necessary to the country than now.
The whole South is again in commo-

everywhere putting forth the doc

were to obtain q majority in Con-
gress, practical rebellion in the form
of Ku-Kluxism would undoubtedly
rule the whole South the national
credit would be nearly destroyed;

fold force, and the country again
thrown into confusion and turmoil

Go where you will in New York
you will see strong, stalwart men
clothed in a blue uniform, and armed
with an exceedingly s~erviceable club
each with a silver badge on which il
a number. These men are the
guardians Of the city's peace, known
bv respectable people as police, and
by the class who most fear them a:
"copss ard "Charlies." The greaf
majority of them speak the sweet
Irish brogue; but they are, notwith
standing, as a rule, good, fair men.
who coDscientiously and bravely per
form the duty assigned them.
Some facts as TO the cost of keep
ing the metropolis in order may be Of
interest to your readers. To proper
ly police this city requires an army Of
$500 men, besides the number re-
ouired to officer them. There are
forty captains, besides inspectors, and
an additional force of detectives,
whose business is the hunting down
of criminals and the finding ont OF
things dark and strange that require
more shrewdness than ordinary NOR
tails are supposed to be gifted with.
To support tbs force requires the
neat sum of So, 100000 annually.
Each man on the force has a GER
tain territory which is his especial
business to protect and care for, and
his duties are multifarious. 1t is his
business TO see that no rows or riots
occur in his beat, that drunken men
are kept from disturbing the peace of
the neighborhood, that no unruly or
disorderly crowds c~ongregate to the
violation of the peace, that doors are
securely locked, and, in short, that
law and order is observed Each po-
liceman is compelled to stay on his
beat six hours; then he sleeps SIX,
and is on six more, that is, twelve
of the twenty-four hours be is walk
ing up and down, keeping his eye on
everybody and everything. is there
a fight? The poor policeman grasps
his faithful locust and sails in. He
tears apart the combatants, puts them
arrest, disperses the crowd,
and takes the chances Of having his
own brains knocked out, by that ter
class of outlaws whose highest
pleasure it is to kill or MAIN n of
the hated class who stand between
them and their crimes. Does be see
a suspicious looking person about a
building? 1t is his duty to watch him,
catch him if be commits an act which
the law takes cognizance Of, and to
get him into safe keeping. Is there
child lost? 1t is his duty to find it,
and, by passing the word and de-
scription it is generally found. In
short, the policeman is the general
guardian, but for whom the city
be delivered over to the hordes
Of soulless scoundrels who infest it,
and would be a place which no
Deacably disposed man would live in
Tor a minute. And for this service,
Tor the risk of being knocked on the
head, and shot or stabbed any min
ute, be gets the magnificent sum of
$50 per month, with no pension if he
be manned in the discharge of his
duty.
When you come to New York, and
feel like cruising an inefficient police
think of the work they have to do,
and the miserable pay they get, and
withhold your maledictions.
