CITY INTELLIGENCE.

ToBE MADISON AND THE PoLIcE.-In the brief no
tice which appeared in our issue of yesterday OF
| the cowardly assault made upon our Reporter on
Saturday, by lobe Madison, it was not our inten

lice FOR failing to arrest the assailant. Officers
Scherer and Simpson, offered to arrest him. if our
| Reporter would lodge the necessary complaint,
which however he declined to do thinking proba.
bly,, with ourselves, that it would be taking vast
deal of trouble to very little purpose That Tobe
Madison and fifty like him are sti at large, and
have liberty to commit all sorts of outrages in our
Streets with perfect mpunity is certainly not the
fault of the police by whom they have been arrest
ed over and over again, only to be turned loose on
straw bail by venal Magistrates, or treated to an
indefinite postponement of justice by a sympathis-
ing States Attorney.

with a sufficient quantity of water to look like A
| large dose and administered it. After drinking the
drug the young man went across the street to the
station house and acquainted the officers with what
| he had done. The Captain in attendance nut him
| in charge of two policemen with instructions to
walk him up and down the pavement in order
that he might not give way to the effects of the
laudanum. The officers faithfully performed their
duty, and after few moments conducted the Young
man to his home.
