money in notes, bonds and securities OF which
they had despoiled the bank. Instead OF SO
acting, this model detective-no doubt one OF
our own city fraternity-permitted the men TO
go unquestioned and thus escape. 1t has been
frequently charged, even by the well informed
reporters of the press, and instances given in
proof Of the fact, that patrolmen as well as
detectives are at times in league with the
most successful and consequently the most
dangerous Of the class who live by violations
of the law, and it is only when some more
than ordinarily daring crime upon life or pro-
perry is committed that the league is exposed
and broken up But yet the evil continues
and these unholy alliances 60 on. In the face,
therefore, of these fragrant official outrages
against the citizens any change in the Police
Department that may be brought about by
democratic legislative action will be welcomed
as change for the better and as one long and
greatly needed.

A NICE CASE IN CHEMISTRY. anthori-
ties in Pennsylvania ought to make it very
clear, if they hang DR.. Schoeppe, that they do
il Independently of the chemists testimony If
they have sufficient proof Of the murder aside
from the finding Of poison in the stomach, very
well but if 1t can be shown that the verdict
was found in the intestines of the victim, the
execution on that verdict will itself be a
crime. II is declared on sufficient chemical
authority that in the processes adopted for the
detection OF prussc acid this very poison
might have been made. If it is at all possible
that the chemist could have made the poison
he detected, his analysis should be of no effect
against Che accused.

IMPORTANT TO DEADHEADs.-lt has just
been decided in New Jersey that deadhead
on a railroad must be killed at his own expense
if he is killed at all Neither the traveller on
a free ticket nor his heirs can recover damages
for injury by accident on the rail- 1t seems
there was some Jersey deadhead meaner than
the rest who sued the company that gave him
ride; hence the decision. The moral for
deadheads is that they must get an accident
insurance ticket. If to buy such ticket costs
az much az the ride would the difficulty ia
insuperable, unless the insurance ticket also
can be obtained on the deadhead plan.

Increase OF ROgues and UObberies.

There is an alarming and q growing increase
of crime in this and the more contiguous cities
to u.s. Murders, dangerous assaults combined
with robbery from the person, burglaries,
garrotings in the public streets in broad day
light, with thefts Of every degree and kind,
some solution for this state Of affairs. 1t can
not be that the police force Of the city is
insufficient in numbers to grapple with the
evil doors, or that the laws are inadequate for
their punishment and suppression. Neither
will it sufficiently explain the matter TO say
that the lawlessness is in part due TO the late
State election, and in part due to the fact that
we have another election near at hand, and
therefore to an extent directly traceable to the
roughs and repeaters imported to swell the
vote of this that party, or Of this or that can
didate. The offences generally committed by
this class of law-breakers are rather directed
against the persons than tho property of ind-
viduals, and are as quickly suppressed as they
are sudden in outbreak.
The fact is that the Police Commissioners
and their subordinates, from the Superinten-
dent down to the roundsman and patrolman,
are responsible for the impunity with which
the lives and property Of the citizens are i'm
perilled by the professional contemners Of the
law that infest every quarter of the city. The
papers daily teen with proofs ofthis. Stores are
broken open in the most public thoroughtares
private houses entered at all hours of the day
and night; the cry for help Of some set-upon
pedestrian is heard in thronged places, and
rarely indeed are the offenders arrested by the
police to be adjudged or receive the penalty Of
their crimes There is large force Of detec
tive police also paid by the citizens, and it is
majority of the professional burglars gar
rioters, sneak and panel thieves are known, and
that it is within their power at any time, with
the aid of the regular force, to cut the career
Of these fellows short For an example of
this, in the report of the late bank rob-
berry at Port Jervis it was stated that immedi-
ately after the burglary was committed the
supposed burglars were seen hurrying to the
adjacent roadside station to take the train, just
then arrived, for New York. A detective on
the platform Of one of the cars pointed out the
two men as "safe blowers" A little proper
Official zeal on the part Of this detective, acting
from his knowledge Of the parties, would have
led to prompt arrest Of these men, and to the
probable disclosure that they were in very
fact the perpetrators of the burglary, and con-
sequentlY TO the recovery Of the large sum Of

STILL ANOTHER PAVEMENT. Another pave
ment has been discovered, and OF course 1t Is
to be tried in this metropolis. 1t will make,
we believe, the ninety-sixth different kind In
use. Nearly every full grown man in Massa-
chusetts owns a patent for pavement, and all
these varieties are to be in due time expert
mented upon in our streets, so that we shall
some time have an unexceptonable article.
We have tried all the possible combinations or
wood, tar and stone, whole and cut; the new
article will be our first experiment in artificial
stone-and will fail, of course.

