Herald Correspondence.l
An important feature OF Tuesdays pro
ceedlnes was the arrival OF the Chief Of
Police OF Richmond with a competent
force OF subordnates, wearing their uni
forms and badges. The first and most
notable result Of their presence was the
almost immediate disappearance from the
vicinity 81 the wharycs and streets OF the
shameless and disgraceful displays OF petty
gambling and swindling games OF every de-
scriytion. Some few arrests OF these game
sters were made by the police, but they
were soon after released upon 4 promise
that they would leave the town in hall an
hour. II is very doubtful whether the par
tics will observe their part OF the compact
but they viii steer clear OF the "cops y
with the uniforms and keep sharp eye out
for such detectives as may be on the ground
one OF the light-tngcred gentry eoniiden
tiaIly remarked to-day that he knew
every detective in the country thai
amounted to anything, and that be
consequently felt perfectly secure In hi
operations. Quite L number OF pockets
have been picked, but no large amounts
have been lost. The previous absence o
police here has an explanation in the lac
that they were only engaged by the Ma
iional Commission for the days set forth II
a., I.,,,o,-,,oant n-o0ramme For the pre-
cedlng days the thieves had, therefore
specisl license to do as they choose, an'
enjoyed immunity from all punishment
