Attempt Of the Gamblers to

Bribe Washburn.
Another day Of inactivity was passed at th,
city buildings, there being nothing to do fo
either side Of a decisive or sensational nature
The Police Captains had been removed, and the
course OF the Mayor pretty generally under
Btood. The public having got over the imme
dixie excitement, have had leisure to view til,
matter in cool blood, and are now more thar
ever satisfied with the course OF the Mayor. Ant
Is they read the paper to-day, aad ponder q
leisure over the various forces at work in bring
ing about this rupture, they cannot but realize
thatitis fortunate circumstance that collision
Tas brought about before matters got worse.
ALL QUIET.
There wns no unusual stir around the Police
Headquarters yesterday morning, nor did the
Mayors Office present the spectacle it had done
for the past few days. The deposed officers, vino
stiu labored under the erroneous impression
that they we're vested with the rank of Captains.
presented themselves at headquarters, and pre-
sented reports to DR.. Ward Captain French
also appeared and presented his report to Super.
intendent Waahburn. His former associates,
with an evident deslre to discourage him, treated
him with distance and co1dness. But Charley
kept his OWL counsel and took matters philo-
sophically.

There are, therefore. at present the following |
Sezge.nts ready to transmit orders to their sub. |
mainates from the Superintendent LuI,
Barrett, Fox, Briscoe, Douglass and Hathaway:
The following arc considered doubtful as re-
Eards obeying the Superintendent Buckley,
AcAuley, Moore. and Ellis. They ali think it |
eeSere to be called upon to express themselves,
declaring that it is not o question that ought
nghttu1ly to be put to them. This is perhaps
Gua, but the action Of the eo-called Board and
thar Captains has thrown this unpleasant bur
Den upon them. The former have endeavored
70 use them as tools with which to destroy
authority, and to them must the unfortunate
6e1geanta complain of the severity of their lot.
