A MUCH NEEDED IMpRovEMENT.-Ins speak
ing of the police department, the Advertiser
uses the following language, which we cordial
1y endorse:
We could wish that much needed improve
ment might be introduced as follows: A book
should be kept in which every arrest should be
recorded, with the nature of the crime and the
particulars, together with the name IF the off,
Ger making the arrest. This book should be at
the disposal of the Mayor, marshals and repor-
tiers, and when any case should be kept secret,
it should be marked so that the reporters would
refrain from mentioning it. Until this meth.
cd is pursued las is customary in all other cities
of any size) entirely correct report of arrests
can be given by the papers. This is not owing
to the fault of the police, but the fault of the
present system, by which full information can
be derived in regard to case from the police
man who made the arrest-if the reporter is
lucky enough to see him-or from the deputy
marshal if he happens to be in when the re.
porter goes to the station and is not called of
by business. We hope to see this much needed
improvement made, and shall hail it with joy.

LETTER FROM GENERAL PILLOW

General Gideon J. Pillow has written
letter correcting some published state
ments concerning his surrender to the
Union forces in Montgomery, Ala, in
1865, and closes it as follows:
Though | was without money, and
though my gray Confederate uniform
was worn and covered with dust, and
dingy from its age and the service it
had seen, when reached Montgomery,
where I was thrown amid large num-
bers Of Federal officers with brilliant
uniform, yet was uniformly and al
ways recognized with a respectful mill
tary salute by officers and privates of
the Federal Army, and was pressed with
offers Of money and everything else I
needed by the distinguished officers
above named, who had served with me
in the Mexican war yet I accepted no
money-not one dollar-from. any of
them. But it is due to them to say
that could not have been treated with
greater courtesy and kindness if [ had
been an officer of rank in the Federal
army, than / was. AS the last surviv-
ing general officer of the Regular Army
who seryedin the Mexican war, take
pleasure in saying that the bitterness
engendered by the late civil war was not
sufficient to erase the respect and friend
ship formed by the officers who fought
in that war. And that though I COM
mitted what the Federal soldiers and
Northern people consider great error
and grave crime by my services in the
late war, yet ] have never met Federal
officer, during or since the late civil
war, who has failed to treat me with
courtesy and respect, and duly to ap-
preciate my services to the Government
in the Mexican war. Among these, 1
am happy to mention the marked re-
spect and kindness have received from
the great soldier, the present distinguish
ed President Of theInation, since he has
benin his present exalted position, for
whom it was my pleasure to give my
humble vote against his competitor for
the position he now occupies"
