The police Bo.n,rd.

Editors Dispatch: There seems TO be s
universal desire for q change as to tie Po-
lice Board not that the present members
have proved unfaithiul, but that 1t is be-
lieyed that the non-ofice-h holding people
citizens who do not hold Office or aim at it,
should have an influential voice there.
But it strikes me that the proposition to
give to the three city judges the power OF
appointing the commissioners is for the
municipality Of Richmond to relinQuish all
control OF her force: The city can exercise
no power over the Judges. The Legisla-
ture appoints them. They are not respon-
sibIe to us. The Council has nothing to do
with them. It would be a sort of Metro
politan police-law, that might in future
years result in great disadvantage to the
city. 4.at
Judge Guigon sees much Of the police
force, and would know the value OF the
various officers, as Justice White does now.
Judges Wellford and Fitzhugh, however,
officially know little or nothing OF the po-
lice, Of the services rendered, Of the con-.
parative merits OF those asking promotion,
information. Then doubt il it would befn
accord with the judicial Office or the judges
desires to have to give ear to thousands OF
friends pressing the claims Of hundreds OF
place-hunters. fss.g-.es \, /. s,,s.r., S,,
I sympathize with the gentlemen who
want to better our condition, but I desireto
proceed cautiously. Let us first find out
exactly what we want, and then ask the
Legislature to give it to us, and l am sure
they will not refuse.
Let the subject be fully canyassed, says
one who thinks there ought to be some
change, D0L0.

Our esteemed Scotch friend "Baiie"
Baxter was busily engaged yesterday in
getting big steam-boiler a. most potent
addition to his manufacturing enterprises,
thus proving the progressive spirit Of a
true son OF Caledonia. The formidable
rival of horse-flesh stood in the centre OF
Hull street last evening on its way to Mr..
Baxter's place Of work, and its grim appear
ance scared the horses worse than locomo-
tive could have scared citizen OF 1776.
Every horse that passed was either mad,

was that there were some narrow escapes

THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL-GEN-
ERAL JoHNsON's RESPONSE TO Mr.. MAssEy's
REsoLUTIoNs.-Gen Johnson yesterday
wrote letter to Mr.. Massey, chairman OF
the House committee on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal investigation, asking that
the committee proceed without delay. Said
he: "To this end offer your committee
every assistance in my power-my papers,
copies Of records and proceedings, and
such explanations as you desire in every
way. I am satisfied that the better every
honorable man understands what has been
done, how it has been done, and why it has
been so done, the more complete will be the
conviction on his mind that the public in
terests have been fully projected and adj
yanced."
The following letter was sent by General
johnson to the Speaker:
"RICHMoND, January 81, 1877.
ITO the Honorable the Speaacer of the House
Of Delegates:
uThe resolutions offered in the Rous
yesterday, and passed by your honorable
BODY, relating to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, specially designate me as
the only counsel employed by the State in
that business.
"The records of the Board Of Public
Works, the journals and proceedings of the
Senate and House OF Delegates, and COM
mon notoriety for ten years, have made
everybody know that several counsel were
employed in that matter, of whom was
only one. The reason, therefore, why my
name should have been specially designated
by the resolutions does not appear on their
face. But this designation gives me the
right respectfully to urge your honorable
body to see that full and exhaustive ex-
anation be made OF this whole matter, and
that final action be had on it as speedily as
possible.
.sThe gentlemen employed as counsel for
the State believe and claim that they have
performed great public service, and are
entitled to the concentrations OF ali good
people. They are satisfied that the more
the whole business is examined into the
more will this appear and be made plain,
and the more general will be the satls1ac-
tion of the people of the Commonwealth
at the success with which it has been con-
Quoted.
"But they also claim as right that there
be an end of the matter by full, ample, ex-
haustive examination and final action by
the constituted authority. Such examina-
ton and action they believed were made
by committees of the Senate and House
in 1874, who made reports approving and
commencing the action of counsel in the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal business. re-
spectfully ask, therefore, in behalf OF all
the counsel concerned, that this investiga-
ton be so thorough that it may be made q
fnality, and that transactions, now dating
ten years back, may not be liable to be
again brought up for review, when the
memory Of them, and witnesses to them,
are fast passing away.
"I have the honor to be,
"Your obedient servant,
