OFFICIAL CHANGEs.-A Washington
dispatch Of the Goth to the Boston Jour-
nal says
'You may rely on two facts l am
about to state. First, Mr.. Stanton goes
out of the War Department in a few
days. Second, Gen. Howard will be su-
perseded in the Freedmen's Bureau De-
partment by Gen. Tilson. Gen. Stead
man, Gen. Rosseau and Gen. Blair are
named as Stanton's successors. Blair
hasn't ghost of chance, in my opin-
ion.

essary, put on additional clothing, but
above all things have fresh air."
DR.. Frank Hamilton, who, when the
cholera broke out on Blackwell's Island,
kept the people out of doors all day, and
the windows of their rooms open all
night, and thus in Ave days checked the
rayages of the disease, adds his testi-
mouy TO that of DR., Lewis, and adds;
"The man who can persuade the poor
people that with plenty of air they are
secure against cholera, will do much"
DR.. R. Ogden DOremus also indorses
DR., Lewis by saying;
Gods oxygen is essential to life and
one of the best antidores 20 disease"

THE NEXT STEP.-The appeal of the
Missouri delegation to have the Presi-
dent "put in the foreground" the mill
tary commander in their State, was not
the only instance of looking to the futue
use of arbitrary power which has of
late appeared among the Presidents ad-
mirers. The New York News, referring
to the Presidents charges against Con-
gress in his last speech, makes the fol-
lowing significant remarks:
''If the radical Congress have been
guilty of these crimes against the Re
public, it is time that they be dissrmed
and rendered impotent in the future. If
they have done what the President has
said that they done, they should not be
permitted an opportunity to repeat their
crime. At the next session they should
be confronted by the Executive author
ity and compelled to relinqush their
lsurped powers. 1t is not enough for
the Executive to declaim against their
reasonable and incendiary action; be
should interpose the power, to reduce
them to subsection to the laws and the
Constitution Of the Republic"

FRESH AIR AS A PREVENTIVE OF

proclaims that fresh air is the best pre-
Tentive o. cholera extaut. He saws If
people will only keep their windows open
night and day, giving fresh air fair

THE NEW YORK PoLICE.-Further
Developments seem to be taking place,
which show greater amount of demon
alization in the New York police force
than was supposed. The newspapers
mysteriously hint that the men detailed
since the arrest Of the detectives to take
their places and keep the thieves from
the street cars and other public places,
have been found acting in collision with
the light fingered gentry and accepting
brides not to modest them. The result
of this has been new series of arrests
the particulars of which are kept from
the public by orders of the police au-
thorities. An immediate trial is now
called for and perhaps complete over
turning of the force will be found to be
needed, even if it is not made.

DETECTIVE CoRRUPToN.-Among the
results Of the Investigations now going
on into the affair of the detective office
in New York, is the following signed
statement of q jeweler doing business
in Becker street which is especially sug-
gestive:
"About three months ago a stranger
came into our place of business in
Blocker street and offered awatch for
sale. The appearance Of the man
aroused my suspicious, and his Offering
watch worth $500 for $3.50 confirmed
me in my first impression that he was a
thief. 1 determined to apply to the
chief detective officer, to see if such
watch had been booked as having been
stolen. For this purpose I requested
the man to remain for q few moments
until | could see party outside who
would probably purchase it at the price
mentioned. Noticing the anxiety of the
man to get away and that the ring from
the watch was missing, as is usual in
the cases where watches are picked from
pockets, | FASTENED to the detective
office and told the presiding officer my
suspicious. He referred to his book and
could not find the number down as
stolen watch, but at the same time Or
dered two officers to see the man and if
he was known thief to arrest him, and
otherwise to put such questions to him
as to determine where he got the watch
from. | came back to the store and
told the man could not sell his watch
He went out and as soon as he reached
the sidewalk he was arrested by the Off
GERS and taken to headquarters. | knew
by his arrest that he was a known thief
and that the watch was stolen, and
thought had done something towards
bringing criminal to justice, but l
must say the end did not fulfil my ex-
pectations. But half an hour after the
man was arrested, the officer who arrest
ed him came back with the watch, and
asked me if that was the watch offered
to me for sale. recognized the watch,
| taking the number and the name of the
maker. 1t was No. 14,513. FL. A. Fa-
bre, Lille. In about two weeks after
that time | was surprised to receive the
same watch from the office of a broker
in Broadway, brought by his watch
maker to me for repairs. / naturally in
quired how he became possessed of that
watch, when he informed me it was the
property Of Captain John Young, Chief
Detective. SIMON RICE.

EASILY DUPEn.-Mr. Shaw, a delegate
from Georgia to the Philadelphia Con-
vention, while taking walk, Thursday,
in that city, met an individual who
joined him, telling him that he, too, was
a Georgian. They walked together, con-
versing on the affairs of the country,
soon after another individual, meeting
them "by accident" presented a bill to
Mr.. Shaw's new friend. The latter had
not that amount Of ready money about
him, nothing but stocks and bonds. On
these Mr.. Shaw was kind enough to ad-
vance $4,000, and soon after he parted
with his "felow Georgian" He has not
seen the fellow since-and probably
never will see him again.
