The New York herald., 1872-08-10

The local Dogberrys in Jersey City promise
to afford some amusement in the course of the
war which has been raging in that wonderful
city for some time. Notwithstanding Jersey
great fame for the Draconian severity of its
laws, the Commonwealth stands in great dan
ger of being overthrown by the very power
on which it depended for the maintenance Of
its fame. With the unlucky dipping of the
Police Commissioners into the political pie in
search of nice little plums there came to light
certain abuses which other Jersey politicians
could not suffer, seeing they derived no profit
from them, and hence the crusade against the
police authorities, which promises to develop
an unusual number of ridiculous situations.
Already We see the police stations turned into
citadels which the occupants are prepared to
defend against the authorities named by the
Governor The new Commissioners are
resoluto knights, and will not be scared
by sight of brandshed locust. How the
matter is to end is difficult to see. If the con-
victed Commissioners make good their threat
to resist removal the Governor might feel him
self justified in calling out the militia-horse,
foot and artillery-and laying siege to the
headquarters in due form. The result would
be exciting, and under the influence of the
world-renowned Jersey lightning both parties
would, in all probability, act like heroes. If
such should be the end of the Dogberry war
jersey would be immortalized and the siege
Of Troy eclipsed forever. So far things look
threatening though the leaders ON both sides
rival the pohteness of the French and Eng
lish guards at Fontenoy in their bowling
and scraping before entering on the de-
cisive work of skull-cracking. Things are
in dangerous condition, and any moment
may precipitate q conflict. A mcmentous hour
in the history of jersey is at hand, and an
extra clash Of Jersey lightning may precipi-
tate struggle which will live in the memory
of mankind. The Police Headquarters have
been put in a condition of defence, and should
an assault be made q desperate resistance will
certainly be offered The fate of Jersey hangs
in the balance and an ill-considered act may
plunge that hitherto peaceful land into all the
agonies of an internecino struggle. Momen-
tous events are looked for, and intense anxiety
is felt for the peaceful solution of the police
difficulty. We hope that no rash act will pre-
cipitate a conflict SO fraught with danger to
Jersey prosperity, and would advise tie rival
Commissioners to adjourn to quiet corner
and settle the matter among themselves -
peaceably if they can; but settle it anyhow.
