THE RETURNED WHIPPED RBBBLs-Editor
Star: Your notice of the return to this city Of
the notorious DIR. Boyle from rebeldom, on
Saturday, was highly appreciated by all true
lovers OF the Union; and the question naturally
arises, What is the duty Of all good loyal cit
liens in regard to those persons who basely
deserted their homes in The time Of greatest
danger and went over to and into the service
Of the common enemy for the purpose OF ma
king waI upon their former neighbors and
friends? To say the least, sir, they should not
be permitted to again settle in our midst. They
should be notified that their room is better than
their company; that they are not wanted here,
meeting of our citizens be called and COM
mittee be appointed to wait apon these traitor
Gus scoundrels and request them, in q formal
manner, to leave, with the understanding that

hailed by many as "good fellow well met"

THE SANITARY RRGULArIoNs.-Thes season
is now approaching when it will be necessary
for the strictest observance Of the regulations
for the health of the city. The voluntary at

rules laid down by the city fathers for the pre-.
servation of the health and cleanliness OF the
metropolis is desirable, and would be credi-

disgraceful, and the sanitary police are grow.

the rules; duty which keeps that department
Of the metropolitan police constantly busy.
oficers, undey the direction of G. F. smp p' as
chief and an idea OF the duty required, and
the energy with which 1t is performed Is given
by the fact that from March 2lstt April 2lst,
the number of nuisances reported and abated
was 490. The officers were successful in the
great majority OF cases in securing the abate.
ment OF nuisances without the extra costs Of q
Magistrate's trial, though fines were imposed
in q number OF cases. The determination OF
the police to enforce the law ought to induce
the negleetful to attend to this important d uty.
Good citizens will act without compulsion.
