TIE GAMBLERS AND THE POLICE.


There is reason to bslieve that the proyis-
ion Of the City Charter relatiye to the arrest
OF the gamblers and the destruction Of
gaming supplements is serious embarrass-
ment to tho energetic raiding Of the gambling
hel1s by the police, even if We had police
force desirous Of breaking them up, which
unfortunately is not the case. Sec. 90 Of the
Police Department Of the City Charter re-
quires that "Two or more householders
dwelling within the city, and not belonging to
the police force, shall make oath in writing
before any one Of the Commissioners Of Po-
lice that the premises complained
Of by the Superintendent are commonly re-
ported and are believed by the deponents to
be kept as & common gatning-house or cock
pitt" before it is lawful to order raid and
the breaking in Of the doors. There
arc ordinances authorizing raids with
out this restriction; but, rs the Or
dinances are subordinate to the char
ter provisions, Nc practical raiding can
be done without the afidayits as above Of
cannot be obtained. They might be pro-
cured once or twice, but it would be excep-
tional. Practically, therefore, it is not posi-
Bile for the police under this section to break
up gambling by raiding it SO lohg as the above
restriction exists. It is only fair to Superin-
tendent REH. to state that he claims he is
prevented by this provision from making
persistent raids npon the gamblers and de-
stroying their implements. WAsHDunS did it
when he wss Superintendent Of Police, but
he had no rea1 estate in Chicago which the
gamblers could levy upon in execution Of
Judgment obtained against him on account Of
theneg1ect to secure the afGdavits of the house.
holders but REIN says that he is not SINH
larly situated, and does not care to take the
risk.
It becomes the duty Of the Legislature, in
view Of these facts, to repeal that section Of
the City Charter which makes this absurd re-
striction. They should then pnss general
law, to apply to all the cities in the State,
which shall require the police to make month
~ or weekly reports to the Superintendent Of
Police Of gaming houses opened or existing
within their precincts, end making it the duty
of the Superintendent Of Police to swear out
u warrant against the gamblers so reported,
and proceed to arrest them, destroy their i'm
plements and tables, and break up their dens.
The law should also render the Superintend-
ent Of Police subject to indictment upon
the failure to swecr out the warrants and raid
the gamblers, as provided above. This mat
ter is of vital importance to the City of Chi
cago, and Of corresponding importance to all
other cities in tho State, in proportion to
their size It would be we'll for the States
Attorney, who is familiar with the impedi-
ments to the conviction Of the gamblers un-
der the City Charter, to construct law Of
this kind that would hold, and intrust it to
some active member Of the Cook County del
cgation to secure its passage.

Sunday Morning, February 7, 1876.

An obscure publication in this city, which
is endeavoring to gain some notoriety by So
Letting controversy with The TRIBUNE
about the expulsion Of the religious orders
from Mexico, is on the wrong track. If it
objects to this sort of procedure it must
criticise the Catholics, Of whom it processes
to be an organ, and not TIE TRIBUNE
We merely chronicled some facts rela-
tive to the expulsion Of religious Or
ders fNbm Mexico, Italy, and other coun-
ties- Now, Mexico and Italy are Catholic
countries if not, We do not know where to
look for them If they saw fit to expel GER
tain religious corporations which had de-
veloped a dangerous greed for wealth, or had
drifted into condition of immortality, or he'd
conceived projects dangerous to the well being
Of the Government, or had in any other way
become obnoxious to the people, we are sure
TIE Tr1BuHK is not to blame for it And, if
the obscure sheet wants to read it's own title
clear, it will sail around the world, call the
various Catholic peoples to rigid account, and
otherwise make itself q power in the Church.
It is wasting its paper pellets on TIE TRIBUNE.

