ON CAPT. WILLIAMS AcoUITTAL.
There appears to be great indignation
because the charges against Capt Williams
were dismissed yesterday. The Tribune to-
day says the public will be at loss to un-
derstand why Commissioners Erhardt and
Wheeler dismissed by their votes the
charges against Williams. Certainly the
evidence was conclusive upon the points
claimed. But such action as this on the
part of the Commissioners, taken in def
ance of the facts, and for some motive not
allowed to appear, the Commissioners vr
out provocation, and to tolerate gambling
houses, is not conduct unbecoming all Off
Ger.
