As suggested in THE tribune On Sunday, the
uutinous officers had day Of qutot reflection
to think over tho events OF the week. and ulakc
up their minds a8 to the direction OF their duty.
They ponderea over tho acts into which they hnd
permitted the domagoguism Of tho Board OF
Police to- lead them, and arrived at their own
conclusions. The result waR what might nave
been anticipated. Tho heat Of the tight WAS
over, and cool reflection was to guide them.
rhor plain 1uty was to return to their allegiance
to the Mayorr and so It managed to strike all Of
thom. The North Sde Bcrgeanta, except |
Sergeant He4haway, who WAS in acting com.
msnd Of tho North Side Police Dis
trict, were declared to be doubtful
but wero known by tho policemen to be on tho
side Of the Board. Yesterday morning, sergeants
McAnley, Baus, Gerbing, and Bischoif reported
to Acting Captain, Hathaway, and intimated to
Mr. Fred. Gund thEt they were on tho right side
Of the fonco now; ;,and that they would no longer
recognize him. 1Ir. Fred. Gund had been up
priced Of this change in their sontimonts, anu
finding himself Ill alono in his opposition, with
only Sergeant Charley Rehm at hts back, came to
tho conclusion that unless he assumed yirtuo
manufacture from the ehredB Of q very obvious
necessity, his occupation and bis respoctability
were gono together. E1-CommIeaioner,
Ex-oArrAN auND,
therefore, called his mon around him. He shid
no more to them about'kieklng Acting CAPITA in
Hathaway out Of the station, and, as regardB.
tyranny and " ono-man power" Whatever that
might be, he was eloquently silent, having, prob
ably, said enough on that subject to curry all the
favor necessary with tho ex-Board, who had Bus
ponded so many rules to lGve him in position
where such utterances would be needed. Ho
carefully avoided any allnsion.to hs previous ro-
marks. He told the men thnt his yfow Of tho
situation had dnauged, and TINT he would not
assume fa2se position any longer.
He had heon dooapitated BY the
Mayor, and WAS no longer Captain.
The lawful and only Captain was Sergeant Hath
away, and tho officers Of that district must look
to him for ortlera. He Gund. had nothing moro
to do with tho force, and the face Of tho Or
mutinous Captain heightened percoptibly, and
his eyes filled with tears na erat he wept when
his term Of Office expired, and tho people ro-
fused to recognize III him good aud 5udiciouR
Police Commissioner; as erst his eyes were sur
fused when ho handed Jake Rohm his star and
took bis seat outsidethe sacred circlo. Tho mon
woro not thundorstruck. They had anticipated
this sudden atrenk Of submissiveuesa, and oon-
cudoa to oboy. Mr. Sergeant Rohm alone
declared that it was all wrong, and in

It appears that Mr.. Hickey was little shaky
sergoants Of tho South Division Ind opened
his cyos to ono or two things, and it ap.
peared good unto Mr.: Hickey to aban-

ed to Mr. Hickey that the Captain Of the First Po.
lice District did not control the conscienceg OF al
his ssubordnates, and to this sudden realization Of
impotence he was materially assisted by sundr,
Aldermen and other wise persons who had done
their best to prevent q rupture. Ho Rpent q
