The body was only partially dressed and the gar
ments necessary to make up full suit OF clothing
were the same as those fonnd at the foot OF west

piyen TO j. Campbell. The box had been sent 10
W. Campbell III Canada West. The body and cloth
ing were sent to the Mlrgue. and the body was

THE CASE OF COMMISSIONER NICHOLS.

The writ of certiorri issued by Justice West
brook in the case of the removal of Police Commits
sioner Nichols was served upon Mayor Cooper yes
terday. The Mayor has referred the whole matter
to Corporation Counsel Whitney. who says he has
not decided whether he will appeal from the Decis-
ion ordering the writ to issue, whether he will
wait until after the argument the writ, and then
appeal in case it is decided that the Commissioner
was not legally removed. The return day is fixed
for the first Monday in September. 1t is probable
that an appeal to the General Term of the Supreme
Court will be taken at once on the order for the
issuing of the writ.

DENIS explained his visit to Grant, at the
sand lots on Sunday, and his purpose of
saluting him in the name of the workingmen,
and inviting him to call on the wounded kal-
loch, the saint, martyr and Mayor of San
Francisco. He was also charged with an in
vitation to visit the sand lots; not in effigy,
but in prop'1a persona. There no talk Of
burning, no threats of insult and the ass
threw back the lions skin and displayed his
ears for once. The fault of his refusal of an
interview was generally shifted from Grant to
the shoulders of those around him. who are
charged with the onus of that insult; men
whom the bowld Kearney expects to see in
striped clothes in a short time. He only
called on the workingmen to draw their own
and as gentle as a Summer

THE constant grOwl about the opium dens
is becoming wearisome. There is no town in
the State in hich the whole practice cannot
be broken up by vigilant police. There
are no subterranean retreats as in San Fam
cisco; no secret back entrances, leading to
dens a block away, and no possible secret APP
prOach to any of our Chinese quarters, ana
therefore but little difficulty in tracking both
sellers and white habitues That the demoral
izing habit exists under our very nose does
not argue eloquently for the vigilance Of
men employed to suppress such vices There
is always ditfiulty in procuring conviction
when the bronze rascas are arrested, but
there should be no difficulty in breaking up
the traffic. Unfortunately there are towns
in Nevada where officers would starve only
for Chinese coin, and where arrests are made
now and then as ID blind. We have no idea
that such is the case in Carson, but We have
an idea that the evil could be readily abated
The board cabins of Chinatown, are too open
to public gaze to afford any protection to
crime, and the population too small to allow
habitnes of the quarters to escape observa-
ton. In almost any other case, officers
would feel insulted at the bare intination
that their sagacity could not ferret it out
but the Chinese iniquity is too much for their
sharp eyes.
