ARRESTED. Beauregard, a
somewhat notorious character, who
has honored our town by sojourning
in our midst for some time, took a
trip up to Gold Hill on Tuesday.
Soon after his arrival in that place
an officer "spotted" him for "vag.,"
and undertook his arrest; but Beau
regard was too smart for him and
escaped, after a desperate struggle,
he using knife as a persuader. The
Constable of Gold Hill came down
with an assistant to this place that
evening in search of the gent with
the illustrious name, but not finding
his man started for home. just
above the toll<gate the bird was dis
covered, and an arrest effected on
warrant for resisting an officer and
exhibiting a deadly weapon. We
hope the officers of Storey county
may have his company for some
time.

DOUBTLESS "BIG THING."-
The Lyon County TIMES tells of a
Silver City man who has gone East
to hunt up another man." as Too
dies would say, who owns thirty
feet of the original stock of the Con-
solidated Virginia. The man who
owns the thirty feet of ground has
not yet heard of the big bonanza,
and the Silver City man is not going
to tell him what it is worth until at
ter he has buzzed about him for a
few days and succeeded in trading a
shotgun, meerschaum pipe, six
shooter and 81 rs in gold coin for
the whole lot. Thus do men some
times become millionaires. Enter
prise.
In explanation, we will state that
the gentleman referred to has ac-
complished his mission and return
ed to his home on Monday morning
last. We say, accomplished his
mission and we mean every word
of it. The exact amount of stool:
obtained we are not at liberty to
state at this time, but are promised
full particulars for publication
within lew days.

Ere. Baths and tho Pubic Health


The free baths of the city are doing much
good this summer, and have, no doubt, been
instrumental in placing a check upon the
large mortality. Bathing is an important pre-
sentative of health, and the limited accommo-
dalton afforded by the baths has been taxed
TO its utmost since the warm weather set in.
A large number of persons, especially boys
and girls between the ages Of ten and eigh-
teen, who are constant attendants at the
baths, prove the value of such institutions by
the fact that they have preserved their health
during the heated term, and are as rudy and
vigorous as if they had passed the summer in
the country. The only trouble is that we do
not have enough of baths for city like New
York. The river fronts enable as to supply
the entire population with bathing houses, in
localities available to the people, all the way
frUm tho Battery to the Harlem River, on
both sides of the city 4; and it would be wise
policy to appropriate such an amount of
money for the purpose as would enable us to
take advantage of this privilege Hitherto
we have been stupidity parsimon;ous in our ap-
preparations in this direction. Money spent to
preserve the public health is always well
spent 1t economies the public expendi-
lures on sickness and pauperism, and gives us
healthful and vigorous laboring population.
If we supplied the people with five times our
present number of free laths VIC should de-
rive profit from the investment
There is another view in which free baths
or cheap baths arc desirable They induce
the young to learn the art of swimming, and
this not only helps to preserve life, but fos-
tiers disposition to use the bath in after life.
Men and women who can swim and feel con-
idence in themselves in the water will always
be bathers. AT the Eleventh street and North
River baths this season a large number Of
ladies and young girls have been turned out
as profcients in swimming, and the accom-
plishment is one that will remain their own
during their lives. There is no foretelling,
indeed, at what moment it may become in
strumental in saving their lives. The classes
for working gIrls are especially commendable,
and the large attendance proves that their
value is appreciated. 1t is to be hoped that
next year we shah have q more liberal supply
of free baths, and that no person who has the
chance of learning how to swim will neglect
the opportunity.

Pulnit TONIC. TO-DAY.

All Of our city churches, fortunately, have
not closed for the summer. few are still
open and their pastors will to-day minister as
usual to the congregations that gather within
them. One building, however, which it was
intended should be kept open, as it has been
ever since it was founded as the Church of
the Strangers will be closed after to-day.
Not, however, that pastor or people may en-
JOY themselves in the country or by the sea-
side, but that improvements may be made in
lighting, heating and ventilating the build
ing, and that it may be thoroughly painted
and upholstered and pat in perfect repair
But before its doors are closed DR.. Deems will
have something to say about an honest scep-
tic and about the lost opportunity which SO
many honest sceptics as well as others who
are not sceptical have to mourn
at the last. Mr. Saunders will prick
the bubble of tho instantaneous per
fectionists in his treatment of the
growth in grace, and DIR. Porteous will utter
his profound thoughts on the lack of soul re-
lance in religious matters manifested by
Christian people as we'll as by others. Mr..
Taylor will tell what he knows about a king
who went into bad company and how soiled
he was when be came outfit he ever did.
Mr.. Lightbourn will show that Christ and the
believer are inseparable and that there may be
such prodigy as an interrupted public man.
We do not suppose he will set up any of our
local politicians or Congressman as samples.
They would hardly be fit to be in Mrs. Hama
ford one fold and under the supervision of her
one Shepherd. Mr.. Inskip will give his views.
SO often expressed, on the higher life, at Sea
Cliff, and Mr.. Loutrel will give us the conclu-
sion of the whole matter, so that we shall have
no need TO be troubled in mind or be lightly
moved from the iaith after we have heard his
| discourse.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-08-01
Tho Police.

