ClTY POLICE.-We all have public duty to
perform in sustaining and encouraging the City
Police. The materials of which this corps is
composed are of high order. The dearth Of
remunerative occupations and the scarcity Of
money, caused many citizens Of character,
education and intelligence, to seek appoint
ments in it, and they have carried TO their new
vocation that sense of duty, honor and respon-
Sibilitv, which is the best guarantee Of fidelity.
The report of the Chief of Police, Major Clai-
borne, to the Mayor, the substance OF which
WAS published IN our issue of Thursday, Is Il
crcditable exhibit OF the first months service
from 2Oth December to goth January. The
large number Of arrests made-hve hundred
and switzerland of presentmeuts for violations
OF city ordinauccS-one hundred and thirty
iivc-Shows two things; one is that this city IS,
more than ever it was, overrun by all classes OF
offenders against the laws; the other that the
Police have been vgilant in detecting, and bold
and efficient in arresting them. There have
recently been two or three signal instances OF
skill promptitude and energy in tracking, de
t,rtipg and arreSting offenders, which have
L,.,u mentioned in our local columns. Every
old citizen, who moves much about the streets,
has doubtless been struck, as we have been,
with the marked superiority of the present
Police over any other Police force we have
had. At any hour OF the day or night, they
may be seen where they ought to be Seen-on
their beats They are not only watchful, ac-
tive and diligent, but they are polite and always
ready 10 render assistance. There are thou
S"hu little offices of kindness and accommoda-
''n' not IN the strict line of duty, that police
men may perform, and we have observed a
most eonhendable promptitude on the part of
the present iorce IN discharging such offices.
In the present unsettled condition of affairs
. with the city full of adventurous thieves and
offenders of all classes; with A floating nonu
latiOn Indifferent to the good order and y1i,hon,
a care for the good name and renrta 80 ~
CITY; with all the incentives To crime tbot -.
erty. idleness and general demoraHza,io0 -.
supply, it is of the first Importance 70 All
honest, respectable and law-abiding persons
among us that we should have a vigilant, ac-
tive. intelligent and courageous Police organi-
zation. If we wish to maintain such Police
We must encourage and sustain it. We mus
not needlessly complain and grumble about it
Nor should we object to the expense it entails
