THE WASHINGTON Police CoURT.-An
official report of the District Legislature
OF the Police Court of Washington, es-
tablished little less than a year since
by Congress, presents an awful expose
of crime, oppression, and corruption.
The entire press cry out for its aboli.
ton at once. The report shows conclu-
sively that the subordinate officers OF
the court are negligent, extravagant,
corrupt, regardless alike of law and of
common decency. They have swindled
the corporation at every turn by false
charges, altered entries, and every con.
ceivable trick. They have taken lewd
women from their resorts, cohabited
with them in the apartments of justice,
caused heavy fines to be imposed upon
them in the morning, and before night
black-mailed them on the plea of let
ting them off easy. Not a suggestion
of meanness and infamy can be added,
says the leading Republican paper here,
to this appalling record.

The Imperial Family.

gentleman recently returned from
Europe, where he has been intimate
with the social relations of the French
imperial family, reports that Napoleon
believes in his early restoration to the
French government. Theirs is regarded
as a mere makeshift, and that his Ma
poleons) death at this time would be
followed by another civil war. Gambetta
is looked upon as an ambitious, intrigu
ing, able man. BGzaine waits for history
to Justify him. lie Boeuf is wretched
creature" The Empress is well, and
intends to send the Prince imperial on
a tour through the United States when
he is little older. The imperial family
receive the attentions of the royal family
and nobility of England. There are
now two parties in France, the Imperi-
alists and the Red Republicans. The
Bourbons are nowhere" European
diplomatists abroad favor Napoleon's
return, believing that his restoration
would keep in subsection the disorderly
elements of the French, which are now
a constant menance to Europe.
1t is also stated (by the name of
authority that England is threatened
with serious revolutionary troubles, and
it was believed that the Cancellation of
the government would fail to satisfy the
demands of the people.

Gambetta'S Views Of the Future OF
France.

A Paris correspondent of the London
Spectator furnishes the following extra
ordinary report of an interview with
Gambetta I" He declares for the first
time the Republican party feels sure of
a majority.-and of decisive majority,
not only in the towns but in the rural
districts. The next appeals to the
country, be they made by legitimis,s,
Orleanists, or Republicans by McMa-
hon, by the Princes of the Orleans fam
lily, or by Theirs, or by himself, the re-
suit is almost as certain to be great
Republican victory as any event can be
certain in political history. He repudi
ates with vehemence the notion of q
coup detat. He declares that the con-
slant appeal to force is the one great
mischief of the immediate past, and
nothing should induce him to sanction
it. He says it would be as foolish as it
would be criminal, for it would be quite
mics, he says, both the new and the
old, is no doubt republican to the core,
but then the country is republican too
and there is no need for calling the aid
of the army. He has evidently a con-
siderable fear if the republican move
ment goes on too rapidly, and in way
to alarm the Germans, Prussia might
still interfere, and gather that con-
siderable part of his evident desire to be
moderate arises from his dread of that
event. AS for the future he declares
that to attempt anything more against
Germany without allies would be utter

The FAMINE IN PERsIA.-Advices from
Bombay report that the famine in Persia
had entailed dreadful sufferings on the
inhabitants of that country. In Issa-
bian the public shops were opened sell.
ing camel, ass, dog, and cat flesh, and
yet from 20 to so persons died daily,
and people went about selling their
children. In Kassan and Kone, cities
where corn formerly abounded, people
had been caught cutting down children
for food. In Khorassan $4,000 men
have been swept off, and the survivors
used to rake up the corpses for food.
On July 81, Mr.. Allison, charge d 'affaires
at Teheran, who had confirmed state
ments of the sufferings by famine, said.
in response to the request of England
for information as to the extent of the
famine, "The famine is over, but pro-
visions are very dear

PeStilence in New York.

The commissioners of the Board of
Health in New York, passed a resolu-
ton on Monday that careful inquiry
be made to discover, as far as possible,
the cause of the high death rate in that
city, from zymotic disease, feyers, chole-
ra infantum, diarrhoea, consumption,
etc. For this purpose the sanitary com.
mittee was ordered to present the
Board of Health with weekly state
ment on this subject, with a view to eff
tective measures to ascertain what are
the local causes of the diseases. The
sanitary condition of the city excites
the gravest apprehensions. Some of the
streets are in a fearfully filthy state,
and the gathering of the foul matter is
left to accumulate, so that in some of
the much frequented thoroughfares the
stencil has become absolutely unbeara-
bic. The warm weather of few DAYS
past will, if continued, be likely to cause
local pestlences unless measures for
sanitary reforms are at once taken.

PIoRIC PowDER.-Prof. Abel, chemist
to the British War Department., has,
after prosecuting numerous expert
ments, succeeded in perfecting
the new explosive agent recently
produced by him under the name of
picric powder as material for charging
shells. Although it is not so violent in
action as gnE cotton, nitro. glycerine, or
picrate of potash, picric powder is a
much more powerful explosive than
gunpowder, and has other properties
which appear to render it peculiarly
adapted for employment in shells. Its
merils are that it may be readily and
expeditiously prepared, and that it is
remarkable for its safety as compared
with all other explosive agents, being
somewhat less sensitive to ignition by
percussion than gunpowder. The
President Of the Committee of Explo
sives at Woolwich having pronounced
the new powder worthy of further ex.
pertinent, it will be tried under various
conditions in order to ascertain its suit
ability to the requirements of the SER
vice.

BIsMARK AND THE CHURCH OF ROME.

BIsNARK AND THE CHURCH OF RoME.-
The mails by the China bring the i'm
portant news, entirely overlooked by
the telegraph agent in London, that
Bismark has declared war against the
church of Rome. He has abolished,
by decree just published, the Catho-
lie bureau of the department of public
worship in Germany. This act of Bis
mark is the first blow struck at papal
inability. Cures and Bishops who fol-
lowed Dollinger, and had been removed
from their parishes by their Catholic
superiors, have all been reinstated by
the States, and the whole of Germany
are daily looking for still more stirring
blow to be struck at the church by the
great chancellor of the Empire.

are the chosen homes of nearly 200, 900