Certainly the worst history that has come
out in the police investigation, apart from the
Nathan story-the worst chronicle of the
ordinary and regular villany Of the POLICIES
the recital of his adventures by Mr.. Sullivan,
the dry goods merchant, of Duane street, who
was robbed in January, 1873. In the light of
that disclosure the police are seen in their
true character-seen in pursuit of the one
purpose that all their action or inaction,
speech or silence, turns upon. They are seen
not as the defenders of the public against the
rogues, not exactly as the defenders of the
rogues against the public, but as the cult
vatnrs Of crime and sharers in Its proceeds,
and as protecting the rogues just enough to
insure the regular return Of their subsidies,
and as protecting property and the people
just enough to keep the rogucs in salutary
terror and subsection.
1t would be difficult without the assistance
of the police to compute the whole value of
the money and property stolen in this city in
the course of every year but, whatever the
value may be, that aggregate of plumber is
the fact in which the police take the greatest
interest They are not anxious to decrease
the total value they want to got hold of the
plumber. They do not care to punish the
thieves, unless they are followed so closely
by some plundered citizen that they cannot help
it, or unless the thieves are refractory and it
becomes necessary TO discipline them. They
do not mean by their vigilance in the protec-
ton of property or by their vigor when the
rogues are traced to dishearten and discourage
the practice in this city OF burglary, pocket
picking, murder or any pursuits of that sort;
for this would be TO reduce their own incomes;
to shut up the Big Bonanzas, out of which
captains, inspectors, detectives and even
common patrolmen make money.
Let 1t not be for a moment fancied, there
fore, that our police means now or ever meant
to prevent crime or to protect the people. 1t
means and always has meant to utilize the
crimes committed here as a source Of wealth,
and TO treat the products of theft Of all sorts
Just as Tweed and company treated the pro-
duct of taxation to make the return a. heavy
as possible and pocket it. That is what our
police is for. And what is the remedy? just
now q legislative inquiry brings out in
separate recitals the stories the papers have
told for years; but we doubt if the day for
cleaning out tie Mulberry street slough is vet
come.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-08-01

He was a curiosity rather than a leader.
People looked at his return to the
Senate very much as the expectant
thousands at a Seville bull fight look for
the coming into the arena of the mighty
and fearless beast who is to die for their
sport, but who before dying, may gore one or
two Of his antagonists. A fame Of this kind
may excite sympathy, but not that admiration
which we give to our leaders, which we gave
to Andrew Johnson when he raised the Union
flag of Tennessee. We may question whether
il was worth while living for the career that
awaited him and whether death even now
does not come as blessing to the fame of
Andrew Johnson. The country had gone be-
yond him. The issues which demand
consideration and settlement are far re-
moved from those which surrounded
his administration. Once the curiosity at
tending his return had faded he would have
become tiresome to the country. He was a
war statesman and no one could be more un-
welcome in q time Of peace-and when peace
and national harmony are the aims of all
patriotic minds Johnson's policy and his
SOusllIulAOuy Ills his Npulu
have been twice-told tale. He would have
fingered as Lyndhurst and Brougham did in
the House of Lords, and as Russell fingers
now-the type of race that had gone
among men who knew him not, ard who
cared nothing for his old, old story. He
passes away, almost the last of his political
generation. Lincoln, Douglas, Breckenridge,
Sumner, Seward, Cass, Stanton, Bell Ever
EFT tall, all are gone. With them departed
the compeers of his active career the men
with whom it was his glory to bear his armor
in the past, and without whom he would
have led lonely and unapprecated life in
the Senate.
Andrew Johnson will be remembered not
only as an honest and brave man, but as
one whose life is full of comfort to the lowly
and aspiring. His personal career is one of
tho noblest in our history, for it is the career
of one who rose from the lowliest beginnings
to the first station in the Republic who never
feared responsibility in the performance of
duty who stood by the Union in its darkest
hours, and, when his voice was more power
full than an army, never faltered in that
devotion That was his creed. In it he lived
and died, leaving behind him name which,
no matter what criticism may say his conn
trymen will not soon let die.

The Ohio Canvas,

We print elsewhere, almost entire, the two
most important speeches SO far made in the
Ohio canvass. Both were made yesterday,
the one by General Rutherford b. Hayes, the
republican candidate for Governor, the other
by Senator Allen G.. Thurman. We recon-
mend these speeches to the perusal of those
who take an interest in the political questions
of the day. We shall recur to them again,
and say about them now only this-that their
main interest for citizens, outside OF Ohio,
consists in this, that the two speakers, each
the conspicuous leader Of his party in Ohio.
both declare themselves in favor of an honest
currency, and against imitation.
General Hayes speaks not only for himself
on this, the most important issue of the dav.
but for his party, and in accordance with that
party's platform. Senator Thurman speaks
against the democratic platform and in oppo-
sition to The candidates named on il. but for
the hard money democrats of Ohio and he
evidently means TO put down the imitation
element in his party and cause honest and
sound councils TO rule in it, We wish him
success in the effort, and that he NAV be able
to defeat the Vaccinations Of Allen and Pen
dleton, looking to the attitude Of his PARTY
next year.
