4NOW OhASoho3 ~A"ASN ~s~t ~~
Respected Sn,-It is with feelings Of no
ordinary kind that now epdeavor to pen
these farewell lines to you. know not how
it should be SO harrassing as it is, excepting
on the basis of the kind reception in COM
mon with the rest of the people on the ship
received from you. the benefits that l
(speaking individually have received from
my attendance at your mission are indeed
very great.
My ship-masss-an indeed every one to
whom have spoken anent the mission SER
vices-all heartily concur with my opinion.
At present have only time to say that l
deeply regret going away before this sociable
comes off, and that shall never forget the
happy, pleasant hours I have spent in your
mission house-hours of spiritual enjoyment
and recreation.
But as this is world of change and of
trials, and as "no man can sever time or
tide" at present, on behalf of myself, the
sail-maker, (M. Alfred, and all the seamen,
send you their best respects and well wishes.
l will write you myself from Liverpool. In
the meantime, i beg to remain,
Yours, very truly, VIM. TENANT.

In ORDER to be not conformed to tie

newing of our minds.

Policemen are generally pugnaciousr
aggressive men who are not afraid t.
fight. These are necessary qualiica-
tions. They are apt, however, to
Lad to excuses if there be not a
properly adjusted regulator in the
way of Board of Police Commits
sionsrs an upright Chief to repor,
and prosecute and sssolute Board
Of Aldermen At the back Of all. 1t
Il IN uncomfortable reflection for y
taxpayer to consider that he Is ON any
dark night liable to arrest and nal-
treatment at the hands of starred
preserver Of the peace on account,
perhaps, Of personal spleen, Of thick
cesded mistaken identity, Of obtru-
sive official interference, or, worst of
all, Of official intaxicst;on. The other
day we had An example Of high
banded proceeding in the arrest of a
woman without = warrant, and her
incarceration for several days without
the case being brought to the notice
Of the Police Judge or the Prosscut-
ARg Attorney. The woman's cell
door vas opened one morning aud
she was told to 60, and that was the
end of it. The policeman constituted
himself in this case the law, the
court the jury and the counsel-all
the elements Of fair trial granted
under the constitution. One natur-
ally wonders if he Was ever familiar
with the maxim: 1t is better that
ninety mine Of the guilty escape than
that one Of the innocent be punished.
He should have been dismissed from
the service u oace. There are plenty
Of good, honorable and brave 1aen
endowed with common sense
which the average policeman seems
sorely to need-who could he found
readily to fill his place. This arbi-
.trsry and despotic treatment Of
xoman by man unfortunately en-
dowed with authority over his fell
lows, Was not long allowed to stand
alone. Captain 10y, whose rank
would seem to imply At least CON-
poE humanity to his prisoners, toes
the mark and says, in all the vulgar
ism Of the street. that he 'just hit
him one for luck" He hauled . man
ost of bed where he was sleeping off
harmless drunk and dragged him to
the pestiferous prison. Because the
citizen would not sit down obedi-
entity when, where and how his CAP
tor told him, he was dubbed on the
head. There is one consolation that
the stricken people of the Comstock
city have left in this trying situation.
They can constitute themselves q
great body of police under some i'm
pressive name such as COL and pro-
tect themselves against the police
men. The citizens should feel thank
full that they have At least one paper
fearless enough to speak out against
the evil.

came back u the superintendent OF

working up the case, which he Va
riau, was likewise instructed to in
vessigate. A watch was accordingly
kent mon Norton and Kenyon. At
the game time . strict search vas
made TO ascertain IL there had been
corpus dilecti in the mint. The re-
cult Of the shadowing of Norton ana
Kenyon amounted to nothing. An
investigation into the affairs OF the
mint showed no defalcation. The
mint examination showed this ana
nothing mores Mr.. Stevens, the as
sistant meter and refiner, had, some
time since, become engaged in
prospecting venture. His partner
by the name Of Somes, brought IN
bar Of base bullion to Mr.. Stevens,
II was submitted to Mir. Writ Hop

pronounced 1t to be below the stan
dsrd limit afaxed by Congress for
minis to work. Accordingly. this
base bullion WAS taken TO Silver
City, where it was assSyed aud re-
fined Its whole value WAS less
than 500. The only man in the mint
owning any interest in this base
bullion Is Mr.. Stevens. Writ Hop
kins, Mr.. Stevens and other mint
officials were duly sworn before the

testimony agreed. So thar Is al

tigated by the United Siates grand

members, aud not a single thing
against the mint was discovered.
