ANOTHER CHIEF OF POLICE
TIE MAYOR FINDS R DIAMOND.
NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE;
GEORGE L. CAIN APPOINTED.
sTEEDMAE's RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.

The Metropolitan Police Commissioners.
together with General steedman, Chief Of
Police, had an interview with General
Rousseau this morning, the result of which
has not publicly transpired.
We are informed by General Gurney
that General Steedman has resigned PEE
remptorily, Internationally and finally.
The injunction from the Fifth District
Court, Judge Leaumont, on the petition of
the Metropolitan Police Commissioners,
was served upon the Mayor after office
hours last evening.
Sometime before the injunction was
served the Mayor had commissioned Robert
Diamond as Chief of Police, with instruc-
tions to make demand for the office, and
in the event of being refused to sue out a
writ of quo aoarranto against the present
incumbent.
Up to the present writing Mr.. Diamond
bas not made the expected demand, but
the Metropolitan Commissioners and the
Superintendent are awaiting what may
Tansplre.
The Metropolitan Board after their inter-
view with General Rousseau, returned and
accepted his resignation, and appointed
Mr.. George L. Cain superintendent pro
TEN. Mr. Cain has been performing the
duties OF Acting Superintendent and is just
the man for the present emergency.
He was connected with the Union service
and possesses rare administrative abilities.
1t was rumored on the streets that Cen
eral Rousseau requested every member of
the Board of Metropolitan Police Commits
sioners to resign this morning, but the
rumor has not the slightest foundation in
fact

STORY OF A REFUGEE.
An AGeetlps narrative.

At the Republican demonstration at
Rand's Hall, Troy, recently, Colonel
Montgomery, now of Ohio, but a native
and former resident of Tennessee, was
one of the speakers. Colonel Mont
gomery was residing at the South when the
rebellion broke out, being one of the few
not being tainted with disloyalty, he re-
fused to enter the army, and was finally inn
pressed.
He deserted, but was reeaptured, tried
by court-martiai, and sentenced to be shot.
Fortunately he escaped, and with his wife
and child travelled on foot distance of one
hundred and fifty miles TO the Union lines,
which he reached in destitute and enfee-
bled condition. He was sent North by the
authorities, with his family, and in the fall
OF 1858 reached the city of Troy. We will
let the Colonel tell the rest of the story as
he told 1t Ia his speech then:
Five years ago. said he, "there arrived
in this city a poor destitute refugee from
the South, with his wife and little daughter.
They were friendless, destitute and un-
known. The wife was sick unto death
enfeebled by the sufferings and privations
she had undergone, and the husband was
utterly without the means to supply ber
wants or minister to her necessities. They
were almost in rags. But here, in this good
city of Troy, they met a friend-a gentle
man who heard their story and felt COM
passion upon them. He took them to a
hotel, directed that they should be COM
fortaby provided for, and they were given
a nice room, and every attention their
wants demanded. A physician was pro-
cured for the wife; clothing in abundance
was provided for the wife and child. But
the suffering of that poor, weak woman had
been greater than she could endure. She
grew worse, and at last her pure spirit
winged its way to the God who made it.
The gentleman l have alluded to purchased
coffin for the refugees dead wife, and
thousands of miles from the home and
friends she loved she was committed to the
cold, o dgraye.
81 was,' said Colonel Montgomery, "that
unfortunate refugee aad the man who
succored me, who gave me shelter, and my
poor wife and babe food and clothing, and
who buried her when she died, was your
townsman, John A. Griswold."
As the Colonel said this he burst into
tears, and for some moments was wholly
overcome with emotion. The vast audi
ence he was addressing fully sympathized
with him, for there were few dry eyes in
the house, and even strong men, unused to
the melting mood, sobbed like children.
The scene was most affecting, and will be
long remembered by all who witnessed it.

Around where late the waning sun
Sank in his evening cloud.
Or eastward turn thee, and and admire
How linger yet the showers of fire,
Deep in each fold, high on each spire
OF yolder mountain proud.
Thou seest it not; an envious screen,
A huttering leaflet, floats between
Thee and that fair mysterious scene,
A vail too near thine eye.
One fingers breadth at hand will mar
A world of light in heaven afar.

An eyelid hide the sky.
