general forgiveness and amnesty thrown over
the whole affair.
All this may be pleasant pastime and AMIGA
BILE (?) playfulness among the members of the
police force, but the people who pay for the
services of these men have right to know
why such things are allowed to 60 on. How
is it, in the first place. that captains of the
different precincts SO often are heard Of
spending a pleasant evening in other pre-
c.ncts than their own, and INDUCING In
Gaming fiolics and pistol practicing in locali-
ties where it is their special province to pre-
serve the peace and enforce that dignity and
respect due to the laws Of the State? We
can never expect to have thorough system
Of police so long as private quarrels of so
serious nature exist between the members
of that body who are denominated the con-
servators of the peace If the board can not
SO control and supervise the conduct OF the
members of the force, either they are incom-
petent, or the police are beyond control.
In the che case the board should be re-
placed by one more able; in the other, it
should report to the Executive Of the State
the character of the men who are SO difficult
to control, and have them dismissed. Il is
serious reflection upon the chief officer and
his aids, when they cannot keep themselves
under control. How are they to manage
and work effectively large force Of men if
they themselves set the example of turmoil
and dissension !? What unity of purpose or
action can be expected from q body Of men
whose leaders are so often engaged in serious
brawls in public places What respect can it
be supposed privates will have for officers
who, upon the least occasion, evidence their
incapacity to keep in check their own violent
tempers?
One Of the city papers, commenting upon
the occurrence Of Monday night, says that as
that day was payday, it is probable that some
of the officers chad been INDUCING some
what overmuch in liquor" There's spec
tacle for the tax-paying citizens Of Nav Or
leans The commanders Of the different sub
divisions of the police celebrating the advent
Of pay day by "indulging somewhat overmuch
in liquor" and attacking other officers in
public bar-room on one Of the principal thor
oughfares of the city.

THE POLICE FORCE.

1t has long been just complaint on the
part of the citizens of New Orleans that they
have been maintaining at an enormous ex-
pense an inefficient and useless police force.
The metropolitan poles have for years been
looked upon more in the light of militia than
as guardians of the peace and dignity OF the
city. The most daring and vicious MUIR
ders and robberies have taken place
almost under the very eyes of the police, and
yet no arrests have been made, or, If made,
have, by q singular combination of circum-
stances, been impossible to enforce, owing to
the fact that no evidence could be found.
One Of the most potent causes of the inef-
ficiency Of our police has of late been de-
veloped in the fact that there has been con-
tinuous and determined dissension in the
ranks of the force, which has involved
many of the members iu personal
ficulties with each other. few months
ago q most disgraceful row occurred in .
Royal street beer saloon, in which two police
captains and several privates of the force
were engaged. Clubs were lifted and pistols
fred. Although none Of the actual partici-
pants were injured, An innocent third party
received quite a serious wound from shot
fred by one Of these belligerent peelers
Although the matter was brought to the At
tention of the Police Board, nothing ever
came of it except nominal and fimsy excuse
for punishment Only week or SO past An
ex-detective Was shot and killed, tits generally
believed, by another detective, for the reason
that one had employed assassins to kill the
othef. And now, to cap the climax. and fast
upon the heels Of the two aforementioned
occurrences. we hear Of another blr-room
row, in which not only three police captains
and . detective a-e engaged, but in which
the Superintendent Of Police himself
is . prominent participant. Here again
pistol is fred and q cane used
in bar-room scrimmage between the leaders
Of that force whose duty it is to preserve the
peace and protec. the lives and property OF
citizens. We are told that the Board Of
Metropolitan Police intend investigating the
matter; Of course they do-they Investigated
the sRoyal street bar-room brawl but what
became of it? Did the board mete out to
the offenders such punishment - they do
ssrvsd or which would prevent : recurrence
q suoh disgraesful scenes? Not = u; the

An interesting and important case has just
been decided by the Supreme Court in Mas
saohusetts. A tradesmsn bought . bill of
goods, and in payment offered note Of an in
solvent, known ct the time by the buyer Of
the goods to be insolvent On the trial the
buyer Of the goods alleged that the note was
accepted in payment after full inquiry BY the
sellers, and that the sellers had the Same op.
postunity to find out the responsibility of the
insolvent as he (the buyer) had. The jury
thought differently and gave verdict for the
plaintiff, and this has been sustained by the
Supreme Court in overriding the exceptions
taken, declaring "that it is not necessary
that the false representations should be the
solo cause for which the plaintiffs parted with
their property"

a Rit of Sharp Practice.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore
Gazette relates the following anec.
dote: "Many years ago, when Thad-
deus Stevens was practicing law in
Lancaster, Penn, he was employed to
defend two officers who had been in
dicted for conspiracy, they having
used the funds Of the bank in specu-
lation. All the legal talent of Phila-
delphia and surrounding country
had been engaged to assist in the
prosecution. When the trial was
opened Mr.. Stevens rose and address
ing the court, said, Mf it please your
Honor's presuming that there are
different degrees of guilt attached TO
the prisoners, my clients, I move that
they be tried separately" The Judge
consulted for few moments with his
associates, who conscnting, the mo-
ton was granted and so recorded.
Waiting some time for Mr.. Stevens
to 90 on, the Judge at last becoming
impatient, said impetuously, "Pro-
coed Mr.. Stevens, proceed. We are
waiting for you, SIR" Stevens rose
deliberately, and looking around the
court room for q moment, said, "Did
your Honor ever hear of one man be-
ing tried for conspiracy 2" Then
waving his hand to his clients he
said, "You can 60 home; you can 60
home" The jury was discharged
and the court adjourned. And for
this piece Of legal strategy Thad
Stevens received $1,000. s

A Treatise onsHorses.
From the BOSTON Conrier


A Cambridge youth. old Ryder's
boy, is the author of the following
interesting eiflnsion: Hoses is useful
ter draw hacks and milk wagons an
hearses an a great many other useful
things. They eat hay an oats for
fodder an don't eat up linen busters
an door mats like marsh goat does.
A hoss will kick awful with his hind
feet. Baltic Sours tried ter hitch q
close line round mold car bosses
huff once an the old boss kicked him
soz his folks had ter have funeral
for him. Its fun ter ride on a HOSES
back. Injuns is the best riders in the
world. They skim over perraries an
shoot buffalers an peace commissions
ers. l wish l was a Ninjun. I'd
scalp my school teacher awful quick.
When boss gifts scarf he'll some
times run a thousan miles an smash
thunder out of everything. A bosses
tail is the uscfulest thing in the
world ter keep flies Off ov him. Their
tails is also handy to make fiddle
bows out of. When hoss gets sick
SOC he can't do no more work he is
sent ter Wards bone factory an made
inter toilet soap an ivory an lot of
things. Mean mother Teller throwed
a lot of red pepper inter ole Aliens
HOSES nose one day, while he stood
in front of the fish market. He snort
ed an run an throwed some fish, out
of the wagon clear down Ter Fort
Washington. I'd like ter. own hoss.
