Chief Campbell Removed and Then
Temporarily Reinstated.
There was quite c0mmOtOn throughout the

came generally known that Chief OF Police P. Camp

The rumor was not credited in all
quarters, however, inasmuch as the President of
the Board Of Police, General Jourdan, had re-
peatedly asserted that partisanshlp should have
nothing whatever to do with the selection of
officials; that In all appointments or reappOint-
ments they would be actuated purely by desire
TO promote the emclency or the Police Depart
ment. In appointments thus far made sixty-lOur
have been republicans and fourteen OF the de-
pleted ranks OF that which was once known as the
majority party OF Kings county, the democracy. 1t
would thus appear that efficiency cannot easily be
discovered outside the admin istraton party in
Brooklyn. This Is regarded as rather severe upon

The Argus is not quite convinced that

going to wait for the returns Of 1872
Well let il wait, but it should quote the
returns for the United States more cor
rcctlv than in It's recent table, where the
figures are considerably smaller than the
actual ones. Then it should keep in mind
that the Governor speaks of what is doing
at the present in iron. while the business
is depressed in Europe By strikes and
other causes, and in Pennsylvania it is
stimulated by the great demand and profit.
The Governor was not disputing the past
returns. but simply asserting what was
the fact in December about the production
Of iron in Pennsylvania and Europe. The
