SITUATION OF THE MOUNTAIN
For the last twenty days the greatest
excitement has prevailed for L distance II
70 miles around, and in the vicinity OF Bald
Mountain. This mountain Is situated be-
tween Crooked Creek, in Mcdowell county.
and Broad river-the mountain also ex-
tending to Rutherford county. That por-
ton of the range within Mcdowell county
is generally called Stone Mountain. The
FIRST SIGNS OF A DISTURBANCE.
in this locality were Witnessed on the 10th
ei February This consisted in wi at peo-
pie call terrible numbering. the earth
seeming TO culver AT fearful extent.
Some partie, Described il "A, terrible
thunder, gradually dying away in the dis

STATEMENT OF PERSONS WHO HAVE HEARD
TIE SOUNDS.
On Feb. 18th, two gentlemen on the high
est point OF Bad Mountain, known as
Harris View-which Is said TO be next to
Mt. Mitchell in height-heard this strange
noise. One OF them saws that II at first re-
minded him of the falling of heavy timber
and presented strange combination of
sounds and impressions.
Parties living on the mountain sides and
at the base heard the same noise; all think
that the noise was in the mountain. One
man says that when he was on one side of
the mountain the terrible noise was In the
direction of the mountain, and when on
the other side the same undulations were
heard. All feel satisfied that the noise
proceeded alone from this mountain. On
the 22d of Feb. the noise had become per-
ectly terrible.

q man who had no friends. No public officer
was ever such laughing stock for all the world
as Mr.. Richardson has been and is. Then
there is the Assistant Secretary, Mr.. Sawyer,
whose caliber is illustrated in the removal OF
Miss Dawes-a man whose connection with the
Sanborn contracts made it necessary for his
own party in Congress to censure him; and
there is Mr. Banfied, who seems to have been
made the scapegoat for the sins of the whole
Department, and who gave Offense to the rul-
ing powers by refusing to bear his load with
meekness.
Against all these men there have been
grave charges and weighty complaints. The
general voice has demanded thorough over
turn of the whole lot and tho appointment OF
men who are neither imbecile nor dishonest.
The answer Is request to Mr. Baniield to
resign, and an intimatiOn that Mr. Richardson
is thinking about it. Humpty Dumpty has
pounced upon the smallest boy in the squab-
bic. Charley Bates and the Artful Dodger
have got away. The Police have got the

OVR PARTISAN POLICE BOARD.

A bit of ancient history is not bad thing
now and then for the average citizen, who
fumes over his present discomfort without re-
membering its causes. The Police Board is
just now great source of unhappiness. Sup
pose we recall its origin:
1. New-York had a Police Commissioner
whom all the pretended and some of the
genuine Reformers united in denOuncing. TO
call man Hank Smith man." or even q
friend to "Hank Smith," was to damn him.
Many intelligent gentlemen first made up
their minds to vote against Mr.. Greeley when
they were solemnly assured that Hank
"Smith" was going to vote for him. But the
wary "Hank" thought he understood himself
He voted for Gen. Grant.
2. The supporters of the Administration
elected what they called reform Legis-
lature. About its most important act was to
reorganize in the reform interest the govern
ment of this city. Beyond question the most
important feature of this reorganization was
the careful legal provision by which those re-
formers who had been denouncing Mr.. Greeley
because Hank Smith" supported him,
enacted that Mr.. Hank SMITH should remain
President of the Police Board.
8. The supporters of the Administration like
wise selected reform Mayor. THE TRIBUNE,
while cheerfully cOnceding Mr.. Havemeyer's
excellence as citizen, doubted his fitness now
for the mayOralty, and warmly urged another
candidate. But the Administration wave swept
everything before 1t. The one thing for the
reform Mayor to do was to secure reform non
partisan Police Board. The reform Legislature
had given him Mr.. Hank Smith" as its Pres
ident. The reform Mayor thereupon put in
Mr. Oliver Charlick of the Tammany Society,
Ostensibly on the ground that it was neces.
sary to have just such man to watch Mr..
Hank Smith" Next he put in Mr. Hugh
Gardner. the President Of the Administration
New-York tribune., 1874-06-01
NEw-yoRK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY TRIPLE SHEET

Republica.r Genoral Committee, on the ground
that it was necessary to have that sort OF man
to watch Mr. Oliver Charlick. Instead OF be-
ing non-partsan, the Police Board was thus
given over to the control of three men up to
their eyes in partisan politics of the Ward
variety. In condemnng the appointments at the
time, THE TRIBUNE nevertheless recognized
the peculiar force of Mr.. Charlick. and de-
clared that he would dominate the Board.
4. Mr.. Charlick and Mr.. Gardner are now
indicted at the instance Of the Adminlstra-
ton District-AttOrney, for tampering with
the election laws. Is there any human being
who knew the history of their appointment
and supposed they were put there to 90 any
thing elsef
It does not now seem probable that the in
dictments will amount to much, but the facts
above recited are good for doctrine, for re-
proof, and for admOnitiOn. 1t is vital to the
decent enforcement of any election law in this
city, that the Police Board should be com
posed of men not identified with partisan poll
tics, and above the possibility of any tempta-
ton to abuse their official positions for mere
partisan purposes. Whoever struggles to get
O. partisan control of the Police Board, does
it with view of cheating the other side. II
the cheaters get cheated, it must be confessed
that the average citizen, taking but langud
interest in the whole affair, finds it somewhat
difficult to feel much sense of outrage or
worry much about the consequent lndlct-