probably be solution Of the problem to this
extent The Democrats of the South would
treat them with at least as much considera-
ton and respect rs the Democratic leaders Of
the North trent their Irish constituency.
They would get some Of the minor Offices
and subordinate plhces, and they would be
treated with much more social consideration
than they can ever hope to receive so long IS
they ere ar7ayed as race in combined polti-
cal hostility against the great mass Of the
Southern whites. They would be mere vot-
ing machines, it is true, but the condition
would have it's compensations for them.
Certainly 1t would be a relief to the Repub-
Gcan party Of the North to have the fenrful
responsibility Of maintaining peace in the
South thus shifted from its shoulders to that
of its opponents. Another good that woull
flow from this fusion Of the black with tho
white race would be that it would Iced in
short time to division Of the whites into
two political parties, just as they are
divided in the North. Each Of these white
factionsvould electioneer for the co1ored vote,
Just as the native Democratic and Republican
politicians electioneer for the foreign vote,
and the blacks would be petted, hattered,
protected, and defended in their civil and po. .
itical rights by both Of the white parties.
But the hope is that the Civl-Rights bill
will release the blacks from the constrnirt Of
either joining the Democrats OF adopting the
policy OF revenge. We cannot, however, b4
too sanguine in this matter. We must re-
member that, after the 4th of March, the Ad
ninistration will be under very pronounced
restraint by Democratic Congress. Though
the Federal Courts and the machinery Of the
Executive will still be in the hands
of the Republican party to enforce
the provisions Of the Civu-Rights law,
the House Of Representatives, which holds
the purse, can seriously impede its op-
eration with the exclusive control Of appro-
priations. We would not, therefore, have
the blacks place too much faith in the virtue
Of the Civl-Rights bill as q panacea for all
their ills. Indeed, it is not well that they
should rely upon legislation exclusively for
recognition Of their social Claims Their
own actions will, in spite Of all legis-
lation, have moro influence over their
relations with the whites and with each
other than everything else. To the extent
that these relations are ruthlessly invaded by
the whites, so that the civic privileges Of the
colored people are abridged, we hope TINT
the new law may be passed and ngid1y En-
forced The purely social distinctions, how
ever, must depend upon the personal conduct
of the blacks themselves and the progress
they are able to make in their departure
from late condition Of servitude and pni-
versal Ignorance. Indeed, the remark of
Judge HoAR in the House, pending the dis
cussion Of the bill, very fairly characterizcs
its probable influence, when he said that 10
did not believe that much good or much ham
would come from it, but that it ought to be
passed as sort of Declaration Of Iudepend-
ence. 1t is in this spirit that the Senate
should take it up in its present shape, and
with its sanction make it law.

it would be u good idea to have a tame goa,
to pull at the coach, and he bought one for
the purpose Tut one day the goat met
another goat that differed from him in pol
tics OF religion, OF something, aud each I'm
drrtook to Convince the other, by jnmmng
him in the skull. Every time Magruder' >

lunge forward, Magruder's baby would
lurch over back ward, and when M,sruder' =

would shake the milk IN the baby's stomach
into butter. And sometimes the other
goat would aim at Magruder's goat, which
would dodge, and then tie other goat would
plunge headtor most into the coach and
smash tue bahy up in the most frightful
manner. And in the midst of the contest
u couple of dogs joined in, and Magruier' :

the gutter. and the dogs, biting around
kind Of generally, would snap ut the goat
and cause 1t to shirl the baby around just
in time for the bite, until ut last the goat
got di,Eeartene1 and sprang through the
fence, leaving the coach on the other side,
and it struggled frautically to escape, while
the other goat crowded up against the baby
in order to avo,d the dogs, and tiu.lI,!
knocked the taby out, and butted the coach
to spiinters. They say the way Mrs. Mag

they brought the baby home mutilated aud

but she didn't speak To him for week, and
he had to soften her down By buying her an

A few years ago, an American lady,
while studying medicine abroad, having

medical lectures in one of the most noted

young man. One day an American consul
~as summoned 70 q hotel to see lady from
