great. A number of republicans In the house
openly declare that they will not vote for it. 1t

buster TO prevent a vote on the bill but the
leaders do not rountenance anything of the SORT
Indeed, some hold that the passage of the bill
will be injurious to the administration.

he declares that, under no circumstances, will
he support Greeley for president, and that the
rumors that he is working in the Interest of
Gen. Grant are falee, Mr. voorhees, is busiy
at work among congressman, and cndeavoring
to make the adoption of the Cncinniti ticket at
Baltimore impossible.
~ FROM THE SOUTH,
c. S. Moves, editor of the Evening Star, has

has occurred III killing old, sick and disabled
horses by the use OF improper implements. 1t

hammers of suitable character and hoods to
cover the eyes Of horses to prevent lodging, and
have distributed these implements to the various
police stations in Boston and other cities, with
directions for their use. These can be had at
any time on application, and with them a single
blow is sufficient 10 kill a horse, Major Dren-

The council Of municipal reform have decided
to take measures to improve the efficiency of
the city police. 1t is claimed that the force, in
stead of being contrived so as to bring the best
intellectual acumen to bear on the prevention
and detection of crime, depends for its efficiency
upon its mechanism borrowed from the systems
Of European capitals. The failures to detect
and arrest notorious criminals of late caused
considerable complaint in certain quarters.
