But we hail the flush of those bright streaks Of

eyes to them because Others, with closed eye

immediate peace, because we do not mean to

exhaustion always brings to all wars.

Attempts have been made in various quarters
to deny the agency Of our Police and Police
Justices in tie enlistment OF undesirable re-
cruits-mcn arrested OH various charges, and
then offered the alternative either Of entering
the army and allowing the greater part Of their
bounties to he taken from them, OF awaiting
their trials in due course Of law, and taking
their chances Of convictions which would send
them TO State Prison or the Penitentiary. All
these quasi denials of this practice be It re
marked, ore studiously given semi-oHicial Dir,
while at the same time carefully avoiding any
personal or official responsibility for their state
ments.
Our charge in recent article, relative TO the
enlistment system in this city, explicitly set
forth that certain Of our policemen. police JUS.
tees and other criminal authorities, have been
in the habit Of discharging persons arrested for
very nearly all grades Of felonies and minor
ofIenses, on the condition Of their enlisting and
making some "amic able disposition" Of their
bounties. We called attention to the utterly enor.
nous increase of arrests during the past year, TO-
rether with the complaint Of the Police Commis.

place Of increasing, during the same time; and VIC
