OUR METROPOLITAN POLICE.-After the
uncommon events OF the fourteenth OF Sep.
tember many people believed, or pretende0
to believe, that the force was so utterly
demoralized that it would be Impossible to
ever again make it effective under the Me-
trOpOlitan law. That belief has Deeh luliy
contradicted. Only few, not more than
half dozen, of the old force resigned, ana
all the wounded. except two or three, have
renorted. or will report, ready for duty.
Nine were killed, aud some were SO badly
wounded that they can never perform
natrolu,en's duty again. For every vacancy
in the ranks not less than half dozen ap-
nlicants have appeared, so that last Wednes-
dav the Board of Commissioners was
actually compelled to post notice,
stating that no more appointments would
be made inside of three months. There
are more supernumeraries on at pres
ent than can by any ordinary chance
obtain sufficient employment to procure
bread. This condition of the force proves
something, and that something is not
against our police system or the gentlemen
who control it. although Superintendent
Badgers guiding hand and power OF com,
mand over the men are missed, t1ehtral
Baldey, acting superintendent, fills that
position admirably, and he has the respect
of all An ordinary observer can not dis
cover that there has been particle OF
change in the personnel OF the iorce' ano
there is nothing beyond Badgers absence
to show that there has been slight inter
ruption. The commissioners pursue thell
duties as regularly as ever. but they arr
not troubled with small charges agalns
officers as formerly. Indeed corporais AM
sorgeants, in times past, were too iona
sending an officer before the board Oh
tritiing notices.
