Police TRIALS.

Thomas +. Walsh made q complaint yesterday
before Commissioner Manicrre against Captain
Kennedy OF the Sixth precinct, Tor improper con-
duct Ii appeared from the testimony taken that
Walsh is the keeper OF liquor saloon at No. Is
Chambers street. A fight occurred there some time
since and a man named McIntee was severely
beaten. Walsh called In policeman and
caused the arrest OF Mclntee, who, when
he got to the station house, made
charge OF assault and battery against
Walsh. Upon this Captain Kennedy sent two
policemen to arrest Walsh, and when he arrived at
sent to the Tombs on the following morning and
disposed of in the usual way. Walsh's friends
however, were very Indignant at his Incarceration
and worked hard the night Of his arrest to pro-
cure his release, but were unsuccessful, and the
charge made yesterday morning was no doubt In
tended as q means Of getting even with the
Captain.
McIntee was placed on the stand before the
Commissioner, and he stated that he was badly
beaten by three or four men; he was compelled to
were very much cut. captain Kennedy testified
that he sent two officers TO arrest Mr.. Walsh; he
sent two because of the character of the men who
irequented the place. Mr.. Walsh desired
to know what the Captain meant by
"the character OF the men who went to
his house, Captain Kennedy explained that
there was always gang" about the saloon. He
named several persons who he said were arrested
there Tor various offences. Some OF these were
convicted in the Courts and others OF them had
disappeared. The case was then postponed for the
purpose oi hearing further testimony.

Police Commissioners of Jersey city
The Grecnvillc Troubles-AnOtner Eff
fort for Bumstcd.
The present session Of the Supreme Court OF
New Jersey, at Trenton will be ever memorable
on account OF the important questions under
consideration. The Court has already pre-
vented 1agrant frauds in Jersey City by
timely action, and Messrs. Albeit and
Ransom. who represent the taxpayers OF Jersey
City, are following up the advantages gained in
behalf Of popular rights. Yesterday morning the
application of Mr.. Ransom for writ of mandamus
and o writ OF quo ,oa,7anto to compel Ezekiel N
Prtchard, Thomas Edmondson, Thomas A. Gross
and Frederick A. Goetze to deliver over to the
Board OF Police Commissioners OF Jersey City, of
which Board William d. Hart is President,
all the papers, records, documents and
other paraphernalia belonging to the office
of Police Commissioners, and which property the
defendants are in unlawful possession oil, was
granted by the Court and made returnabe on next
Wednesday, when the matter viii be fully argued
by Messrs. Ransom and Albeit on the part OF the
relators and Messrs. Parker and Dixon on the part
the defendants. copy Of the Information OF quo
a1dyYantO was ordered to be served on each OF the
old commissioners as soon as possible.
The case OF Police Sergeant Robbins vs. Mayor
O'Neill, OF Jersey CITY, for writ OF mandamus TO
compel the Mayor to sign warrant for Robbins
Court set it down for argument next Wednesday,
on which day there will be a final hearing
An application was made by Leon Albeit to the
Supreme Court for mandamus to compel the late
Town Clerk and Treasurer Of Grcenville Hudson
county, to deliver up the books papers and records
OF their Office to the Town Clerk and Treasurer
chosen at the late township election. The
old officers held possession OF the books on the
ground that the election was not legal, but the
present officers contended that the claimants could
not 90 behind the election returns except upon
writ of quo ,ca,7unto, and they had made no APP
plication for that The Court, therefore, compelled
them to deliver up the township books and papers
to John Rowe Clerk and John Morrill,, Treasurer,
the newly elected officers.
An effort will be made to procure the release OF
Bumsted from State Prison at the approaching ses-
sion OF the Court of Pardons. The evidence in the
McWilliams trial respecting him is TO be submitted
to the Court
The case OF the Hoboken Land and Improvement
Company vs.. The Mayor and Council OF HOboken
was laid over till next term.
None OF the cases OF assessment OF property In
Jersey City have yet been taken up. Mr.. Albeit
remains unshaken In his conviction that nearly all
the assessments will be set aside.

NY DEAR SIR--I received an Albany Journal with
your jubilee speech. You were 80 kind and cour-

heart. am sure it does honor to your character
and impulses.
During tine campaign-asde from little play
fulness now and then-i let no word escape me
about you that you would not consider fair play or
lair fight; and this is my qualification, that, amid
the grOssness OF the campaign incidental to all
elections, You and come out OF II without the
bemIshes which 80 often blur victory and humiliate
defeat.
am almost sorry that cannot be your colleague
in the next Congress- but shall cheeriuIy retire

and to matters which think are more cOngenial
than politics; and l much mistake II you do not
attend the sittings OF the Supreme Court at WASH

The recent canvass earnest and exciting as it
has been, has LETT no ranking wounds in my breast
