Ek- Governor Tilden has at length
been smoked out of his reserve so far as
to put himself upon record in the matter
Of rebel war claims. He says:
SHOULD l be elected President tho
provisions Of the fourteenth amendment
will, so far as depends on me, be main.
tanned, executed and enforced in perfect
and absolute good faith No rebel debt
will be assumed or paid no claim for the
loss or emancipation of any slave will be
allowed no claim for any loss or damage
incurred by disloyal persons arising from
the late war, whether covered by the
fourteenth amendment or not, will be
recognized or paid. The cotton tax will
not be recognized or refunded. l shall
deem it my duty to veto every bill pro.
viding for the assumption or payment Of
any such debts, loss, damages, claims, or
for the rcfunding of any such tax"

Senator Eldridge has introduced
a bill in the Senate amending the act Of
1870 constituting police officers in in
corporated villages informing officers for
offences committed within the limits Of
such village, and making only such police
officers informing officers as are designated
by the trustees Of such village for that
purpose. This is an improvement upon
the old law. There was very little neC.
essity for adding to the number ofinform-
ing officers as our law stood previous to
1870. The number of grand jurors in
any town is unlimited except by the sense
of propriety of the legal voters in town
meeting assembled on the first Tuesday
In March of each year. These officers have
jurisdiction in the town. The states at
torney, whose jurisdiction extends through
tho county, is usually free with his blanks
to all regularly constituted attornies whose
discretion in criminal prosecutions he rec.
ognizes, and so is practically omnipresent
for business in the county. But the law
making power saw ft to add to the number
of prosecuting officers in incorporated vii.
lagos and after six years of not altog ether
satisfactory trial the feeling that the
necessity for these officers has not been
sufficiently great to compensate for the
evils growing out of the system has takon
such hold upon the public mind as to cali
out this expression of dissatisfaction. 1t
is recognized fact that policemen are
not always persons especially fitted by
nature or training to judge of tho need
Of instituting criminal prosecutions in cases
where there is doubt, and, frequently &C.
tions have been brought when no notice
should have been taken of the matter ex.
cept to hear the complaints, and as quiet.
ly as possible dismiss the case. No one
should have the power given him to in.
utitute criminal proceedings who is not
recognized as possessing sound discretion
in such matters, Besides, the jurisdic-
tion Of police officers is so limited as to
make it inconvenient to employ them.
That Of grand jurors is quito small
enough for the practical workings of the
system. In Middlebury and some other
incorporated villages this agency has fall
en- into disuse, more than for any other
reason perhaps, because 80 many of the
cases brought up, proved unimpOr-
tant or worse and involved costs to the
village. MIR. Eldridge's bill would re.
lieve the law Of its Objectionable features
by placing the matter in the discretion OF a
competent board to determine whether
that power should be given to any one Of
police officers or to designate who should
perform the duties Of the Office. On the
whole it may be desirable to have this
safeguard against the possibility of i'm.
proper selection by the popular vote.
