The Reform meeting held yesterday, and of
which report will be found in another column,
was such as to afford ample encouragement to
those enlisted in the good work which it was its
purpose to advance. Not only was the assemblage
as large as the most sanguine could have antcipa-
ted but it was evident from the patient and earnest
attention of the vast multitude which stood within
sound of the speakers voices that 1t was animated
by hearty and determined interest for the cause
in behalf of which it had come together. The I'M
precedented array of policemen with which it was
necessary to surround meeting which had been so
calmly and quietly called, and for objects so pure
and honorable, furnished further evidence, if any
such was needed of the 'deplorable condition to
which we are reduced Many of the men who
have become notorious through repeated and fla
grant violations of the laws thought proper to at
tend, but the very few attempts that were made
to create disturbances were checked by the police
with prompttude and determination that proved
their ability to overawe rufianism under any and
all circumstances 1t will be time enough to re-
view the resolutions, after our readers have had
an opportunity to see and consider them. Mean
while we can but express our hope that the move
ment will not be permitted to flag in its onward
progress, and our sincerest good wishes for its ut
mate success

" actual conflict between armed bodies of men,
For the same reason, probably, Mr.. DAVIS alto
gether ignores the whole bloody record of murders
fifteen in one year--of men slain by their own
firesides, as were FISCHER and RIGDoN or killed in
the discharge of duty. as was BENTON, or wounded
and beaten, as have been scores of citizens, in
their own houses, upon the streets, at the polls, at
their places of business, upon occasions of harmless
merry-making, and even Of religious solemnity.
Yet to our poor seeming, who are unable to look
at these things with the eyes of Congressman and
candidate, the constant recurrence of such crimes
argues a worse state of society and more defec-
tive system of police than even the occasional set
ting at naught of all law by Charge bodies of
" men," The latter may happen under the
best and strongest government--the former
only under the worst. With the exception of
''the old series of fre-6ghts under the volun-
" teer department" which Mr.. DAVIS thinks
were incomparably worse than any that have
happened since-the disorders that have oc-
CURED on election-days seem to be the only
ones that have impressed themselves on his mind.
These-it is painful to learn-he does not
anticipate will be remedied. 'That cleo
"tions will ever be quiet, do not think-they
"have never been quiet in this city under Demo
'cratic rule''--and of course, cannot be expected
to be so under American rule. The Improve
"ments" which Mr.. DAVIS expects his party to
to make in the Condition of the city," do not it
seems, extend that far. Even the prospect of that
which he promises in the Criminal Court, is sadly
damaged by the recollection that Mr. WHITNEY is
one of the very candidates for reelection, to
whose fortunes Mr.. DAVIS is DESTROYS of
linking his own ';for veal or VICE." and
whose defeat he is not ambitious 10 survive. We
pass by what he says about his own election two
years ago-which if it were worth refuting at all
would require consideration in separate article
We can also afford 10 let pass what he says about
''the malignancy of the anti-American press-neu-
"trals and Notwithstanding to any point that
political rancor may carry them-some of them
'black-mouthed' from the beginning" We re-
member the time, when, in his place in Congress,
Mr.. DAVIS spoke in like disparagng terms of ''the

the services he has rendered to the cause of good
