LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE NEW POLICE MANAGEMENT.

duty, urging them to be diligent, considerable,
fearless, and always courteous in their ac-
lions. He referred them especially to Sec
ton of the rules and regulations established
by him eight years ago, when he first became
Chief of Police.
1t reads as follows: Members of the
department must be civil and respectful to
the public, and upon all occasions perform
their dutieg with good temper, discretion and
firmness. Forbearance under provocatlon.

insure policeman support in the discharge
of his duty, while violent and excited man.
ner or indiscreet alteration will destroy his
individual influence, and may draw down
public odium on the whole department.
Every policeman must recollect that In max
ing an arrest he is not justlhed IN using
more force than is actually necessary for
the safe custody of the parties until he con-
veys them to the station house. 1t Is the
duty of a policeman to keep prisoners safely.
but he has no right to punish them, and
must not use language calculated to offend
or provoke them. A policeman must be eau
tious never to interfere unnecessarily, but
when required to act should do so with dis
erection and boldness, and may arrest any one
who opposes him in the discharge OF his
duty
He also called attention to Section 8, which
reads Each and every officer and Captain
shall report to the Chief in writing each and
every fact and circumstance and information
of which they may become possessed in any
manner whatever, which might reflect dis
credit on the department or any member OF
it.. All members of the department are pro-
hibited from making assertions or using lam
guage tending to the discredit or rejecting on
the integrity of police officers, until the facts
have been reported in writing to the Chief
and action taken thereon by the Commission
ers. An indulgence in the practice of
scandal and the repetition OF rumOrs at
fecting the character OF another OH
Ger tends to lower the department
in public estimation, and to create and foster
ill-feeling and animosity among the men, and
as it tends directly to subvert good discipline,
will render the offending party liable to dis
missal All reports made IN obedience to
this order must be delivered personally to the
Chief"
The hours OF the day and the night and
dav watch will remain as heretofore estab-
Gshed. -Four regular officers will be on street
duty in the day and four at night, chang
ing each week, so that officers may do
both day and night duty alternately. The
respective beats will remain the same as IN
the past. The following detail has been made
essary:
Beat NORTH of the alley between J and
K streets. and west of Sixth street-Frank
Rider and J. NJ. Woods.
Beat 2-South of the same alley and west
of Sixth r. f. Frazee and o. c. Jackson.
Beat 3-North of the alley and east Of
Sixth street,. j. Carroll and Frank Smith;
Beat South of the alley and east Of
Sixth street.
Tim Lee will be Bailiff of the Police Court,
Walter B. Ferral day keeper of the prison,
and Frank Fredericks keeper at night.
Some of the discontinued officers still for
mally report for duty, though notified that in
the future no duty can be assigned to them.
They reassert their intention of carrying the
matter of their discontinuance into the Courts
for decision.
Chief Karcher has issued an order that the
Bailiff of the Court, when in Court or at the
depot, and also the keepers of the prison
shall wear their stars exposed, so that any
one in search of an officer easily recog-
nize them.

THE GROWTH OF VEGETATIoN.- re.
cent warm rains have sent the life-huid into
the branches of trees, and they are now
striving to make up lost time, and with o
fair prospect of success, though they are
nearly a month behind. Apple and peal
trees are white with blossoms, rosebuds are
forming, and refreshing fragrance of flower;
can be detected in the atmosphere. A few
more warm, sunshiny days will be sufficient
to cause the thousands of Sacramento gar
dens to show the colors of their many beau
tiful and varigated flowers.

numerous in the city now, and are busily en-
gagged in building nests and chasing the
winged insects of the atmosphere. The IN
