borers are now working on the west side
Of Com mercial avenue, between Thirteenth

way of repairing than the plan of patch

Lately great many insinustions have
been INDUCED in concerning the conduct
Of certain member Of the police force, and
not few charges of the most damaging
character have been publicly made. This
is q fact SO palpalle, that it cannot any
longer BIO overlooked The mayor and
council are bound to take cognizancc of it,
and should do SO at onco. At the next
meeting Of the council--and u meeting
should be called without any unnecessary
delay-a special committee should be APP
pointed and instructed to make careful in
quiry into the efficiency and conduct Of
the force. If it is efficient and its mem
bers guiltless of the limitations which have
gained currency in the community, the
public should know the fact but If, on the
other hand, its organization is defective
and any Of its members have been guilty
OF unbecoming conduct, reformatory
measures should at once be adopted.
OUR TOBACCO MARKET.--The sale at
| the Ballard warehouse, yesterday, was
highly encouraging. Tobacco hi been
coming in rather slowly for sometime past,
but at the figures for which it sold yestcr-
day We may look for greater receipts. A
large quantity Of tobacco that was rejected
on the Evansville market was offered here
and sold AT satisfactory prices. In fact,
the entire "break" was taken on an Eu-
ropean order, ard there wrs not a single
rejection. The warehouse ha' been ad-
vised Of considerable shipment from the
upper Ohio which will DO placed upon the
market on the next regular sale
day, August 4sh, when the proprietors ex-
pect to have the largest "brenk" that has
been offered this season. Prices ranged
yesterday from Sc so to Sl2,50 for Tugs to