SEVEN MILLIONS MORE GoNR.-The last pub
lie debt statement shows, as Mr.. Boutwell, puts
it, another reduction of seven millions. It is
but just to add that that count leaves out of view
certain points that ought not to be so left But
it is worth note in this last month Of the
year that 1869 has seen decrease of our debt
by sixty-fve millions. Even at this rate Of
reduction it would only take thirty years to
sink two billions, and the debt now only counts
two billion and half

How IS IT WITH THE BONE BOILERS ?-We
ask. this question in the spirit of Rosa Darte-
'merely for information it is not at
any moment certain exactly what relation the
bone boilers stand in with the law. One day
they are condemned as outrageous nuisances
and driven into satisfactory exile, and on the
next they get permit to suffocatc the people
for several months more. The last heard OF
them, before yesterday, was that they were
hidden to decamp, and yesterday they were
authorized to stay. How is it to-daya Only
one fact is certain in regard to thcm-they have
money.

Remedies Recommended for Decliuiug Amer
lean Shipping Interests.

The committee appointed by Congress to
inquire into and report upon the decline of
American shipping interests closed its investi-
cations in Philadelphia yesterday, having
visited and taken testimony in Port
land, Boston and New York In Octo-
ber The testimony taken covers about
eight hundred manuscript pages and is now
being printed at Washington. The remedies
recommended for the great evil which the
committee has investigated have resolved
themselves in almost every instance into three
propositions. First, drawback of the duty
upon all materials entering into the construc-
ton Of vessels, and subsidy equal to the
amount Of the duty when American
materials are used. Second, permission
to purchase and admit to American regis
tiers foreign built vessels. Third, subsidies
to American lines of ocean steamers. The
majority report Of the committee appointed by
the New York Chamber of Commerce, on
'The Decline of American Commerce and the
Congress-" was submitted yesterday after
noon, but excited a lively debate and was laid
over for further discussion a fortnight hence
1t recommended such notifications of existing
laws that foreign built steamers may be
imported free of duty and privileged to
carry the American flag provided they are
American owned and not TO be employed in
our coastwise trade; that iron plates and
such other material for the construction of
steamers as may be deemed advisable be admit
ted free of duty; that on all ship stores
procurable in bond drawback be returned, as
upon goods shipped for sale in foreign lands;
and, finally, that ample subsidies be granted
to lines of steamers built in American yards.
Surely it is high time that effectual remedies
for the decline Of American shipping interests
be discovered and applied.

Architect Mullet's Report ON Public Buildings.
The Supervising Architect, Mr.. Mullet, in his
report to the Secretary of the Treasury for the
current year, has good deal to say about our
new Post Office, Custom House, Barge Office,
Assay Office and new Custom House pier. His
report on the Post Office is most satisfactory.
He states that the building will be closed in
during the coming season, if sufficient appro-
priations are made to enable him to carry on
the work with the same vigor that has marked
the operations heretofore under the able super
vision of Mr.. S. J. Hulburd, and the financial
punctuality of the Postmaster and paymaster,
General P. II. Jones. The public have no
reason to find fault with the way in which the
Post Office has been advanced up to this point
Relays of men, day and night, have been kept
at work on it while the excavations were being
made until now the foundation of masonry is
laid The traffic in the vicinity of the building is
perhaps as little impeded as could be expected,
considering the magnitude of the work on
hand. Mr.. Mullet says that he is greatly in
debted to Mayor Hall and Street Commissioners
Mclean and Tweed for facilitating his opera
tions. Perhaps this is the reason why the
public have been so little incommoded at this
point, where, of all other parts of the city, the
greatest discomfort might have been expected.
With reference to the Appraisers depart
ment of the Custom House, the erection of a
commodious fireproof building in the place of
the present contracted and dangerous one
seems good suggestion. Mr.. Mullet suggests
that the new Barge Office, which is now in
course Of construction on the Battery, tho
foundations Of which have to be laid under
water by divers, and is therefore very slow
and expensive piece of work, is not necessary,
provided that the contemplated new Custom
House and revenue dock are built on the Bat
terry ground. The removal of the Assay Office
to the same locality is also urged. There is no
doubt that the pressure of business in and about
Wall street, where these buildings stand, is such
as to make change of location very desirable.
Besides. the sale of property in that vicinity
used by the government would pay large
proportion Of the cost of new buildings on the
water 'front.' where the Custom House should
properly be located.
These propositions to erect SO many gigantic
public buildings, involving vast expense,
as they must do would be alarming were it
not for the experience we have recently had
in the new Post Office, which shows that public
works conducted by the federal government
present striking contrast, in economy and
time to those like the Court House under the
management Of our county authorities.

THE CONDUCTOR who put q man Off his
train on the New Jersey Railroad, so that the
man lost his life, now says that he did not
know his train was on the bridge. The con-
ductor who stops his train, not knowing that It
is on bridge, is one that the company should
look after for its own safety.

blessings.
