Soldiers WttIleut Passes.

Soldiers Without Passes.
Tie order of Superintendent C. P. Bradley, |
which went into force in the South Division |
on Wednesday, to arrest and lock up all par
ties found in the streets, wearing the United |
States uniform, who could not produce |
passes, OF glyea proper account Of themselves, |
had the effect Of lodging twenty-five men in |
tie cells 1t the Armory to await examination
and identification. The command to the police
went into effect last night on tic West and
North Sides, and we may anticipate, from
What has already transpircd in the First Dis
trict, the effect will be, when the whole city
shall have been thoroughly gifted, the cells
at the -Armory Will hardly be roomT enough
TO contain ell the parties necessary to be held.
This rule, although it imposes dangerous
and unusually arduous duty upon the patrol
men, is just What ne have for a long time
needed. Hardly day passes. or has passed
have not been made Of women insul-
ted, nlcn beaten and abused, and out
rages Of Il similar character committed by
persons wearing the United States uniform.
VIC arc happy to learn, that in perhaps ma
iority Of instances, these yillainies have not
been perpetrated By soldiers, but BY men who
taye either been discharged from the service,
OF deserted, Or have never been in the ranks
Of the army, but who have stolen their uni
forms. This new regulation, requiring every
common soldier, Or person wearing uniform,to
show his pass, and in default to 20 to durance
| vile, will have the effect Of sorting out the
| counterfeit from the genuine, and compel
| villains, who have heretofore transacted their
evil practices under kind Of screen or pro-
! lection thrown around them by their supposed
| connection with the service, to come out in
their real eolors, and hereafter walk under
| their proper gnise as private citizens. This
I Will considerably promote the ends Of justice
and conduce to the quiet, good order and safety
Of o1r streets, night and day Let sham soldiers
and those who have no right to wear the uni
form OF soldier beware in due season.
