Fer nearly one year q wantot harmony
has existed in the police force between
the chief and the captains. Such a
condition Of affairs arose out of the last
municipal election, when vile effort was
made to displace Chief Athy from the
position he so worthily held. Promises
we're broken and the Chief was surround
ed by men in whom he had no confidence
and whose complexion he could not in
dorse. If any shortcoming appeared in
the results of police matters it must OF
necessity be attributed to this fact. At
first, when the General Council forced
the Mayor to nominate Chief Athy, he
had as Captains Messrs. Walsh and
Smith, and between them and
him no good feeling or harmony
existed, as he and they represented
different elements and shades of politics,
but these men were thrust upon him for
political reasons. Some months since
said Walsh was removed and Sergeant
Wetherford became Captain. and on
Saturday last the Police Board removed
Captain Smith and appointed in his place
Sergeant Braun, whose place as Sergeant
was at once filled by patrolman Hag-
gerty. At the Police Board meeting on
last Saturday the Chief asked the reno.
val of Smith on the ground of want OF
harmony between him and Smith. A
sharp discussion sprang up between
Chief Athy and Mayor League, the latter
having appointed Smith and being
anxious to retain him, but the two
other members of the Board, Chairmen
Robbins and Hewett, votedt to sustain the
Chief, and the Mayors vote was in the
minority. We have no desire to open
up this police imbroglio, but if we de-
sired to do so it would not reflect the
greatest credit upon the opponents of
Chief Athy. The removal of Captain
Smith was necessary for the good Of the
force and its efficiency in protecting
and the promotion of Sergeant
Braun and patrolman Haggerty meets
with the approval of the Conservative
public. In common with all good citi-
zens, we feel that these changes should
have been made months ago. Next |
January there will be an effort made to
so change the complexion of the Cen
eral Council as to change the COM
plexion Of the Police Board but the
people must see that such schemers and
ward bummers are not elected as Alder
men and Councilmen. We give the
in time and will have more to
say about it ere long.

rHE RAILRoAp QUESTION.

The suit brought against the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad Company by
Colonel II. Clay King, as made known
first through the LEDGER, has attracted
considerable attention. The Nashville
Unien and American, commenting on
the subject, says:
The point Immediately involved is the
right Of q railroad to establish the arbi
trary charge of twenty-five cents for get
ting on and off Of the cars, regardless
of the distance, or the maximum rate
allowed by its charter. If decided
against it. we suppose the railroad
would seek its revenge by abolishing all
stations under FIVE miles. This would
suring a new question, which, we be.
lieye, has never been solved-the right
of railroad to abolish and change its
stations. Very often heavy investments
are made st small railway stations,
merely because they are such. Have
the men who thus apply their capital
and energy no vested rights that rail-
roads are bound to respect?
More important than the issue sprung
at Memphis is the question of local
tariffs discriminating against towns,
cities and whole sections Of country. In
one way or another railroad can, at its
Measure, make or mar a given town.
This fearful power is being daily ex-
ercised more or less almost without let
or hindrance. Our people have hitherto
bean an anxious for railroad com
munications, that they have submitted
TO the most unblushing extortions. II
tie thing goes on much longer, they will
become our masters instead OF servants.
The problem, in all its bearings. cannot
be tackled too soon, for each days de-
Law on our part makes the iron horse
stronger against us.

STEAMBOAT ROBBERY.
The once OF she city Of vickeburg
Plundered OF Thirty Eight Hum
dred Dollars.


Yesterday morning while the Anchor
Line steamer City of Vicksburg was
lying at the elevator the Office Of the
boat was entered by burglars who opened
the cash drawer with false keys, and
carried off about thirty-eight hundred
dollars in money. The clerk had been
en- watch up to one o'clock at night, and
had retired to his room. The money
was locked up in the cash drawer,
which was of iron, and could not have
been opened without a duplicate key,
unless resort was had to powder, which,
of course, would have given an alarm.
The robbers entered the Office about
day light, opened the drawer with du-
plicate key and gobbled up the money.
In their hurry they left over eight hun
bred dollars, a gold watch and chain,
and other yaluables untouched in the
back part of the drawer. The robbery
was carefully planned, and was executed
with celebrity and adroitness. So far no
clue has been obtained as to the robbers
or the missing funds.

The new Police Regime.

The changes in the police official force
have had the effect of adding not only
to the effectiveness of the force itself but
also to its discipline and morale. The
officers of the force are; Chief, Phil r.
Athy; Captains, G. K. Weatherford and
Chas. Il. Braun; Sergeants, R. F. Arrata.
Pat McElroy, W. 6. Pryde and Peter
Haggerty. In the way Of nationality it
gives three Irishmen. two Americans, one
Italian and one German. The newly APP
pointed officers are well known in the city.
Captain Braun had been a popular school
teacher in our city before the war and
commanded a Confederate battery ct
Vicksburg. He is an accomplished and
educated man-one who was deserving
of promotion, and who will do equal and
exact justice to al. His promotion has
given universal satisfaction, and it re-
dornds to the credit Of the Police Board,
OF those Of the Board who favored such.

by his untiring efforts in this respect,
given the force that military bearing and

spect, and which has fine effect on the
force itssl(. We may reasonably expect
increased vigilanVs ana efficiency on ae-
