The Goth Section Of this bill conferS
upon the members of this Metropolitan
poIce force, "all the common law anC
| fntutory powers of constables, in every
I bart Of the State" in the execution Of
search warrants, or making arrests under
aulhority issued by magistrates these
searches and arrests to be made by an,
member of this police force. Has Their
been any failure on the part of con
stables, or sheriff., in any portion of tn
State to make arrests when process wa
placed in their hands, or to execut
search warrants, issued by magistrates

fdes and legal means provided unde
thelaw to compel inefficient officers t
perform their duty.
Mr.. Speaker, from what quarter doe

Republican, and from a county that
overwhelmingly Radical. In what loca
res doyOu hear of disturbances, and b
Fhat political party brought about?
answer in Republican localities, an
!. brought about or instigated by Republ
eans. Do you hear of any disturbance
I Democratic counties or Democrat
, Dcallues? | answer, you do not. /
lOu hear of Republicans in Democrat
gOunnes trying to whip out Democrats
answer that you do not, for the simp
e% S9o that in Democratic counties, 4
: suDlcans are treated kindly and justly
therefore they have no grounds for e
Ea8Ing In hostilities with Democrats
aloW OF my own knowledge, instances
sn!cn Republicans were protected

feIuocrats IN Democratic counties. Al
