Why McCee Ran away.

A week or so ago, says the Columbia
Herald we published that MCGEE, Revenue
Collector for this district, ran away with
the peoples money. We have learned
since then some particulars of his running
away. He was Tax Collector when he re-
ceived the appointment of Internal Reve-
nue. Collector, ard when he delivered up
his first Office he had failed TO make all the
necessary collections A few weeks ago his
securities on his old bond lay in wait on
the highway for him, and when he came
came along they threatened to kill him if
he did not shell out to the tune Of their
liability for him, thinking no doubt that he
had money with him belonging to the
United States He had no money, however,
and being timid man he fed from the
wrath of his securities. He, therefore, did
not run away, as we before stated, and as
we heard, because he was defaulter in his
last Office

METROPOLITAN POLICE.
synopsis of Annual Report for Isr

synopsis Of Annual Report for 1859.
The second year Of the existence and
creation of the Metropolitan Police force
from its organization closes to-day. The
question of its continuance is now pending
before the Legislature. Notwithstanding
the difficulties in which the system was
originated, and the prejudices it has had to
overcome, it has maintained general good
order in the city and sUbserved the objects
of its creation here well. The officers and
members have deported themselves in the
manner, in official and private capacities as
became gentlemen and men who had the
public good IN view 1t is, as regards the
local interest of a great and growing city,
and especially when that city Is the capital
of a State, a matter of grave and universal
interest as to who and how her municipal
regulations shall be conducted The M

stand much higher IN public estimation to-
day, than they did two years ago. Nothing
butproper conduct officially and personally
could have changed the infallihle verdict Of
public opinion.
The subject of its continuance OF discon-
tinuance we are not discussing. It is one,
however, in which every citizen has and
should have deep and an abiding interest.
The members of the Police force have
made policing tier GrclUsiUe business since
they had charge, and this is an important
consideration; they have been watchful,
vigilant in emergencies. This we know,
for we have seen them through thick and
thin, at all times of day and all times of
night, and in almost all kinds of places in
obedience to the dictates of duty.
Their rar,pNf for 4h1 ypur aDIinfy 4,
day, will be made to the Legislature to
morrow. Early action upon the subject
viii no doubt be had. Yesterday we gave
some statistics as showing the expenses of
the police for 1868 As the question of
economy is one of vital importance TO the
city, and will enter largely into the discus
sions upon the bill we have been at much
pains to ascertain the expenses of its work
ings for the present year, and find them
not extravagant or excessive.
The approximate cost of the Metropolitan
Police torthe currertyear ending Oct. 3 1, in
Guiding the Sanitary Company, is 500, $780, 70
agasnst Sos, 253 81 for the year ending Oct
81 1865, and $40, 7O2 II for the year
ending Oct. /, 1867. In comparative
statement there was $50, 5l5. - for the year
ending Oct. !, 1866.
The cost of the workhouse, under charge
Of the Metropolitan Police, for three months
ending Oct 81, 1869, is $3.50. 70, an av-
erage of $3.50. 25 per month
The cost of the workhouse for the year
ending Oct. /, 1866, is $50, 1871 So, an
average ofnearly So, 600 per month; for the
year ending Oct. l, 1867, S24, 30z21,
an average of $1,000 per month; for the
year ending Oct l, 1868, $27, 1880,
an average of s., 81 per month. Accord
ing to this, at the present rate the total
cost would be less than $500 per year
against Ell average of $4,000 for former
years.

a wholesale grocery house on Market street
to attend to some business, when the pro-
prietor, who was in the rear of the building,
was heard to say in a loud voice, Go
away-we've got nothing for you" The
idea of taking Wood for a beggar is a rich
