"Policemen and Pistols. ,,

Mr.. EDIToR:I noticed in MONDAYS issue an
article on Policemen and Pistols" signed ~"
the tendency of which is so utterly subversive
OF official efficiency, and, therefore, of public
tranquility, as to merit reply. Taking for his
text the remark of Gen. Sheridan at New Or
leans, that peace would have been restored in
five minutes if the policemen had put up their
pistols" (the rebels said the same when the
policemen" of the "nation" came down among
them to enforce the law and restore order), he
goes on to infer that, as our officers sometimes
carry pistols, they may as foolishly and devil
ishly use them as the police thugs and rebels"
did in the former city. Tosay the least, GU" was
very unfortunate in the ohoice of his text-a
case which has no parallel, either in the past OF
present, nor is likely ever to occur at the North
in the future, and, therefore, is not very com
phmentary to the moral character, intelligence
and wisdom of our officials, from the Mayor
down. u. idea of what policeman ought to
be is precisely that which the rumseller thinks
the temperance man ought to be, viz: "A NOR
al swasionist, for he says: "Their duty is not
to fight Extensively, but to keep the peace-to
arrest and hold offenders, not to shoot, nor to
wound them in any manner" take it that
"U." is an unbeliever in the doctrine of "total
depravity," even as applied to "roughs" filled
with fighting whiskey," and also predict his
speedy conversion should he accept situation
on the police staff, and be stationed on some of
the beats in this city for three Saturday and
Sunday nights at which times "My Lord, Whis-
key holds high carnival, and his devotees, the
roughs, amuse themselves in the interesting
pastime of fighting each other and the "peace
men," To be serious, how can an officer arrest
and hold offenders without meeting force
whether muscular, Vegetable or mineral) with
force, and keep the peace? Last Sunday night
some villains rushed on the policemen with
drawn knife, revolver and clubs, with nails driv-
en- into them in order to rescue prisoner from
the officers, and one of the rascals was shot, af-
ter being warned. If the "peace men" had not
had pistols, they would have been struck down
instantly, and possibly killed. In word, the log
ical result of "U. Is" teaching would be to trans
fer the risk of being MANNED or killed from the
offenders to the officers, who are the represen-
tatives of law, order and peace, and destroy all
confidence in being protected by the rightfully
constituted protectors of the public There is

men, who does not, at times, have to take his
life in his hand in the performance of his duty.
Should the views of"U." j" prevail, there would be
no peace men" nor peace, unless the military
patrolled with them; for the knowledge that
pistols were not allowed to officers by popular
consent, would give to all grades of villains an
immense power for evil of all kinds, and no
mans life would be safe. PIP.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIAN-The steam
ship Hibernian, Capt Dutton, from Liverpool
9Th and Londonderry 9th, arrived at this port
about o'clock Tuesday morning, bringing &c
cabin and 164 steerage passengers and large
cargo. 1t is the first arrival of the weekly
line from Liverpool that we are to have for
five months.

Numerous Cabinet councils were being held

of London. The two firms are entirely dis

partners are wealthy, and it is believed that the
creditors will receive the whole of their claims
1t is announced that Ex-Go Eyre of Jamai-
ca, would be arraigned at the Central criminal
court London, in about ten days, for the Ja-
| macia murders. rt
The case of the rebel steamers seized at Liv-

that no case was before the Court, and that by

The PoPE's ALLoCUTIoN.-Thel latest foreign
papers received by steamer, contain the full
text of the Pope's Allocution which has been
referred to in recent telegram from Rome
1t appears that the telegraphie summary con-
yeyed very inadequate idea of this important
document, which reasserts in the most posi-
tive manner the doctrine of the temporal SOW
ereignty of the Pope, renews the protest,
against the annexation of the Pontifical States
by the King of Italy, and denounces all those
who took part in that proceeding. The Jour-
nal des Debdts of Nov 3, says of this docu-
ment:
The event of the day is the Pontifcal Allo-
cution upon the affairs of Italy, or rather the
affairs in the whole of Europe. Since the En-
cyclical and the Syllabus the Court of Rome
has not pronounced words so direfully signif-
can't. We believe that this AllOcution will re-
ceive greater Importance and will produce
worse effects than the documents above mem
toned. The defenders of the Syllabus could
say that it was mere doctrinal and abstract
exposition, which did not demand rigorous
and immediate application to the events of the
present time; but such language is not appli-
cable to-day. The last Allocution is a sum
mons to Italy, and, in effect, to all the Catholic
Powers, to put in practice the principles of the
Syllabus-principles purely speculative,
The GOLD IN MADoC, CANADA WEsTl-A
letter in the Gait Reporter says: "On Satur-
day Californian offered 81 800 for what earth
he could take out of the hole in half an hour
with no other assistance than common gar
den hoe. Mr.. Vennor, of Sir VIM. Logan's
staff, assisted by matchmaker here, obtained
few days ago, from two and half pints ofthe
ordinary loose earth, pure gold amounting in
value to $2i. The samples which have been
stolen and given out of the opening-which is
seven feet diameter and seventeen feet in depth
will amount, am confident to $1,000 or
81 200. Now, if this proves to be a regular
lode, and the vein extends north and south,
allowing holes equally rich in quality and
quantity to be opened up what an incalculsble
amount of wealth will be realized by the intro
duction of skilled labor and proper machineryl
ut this claim is not an accidental pocket"
California and Australia will be vastly behind
Madoc in point of richness in yield,-I mean in
case of an individual mine. Nothing has yet
been known to equal it as far as developed.
"Our village is thronged with gold-seekers,
from the wealthy American capitalist to the
less pretentious miner, whose braWak muscle
is his only means ofworking mine The OPEN
ING of these mines will not take place in any
considerable degree until the spring"
We trust that all these fine prospects may
be realized, but amateur gold-hunters would
do well to be cautious in their ventures.
