THE REFORM OF THE POLICE.

We are extremely gratifed that our re-
marks on police reform appear to have
been SO cordially welcomed. There has
been much apathy upon the subject, per-
haps because there has been feeling of
despair as to the probability of any change
for the better. But the moment that the
subject is discussed, and there is posi-
bility of progress in our police organiza-
ton, the entire community becomes pro-
foundly interested. We wish to impress
upon the minds of all whom it may con-
Germ, that the day of clumsy system Of
police and Of mean material in this city
has passed away.
Reform-thorough and speedy-must
now be commenced. To effect this, much
has to be considered and planned. The
best sys TENS of other localities must be
overhauled and ideas from them adopted.
The character of the organization must be
such, that the position of an officer of the
peace shall be unhesitatingly sought, and
proudly held by citizens of worth and
responsibility. As we have before said,
the salaries should be quite liberal
and punctually paid. There should
be the idea of permanency in
the service, and steady promotion
for those who choose to remain on the
rolls, and who make the business pro-
fession and life occupation.
Literary societies, libraries and bene-
VIOLENT associations should be a part of
the attractions for men of intelligence and
refinement whom, since the war, Stern ne-
cessity has constrained to seek police po-
sitions.
In the examination of candidates, the
more intelligent and refined they are, the
better they will answer-other things
being equalizer the force. A fair educa-
ton and personal character must be indis-
pensable requirements. The physique
and the personal address of applicants are
not trifiDg matters for consideration. We
reiterate here that no officer of the police
should, with impunity, indulge in profani-
ty or obscenity.
As we journeyed in one of the city cars
yesterday, almost filed with police Off
GERS, whose countenances by no means
indicated the 'right men in the right
place." we were not all pleased to hear
constant oaths and coarse language from

COMMISSIONER GoTTHElL's REPORT.

Mr.. Commissioner Gottheils report, in
another column, will amply repay a care
full perusal. His description of The Ex-
position, to which he was accredited to re-
present the interests of the Louisiana
contributors, is written in style at once
concise and graceful, conveying much
valuable information in a thoroughly pleas
ing manner. His account of the means
taken, and the results achieved, in pre-
pairing the grounds for the display of
agricultural and horticultural produc S,
utensils, ETC., might be probably studied
by those who will have the charge of
identifying the City Park under the new
State law. Mr.. Gottheil's suggestions re-
lative to tie means for securing immigra-
ton to Louisiana are Of practical char
acter, and come from a gentleman
thoroughly acquainted with all the bear
ings of that important question.

those who. by virtue of their Office, could,
in their discretion, arrest and make pub
lie charges against. citizens. Rigid sur
veillance, in short, should be constantly
held over the personnel of the police, and
thus it may become somewhat as it
should be. We well know that there are
excellent officers on the rolls, and it is
really on behalf of these few that we
have thus written.
The large amount of money now ex-
pended for police purposes, the high and
delicate duties assigned to officers, justly
warrants us in expecting police equal to
any In the world. We trust that this ex-
pectation will soon be gratifed, amid the
decided appreciation of the whole country.

on CARONDELET STREET,

The month and the week opened yester-
day with very little stir among the fnan-
cial operators Of Carondelet street. II
rained copiously, bu. there we're, fortu-
nately for every o1es peace Of mind, but
few Of those aquatic birds known as ELAINE
! ducks" to enjoy the element in which their
genus is supposed TO delight peculiarly.
Notwithstanding tire rain, most OF the
brokers appeared to be quits amiably dis
posed, but there was not business enough
done to make any one blue or joyous.
Some operations were effected in levee
stock, and at prices averaging about the
same as those Of Saturday. Here and
there may be found some one or two who
are very positive they sold too soon, and
good many more did not expect to see
the rise maintained as it has been. The
sales reported here are communicated by
parties interested. Before the meeting
Of the board 1000 shares were sold fixed
thirty days. at S12; geo at S14; 500 and
GOO at s14 SO, and 100 at SIG. After the
board GOO shares changed hands at s14 IS.
We heard Of three sales of Ship Island
and one resale. 500 shares went at 81 55;
1000 at 81 81, and 1000 at 81 60. These
figures have been about the rate for this
stock for some time past. The public is
evidently waiting for something to turn
up in Ship Island before specializing in it
to any alarming extent.
Slaughterhouse brought $50 at the
board-buyers' option fat. This is a slight
decadence from the prices of the past few
days, but the falling off is not confirmed by
any transactions upon the street that have
came to our knowledge.
1t is an interesting thiGg to note the
figure at which Jackson railway stock is
held during the present complications in
which the company is involved. Two
hundred and thirty shares were disposed
Of at the Board last evening at S. 70. As
the Supreme Court does not see its way
clear to interfere, at the present Juno
ture, in the matter Of the iniunctions
pending before the Sixth and Eighth |
Courts, in which the old and new boards |
of directors are restraining each other |
from managing the road, the litigation
upon the subject may become tedious and |
damaging to the interests of |
owners.
The proceedings at the Board of Brokers
last evening were as follows:

