Quite as a matter OF course, the Disgrace
full act of compromising a felony has been
committed by the jeweler OF whose robbery
toll yon in my last. Police Commissioner
General Jourdan of Brooklyn had made
example of the officers to whose negligence
the success Of the burglars was due, and
dismissed them all eleven of them, includ-
ing two sergeants and two roundsmen. Ne
gotationS were opencd by the thieves with
the iewclicr, who, after much haggling,
agreed to 1vc S2l00 for the rrttIn Of the
property stolen. The proverhi,l honor
among thieves was wanting in this instance,
of II round 800.
Elison's and other electric lights are again
coming to the from; i'll a busy sort of Il way,
one of the strong points urged in their favor
being that their general use will tend to dis
courage burglary. Another ingenious per
son has suggested that instead Of lighting
the streets we should light up thu policemen,
by painting them all over with the new il
Illuminating paint which is becoming so much
used Tor nocturnal clock dials, miners lamps,
etc. lie says there might then be some
chance of occasionally finding Il Policeman
visible on his beat The fact Is. oar blue
coated guardians have 50 long indulgcd in
the Injuries Of ''cubby holes" and free drinks
that they are provcrbially sever in the way
when the &c wanted. though they are often
oiliCious enough when they are not.
The street cleaning fight still RACES, and
people are dying with alarming frequency
from Zvmotic diseases but another cause of
disguietude has been iound out in the abom-
Unable i!avor Of the Croton water which,
so those say who have tasted it, is
evidently due 10 the presence of mvrlads of
decomposed fish, 1t has an ancient and fish
like SMELL like many other Gothamile official
and deficient institutions.
The National Guard is getting dGm0ralized
because some Jack in-OIlce up at Albany
has been carwi.t9ing the Governor and getting
him to recommend ridiculous code which
carefully provides large salaries for certain
staff officers, for the reduction aud disband-
ment Of numerous troops and laitalions and
then Celebrates n multitude of absurd provis-
| ions which will knock the Militia, of which
We have had good reason to be proud, higher
han IL kite. Rifle practice, in which we led
'' 'n' lIi;i,
are attacked with unsparing hand. Emmcns
| Clark, and number of other representative
officers have gone to Albany to protest, and
their commands, one and all are as Colonel
! Clark expresses it, red hot.
