HE NEW YORK POLICE.-The New York
Mercury eriticises the Report of the Metro
politan Police Commissioners of New York
city, with an almost fearful acrimonv. The
Jisre'"y says Instead Of being a report Of
" duties performed, it is simply confession of
d" inefliciency. ItacknOwledges that great
81 deal Of money has been spent, and spent in
&c vain, but still it calls for large appropria-
" tons. Worse than all it winds up with GER
" tain suggestions calculated to deliver the
'' whole city into the hands Of thieves, burg
&c lars and rufians." 1t charges that the Police
have failed utterly to protect the citizens from
thieves and garroters, suggests that the Police
are in league with the criminals, and advises
that all the citizens shall carry weapons to pro-
tect themselves. II says bad men will always

THE ONLY MIsTAKE.-The Washington cor
respondent of the st. Louis Democrat, Re
publican paper, says: " The President recently
said to conservative New England Senator,
that the only mistake he had thus far made in
his administration was in sending General Carl
Schurz to investigate matters for him."

90 armed iifspite OF the law, and 50 long as the
Police are so inefficient, honest men must go
armed also. 1t says The whole report is an
g inpudent demand for more money and more

{. them" One sentence is red with uncom-
mon wrath, as follows" Every citizen should
"provide himself with a pistol and bowie

" and we warn the commissioners that if they

MILITARY ARRANGEMENTS IN NIRGINIA'-or-
ders from Washington, now in process Of exc
cution, are reducing the military force in this
State to handful We are still, though, I'M
der martial law, and it therefore makes but
little difference whether there are few or many
soldiers. We trust it will not be long before
our people are RENTED to the rule of law,
with the privilege of habeaS corpus. Then,
and not till then, will they be able to breathe
freely. The Washington Chronicle of the 10th

THE OBSTRUCTION CONNITTEE.-The Wash
ngton correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Ledger writes that it appears to be now pretty
well settled that the Joint Congressional Com
mittee will merely send for persons and papers
the former to include Generals who served
during the war, loyal and disloyal citizens of
the South, correspondents Of the press who
have visited the South since the cessation Of
the war, Government agents, such as Carl
Schurz, and, in short, all wh0 would be likely
to afford enlightenment on the subject. Mean
while, the Tennessee members will be COM
PEELED to remain out in the cold, as it is quite
certain now that no action upon any of the
Senators or Representatives from the South
Will be taken until the labors of the committee
are ended.

CHILD MURDER Is LONDOS.-A startling state
ment was made last week at public meeting by
the Coroner of Middlesex. He said that so preva-
lent is child murder in the metropolis that out Of ey-
cry 80 women met with in the streets of London one
IS guilty of child murder! Not day passes without
an inquest being held on one or more infants who
have been murdered. At present the offence, il
proved involves the punishment of death and there
fore uries will not convict 1t is proposed to alter
the law as 10 make child murder punishable by
penal seryitude There is something very rotten in
all this. II arises from our fetish worship of the
god Responsibility" 1t is esteemed greater Of
fence 10 be the mother of an illegtimate child than
TO murder the child. The only effective remedy
would be 10 .et the iegtmate child bear the fathers
name and have the same rights as his legitimate chl-
dren. In that case there wOul be fewer seductons
aud women would have no motive to destroy the l
children.

\ FAVORABLE ASPECT.-The Hon. William
Ycrger has Just returned from Washington,
saws the Jackson Miss NelrS, and thinks the
attitude OF political affairs decidedly cheering.
The policy OF the President in regard to recon
struction, he believes, is indorsed by vast ma
iority of the Northern people. He is confident
that our Representatives in Congress will soon
bc admitted To their seats, and that the negro
troops will soon be removed from the South
Where there may be a necessity for small gar
riSonS, they will consist of white troops. The
signs seem to indicate a speedy return to the

Portsmouth Clergyman Shot by n Negro
Wound Probably Mortal.
The Norfolk Post of yesterday says:

The Norfolk Post of yesterday says
The city of Portsmouth was thrown into quite an
excitement yesterday morning, in consequence OF
rumor that the Rev. W. c. Blunt, pastor of the
Dinwiddie street Methodist Episcopal Church, had
been shot and instantly killed by negro 1t APP
pears the report of the death Of Mr.. Blunt pre-
mature but that he had been shot under very sus-
picous circumstances was lamentably true. The
particulars of the near it possible TO
obtain them, are that Mr. Blunt while in the rear of
his premises on Swimming Point, was shot about
o'clock in the morning. The ball took effect
in his right breast, three inches below the
nipple, aud ranged diagonally through the
body coming out on the left side of his
back The deed is supposed to have been perpe
trated by negro boy named Richard Elicit
whether designedy or accidentally cannot be con-
ectured, until the arrest of the boy. Mr. Blunt was
highly esteemed by both white and black, and it is
matter of surprise to all that any one should have
been found So malicious To make this daStardly
attempt on the good mans life. At last accounts
Richard Elicit had not been arrested but every effort
will be made by the police to prevent his escape
Mr. Blunt was alive at last accounts, but ii is feared
will not recover his wound being of very serious
nature.

WASHINGTON, January l6.-It is probable that the

that this decision will be favorable to the petitioner
The Chief Justice stated during the argument oil the

similar cases. Mr.. Stevens has affirmed his resOlu-
ton for the repeal OF the act Of July 1861 extending
the test oath to attorneys, with knowledge per-

Lord Clarendon, as is known, has suspended the
diplomatic controversy between the BRITISH GoVerh-

alleged reason that its continuance might produce
unnecessary irritation on the part OF the two 90

Great Britain will hear no more, we can safely and
properly leave the matter where-it is well Knowing
that the time must soon come when the precedent
thus set by England will work to her disadvantage.

of its subjects, long and heavy list OF counter