A CARD.

FOR years the church under my charge has strug
gied under all the disadvantages Of bad location
and a miserable bu,lding-a location obscure as well
as inconvenient to large portion of the population
OF Jefferson City: a building that suffers in COM
parison with even the colored churches Through
the iberaty of citizens of New Orle4ns and vicin-
lty, we nave recently secured beautiful and central
site on Napoleon avenue We need the funds
TO erect suitable house of worship on the lot For
this purpose, the ladies of the church have deter
mined to hold fair at Union Hall, corner of Mag
azne and Third streets, beginning the second of
May next. l now most earnestly appeal not only
to the congregations Of the Presbyterian Churches
in New Orleans, but TO the public at large to help
US. A few dollars from the many will secure an
ate of thousands, ard their generous liberal
ty will not only make rejoice. but be its own re-
ward in the consciousness OF having done service
in the cause of the Divine Redeemer.

An interesting feature Of the fair has
been the reception of prizes for usetu.
machinery and agricultural implements
from mechanics living in Western States
that but few years since were purely
agricultural, if not in virgin forest. Fo,
| example Studbaker Brothers, from South
Bend, Indiana, the home of Vice-President
Colfax, received no less than five blue rib.
bons, on wagons, etc. Thomas Scantlin &
Son, Of Evansville, Indiana, had the first
premium awarded them for heat radiator,
as well as for evaporating pans for sugar.
This is an excellent portable evaporating
pan. Their Harmonic cooking stove, We
heretofore mentioned. Ohio, until recent
~ only an agricultural State, is now the
third manufacturing in the nation. 1t is
not strange, therefore, that her metropolis,
Cincinnati, should food Louisiana and her
Fair with machinery. Lane & Bodley, Of
that city, made a large showing in ma
chinery field, and carried of seven pre-
miums, viz for two circular saw mills,
railroad cutoff saws, lathe machines, shaft
ing and pulley, and portable plantation
engines, where score or so of engines
We're competitors.
Of course it is impossible in the limited
space allotted, to note even the names of
all the good things which took premiums,
or their owners. Yet it is gratifyingito be
able to say that the mechanical friend who
beaddled Us so much by the enumeration
of his "low-water detector for boilers"
(Berryman's) took the premium on his
machine (he worked for it,, besides four
other premiums, viz: On artificial stones, Of
the Union Stone Company, Boston, lover
its rival, the Frear Stone Company, Of
Louisiana) on Heath's Brick Press, from
Maiden, Massachusetts,; Heath's Invalid
Bed (of this city, and Berryman's boiler
feed regulator.
Having had several good cups of COTE
from Dodge's patent steam coffee maker,
no less can be done than to say it received
the blue ribbon.
Of the additional contests at the fair
and in the papers between the piano men
and the committee men nothing interest
ing to the public can be said. Whether
the grand piano of the st. Louis Manu-
Company did or did not receive
a diploma for the best made in the South,
let the advertisements and the records
tell.

POLITICAL SECFSSI0N.

The leaders of the peoples Party" de-
clare in their address that they can not
consistently expect the colored people to
aid them in xpholding the Northern
Democracy, as that would be requiring
them to vote for their own disfranchise-
ment. They, therefore, propose to secede,
cut loose from their late Northern allies,
the sycophantic Copperheads, and en-
deavor to set up new party.
