POLICE EF1C1ENcY.-One of the most loath-
some and diabolica1 crimes that ever brought
disgrace upon community was perpetrated on
Friday night, in this city, by three ruffians.
One of them, by some sort of accident, fell into
the hands of the police. He offered, if an
officer were sent with him, to point out the
hiding place If the other two The offer was
accepted, and--as was to be expected-the ruff
fan made his escape from the policeman who
had him in charge. That is the story told by
the police Can it possibly be true? Is it
credible that q man accused of murder, and
said to be well known to the police as lawless
character, would be afforded this chance Of es-
cape? And how was the arrest of the other
two desperadoes to be effected by this single
policeman? These are questions which will
suggest themselves to any one hearing of the
circumstance. They raise strong suspicious as
to the completely of the police in the matter;
and if there was no such completely, then it is
quite evident that the officer in charge of the
station knew nothing of his duty Which was
it-connivance at the escape of man charged
with murder, or most shameful derelictioR of
duty?

INFORMATION WASTED.-Two or three weeks
ago report was made to the Common Council
of this city by committee appointed to inves-
tigate its financial affairs. That report revealed
q state of things that was utterly disgraceful to
our officials, and showed how the city has been
defrauded to the amount of several millions Of
dollars What we now want to know is the
fate of that report What has been done with
it or about it? Has it been distracted or put
in the CRATE? Certainly there has been no at
tempt to answer, explain, or refute Its state
ments. 1t stands now an untried indictment
against many of our city officials. Until some
show of meeting the indictment is made they
must remain incriminated. Are they content to
remain in that position or is it feared that fur
ther investigation will lead to further expo
sures? We demand In the name Of the people,
that that exposition of affairs be not smothered
up, but that either measures be taken for acting
practically on the report, or that the committee
be continued

EFFECT OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS on EMGRA-
noS.-One effect of the financial pressure and
the dreary prospect of the coming winter has
been to produce to certain extent a returning
emigration from this country to Europe. So
far the exodus has been limited In numbers aud
confined to the manufacturing towns of New
England; and il is very doubtful whether 1t will
increase to any considerable amount as the win
| ter advances.
II is natural enough that the Irish who found
employment In the factories, and amassed a
little money by their labor, should be stimulat-
ed to return to their native country by the two
fold cause which now presents itself-the sudden
revulson Of commercial affairs here and the
apparent Improvement in the physical condition
| of Ireland. But as far as the Germans are con-
cerncd, there is not the same inducement for .
| returning emigration. In Germany the politi-
cal aspect of affairs has not materially altered
The laws are not less oppressive than they were
nine years ago; the petty princes not less impe-
rious and exacting; the taxation is not less
onerous; nor are the military laws, which com
pei every man to give the best portion Of his
life to the state, relaxed. Political causes, more
| than absolute want, swelled the emigration from
the German States; while pressing poverty, the
result no doubt of political grievances, was the
prime motive power in the Irish exodus. That
the financial crisis will materially affect emgra-
ton from Europe to these shores for some
time is obvious; because, In the fret
place. the means furnished by the friends
Of the emigrant from this country will
not be forthcoming; and again, be-
cause the gloomy prospects of the approach
ing season will deter the tmd and the doubt
full. The packet ships from Liverpool aud Brc-
men next spring will sail with lighter load of
human freight than usual. But II must not be
supposed that our monetary troubles will exer-
else any permanent influence on emigration. The
Know Nothing atrocities of ls55-the intelli-
gence received in Europe Of one such scene a.
occurred in Louisville, New Orleans, or Cincin-
natl Ia that year, or Of one Of the ordinarily
recurring Plug Ugly feats in Baltimore
retard emigration more than the most stringent
condition the money market ever witnessed. or
the most serious disaster that ever afflicted our
commercial affairs
No, there il no fear that we shall want stall
worth arms to build our railroads, dig our
canals, raise up fourishing cities on our western
prairies, fell the forests and make the desert
blossom like the rose.
Emigration from Europe is "a essential to
the prosperity Of the masses there as the in
crease of labor is TO the progress of our vast
uncultivated territory As long az we have
acres by the million demanding the toll Of the
husbanjman, and promising golden remunera-
tion for his labor, no temporary reverses no
matter from what cause they may spring, will
materially Affect emigration from Europe.
