mains still to be chosen Meantime there is q
desperate movement aioot among the republi-

radicals are also moving heaven and

Chicago platform Thus the President

PEELED to resort to the Peace Conference at
Washington TO compromise the Cabinet squab-

are reminded that John Tyler, President Of
said Peace Conference, was a very good tabi-
net maker in his day, Strangely enough, in
this connection he had one Cabinet shockingly
slaughtered by u "pcaccmakcs"--,hs big gun
Of that name on board the Princeton but he
very soon found the right natcrais FOR new

President elect, among the iron fou1drics Of

subject. but Rugged the shore for fear Of acct
dents. lie did not know much about the Morrill,
Tariff bill IL might pass and IL might not; but
according to his latest advices on the subject,
The bill was still pending. He seemed to think,
upon the whole, however, that il would be a.
well 10 postpone the subject ill the next scs.

ADJUSTMENTS or the PoiICE.-The Metropo-
Titan Police Commissioners claim and we are
quite willing that their claim should be al
lowed that their men are very much superior
10 the old force under the control of the Mayor
and Aldermen. The Metropolitans are fine
looking fellows: they are well drilled: they
wear splendid uniforms, and are as the French
say, well shod and well gloved They patroa-
nze the fine arts, too. and may be seen CON
stantly at the galleries Of paintings, the con-
certs, the theatres and the Opera The mana
gers pay one or two policemen dollar each
TO render some services, the nature OF which
seems to be altogether unknown TO anybody
except the parties concerned. In addition to
this engaged corps, we find at every large pub
lie gathering a number of volunteer guards.
some in uniform and some in plain clothes.
Our reporters have counted us many AS forty
police devotees Of the drama in the Broadway
theatres on one night. At the Light Guard I,all
last Thursday night, there was very strong po-
lice force posted at various points. for the pur-
pose, apparently, of preventing people from
going where they wished TO go. and obligiag
them to proceed in some direction quite oppo-
site to their desires. At the Opera matinee yes
terday six policemen were detailed, but more
than twice that number were distributed about
the house. while the stage was ornamented by
captain, sergeant and several patrolmen in
full uniform. What is the matter? Is it pre-
sumed that treason turks in the coabsses, or
that the dancing young men aisd the bellies OF
Madison and Fifth avenues purpose to eus
each others throats Or is il a fact as some
people say, that the police concentrate them
selves in the centre of tho city, where their
services are not only useless, but their OH
cious conduct is in the highest degree i'm
pertinent and annoying, leaving vcry few
men 10 guard the thinly settled districts above
Fifticth street. Lattcrly the General SAveria-
tcndent complained bitterly Of the SC selness
Of his force, and asked the Super, ;sosY for
more men, which were given 10 him. Dees he
purpose to add these novices to the theatrical
