An Uncomplaining Magistrate.
The following paragraph appeared In the
World Thursday.


Justice DowLISg. on Tuesday last, openly said
that he knew Of policemen who were In the habit Of
hbeitine pickpockets and sharing their plunder.
Jnice BoswoETH. President OF the Board Of Police
Commissioners. yesterday addressed letter TO Jus
tee DowLfNo requesting the names OF such police
men and; II found guilty. they would be sumnariy
dismissed. The Justice sent q verbal reply, stating
that he did not wish to be complainant"
The Justice OF the Court of Special Ses
siops is raid ten thousand dollars year by
tho people of this city to aid in preserving
the peace. According TO the statement above,
il has come to his knowledge that certain
persons are engaged in violating tho laws of
this State, and, still worse, that these crimi-
nails arc tho very men TO whom tho COM
munlty has a right to look for protection.
These facts arc openly stated by the mags-
trate himself; and, very properly, the police
authorities demand Of him tho names Of
those against whom this public charge is
directed But the names are refused, on the
ground that the Justice " docs not wish to be
n complainant"
Wishes, in tho judgment Of all right
thinking re:sons, ought to be made sutser-
Went TO dd,y. Can there be any doubt that
IL was tho duty Of Justice BOWLING 10 com
municato 10 the Police Commissioners tho
names of the policemen whom he says he
knows 10 lie guilty of a crimcH We are not
aware of any principle which should restrain
agood citizen from exporting men who nro
unfaithful to public trust. Many of us. be-
sides Justice BOWLING, have long been satis-
fed that there are villains on tho police
force. II now seems that he has tho power
to tell who some of them are, and thus TO
procure their removal from position of
responsibility, If not their legal punishment
by conviction and sentence in our courts
Why does lie not exert this power for the
public goodH
The present Legislature is asked to abolish
the State Commissions in this city and in
tho opinion Of many persons their removal
would result in great advantage But such
instances as this in relation 10 Justice Dow.
LlNo--where the contrast between the State
and the city officials is not TO the credit of
the lat;cr-cannot lend much fcrvor TO any
advocacy of the proposed change.

Why did HamiItoa Fish suppress the Sc
Papers.

lnosmuch ns the Cuban question will most
probably be one of the first important sub.
jects brought before Congress when II meets
again, all facts connected with it ere at this
moment Of paramount consequence.
With this view we present our readers to.
day with most interesting series Of
dispatches emauatinp from the official pre-.
sentative of this country in Cuba after the
breaking out Of the revolution, and written
at the time Of The outrages and murders
committed H. the Havana volunteers on de-
fenceless and peaceful American citizens
These papers were not included in Mr..
FlsH's recent communication 10 Congress :;
but for their authenticity we refer him 10 tho
archives of the State Department.
Tho motive which actuatcd him
in supprcssing them le alone can
explain to the country. He can scarcely
exculpate himself on the ground of their not
belonging 10 the documents relative to the
Cuban revolution which he was called upon
by Congress TO furnish; nor will tho lame
excuse hold that they were Addressed to his
predecessor in office, for the las: Of them
must have been received at the State Depart
m,n. hut very few days previous to Mr..
FIsn's entering upon his duties, and must
necessarily have been answered by him.
The importance Of these documents, and
their bearing upon the action of the Admin.
istration, can hardly be overcstimatcd; and
we urgently call upon all members of Con-
gress, and all their constituents 20 ponder
the facts narrated, the urgent circumstances
suggested, and the subsequent conduct of
our Executive.

Religion at Home.

Home il the place where men need their
religion most, because ii Is at home that
men are not only most tempted but most
inclined to show their meanness. There is
seldom any ore to call man to account in
his own house. There lie can too often play
the tyrant or the ruiIlan with impunity; and
there he not mfrcqucntly docs SO misLchavo
to all within his power.
There are tens of thousands Of persons in
this city who profess to be Christians; and
1t would DO interesting to get at the precise
number of these whose families or Deepen.
dents derive any benefit from their masters
supposed religon--whose wives thank God
that they have religious husbands, whose
children thank God that they have religious
fathers, whose employees thank God that
they have religious employers. We hope
there arc many such, because the rrofcseedly
religious man whose wife and children and
employees 90 not have occasion to thank
God for n religious husband and father and
employer, has no religion which will pass
muster either in this world or in that which
is to come. Nor are the employed exempt
from these conditions, any moro than the
employers. A truly religious man, whatever
lis station, puts his religion into his daily
life and vocation, and makes IL tell bcncG.
Gently in the humhlost duties as well as In
the highest,
These remarks and principles apply to wo-
men no less than TO mcn. The wife whose

BowES was Collector Of the Third Internal Reve-
nue. district he employed him (PmLLIPs) to inspect
distilled spirits and coal oil. In order to enable

larry commissioned, but Mr DowEN, after obtain
ing his commission from Washington, withheld Il
from him for about two years. during which time
PHILLIPS says he performed all the duties of the Of
fee without receiving any of the fees amounting TO
10000, which were retained by BowES. PHILLIPS
says that he was the person entitled to receive
the fees and brought the action to recover the
sum 900, together with tho costa Of the suit
Mr.. BowEN's defence was that PHILLIPS, by agree
ment with EDWARD Z. Bowen and 7. b. TILroS
the other two inspectors of the district, agreed
to take fixed salary in place of his fees, leaving
the other two TO divide the fees between them.
The jury found that the plaintiff was entitled TO
