POLICE APPOINTMENTS.

The following applicants have been appointed
as supernumeraries on the police force on the
recommendation OF the chief oil police:
Second Precinct-Denis Burns, G. T. Thomp-
son.
II fth Preoinct--Jules Magnon, Tbos Hanlon.
Sixth PreciDct--George Jenkins. L. U. Gaiennie,
Bartholomew Scaulan, j. q. wilson.
Harbor-J. E. sage.
A reospitulation of
THE POLICE FORCE
shows that the aggregate OF the persons EN-.
poyed in that department, exclusive OF the re-
cordess courts officers, 10 4S. divided ~ follows
One chief OF police, four alds, three captains IT.
teen eergeants, twenty.one corporals, 395 pasrol-
men, four clerks, twenty clerks aud operators,
eleven doormsn, one property clerk, four en-
pioyes In the telegraph department., and two sur
geons.
While on this subject we may az we'll report
the rumor that is atiuat concerning appoint ments
on the police. As we have said several times,
Mayor Pllsbury has transferred to the chief OF
police the power to
SELECT ALL THE sUPERNUMEHARIEs
on the force, subject, however, to confirmation by
the Mayor. This app intment Of supernumera-
ries Ia equivalent 20 the appointments Of patrol
men, for these, according to established ruler have
TO be selected from among the supernumeraries.
The Mayor bases his adoption Of this course on
his view Of the necessity of placing the RESPONSE
bity on the chief OF police for the character Of
the men employed, the principal condition being,
however, that the chief shall make his selections
from among the men who served from the 9th of
January until the reorganiz ation of the force,
when the limitation OF the Legislative allowance
for the maintenance Of the police kept out many
deserving men.
Now, in certain circles 1t is admitted that while
the men of the 9th of January should have the
preference In appointments to vacancies on the
force ii does not follow that the chief OF police
should be invested with what is claimed to be
THE EXTRAORDINARY POWERS
vested In him BY the Mayor. and, without casting
any reflection upon our present chief Of police
that 10 give such power to the executive officer
Of the farce is to establish q precedent which
might become very dangerous In the hands OF
willy or interruptions person; that hence, of the
two evils viewed from the light of "patronage")
Il would be better that the selections should be
made by tho City Administrators themselves,
who, belonging they do to different sections Of
the city, are besides apt to be better acquainted
with the personal qualifications of the applicants
Tor positions ON the police. We said, at the be-
ginning OF this reference to the subject, that the
facts lated were rumored. We apprehend that
there is more than rumor in the matter, and that
an issue may be expected at an early day.

We are glad to see that the New Orleans CITY
Railroad Company are manlfesting commend
able spirit OF enterprise, among other things to-
wards remedying the disasters caused BY the
recent eqninoctial storm. To-day several OF the
officers OF the company propose, In company with
Surveyor 'Hemecourt, to visit Milneburg, and ex.
anime the double-close piliDg (seasoned cypress)
supEen around the pleasure boat pen about forty
years ago. As we have said before, this close
piiing was laid by one Of our old citizens at the
time, who was not even civil engineer, but sim
ply man OF practical common sense; the space
between the double line of piling was filed in
with willow fascines and ballast and to this dav
they offer . barrier to the waters OF the lake
which has never been overcome even during The
heaviest storm. II isproposed by the City Rail-
road Company, In conjunction with other inter.

CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE

\
Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DR.. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought TO support the pretensions of any other
medicine. See DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest
spectablity, who have beea restored to health, af-
ter being pronounced incurable by physicians
Of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonit
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences
win show; but the cure is often promoted by the
employment of two other remedies which D..
Schenck provides for the purpose. These addi-
tional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. By the timely of these medi-
cines, according to directions, DIR. Schenck certi
1es that most anV case of Consumption may bt
cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal of
fee, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia
every Monday where all letters for advice must b.
