLICE.
In many Of the wards there is q great difficulty ex-
periepced in getting mca to I'll the vacancies occa
stoned by the members OF he force declaring for the
new Commissioners. In the PiAh Ward the district
has been secured to get men and though some time
has passed there are vet several vacancies. A fort
night since an old loaer who hss often been locked up
n the Fifth Ward Station for drunkenness offered
position on the Wood force. Hc said he would sc-
cept and proceeded TO the Mayors Office; but as he
was about to be sworn he nqui-ed about the pay of
the police and was informed that the old Commission
ers could assume no responsibility in that regard,
though they had no doubt that the-CoErt of Appeals
would decide the unconstitutionaiity of the law
in which event the pay would be cersin.
The assurances were not satisfactory; the uncer-
tainy of the EScheQuer decided the olfciow at once.
He thought il better TO be loafer with inward
surance OF precsrous living than TO be policeman,
insure of any living whatever and he declined the
doubtful honor and EFT the place without taking his
oath.
Another new appointed on the Wood force in the
Fifth Ward. was man appointed under Mayor West
ervel during the latter part of his term OF office.
few weeks after Mayor Wood having in the meantime
been elected the man dismissed from the service
for drunkenness. But in the present eXgenoy old
are overlooked aud he now stands worthy gepresen-
tative of the Wood Police.
The credit of the appontees, too, seerEs 10 be
a negative quantity. tailor in Hudson street has
received orders to make the regulation parts for six
different men. He has determined to fill the order
when the money is paid.
RELIES FOR THE WOUNDED POLICEMEN.
We would call attention to the notice issued the
other day by Coroner Perry requesting the public 10
contribute toward the relief of the Metropolitan
Policemen who were wounded while acting posse
conuitafus Their families are lily able TO bear the
enhanced expenditures entailed upon them by the
violence Of the Mayor men, and 1t is not certain that
they will receive any compensation for their services.
They were injured in unfolding the majesty Of the
law and are eminently entitled to the sympathy and
assistance of every conservative, lawabdiug citizen.
ANY pecuniary assistance left at The TRIBUNg office
will be duly handed over 10 Coroner Perry and faith
fnlly applied to the relief of the suffering policemen.
