NEGOTIATIONS FOR sETrLEMENT-PRoBArE BASIS.
An important conference Of railroad msgnates
WAS held at Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, last
night Colonel Thomas A. Scott, President Mr..
Green, Assistant President, and A. J. CassAtt,
Second Vice President of the Pennsylvania
Central, and John King, Jr., Vice President Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Rai'road. were present.
The proceedings were secret, but a special tele-
gram to the Baltimore Anei sca7 says the proba-
Bile basis of the arrangement will be
the giving back by the Pennsylvania Rail
road to the Baltimore and Ohio the terminal
and road facilities enjoyed prior to the railroad
war, and the re-estabHshment Of summer freight
tariffs such as prevailed last year, and it is also
probable that passenger rates will be fixed on
the Saratoga basis,

THE POLICE AND OTHER SCANDALS.

The scandal now attaching to the police in
consequence OF Officer O'Neills conduct, is not
tho only one, and it has been, perhaps, an ill
uiged clemoncy which has permitted the others
IN pass without severe comment. The reckless
shooting in the streets, by which Ssllie Doyle
WAS killed, had been preceded by other equally
cupable acts, and these with the present stua-
ton of the State in reference to her representa-
ton in the Criminal Courts, snirch the good re-
pute of our community, damage the fame of the
commonwealth, sacrifice tho public interests,
and arc such shame and reproach upon the
Democratic Party which is responsible for them,
that they should blister that organization, and
will do So if its skin is not too callous for blis-
terng process
Mayor Simms and his party must be held re-
sponsibe for forcing upon the community the
three police officers to whom the Council. in
1872 objected. One of the three was Officer
O'Neill, second is still ON the force, and the
third was dismissed after repeated acts Of de-
liuauency. Two of them, at least, ought never
TO have been appointed, and the Council, exer-
clsing its Just discretion, would not approve
them, when, taking the course so often employ
cd to override the will of the people Of Will
mingtODi tne Lebisihturo 'fpeuWu Htut ctuuse "
tie Ciy Charter, by which Council passed upon
the Mayors nominations, and thus gave into the
hands OF that officer, what other Mayors had not
been granted, the exclusive power of appointing
police. In such manner, the Legislature ever
too ready to use the high authority of the State
for petty interference in our city affairs, over
rode the resistance of the Council, and put upon
the people as protectors men whose protection
las proved to be fatal
The reckless use OF the police revolver il not
new, though we are now suddenly brought to a
keen sense OF tho outrage The scenes OF last
Falls election CANVASS. especially the firing into
a crowd of inoffensive colored men at 4th and
Orange streets, by which one of them was
wounded in the hand, will be easily remem-
bored. No one was then killed now, these
reckless bullets have found a vital object bpt
they were as wrong, as unlawful, then as now.
Add to these circumstances, the failure Of the
police to enforce the license laws Add to them
the lisgraceful Sunday riot in the don at Hedge
VILE when Officer Nickerson was shot. Add to
them other scandals, known though not pub
shed, and it is to be confessed that the Mayor
has good reason for apprehension concerning his
administration. But what then Suppose all
hls officers had been vigilant, faithful, and ener-
getic What follows when Offenders come into
the courts The poor and the friendless will be
convicted doubtless, but what AZ to others

graced Nh she now stands in the respect OF her
public prosecutors. How much longer il 1t to

Esq, provided an abundance of refresh
ments Hills, vales and creek were
thoroughly explored by the young ones, while
the old ladies' sat around with thoughts busy Of
the days when they too were young. The only
ripple Of excitement which occurred during the
day was caused by little boy falling into the
creek where the water was between two and
three feet deep, and would have drowned had
not help been at hand. Mrs. Dos Santos being
at hand and seeing tho little fellow fall in, did
not throw up her hands, scream, and run away,
but regardless of everything but the little boys
safety, plunged into the creek and seizing the
drowning boy held his head out Of the water,
until help arrived and both were rescued from
their perilous situation.
