PrOPG AIMING THE POLICg BOARD.

RFORGANIzING THE POLiCR BOARD.
Things are moving fast in our city politics.
II was pretty generally assumed yesterday
afternoon that THE TRIBUNE'S suggestion
about recognizing the Police Board had
good chance of being adopted.
The politicians were busy specializing as
to Mr. Matsell's successor, if not also
as to successors for some Of the others.
We hope and believe that the Mayor takes a
different view of the case from the poll
ticans. The situation, indeed, presents
him great opportunity, and We sincerely
trust he may provo himself equal to it..
There has come to him again, in fact.
the chance which came to Mr.. Have
meyer at the beginning of his Inflated
term Mr.. Wckham may gain the
gratitude of rght-thinking men of all
classes, and assure himself high place in
our municipal history, if he will break
loose absolutely from party dictaion and re-
solve to give this city for once an honest and
capable Police Board, selected without refer
ence to partisan advantages. He may on the other
hand, add his name to the long list of Mayors
who were content to drag their high Office in
the dirt at the dictation of the petty kings of
the caucus and the ward meeting. Within the
next week or two wo believe he is likely to
make his choice.
There can be no doubt that the Tam
many leaders would be glad in the
next election of whatever aid can he hon
estly given them by subservient Police
Board constituted entirely in their
interest and to their liking. Mayors hitherto
have felt disposed to use their powers for just
such partisan ends. Mayor Wicllham can
do it toO-can blast the hopes his friends
have formed of his career, and take his
place in the long catalogue of men who have
been satisfied in the citys highest place to do the
dirty work of their party, and pass out of notice.
But that is not his ambiliOn-that is not what
his record thus far leads lis to expect of him !;
il certainly il not what his friends hope.
VIII the Mayor seek in recognizing the
Police Board to make it up of men who
will serve the Tammany Society first, and
tho city second or of men who will serve
the city first and all the time The
Mayor has nearly reached the dividing of
WAYS Thus far he has done admirably.
Which course will he take now

Apropos of the Kelley Motor we shall now have
season and series of astounding inventions. There
is man IN Rome n. Y. who has q machine nearly
perfected which will pump its own water and run
itself without fire or steam. The inventor calculates
that when the thing is fully developed the patent
will be worth 81 O00,O00 All he wants now ais

Considering that our country prepared hast
lily for the Geographical Congress and Exhibi-
ton in Paris, it is creditabe to American sci
ence that letters of distinction have been
awarded to the Navy Department and the Sig
nal Bureau at Washington. This award will
no doubt lead European scientists to take
more interest in the incidents of scientific
progress on this continent.

At the meeting of the Police Board yester-
day, the discussion of Saturday as to plots and
counterplots among the Commissioners was
continued in lively fashion. A question of
veracty was raised between Commissioners
Smith and Disbeckcr. Gen. Smith asserted
that Mr.. Disbecker offered to support his
measures and vote for him as President of the
Board if he would put a stop to certain news
paper attacks upon Mr.. Disbccker. Commits
sioner Disbeckcr denied that he had said any
thing of the sort, and he accused Gen. Smith
of "demagOgism" in cOndemning the demon
alizaton of the Police force. We cannot think
that the people of New-York will hesitate long
in deciding to which OF the two men, Mr.. Dis
becker or Gen. Smith. the stigma of using the
arts and tricks of demagogue can be APP
piled more appropriately. Perhaps there will
be little more hesitation in deciding to whose
construction of the offer of Mr. Dlsbecllcrs
support the reader crcdence should he given.

Although the hopes of politicians may not
be fulfilled in all respects by the latest census,
it is evident from the abstract given in another
column that it will exhibit a gratifying in
crease in the population of the state, and
that o more careful enumeration would have
swelled rather than diminished the figures now
given. Our Albany letter presents the totals of
population, compared with those of 1870, in forty
counties and seventeen out OF twenty-four
cities. 1t is thought that the increase Will
justify The advance of the unit of representa-
ton in the Assembly to about $4,000, while
the unit of Senatorial representation may
reach as high as $4,000. In that event New
York will be entitled to seven Senators and
twenty-nine Assemblymen, an increase OF
two Senators and eight Assemblymen over the
present apportionment.

for President, the States of Panama and Mag
dalena, which favor DR.. Nuncz, prepared for
war; The Federal Government promptly sent
troops into the latter State and fighting has
already begun, resulting in heavy losses to

with unconcern in this country if traffic on the

rupted by the continuance of hOstiities.

The last attempted revolt in Peru was more
amusing than alarming. Leading about 60
men, an adventurer named Arevalo captured
the towns of Islay and MOllendO. and then
coolly compelled the railroad officials to con-
vey him and his followers by special train to
Arequipa. Arrived at the outskirts of that i'm
portant city, the deluded band were attacked
and dispersed their leader being fatally
wounded in the encounter. Absurd as many
South American revOts are, this seems to equal
any of them in the extent of its aims and the
insignitcance of its results.

James from this gathering" said Jones: when
one of the boys said that James was in no con-
dtion to sit on hard step, as his parent had
been fondling him with 4 grcenhde, and he
wished to be excused from attending the meet
ing. Finally, Jones made them all little
speech, in which he filled the air with moral
precepts, and law, and fines, and dim Visions
Of the state Reform School, and clearer views
OF the County Jail, and Il fine chrome OF the
Police Court: and finally the meeting broke
up with IA grand bawl, and there was a con-

to respond to the calls, nor could his
breathing be heard through the pipe, and
the impression was that he had at last sue
cumbed to his fate. Soon after, for some
unaccountable reason, the gas-pipe was
left no means of obtaining air except as it
over his head. Hardly had the pipe been
of this city, arrived with forty feet of rub
Der pipe, which no one previously seemed
to have thought of, SO bunglingly had the
whole plan ofrescue been managed. But,
of course, the pipe, which before might
have conveyed nOurishment and drink to
poor Sykes, was now useless. The dig
gers, however, reinforced by men from
this city, continued their work on the Sec
ond well, and by nightfall had reached a
depth where it was deemed safe to start a
tunnel toward the imprisoned man. On
that they are now working, with hardly a
prospect of reaching him before morning,
so slow and careful must be the work,
owing to the dangerous character of the
soil
Poor Sykes was reached shortly after
midnight, thirty-six hours nearly from the
time of his Incarceration, by the men at
work tunneling toward him from the sec
ond well; but he gave no sign of life, and
undoubtedly is dead. 1t will be some
hours yet before the timbers and sand
piled around him can be cut away suf-
ficieutly to allow his body to be removed.
Sykes is about sixty years old and is
well known in this city.-Sprtnafeld
