rHEnETROPOLITIN POLICE sYsTEn

THE METROPOLIT1N POLICE SYSTEM
Tennessee borrowed the system from
New York, and it works there pretty
mach ss i does here. No one here need
hesitate to murder q man at night, out Of
any fear of ever being detected and
arrested. And it is now to be considered
settled, We suppose, that the police may
with impunity shoat any one whom they
please to arrest. Nobody pFosealeea.
The New York World says:
New York is not the only city that
COMPLAINS Of the ineficiency of its police.
Last week, on Tuesday, a girl was MUIR
dered, OF was supposed to be murdered
in Buffalo-it i still in dispute-and not
an arrest was made in c~OnneetiQn with
the affair till Saturday, and then only at
the soiiGitatiou Of the coroner. A cir
eumstsnce like this naturally prompts
the local journals to inquire if the police
o. that city afford the protection
to huhisn life thsE is desirable,
and the Buffalo GuaisE enphati-
eaIIy NO!S There, as here,
there are numerous arrests for petty
CsEenses, drunk and disOrderly conduct
and petit l~aFcsnies, while murders are
committed with comparative imPunltyJ
and the police often fail to obtain the
slightest clue that can bring the criminal
to justice. Eep9 players are brought up
in squads, while the great gsmblers kesp

without molestatiOn. The Courier is
right in presuming that the people who
nay ellrmops taxes 10 support the police
want Something aoFs ioF their money
than " q great show Of men in hand

equally correct il stating the main fault
Of the present sgstemI " Whleh takes
the control OF this force aud It's sppOipt=
ment from the local authorities, and
places it in a political cabal at the state
capitol, to be used for party and other
PURPOSES When these things come
70 . piece ike Buffalo, the present radi-
cal method OF p4saaging municipal az
fairs does not seem SUCH 8 npe thing
after all. Even if It is good for New
York, II is very bad for Buffalo,
OF the homicide committed by Won
FOLD or WoHIRLE We have no knowl-
edge, except what we derive from the
published accounts. The matter has not
been investigated and 40 one can say
that these accounts are not true. True
or false, it is very certain that it is a re-
pr0ach and opprobriam to the Magis-
tracy Of Memphis and the officers Of
public justice that the person accused Of
~unprovoked homicide should not be
arrested and held in custody to answer,
and the testimony in the case taken.
What protection is there for human life,
the killing Of a human creature,
alleged to have been wholly unprOvoked,
is not considered Of sufficient Importance
to be Investigated, and the homicide,
discharged from custody, continues to
discharge the functions Of his office &?

the Tribune whether it knows any one
who Tor the rest Of his life drags the
body Of that dead woman, Mrs. SUR
RAFT, along with him; whether it
knows any one at whom her pale face
looks ont? MACMILLAN was a Prince
Of the House Of Austria, and serowned
Emperor, and Mrs. SURRATT a poor
woman; but in the sight Of Heaven the
life Of the one was a. sacred as that Of
the other. Was it an act any more
merciless, a crime any greater, ia JU-
AREz to put MAxIMnLIAN to death, or
in NAPOLEON to have abandoned him to
bis fate, than It was in the people OF the
North and the journals that urged them
on, to demand the life Of Mrs. SURRATT,
when the Magistracy Of the Union and
the law itself had interposed between
her and the sesffold the great English
and American Writ Of Right, which
forbade the murder2 Is not that victim
