Winters Charms.

When the air is cold
And the winds grow bold,
And the robes of snow do the earth enfold:
When the home lights glow
And the bril- sht flames throw

Where are roses then?
Not in field or fen.

An important revelation is looked for to-day
IN the now famous Cluverius murder case. in
which Thomas j. Cluverius has been convicted
of the murder of his cousin, Fanny Lillian
Madison, at the city reservoir in Richmond,
March 18th, 1885. Cluverius is under sentence
OF death on December 10th. Strenuous efforts
have been made to get the accused pardoned,
on the ground that he has been convicted upon
purely circumstantial evidence and petition
vii! be presented to this effect to the governor
to-day. Richmond special to the Baltimore
american last night says: One of the most dam
aging features Of the trial to Cluverius was his
refusal or inability to give any account of his
whereabouts on the night OF the murder. To-
day Mr.: F. A. Howell, one OF the members
OF the jury that convicted him, visited Clu-
verius in his cell. The prisoner asked the
visitor II 1T would make any difference if he
made statement accounting for his move
ments from the time of his arrival here, the
DAY before the murder, until he was arrested.
Mr. Howell said that the members OF the jury
hoped that he could prove his innocence. 1t is
understood that the prisoner will have state
ment OF this kind ready tomorrow.

An Illinois Sensation.

HON. JEHU BAKER ASSAULTS A REPORTER.
Hon. Jehu Baker created a sensation in Belle
ville ILL.,, yesterday by assaulting ]. NJ. Beach,
the suburban reporter of the st. Louis Republi-
can, and defying Col. Morrison's henchmen
when they attempted to eject him from the
post office. A ST. Louis special to the Philadel-
phia Press last night says: Beach had worked
hard for Morrison during the campaign and
had written several articles calculated to in
flame Mr.. Bakers temper. They had not met
for several weeks, and when they encountered
each other in the post office to-day, Beach
bowed, but the Hon. Jehu turned ON him
wrathiully and began abusing him for his con-
duct during the campaign. He denounced the
Chicago NeWs and Times and the Bellev:lie
NelCs and St Louis Republican. He then de-
nounced Beach personally and struck at him
with his cane. Beacn lodged the first blow
and the second struck him on the arm. He
then closed with Baker and Wrenched the cane
from his grasp, at the same time telling him he
was too old a man to strike After losing the
cane Baker attempted to use his hands, but
Postmaster Enslemann rushed in between the
pair and after separating them ordered them to
leave the building. Beach stepped to the street,
but Baker refused to go. Englemann, who is
an appointee OF Col. Morrison, then made a
formal demand on Baker to leave the premises
OF the government; Baker again refused and
Engemann summoned two policemen. By
this time u great crowd had collected and some
OF MIR. Bakers friends took possession OF him
and carried him away. Beach was not hurt

to accumulate at the bottom OF the shaft. The

around. A most pitiful sight was witnessed at

WASHINGTON, OCTOBER o, 1856
THE CITIZENS, ASSOCIATION.

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times, referring TO the
proposed organization of Citizens
Association In this District, says that
"the proposition may be regarded by
the Commissioners as an intimation that
the discharge of their duties hitherto
has not been altogether satisfactory
Inasmuch as Commissioner Wheatley
has siguifed his approval of the
proposition, it does not look as If he,
at least, regarded 1t as reflection upon
himself or an infringement on his
baiiwick. The intention is not to oh.
struct, but TO assist, the Commission
ers, who not being representatives, oil
delegates TO Congress, would find n
properly organized committee of great
service in ascertaining the wishes Of
the people and facilitating such legisla-
tion as might be deemed necessary. The
Commissioners are supposed to base
their recommendations upon the pub
lie needs and administer the laws so as
10 best subserve the public welfare. 1t
is Of Importance that they be kept well
posted as to the wants of the several
sections of the city, and in regard to
all enterprises or improvements in
which the community at large has
direct interest. The views of any re-
sponsibe association of citizens con-
cerning these matters would of course
be desirable and acceptable as an aid to
the determination of what policy to
adopt or action to pursue.
The correspondent says further:
"Should the association be formed some
fear is expressed lest it should bios
som out at an early day as the exponent
of all the franchise hunting people in
the CITY," We admit that in almost
any committee, that might be organ
lied, whether large or small, the AK
grinding element would be encoun-
tered; but this is one of the obstacles to
legislation that the association is
specially designed to overcome. 1t is
to bring strong public sentiment to
bear upon conflicting interests, that
they may be forced TO adjust or com
promise their disagreements. The in
fluence of an association composed OF
representative citizens, though it might
not be supreme, could hardly fail to be
more or less potent in its self.asser
tions and exert wholesome check
upon any attempted perversion of The
action of its Executive COMMITTEES tC
corrupt or merely personal Ns.
But the contingency of such actior
on the part Of any Executive Commit
tee of reputable and influential citizens
is scarcely to be entertained. The risl,
in this direction is small. The chances
in the other direction are that the asso-
citation would prove splendid practi.

MAJOR wALKEn,s KupOnr.

The annual report Of Major and
Superintendent Samuel II. Walker of
the Metropolitan Police force not only
contains much more information in de
tail concerning the organization and
condition of the department than was
ever embodied in any similar report,
but abounds in recommendations of
practical and progressive character.
1t appears from this report that the
number of privates on the force, all
told, is 235, Of which number 40 are
daily detailed for other duties than those
of patrolmen, and 10 are mounted men
outside the boundaries Of the city,
leaving but 176 for the protection Of
the city proper, only half of whom are
on duty at any one time, Tables are
adduced which show that considering
The area of territory to be covered and
the number of men available for the
service, there is no large city in the
country so inadequately provided for
as the Capital of this great nation.
Hence the suggestion of Major Walker
that Congress should'increase the force
by at least one hundred additional pa.
irolmen will be seen to have great
weight, though q smaller number Is
called for by the estimates; especially
when we take into view the rapid
growth of the city, the vast amount of
valuable property to be protected, and
the prospective eXpositions which will
add many thousands to an already large
and constantly growing transient pop
ulation.
The report takes up the different
precincts of the city in their order,
giving minute information as to the
personnel, extent and wants of each,
making still more apparent the urgent
necessity of additional men to render
the force properly effective. 1t is
shown that in the Third Precinct, for
instance, which embraces the Execu-
tive Mansion, the Treasury, the War,
Navy and the State department
buildings, there are about forty miles
of streets and alleys, to patrol which
there are only six men for day duty
and eleven for night duty. In all
the precincts similar condition of
things exists, some Of the beats re-
quired to be covered by one officer be-
ing fully eight miles, Well may the
Major say the time has come for a
change.
The report also recommends, besides
an increase Of the force, the establish.
ment of a Reform School for girls,
some provision for a suitable morgue,
the purchase of a police boat for the
harbor, higher license for the retail
dealer in intoxicating liquors, the adop.
tion of the New York law in regard to
pool-rooms and more rigorous legisa-
iion for the prevention of gambling.
Much space is devoted to minor sug-
gestlons bearing upon the better or.
ganization Of the department, the care
Of inebriates and other subjects coming
