Ihe utter deprayity Of the New York
Tribune was never better illustrated
than in its attitude toward Mr.. Hen
uricks. 1t has recently pronounced him
the champion dodger Of MS time, and
one OF the most constituencies dema
gogues, as all the world knows :" and
as one =" whose friendship with leaders
OF secret disloyal leagues made him
odious during the war"
Now let us see how plain tale shall
ret THIS mendacious and malignant sheet

Whitelaw Reid, who controls its
utterances now. In the time of Horace
Greeley's candidacy he was the TriJun,,,

filled with all variety of begging cir
culars from his home state com.
mittee, the national committee, con.

several secret organizations that exist
simply for the evasion of the civil service
laws that prohibit the assessment of

MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST a, lss4.
New York Detectives.


In New York city the singular specta
Gle is presented of the police detectiv
force assailing the district attorney an,
his assistants as the protectors Of thieves
Inspector Byrnes, the chief of the detec
tive service, makes so-called report {,
the police commissioners, which occupies
several newspaper columns and is devoted
entirely to denunciation of the district
attorney and his assistants, and makes
against them the most positively worded
charges OF infldelity to their duties. Ii
is to be noted that the occasion of
this outburst is the allegation which
IS said to have come from the
district attorneys Office that the
detective force has long been in
collusion with and protectors of the
thieves who pay for their friendship.
Inspector Byrnes' counter charge has,
therefore. the ring OF the "you're
another" which falls so easily from the
lips OF men when they are accused of
wrong doing. We have to say of In
spectOr Byrnes' charges that as a defense
of his force they have no other force
than this Of accusing his accusers. Be
yond his bare asseveration of the purity
Of thesNtective force he does not go in
his proof of 1t. And Furthermore, the
veEomous style of his attack on the
district attorneys Office is such rs
tc inspire the suspicion that it is
inspired by raucor rather than 10y
duty. The district attorney has not
as yet arraigned the detective force. The
public report against 1t is founded upon
the fact that the woman Mandel- |
baum, admitted by Inspector Brynes to |
be notorious receiver of stolen goods, |
was detected and arrested by the private |
detective force of Pinkerton, employed |
by the district attorney, and not by the
police force. The deduction, of course,
was that the police detectives did not
enjoy the confidence of the district
attorney which was so clear deduc-
tion that Inspector Byrnes regarded it
as a glove thrown down, though no other
declaration was made against his force
As the matter, now stands, with the
police detectives side of the case only
stated, it seems fair conclusion that they
should be condemned. For the prOmi.
nent fact stands out that notorious
receiver Of stolen goods for twenty-five
years was not brought to judgment ]
by Inspector Byrnes' force, and has
finally been Gagged by the district at.
torney.
There is no escaping the conClu.
sion that Inspector Byrnes' force is
worthless if 1t is not corrupt and its |
worthlessness is the question of par
ticular moment to the public. Whether
they are fools or knayes they should 60
and II their countenances at all resemble
the portraits of them presented by the
New York World, We need no other
evidence to show them to be knaycs.
They are of the rogue gallery style in |
every lineament.
