Marshal Snowden receives an in
come of eighteen hundred dollars
per annum, a sum fully sufficient to
maintain him respectfully, he
delegates the duty prescribed by the
ordinance to q favorite constable,
and the result is about as follows:
Each inmate of public houses is
compelled to pay $3.50 to the Police
Court. OF this amount the school
fund receives $500, the Police
Judge $3.50 and the informer $40.
II the Marshal performed his duty
personally no charges for the arrest
or complaint could be made and
therefore the $40 are virtually
stolen from the school fund, or the
person that pays the fine. Now it
is plain that the ordinance intended
this monthly system of fines to be a
round about license system, why
should the marshal's substitute be
permitted to rob the school fund of
from 500 to Sl50per month? This is,
however, not the worst feature.
Under this system, money is fire.
quently extorted from these women
without arrest, and no returns are
made.
In such instances the black-mail-
ing police spy pockets both the
fines and costs. These rapacious
hawks arc tolerated right under the
nose of the police judge. 1t has
even been rumored that our city
Manhals have, since the introduce
ton Of this system secretly connived
at these nefarious practices and have
habitually divided the spoils with
their confidential confederates.
While We have no means OF
knowing whether this system OF
division still prevails, we have not
. particle of doubt that it did pre-
vail IN times past. The fact that
two policemen have within the past
week forced their way into a room
occupied by oourtesans, and levied
upon them without due process OF
law, Is sufficient evidence Of the
demoralizing rottenness Of this sys-
tenn.
Now what we demand is a re-
vision of the ordinance so as to pro-
hibit and prevent this imposition
In the future. If the Marshal oan-
not find time to report the
names and number of this class let
him depute policemen to do SO in
each ward.
Under no circumstances should
the Marshal, or any police officer be
permitted to compromise or collect
fines, but in every cas- the money
should be paid directly to the police
court, Other reforms should be in
augurated, of which We intend to
speak hereafter.

ROTTEN SYSTEM.

The foulest spot in our Municipal
administration is the prevalent
management, or rather mismanage.
ment, Of prostitution. This rotten
system has been the source of the
most degrading corruption and un.
blushing venality. 1t has de.
graded our city marshals and
demoralized their subordinates.
1t has become a fostering sore on
the bod ymunicipal which we believe
demands fearless cauterization, If we
wish to restore our police force to
snciency and responsibility. A
plain statement Of facts win, We
apprehend, convince any unpreju-
diced mind that a radical change is
absolutely demanded. Like all
cities, Omaha contains q certain
number of women who live by pros.
titution. Their number has, we are
informed, varied from seventy-five
to one hundred and fifty. At pres
emit their number might be put
down ct the minimum figures.
Under our city charter, (Sec. 81 the
City Council Is empowered to re-
Stsain, prohibit and suppress tipping

system into . system Of

New ORLEANS, June Is, 1874.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
During the session of the late Leyee Con-
venticn held in this city, Mr.. Bradish John
son. Of Plaauemines parish, in speech
in which he animadverted with bitterness
on the police jury of said parish, complained
of the bonding Of the parish debt. regret,
in common with Mr. johnson, that we have
ary debt at all. 1t is. however, true that the
parish has had warrants and they have been
bonded, but simply because Mr.. johnson
and other planters like him are IN arrears
of their parish taxes from $500 to S3Voo.
While these warrants were on the market
these gentlemen were wont to buy them at
fifteen to twenty cents on the dollar, pay
ing their taxes thereby. By the funding OF
these warrants they can no longer pay their
taxes in deprecated paper and realize
handsome profit on the operation. When
ever it can be shown that the action OF tie
police Jury is detrimental to the majority
of the taxpayers of the parish, and not to
coterie of delinquents, il will then, perhaps,
be reasonable time for MT. Johnson 70 COM
Main. Meanwhile the books Of the police
iury are open to the inspection OF all parties
intere sted and disposed to doubt that every
dollar of the bonded debt Of the parish is
