tendance outside, in immediate vicinity,

The weekly report of Chief Ziegler, ,tseca-
pitulating the business of the Department,
was received and filed
Mr.. Hogan at this point arose to a ques-
ton of privilege. His grievance was an al
legged interview between a reporter of the
Volks Zeitung and Chief Ziegler in which
the latter calls Hogan declared hater of
the Germans.
Colonel Ziegler denied the interview, and
this settled the complaint.
Mr.. Hogan offered the following which
was adopted:
"Whereas, The Legislature of the State
of Ohio has passed an act by which provis-
ion is made for the care and maintenance
Of the City Infrmary by the Board and
Whereas, This Board is by said act en-
powered to assume the duties heretofore in
vested in the Board of Directors of said In
tirmary; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Police Com
missioners now assume charge of the said
Infrmary as provided.
Resolved, That this Board meet at the
office of the Infrmary on Tuesday, May
21st, at 2 Q clock p. M, to carry out the re-
quirements of the said act"
On motion of Mr.. Hogan, it was resolved
that the Board proceed, as soon as practical
BILE, to the reorganization of the different
bureaus under its control, and in accordance
with the laws made and provided.
On motion, the time ip which Inspector
Wappenstein is to be on duty was fixed
from 8 10 a. IN. to II midnight. This is con-
sidered wise provision, as Captain Wap-
penstein can be Of more service to the city
in bringing thieves and burglars to justice
than he would be in patroling the city at
night, duty that can be performed by any
Lieutenant or Sergeant
On motion Of Mr.. Hogan, a resolution was
adopted for the reorganization of the whole
Police Department. Mr.. Weber, however,
voted against this measure, saying that he
thought the force was in good shape now,
and did not need any reorganization

A GERMAN woman with stentorian voice
was making it hot for the Post-otfice folks
yesterday. She had presented a money
order payable to her husband, who is some
time dead, and payment was refused unless
the deceased gentlemans signature could
be procured. The utter impracticability
and absurdity of this put the woman's stem

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Committee
on the Judiciary reported back the bill to
admit women to practice in the United
States Court, with resolution declaring
that as there was no law prohibiting the ad-

port, was placed on the calendar.
Bills were introduced: To regulate i'm
migration; to amend the customs revenue
laws and prohibit moieties.
The motion that the Senate insist upon
the amendments to the Indian and to the
Pension Appropriation Bills was agreed to.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-I see there is q great effort being
made by editors of the socalled Democratic party to
indnce Greenbaek men to unite with them in exating
some worshpper of the Golen Calf to the Presidency
and think it well to enter now protest lest some
Kansas Greenbacker should be caught in this "POli

The Democracy did well in remonetzing the dollar

nothing The rag baby Is still suffering and perishng

dricks &c. have donned their warpaint, is custom

DEMAGoGERY.-For the clean strained essence
of low-down demagogery, commend us to the
Troy Bulletin. That sheet never appeals to rea-
son, but invariably grabs for the lowest in
stincts and selfish prejudices as a lever to work
with. Its last exploit in this line, is the asser-
tion that the herd law is to he enforced for the
benefit Of the Railroad Companies and against
the interests of the poor people of the County.
1t knows that, to say Railroad Company, has
the same effect upon the average min d of a GER

aud they shut their eyes, and bulge in he ad fore
most. The editor of the Bulletin has his pockets
full of railroad passes, and there is scarcely a
day but he avails himself Of favors at the hands
of Railroad Companies; but he is too pure mind
ed to be influenced in his actious by such base
means. However, the favors he receives, do not
restrain him from bowling against the railroads,
and exciting groundless prejudice against them.

larity. What interest have Mr.. Deckard and
Mr.. Long in any railroad, that they should en-.

a LIE STUCK To.-The Oskaloosa Independent
still sticks to its lie against Col. Ingersoll 1t
calls the Chiefs denial of the lie, slang, and
proves its position by copying an article from
the Central Christian Adroeaie. The .4drocate's
Misrepresentation aud garbed extracts are no
more trustworthy than the Independents. 1t
would seem that the cause of Christianity should
not impel its adherents to lie upon and slander
every man who does not possess the same amount
of faith that they do; but it is the course that
is usually pursued, They slander them, living
and dead, slaniler their families and dig up their
bones to revile and spit upon them.
We make these assertions, and defy the Inde
psadeRt to coutrovert Them not by false state
ments from prejudlced parties, but by the words,
acts, aud documents in the case: That Col. Inger-
soil has never countenanced obscene literature
nor done aught, directly or indirectly, to aid or
encourage its circulation. That the petitions
were not presented because the law prohibits
the circulation of obscene literature, but be-
cause, under q covert clause of the law, men
were being prosecuted and imprisoned for pub
fishing their views on subjects connected with
religion. That no man who is laboring for the
amendment of that law, would object to it if it
only prohibited the circulation of obscene liter
ature. The very language quoted from the I'D.
rocate, goes to prove this. 1t says, distinctly,
that the law is being used for the purpose of
moral and religious persecution, and asks that
it be repealed and modified SO that it can
not be used to abridge the freedom of the press
or of conscience. Does the IsdepenGenf suppose
that they hold the circulation of obscene litera-
ture, by which their own families would be cor
rupted, matter of conscience or freedom of the
pressi Suppose the editor of the Iadependent
take the trouble to get the full text of the Pc
titions, the exact reading of the obnoxious law,
and statement from ingersoll himself as to
what his object is in laboring for the modiica-
tion of the law, instead of taking the misrepre-
sensatious of some pious bigot, who can serve the
holy cause in which he is engaged only by per-
version and misrepresentation. But we know
the editor of the Indepeadent will not 60 to this
trouble He has been engaged in the work of
grace too long, to backslide now by seeking to
do justice to an Infidel.

STRATEGY, My BOY.-The appointment of F.
p. Baker as Commissioner to the Paris Exposi-
tion, does credit to his sublimty of cheek, but if
reports are correct, is not very creditable to q
man of Alfred Grays standing. This is the story
that is told-we know nothing Of the facts, but
it has already been published over the proper
signature of . citizen of the State: Alfred GRAY
was appointed Government Commissioner, on ac-
count of his eminent fitness. +. P. Baker vas
appointed honorary Commissioner by the Gov
ernor of Kansas. 1t was decided, some time
ago, that Mr.. Gray could go, on account of the
state Of his health but he kept this private,
until the ropes were laid. Baker went on to
Washington, where he bummed around, fortified
by certain influences, until the time arri we'd for
the Government Commissioners to pack their
kits for the voyage, when suddenly Gray's res
ignation was sent in, and on the spur of the mo-
meut, Baker was yanked in. Now, if Gray could
not 60, he should have said so, at once Baker
is not the man for the place, aud has done moth
ing to entitle him to it. Kansas has men who
deserved it, and who would have filed the posi-
tion creditably.

q Every time the Grand Jury of the United
States Court for Kansas meets, the Kansas City
Times correspondent reports rumors of dreadful |
indictments that are being ground out against
Kansas politicians. To read the Times, one would
be led to believe that every Republican politi-
clan in Kansas was liable to be indicted for a
penitentiary offence. But when the Grand Ju-
ries emerge from their dens, they invariably fail
to bring these indictments along. If being Re-
publican were an indictable offense, the Times
would be happy.
