Is 90 obviously essential to the safety and vel
fare Of the city that we deem u almost super
fuous to even alludo 10 the importance Of such
an organization. Our object in referring TO
this matter Mt this time, IL to remind our city
goverument-wbich will have this subject be.
fore II for consideration this anernoon--of the
great Importance OF immediate action on this
Important measure. An immense army 10 pour.
ing into our immediate vicinity. In Its wake
we may look for the usual Influx Of camp fol.
lowers, spectators, pick pockets, burglars, &C.,
who will make Washington their headquarters.
Among other depredxtions, inoendisry nres
may be resorted 10. With the more dense pop.
ulatisn which We shall have. accidental nres
will also be more frequent. To check the ex
cesses OF the rogues, we need thorough, EN-
client police Organizatiop-that we have. To
check the threatening cOnfagrations, We need
an efficient fre department-that we have not.
And II Ia the duty Of the city fathers TO provide
us with one ~ speedily W possible. Ten hours
would bo sufficient time In which to witness the
destruction OF property enough to pay the ex-
psnsss Of IN efficient organisation for - many
years.
