''washington is a great city," said mer-
chant to THE CRITIC reporter this morning,

that have happened to citizens by being run
over recently, that policeman should, dur
ing the daytime at least, be stationed at corr
ners like Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue, New York avenue and Fifteenth
street, at Ninth and streets, and at other
corners where there is very much travelling,
TO assist people, especially ladies and chill
dren, across the street, and to prevent reckless
people from driving at race'horse speed, as Is
frequently the case"
~ understand policemen are stationed at
Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue and
New York avenue and Fifteenth street," re-
marked the reporter.
"If that is the case, they must be wooden
men. Certainly they are not at all times
visible. BY the way" continued the merchant,

In response TO n request for an expression

bills now pending In tho Senate approprla'

ings, Supervising Architect Bell has written TO
Senator Malone. The letter favors tho pas,
sage OF such bills wherever the growth OF
population and Increase OF business justify
the expenditure, and adds that
1T does not seem TO me that the subject OF
the erection OF public buildings should DO
considered solely from the standpoint as to
whether I'll profitable Investment OF public

TINE CoPIAH INVESTIGATION.
what Senator George OF Mississippi
Says About IL.

CRITIC reporter asked Senator George, OF
Mississippi, this morning, what foundation
there was for the report that the subcommlt-
tee TO investigate the alleged election outrages
at Coplah, Miss, feared personal injury II II
held It's meeting In Copiah, and he replied;
"None at all. am not ut liberty to repeat
q private conversation had with a Senator
who Is member OF the majority OF that COM
mitteo; but can tell YOU that tho committee
apprehended no danger either TO themselves
or TO any ono connected with them. The ma.
tority OF the committee concluded 70 hold It's
meeting In New Orleans at the instance OF
political friends, who made, or endeavored
10 make, them believe that they
could get moro out OF the witnesses
in New Orleans. In other words,
that the witnesses would have less scruple Ia
swearing falsely in New Orleans than they
would in Coplah, not that the committee want
false testimony, but the instigators OF this In
yesiigation do. Nobody knows .better than
those who were instrumental In getting up
this investigation that there was nothing In
the charges. If tho Republicans could once
get 1t out OF their heads that the
colored people were afraid OF tho white people
in the South and were afraid TO vote for whom
they pleased, you would hear no more OF such
foolishness. No, Sir. This investigation will
be beneficial TO us. Senator Hoar is an honest
man and will give a fair report OF the facts.
That done and we have no fears"

A CONFESSED OUTRAGE
Perpetrated by Reckless Police Of
neers Upon q Citizen.


ncers Upon % Citizen.
The outrages that good citizens are sub
jccted to by few reckless and incompetent
policemen can DO seen by the following
apology Of Major Dye to respectable
gentleman, who was outraged at the hands
Of such officers. The gentleman referred to
Is Mr.. r. M. Beaver, Of No. SIS Tenth
street, opposite the Medical Museum, who
has large house and rents rooms to large
number Of gentlemen, mostly Government
clerks.
About the LIST of December a party Of
officers, who imagined that some of the in
mates were gambling, entered the house
after midnight and searched the house and
disturbed the sleeping inmates, but found
no gambling or other violation Of the law,
but we'll regulated and orderly household,
and found no excuse for arresting any body
and left.
Major Dye learning Of the failure of the
police to justify their action in the shame
full proceeding, wrote TO Mr.. Beaver as fol-
lows.

WASHINGTON, d. o., DEC. ., 1883.
MY DEAR SIN; In addition to what l have

that am satisfied, after my Conversation with

nation on which officers called on Saturday

tify tho belief that there was,with your knowl-
edge, any violation OF law under your roof,
and, perhaps, has been mono In any OF tho

THE CONTROL OF THE JAIL.

breNbteFs AttUTney.ucueTht. IN
formed as to His Duty by the Dis
trict Jud icinry.
From the time that Brewster became Attor
ney-General he assumed authority over tho
District jail, dictated the number of employees
TO be engaged and salary each was to receive,
and down TO n few days ago has insisted on
that authority as being supreme. In further
ance Of this authority an investigation
was recently set on foot as to the man.
ner in which the jail was conducted and the
morale OF the institution.
Recently tho Judiciary Committee OF tho
Senate, through It's chairman, declared that
the Department OF Justice had nothing what
ever to do with the jail, beyond paying the
salary OF the employees, and that the super
vision OF the prison rested In the Supreme
Court Of this District.
The announcement OF this decision set the
wiseacres In the Attorney Generals OfIlco to
thinking as to how to extricate themselves from
the dilemma into which they had gotten, and
explain their deliberate usurpation of power
and violation OF laws 1t was supposed they
would sec enforced.
Fearing that the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee would take more positive steps 10 have the
law observed, and compel them TO recognize
the seat OF the authority governing the Jail, q
communication was written TO the Bench Of
Judges OF this District, In which the action OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee was recited;
also stating that an investigation into certain
charges which had been preferred, rejecting
on some OF the officials Of the Jail, had been
luStllutcu anu WAS III pEOBrcSs, anu d5keu tllut
IL might DO continued TO the close.
To this letter an answer was prepared, In
which the judges afIirmed the action OF the
Judiciary Committee and asserted that II only
followed the opinion that the Court had no.
peatedly expressed that the authority and su.
pervision of the jail rested in tho Supreme
Court ofthis District, and not In the Depart
ment OF Justice; that while the Attorney. Gen.
eral had no right or authority to institute an
investigation In connection with any charges
preferred against the prison or It's oiIlcers as
Attorney. General, still no had the one privl-
lege accorded every citizen, which was that
he could mako inquiry as private
citizen, and only In that way,
unless otherwise authorized. II there was to
DO an inquiry into the MANAGEMENT or the Jail
II must be open and public. Those accused
must have the opportunity to meet their ac-
cusers, and the public, II they wished, the OPP.
portunity to hear the testimony on both sides.
They would take the matter under further
advlsement, and II 1t was deemed necessary to
institute an investigation, they would decide
when and where IL should take place and In
what manner be conducted.
This brings the correspondence up to date,
and what Will follow can only be conjectured,
but II is pretty safe 10 say that tho Supreme
Court OF this District intends to carry out the
law and have the supervision OF the Jail Just
so far as they arc satisfied that right Is re.
posed In them.
