DE&INHsHING THE POLIOE FORoE.

An article in recent number Of the Bee,
headed 1.-THE City Police Force" surprises
the writer Of this communication, who has
been four years on the police, two and a
half Of which were 10 the secret service Of
Philadelphia, by its manifest ignorance and
party spirit. The Bee writer recommends
that the city authorities should diminish
the force" Of policemen. Ii
All over the city of New Orleans, which,
in proportion to its population, covers an
enormous territory, there are less than
FIVE hundred policemen, oHe-half of whom
are of dHty In the night time. There is no
policeman whose beat is less than Eve
blocks, and many beats are up to twelve
or fourteen blocks each. In cases Of emer-
geney policeman attends to matters hap
pening in the street adjacent to his par
ticnlar beat, where no policemen are
stationed. The beats Of patrols may be
measured by square miles instead Of by
blocks, and yet the Bee proposes to dimin-
ish the force.
Il further proposes 10 make each watch
man responsible for thefts, burglaries, ETC.,
committed on his beat, and punish him
therefor if the perpetrators are not appre-
hended A policeman whose beat is q
mile long can not prevent the occurrence
of depredations, however faithful be may
be in the performance Of his duty. 1t is
impossible. The proposition 10 Increase
the secret police is sensible, and some
useful suggestions on this point may be
made to the city authorities, but aot to the
public. ls se 81 1tlr..
The article in the Bee denounees the re-
lease on bail Of certain parties BY record
ers. IF the recorders always act according
to the letter Of the law, never allowing
their, Judgment to be influenced by prej1-
dice, no harm will result from the release
ofpersons accused of crime. There Is only
enc thing which can be recommended to
improve the police institution, and that is
for the force TO be constituted as perma-
pent organization, and prohibit its mem
bers from participation in politics, punish
ing neglect of duty even more severely
than now. Do not, however, let scoun-
drels, murderers, ard rotoriousiy bad char
actsrs be admitted into the force, such as
those who were conspicuous in the massa-
GRE Of July 80, 1866, whose dismissal from
the police the Bee Is lameniiBg somuch.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Sir-My attention has been called 70 the
following article which appeared in your
paper Of to-day:

vicinity General Hancock falls into an IT.

hill Of time, and has got his belly full
Of these id Texas rebels. :"
Ibeg to say that there is no truth whatever
ia the statement that wrote such q letter
as the one referred 10, or ever used such
expressions. The article is malicious
misrepresentation and without foundation,

saw no evidence which would warrant
such expressions as to Texas any more than
to any other state In the Union.
